Bobby Thomas in the box!!!

Walks into Sheaf and gets a free kick.. shocking

 

[Nick]

Surely a foul on Thomas?

 

[pusbccfc]

That's horredous refereeing.

 

[jordan210]

Walks into Sheaf and gets a free kick.. shocking

typical ex prem team tactics, shocking the ref gave it

 

[shmmeee]

Random one have they changed the rule on multiple balls around the pitche. I dint think you could do that in EFL

Yeah part of the time wasting stuff they brought in this year

 

[mark82]

Clearly Leicester are gonna get everything today.

 

[Cov98]

Godden got sent for a hot dog

 

[pusbccfc]

Fall over. Foul. Fall over. Repeat.

 

[Happy_Martian]

Why does every tv commentator pronounce Gus as Harmer?

It's Pien Meulensteen. To be fair, she's also Dutch so may have inside knowledge of how to pronouce it

It's a known fact that we, the Brits tend to bastardize pronunciations as we can't get our tongues around some languages.

Standard

 

[Nick]

Giving them everything as soon as they dive

 

[David O'Day]

Ref is star struck by Leicester

 

[Saddlebrains]

Simms has been fucking garbage lets not shy away from it

 

[fatso]

TBF, 30 minutes is giving enough of a chance isn't it? Lay into him lads!

Are you watching him?

 

[ptr]

Simms wants to be in the box. Not chasing balls out wide.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Simms has been fucking garbage lets not shy away from it

Not what I was expecting put it that way.

 

[Nick]

Thomas has taken more players on than everybody else put together

 

[Macca]

Simms has been fucking garbage lets not shy away from it

I mean yes certainly in this game

 

[shmmeee]

It's Pien Meulensteen. To be fair, she's also Dutch so may have inside knowledge of how to pronouce it

It's a known fact that we, the Brits tend to bastardize pronunciations as we can't get our tongues around some languages.

Har-mer is the correct Dutch pronunciation

 

[Cov98]

Hopefully with someone like Wright next to him he can just focus on being in the right place and putting it into the back of the net because being involved in the build up does not seem like his strong point at all.

 

[CovInEssex]

Simms looks like he never has the ball under control

 

[glasgowfan]

Ref is star struck by Leicester

No, we are just obsessed with the idea that all refs are biased against us

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Hadji Wright and MVE on as soon as we can. The game needs their directness.

Might be worth playing 5-3-2 to mitigate Leicester’s midfield dominance. MVE for Palmer or Eccles at this point.

 

[usskyblue]

Give Simms a fucking chance. Vic was a phenom, we have to adjust as a team and play differently as such.

We’re doing okay.. the back four are solid so far.

 

[The Nomad]

Simms is woeful. Get him off at half time.

 

[Blind-Faith]

Jesus Christ Simms, was awful against Exeter and now having a stinker today. Let’s hope he’s not Sunderland’s secret agent

 

[Matt smith]

Looks like he needs someone like Wright alongside him

 

[jordan210]

Midfields plan is just to play it long to simms and hope

 

[mark82]

Simms is woeful. Get him off at half time.

Give it a rest. He's had a couple of poor touches, but he's done it in this league before.

 

[Grendel]

Real chance there

 

[Matt smith]

Much better from Simms that

 

[croatskyblue]

Leicester are better than us, as you’d expect them to be, not exactly a surprise. But yeah, Simms is garbage and needs binning- 44 mins into the season

 

[Grendel]

Real chance there

 

[mrfr]

Our collective xG is 0.13 and we’ve got one cross into the box all half. If we’re going to criticise Simms let’s at least recognise that he hasn’t been provided with anything constituting an actual goal scoring opportunity. If you think he’s going to beat 3 defenders and lash it in from 25 yard you’re going to have a hard time watching him all season.
