I know I’m in the minority and I actually think he’ll come good, but Kitching is so rash off the ball.

This looks really really bad for Sakamoto. Eccles reaction was really bad.

4 mins in and it’s a safe bet; Ref is shit.

Quite liked it being quieter, the benefits of the new improved concourse beer selection with the queues of the old days ie none. Was an unexpected treat to squeeze a pint in. Super fans only from now on.

I genuinely don’t mind that. Ability wise we’ve been shit. If we grind it out and have a committed performance it’s an improvement.

Kitching and Bidwell are probably interchangeable with Binks and JDS, but much of a muchness. BTA over Simms and Bassette is interesting. I’m assuming he’s attempting to utilise pace against their slow CBs. Generally most of us would have chosen the rest of that team and we have a strong bench...

Picking the best 11 players and sticking with them makes sense. There’s also an argument he picks the 11 players who are actually up for it, won’t buckle under the pressure and won’t be nervous on the ball. Venn diagram of those two statements likely only produces a handful of players; Eccles...

It’s almost a moot point whoever you play at full back - both sides. It was glaringly obvious v Swansea how exposed they were, but I called it out a few games before that, as our wingers were/are playing incredibly narrow when defending and I honestly cannot understand the tactic? If they were...

Berlin Marathon for me tomorrow! I’ve had the most consistent running period of my life the last few months, including near consecutive 50 mile weeks for the last two months. So in some ways I feel I should be in a better place than previous marathons, but equally I have to say my legs are...

Dropping a keeper who has conceded a goal every game? MR Out. I’m clearly being flippant, and admittedly it’s an odd choice, but the emotions on this forum are mental.

Not a criticism of you as it’s all subject, but I flicked through it out of interest and I don’t think he looked too bad!

Sounds familiar!!

Agree and it’s the same point as mine. Even if one player is doing it properly it’s entirely pointless, so by default it isn’t actually being done properly.

Still this. Dreading the breakdowns when we get tanked by Leeds on Saturday.

Another massive thing to sort out is the “press”. Either do it properly or don’t at all. It’s either a tactic from MR et al or indiscipline, but this half arsed pressing in ones and twos and leaving acres of space behind is hurting us. We could actually press really effectively, our four most...

Big part of an internet forum is anonymity, so I haven’t posted this before as ‘real’ and ‘internet’ worlds collide, but it’s all for charity…. The ‘Recommend a Beer’ thread might give it away, but I’m a big fan of nice beer. I’m fortunate enough to have been able to create, organise and run a...

Really? Fucking hell.

This is a bad start, even for us who seem to start poorly every year. We have no clear tactics, players looks unmotivated (and tired), there appears to be in fighting and, despite spending a good amount the last two years, our squad is lob sided. Biggest concern in all of it; is how absolutely...

Eccles, Bidwell, poss MVE/Binks calling out the other players? No idea who is that ill disciplined to call out the coaches - whatever you may think of them. Bassette has the attitude to be involved in this sort of drama, but surely not this new into his time here.

We’re getting battered at Leeds
