Basically he's a chilled out entertainer...

Digital tickets truly are one of the worst things in modern football. And that's truly tough competition.

Gassed

Which one are you using?

If we’re going to be committed to playing 523 then Romeu makes little sense. Even when he was younger he wasn’t that mobile and now he’s 34. If when he’s fitter we’re playing something like a 433, then I could see value of bringing him on to help see out games.

Before our recent woeful form we didn't have woeful form for a number of games. HTH.

Flatulence

Er, we haven't been at best a middle table Championship side for years. This year, sure. But not at all since 2011-2, 14 odd years ago.

That’s exactly how I feel about it. Do people think big Centre forwards are just going to challenge THB & Wood in the air & not pull onto Manning & Jelert as they hit diagonals. It’s not like KWP or Cedric where their positives outweigh that negative & it’s worth noting that even Lego played 3 centre halves in the play off final with Manning on the bench. Bree will defo help & Fellows is good enough defensively to offer some cover. But Leo isn’t a Stewart Armstrong or Frazier from 2 years ago, we need him going the other way, not doubling up on a winger who keeps skinning Manning or Wellington one on one.

Only just realised? We have been absolutely woeful for about 3-4 seasons and I do not see that improving any time soon. We are at best a middle table championship side and have been for years. Sad isn’t it.

Great pics. Back in the early 80s, I'd collect £1.50 from each of my mates, give all the cash to my Mum who would post off a cheque to the Dell ticket office,with a stamped, addressed envelope. A few days later, the tickets would drop through the letterbox. Simpler times. Edit: Was it really only £1.50 for kids in the Keegan era, or am I mis-remembering?

I'm pretty sure it will be the same excuse as every week. That we trained well, played really well until they scored and were unlucky we didn't score first.

Some nice memories there.

Re supplements. I've added Shilajit, and changed my Lions Mane to one with an uptake formula, and increased the dose. Not the limitless reaction that your mate describes, but there's a difference for sure. If you're not feeling it, maybe look at dosage.

I read "deflect" as "defect" and was picturing Front Line Farage, sent to the Russian front, having been lied to about having a non combat role. 🙂

I'm not sure about your last point. Whether to play a 4 or 5 is a tactical thing, but whatever system you play, the right players are needed. If Manning must play, he's far more suited to being in a 5. His strength (ha) is going forward, not defending. Where he's not helped is having a midfielder covering behind if he's caught up field, or the left CB coming across. On balance, I'd prefer us to play a 4, but I'm not convinced we have the LB to do it, or the right blend in midfield. Back to the point though - I'm glad Bree is coming back, and he'll improve us imo,particularly if we play a 4.

I was genuinely excited about Romeu's return, I'm not going to hide from that. I knew he wouldn't be the same player that left us, but even if he was 70% the player we all loved, then having him around a squad that has become increasingly disconnected with us fans, would surely have a benefit. OR is a great pro, and clearly enjoyed his time here with us previously. What I have seen since his second coming is kinda confusing. On the pitch he's been so far off it, that his presence is a liability. Ouch, that stung a bit. But its the off the pitch I cannot fathom. In a squad with no leaders, why is he so quiet? Where's his input? Was Tonda perhaps unhappy with the signing? Has he been deliberately subdued and nullified by lack of appearances and performances? Can see him mutually ending this adventure before the month is out if I'm honest. And that leads to my final point. We are really in the shit with bloated unbalanced mess of a squad and piss ant leadership. Good times.

That would discount all our defenders who can't get bloody 6 inches off the ground!

This is a major problem and we don't have coaches who are smart enough to do anything about it. A coach who is switched on will make a few subtle tweaks to change things rather than just keep doing what has already been sussed out. The training ground is the place to work on alternative formations and systems but clearly we are not doing it or not doing it well enough. Every side has a generic system they utilise but they don't all capitulate when opponents do something to nullify them. In game management needs to be much smarter as well. We must start making tactical changes or we will continue to be far too predictable. Unfortunately none of this is likely to happen under Eckert and his coaches because they are not up to the required level and don't have enough experience.

Trumped

The Tories and Labour are at least a decade behind in terms of how they utilise social media (my own view). Influencers across all age groups would help but doesnt seem to be a concern for them.

This is very interesting... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c150leql9pgo

I hope the media starts looking into Reform and Farage in more detail. Of course he'll deflect and we'll get the usual whatabouttery.
