Well that’s jinxed that then...

It wasn’t a prediction!

So please tell me who is ahead with f him this season!

Walker has been involved directly in far more goals

 

[Frostie]

Biamou. Our most creative striker. Yes he misses too many but has this season had by far the biggest impact.

Don't agree with that but he's had a few good games where he's been effective for sure.

 

[Frostie]

Walker has been involved directly in far more goals

And in far less minutes.

 

[covcity4life]

They play a back four, how he is building the attack is less important. There’s a game on can we do the football basics lesson later?

Basics? From the guy who wants to always havw players in unfamiliar positions lol

 

[Grendel]

Don't agree with that but he's had a few good games where he's been effective for sure.

His had about 5 good games - this is what I mean. Absurd hyperbole

 

[Liquid Gold]

Lads, I think we might not be watching championship football at the ricoh arena next season!!!

Stop it

Is that better?

More of the same City. O’Hare on after 70mins

Good first half, played Barnsley at their own game pressing high. Mccallum has been excellent again.

And when we get the high press right we seem to be able to give anyone a tough game.

He suits the direct game as well. Probably the best we have at bringing down high balls and bringing others in, even if he does have a tendency of passing back to the back line after he’s won it.

 

[Barnsley]

Won't comment on your boring mark comment till full time ..

SO FAR we've got it right

What can you say ?. He’s as boring as a party at a train spotters house, always as been.

 

[Frostie]

I'm agreeing with you...
I don't think he's good enough at this level either but can still accept that he's had some good games too.

Try it, it doesn't hurt I promise.

I like winning personally.

Its route one play but both sides are doing it

Chaplin off. They stand a better chance of scoring now.

 

[shmmeee]

@Barnsley are all your games like this? High line and lump balls up to Dike?

 

[Magwitch1]

It’s ugly as fuck for the second game in a row, but they’re showing so much fight that’s been missing at times this season.

Will be interesting to see how we set up next season if we survive. Do we add quality and go for good football again, or do we buy players to go more direct?

Can’t go good football on that pitch long ball and big boot I’m afraid, the pitch must be covered in divots

 

[Frostie]

Quite. We've adapted to a gameplan where as Barnsley always play this way. Not sure how that makes us boring but I'll take it either way.

Not on about the play, I’m on about him.

Better than Dion Dublin.
Best striker we’ve ever had. Surprised a top 4 premier league club hasn’t come in for him.

 

[Hobo]

To be fair to Da Costa he’s at least trying to keep focused on defending on holding position

He still looks a bit shaky at times but v Rotherham and today looks more focused and trying to get things right.

 

[Liquid Gold]

You’re talking like your team is playing like 08 Barca. Both teams doing the same thing

 

[hill83]

Who gives a fuck if a manager is boring as a personality or not?

 

[Barnsley]

Quite. We've adapted to a gameplan where as Barnsley always play this way. Not sure how that makes us boring but I'll take it either way.

I didn’t say you I said him, have you ever seen him smile ?.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Not on about the play, I’m on about him.

What’s really important in a football manager is the ability to juggle on the sidelines to liven things up.

 

[hill83]

Can’t believe we are on about managers smiling now after the Walker nonsense earlier, ha ha

 

[Sick Boy]

Who gives a fuck if a manager is boring as a personality or not?

It’s about as relevant if a player smiles enough during games.

 

[clint van damme]

Not on about the play, I’m on about him.

What do you want him to do, ride around the technical area on a unicycle? Juggle knives in his interviews?

 

[Frostie]

@Barnsley are all your games like this? High line and lump balls up to Dike?

Yep. Other teams think their own quality will eventually shine through & often come unstuck (like Brentford did vs Us for example). We've instead been pragmatic & totally outplaying them as a result.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I didn’t say you I said him, have you ever seen him smile ?.

This’ll do for me

 

[Tommo1993]

I didn’t say you I said him, have you ever seen him smile ?.

Ah the smiling argument. Still have no idea what a weak expression has to do with anything.

 

[Sick Boy]

Nice shoulder barge from Biamou.

Oh piss off you idiot

Wasn't smiling though
