Leo actually played the full 90 yesterday for once, but we were appalling from the moment the second half kicked off.

Have you listened to Oasthouse? Very good. Also, if you've never seen them, I recommend tracking down Mid Morning Matters. Some of the very best Partridge.

Agreed.

cos he did a good job v leciester and Fatuwu i would bring back Quarshie and make him the left CB, move Stephens to Central role and give Wood a break after his recent clangers .Both Wright and mason clark have some speed, not sure about simmons but him as well probably.

Don't disagree with the general sentiment, but he wasn't the biggest culprit on the goals. Wood was gash for both and, as ever, our defending at wide positions wasn't good enough.

Yeah, he definitely looks to run out of puff and his touch gets noticeably worse. If he's here next season we need to get a proper expert to help him with his stamina in pre-season. But yesterday the drop off came much earlier than that so I don't think we can say this was the cause.

Lol. The Azaz one was barely a chance at all. The Scienza one was a shot from 25 yards. You can't go around saying "on another day that goes in". Mentalist.

Everyone is entitled to their own views and if you think increasing taxes and expanding the state is the way forward, that’s fine. I understand what you are saying but don’t agree with your view as increased day to day state spending has never got a country out of a hole that I know off. However, I think my point is these aren’t conservative views. im not saying that their voting patterns would all be right of centre (although a good proportion I suspect would). What I am saying is that when it comes to economic policy people I deal with day to day wants pro business policies which reduce obligation / restriction and cost for business and policies which encourage innovation and growth and reward. They never want higher taxes personally or for business and increase in state intervention because it often causes bureaucracy which stifles business. The tend to want less government intervention, other than maybe state intervention for capital projects which improve infrastructure. This includes a range of people including larger corporates, foreign investors, uk investors and SMEs. You and I have had this discussion before so happy to agree to disagree before we start going round in circles

So you would know then that Maitlis is one of the worst examples of a mainstream political commentator to use in this context as she has been caught in the crossfire of allegations of anti Tory bias, being a strong Remainer (whilst at the BBC when she should have been impartial) and left leaning bias. Whilst you say im so biased I can’t see the wood for the trees the below articles prove that other people have this view in relation to Maitlis (and there is plenty more on this topic). Therefore a bad example of a journalist to use for their definition of what is right wing. They do know more about politics than me but in principle it wouldn’t stop them being biased, which is the point being made. A suggestion, when you start talking aggressively about a subject, be sure to understand it first. Own it.😆 https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/emily-maitlis-wants-a-remainer-bbc/#:~:text=There was her infamous Dominic,close to being over it. https://commentcentral.co.uk/one-rule-for-emily-maitlis-and-another-for-the-rest-of-us

Im saying that I wouldnt use Maitlis in particular in the context of this discussion. She has been accused by those on the centre right of bias more than once. Other journalists yes but not ones accused of bias to then define what is far right. Thats my point.

The drop off comes from Scienza truly being able to last 60 minutes at his blistering pace, and we are a one trick pony.

Perhaps. But he would have fluffed a pass out of the back during Norwich's press. This is not to say Baz did great, I just think we lose regardless of the 2 keepers we have, just in a different way perhaps.

That’s the core of the problem. There has been no development/improvements in Bazunu’s game. His only clear strength is with the ball at his feet; all the other fundamentals of goalkeeping are sub-standard or inconsistent, and have remained so over four years, including the loan spell. To think that in such an important season, we have continued a four year stretch (Ramsdale’s season excepted) with McCarthy and Bazunu as our goal keeping choices is a shocking indictment of the Club’s recruitment. The rumoured loan deal in January for another keeper has to happen.

Played 5; Won 4; Lost 1

Manning comes close

Good point. There are only 7 days in a week still and we play 2 games in 7 days. Imagine the extra mental fatigue you must face if someone is telling you that you have played 3 games in 7 days. Poor lambs.

I blame the Beatles

Another situation that has been made worse because there aren't enough 'good guys' with guns - mass shooting at Brown University.

Interesting that on Educating Yorkshire they did some investigation into a disruptive pupil who had previously been well behaved in Year 7 and below. He was assessed for autism And ADHD and other conditions When they looked into many things including his diet and saw that his intake of sugar and caffeine had increased significantly from year 7 to year 8 it correlated with bad behaviour. when they dialled it back in they saw he returned to relevantly normal behaviour. and people insist it’s nothing to do with sugar and diet

Haven’t got the email yet, but did have to update the app earlier. Might be worth a try.

Jack Stephens. Two in one team is Sports Republic tastic mate

I normally agree with most of what you say, but we really did not look good first half. And it just got worse. I've come to realise that we're just shit most of the time, and pretty decent some of the time. Which is not enough for anything better than mid-table. Which is fine. We just need to not be so arrogant as fans to think we are going to smash everyone or be anywhere near promotion this season like a lot on here still seem to think. As we are clearly not. We should be due to budget/player value etc, but when it's drilled into them to play it around our own 18 yard box at all expenses then we deserve nothing.

Just seems the minute a contract is signed it descends into chaos. What did he say at half time……….

Benali at left back?

Same here, I have logged an e mail with Saints. Could be interesting with midday KO, no Internet connection around ground. Sfc wi fi only works when less than 2,000 at ground.
