Yours will be a Chelsea fackin Smile! (Foams at mouth)

Does Kitching actually do it well? I genuinely can’t remember. It can obviously leave us vulnerable on the break if the player is dispossessed, but I’m all for it. I bet MR is kicking himself over buying Kitching, when for a bit more, he may have been able to prise Doyle from Man City.

I’ll glass ya, ya c**t!!! 🤣

As some have alluded to, I think we may have accidentally discovered that Rudoni is actually a very good wide player. It makes sense really, he has the technical skills, good feet, excellent crossing ability. Wonder if MR will be brave enough to convert him into a wide midfielder who can fill...

Anyone who believes that we can’t be sucked back into that bottom 3 and entrenched in it, needs a good shaking. I’m not a blind optimist, I’m afraid, but neither am I a cynic. We have to push on as a team now, after this amazing result. These players HAVE got it in them after all, however it’s...

Been ill most of the day, and barely able to piss straight (let alone anything else), but what a turnaround after the subs came on. 👏 Now excuse me while I get lightheaded and drop my phone. Get in you lovely Sky Blue bastards; Rudoni wide and Torp-edo behind the attackers (as I proposed...

That sounds horrible, mate. 🙏🏻

If we go a goal up, I just hope we don’t sit back and invite the pressure. Not against Luton, they’ll just batter us. We need some big performances today. 2-1 City, come on you bastards. 🩵

I’d rather him strafe wide and centre, to keep them guessing - if Torp was to play more advanced, he could try and get Wright in behind them. I do fear though, we’ll stick to the same personnel and formation, in which case we’d have to hit them on the counter regularly.

@Saddlebrains He’s basically offering you out, mate. 🤣

Dovin MVE Thomas Lati Dasilva Sheaf Tatsu Torp Rudoni Bassette Wright Not as crackpot as it looks, as I have Wright roaming left and centre, with Rudoni tucking in behind Torp tactically. Bassette can run his arse off and press for an hour and make way for BTA. Tatsu and MVE linking up down...

All of these observations about ‘players forgetting how to pass/control a ball’ reminds me of my own experiences as a young footballer. Admittedly, I was ‘ok’, however whenever I had a trial for the school team, I’d play within myself. I’d overthink everything, over-hit passes, get dragged out...

We’ve utilised the loan market semi-decently in recent times, and we have to make use of it again. Even a few short term deals in January. Two or three experienced (but not geriatric) players are a must.

That’s a pretty pants average finishing position. 🤣

There’s more chance of Adi returning, as there is for me growing another head out of my armpit. Adi’s gone and it’s not likely he’ll be back. I do, however, mark his exit and the departure of Dennis Lawrence prior, to the issues we’ve had tactically and motivationally. The influx of new...

Whatever system we use, it is negated by the ‘lack of confidence’ around the players. It’s too early to tell regarding EMC, far too early. He looks like a player trying too hard, and from experience, that just undoes you as a player.

Everything points to the coaching infrastructure. It wasn’t broken, so they fixed it anyway. 🤷‍♂️

Fair enough, but it should be abundantly clear to the coaching staff even Doug, that we need to supplement this young team with a spine of experience. I always remember the ‘you won’t win anything with kids’ argument (Alan Hansen I think, aimed at Utd and their class of 92), however it’s...

17th. I said before the season started, that this campaign would not be the cake-walk that some were billing it as. This squad is not a ‘team’ yet, and I’m very concerned at the level of performances. Surely, these players are more capable and mentally stoic than this?

I don’t get how, we can take an early lead and then do next to nothing to build on it. Then we concede a shit goal, and sit on it. No impetus, no drive, no belief. No tactical dynamism. I can’t see where this recovery will materialise from. These players do not have it in them.
