They got some kids on the sidelines to shine their phone torches at random intervals

How about three games in a week?

Yeah I’d put Lusala in for Thomas and have Latibeaudiere at CB. Ideally we need a way to rest Eccles too but the only senior players left are Bidwell and Tavares?!

Huge if true

Given how little playing time I expect him to have for the rest of the season, Dasilva has to start this game somehow, even if it’s out of position.

Has been below par on far too many occasions recently. Teams are having a field day targeting him in the air. His speed and technical ability make him a valuable player but he still has a lot to learn.

I swear to god, the fact that our team kept so many clean sheets last season, while playing an extremely cautious safety-first system that was almost tailor-made to minimise the stress on the keeper, has just completely broken the brains of many people when it comes to how to evaluate our keepers.

His average position map from that game seems to suggest otherwise (he’s #55):

It’s a conspiracy that could see sales of the Irish rugby away kit treble - as many as six whole shirts.

VAR is, and always has been shit for a free-flowing game like football. Fine for games like rugby, cricket and the NFL where the game stops every couple of minutes anyway and the rules that need enforcing are easily defined. Only reason to bring it in for lower league football is if you want...

You’re correct, assuming you mean Moore and Wilson

I think with the squad as stretched as it is he made a tactical decision to give up on this game with an eye on Maidstone and WBA. We simply don’t have the depth to go gung-ho for a result in a game where we’re 3-0 down at half time. That said, the move to bring on Torp was so odd to me.

Currently looks like a bad deal for both sides

I’ve been quite supportive of Simms this season but I think that’s very generous

His first touch is truly horrendous, I don’t see how you could say he did well tonight. I think he’s got potential but his ceiling is way lower than I thought it was at the start of the season.

Right but seriously what was with the lights on the phones

There is no way we are actually that bad but after a game like that you have to seriously question the true potential of players like Simms, Binks, Thomas, Van Ewijk and Simms. And you have to question whether Wilson and Dasilva should be playing for us at all.

Full strength against these

Hopefully Hamer can finally step up after signing that new contract
