On Saturday we missed our chances. Had we not done so it would have been a comfortable 3 points. Just one of those days.

Heard that and immediately thought of us. We do far too much walking football especially when Capn Jack plays.

Looking at the Premier League table this evening.

We've got no excuses for not having rock solid contingency plans in place, regardless of the outcome. _________________________________________________ What, like a replacement lined up? Jesus, even on easy mode that plan has a massive failure rate...................its why we are sticking by the dude.

Erased

Spurs bottom of the league for next 3 weeks

Or if its questionable whether they're up to it. Neither are a CF.

Scored again today, 3 in 3 in the league so far.

Yep and you were right.

Fair comment, although I was responding to a post that implied we didn't know what to do with the ball, when it was actually a very good performance with the ball, save for finishing.

Yeah and 1 goal should've been enough to win that game because they created next to nothing. Until we tighten up at the back we won't be going anywhere.

Glad it's going badly. Hate Leciester.

We created several great chances.

Some teams focus generally on cheaper, less skilled players that have heightened levels of stamina. Some teams focus on more expensive, ball playing individuals that cost more but are not gifted with high stamina/fitness. Coaching skills differ for each team type, with high data lead systems featuring for the latter teams. As holistic team stamina can be found wanting in the latter style teams, high levels of possession are generally required to manage the team across 90+ minutes. No prizes for guessing what type of team Saints are?

His hands end up in the same location on the pitch after the dive as they were before it. How many times did he do that with us? One step to his right and they would have been in a better position!

More importantly, will we be using legal council (at all?) that will actually bother to look?

Obviously this is a bit of a leap, but I wonder if they are both signings courtesy of Ankerson's brothers data system and whether that's why all of a sudden Ankerson resigned because he's wasted more of Dragan's money. Also, 2+2=5

Will Sport Resolutions be selecting panel members without any connections (no matter how fleeting) to the case this time around...?

Gary Neville has just said ‘never walk on a football pitch’………….he’d go mad if he saw how we play! He’s absolutely right though and this is just one of our problems

The trouble is, it’s not just about Mubama - it’s about the players around him and their suitability to his style of play. That could also mean of course that he gets fewer chances when lesser players like Edozie come on too. You have to question whether Mubama has been brought in to adapt to our system or is Eckhert and his system too inflexible to adapt to Mubama? And that in turn doesn’t even address the fact that Mubama himself is a developing player - he’s probably 3-5 years from gaining his best form so expectations from many are just too high right now.

Good, get it done. Then we can finally draw a line under it and get on with the season without all the uncertainty hanging over our heads. Albeit, we chose this path, knowing full well that we were going to face further sanctions and disruption, rather than cleaning house and moving on in the summer. We've got no excuses for not having rock solid contingency plans in place, regardless of the outcome.

It’s not a question of trust and ambition, some of the ideas people have are just fantasy. We’ve already got a squad that has no excuses not to at least be in the hunt for automatic promotion, even if we sign nobody in January. We’ve been battering everyone at home, there’s fact that we can’t buy a win on the road is purely management and psychology. We’ve just signed two strikers who started every week last season and scored about 16 goals between them. Yesterday they played about eight minutes combined in a game we needed a goal in from first to last whistle. There’s no point stockpiling strikers if our manager hasn’t got a clue what to do with them.

After watching Motd since the B&W days I'm losing interest, the teams have ridiculous home shirts , the away team play in even more ridiculous shirts neither bear any relation to their traditional colours, sometimes I think team x is home team then it turns out it isn't 😄 The players have no relation to the team they are playing in and are mainly from around the the world then change teams every window so even more confusing when a South American player that was Newcastle's favourite is now in an Arsenal shirt Is it worth bothering with any more ? not sure I care to much . Watching for laughs really, Man U and Spurs etc 🤣

Likewise, good to try to look on the bright side, have a re-watch of some of the highlights so far this season, some cracking goals / good results, players seem like a decent unit just missing that killer instinct away from home
