  1. Tom Fellows reporting to the shooting range takes on a darker tone. 🙂
  2. I heard that about the likes of Seville. But to still give them jobs and contracts? There must be a way of politely declining to hire a presenter, without letting them know what you think of them. "We're moving the format in a new direction, you rapist scumbag." Hmmm, it is tougher than I thought. Definite urge to hold them to account.
  3. Tsk. The forum lets in any riff raff these days. 😃
  4. I might not have been listening closely to the bit I bothered with (because, eeeeewwwww) but there was a moment I thought they were at least within earshot of each other. For extra creepiness.
  5. Thanks for adding what I should have."eventually" wasn't as good as pointing out that he adapted to the new role. He wasn't out of place doing it. We just had to wait longer for some crosses, as he had to run further up the park. 🙂
  6. I thought he started fine with us. He could be a player and get crosses in. Like you say, not with much to aim at. I thought his finishing could get better. He would take on a shot and I thought he'd done okay in that department in previous clubs. He got moved into a wing back role, and his form eventually dipped in a poor side under Still. It's never returned from that. With Larin, I thought he'd be a good fit. But we don't really play that way, and Matsuki has proven to be more useful to how Tonda does want us to set up. There's nothing to stop Tonda having a fall back system, where we do need a physical presence in the box and wide players to cross into that. It would have been handy to break down Preston.
  7. I've not followed the trial in depth. But I was curious, with low conviction rates, what questions the jury were asked to decide upon for the verdicts. With historical allegations, there's little to no forensic evidence. From the questions, you can see what the defence would call "public trawling" for more incidents is important. The various victim testimony builds up a pattern of actions and behaviour. The reinforcement of predatory behaviour; the personality shift moving consensual encounters into rape. All supported by a wide selection of witnesses who can confirm that behaviour. This is for a well known figure. Looking at the questions it's a reminder of how difficult it can be, if there's not a number of victims, and not a lot of people who can talk about the behaviour, and incidents, to secure a conviction. https://www.the-independent.com/news/uk/crime/russell-brand-trial-close-jury-wife-b3076395.html
  8. Surely, if we want a mobile right back, who can play wing back, has over 100 top division appearances and is an available, full international... We just get Sugawara back from loan.
  9. Easily fixed...

  11. Things he did well: His presence changed Preston's defensive approach.. More than it changed our attacking one. They thought we'd brought on a target man. We continued to break ourselves against two banks of defenders. Whether that was long range shots they were happy to block, or us failing to pass through them. Mubama gave us a little more room, as Preston were having to watch him, as he was often the only player of our in the box. That led to a couple of Azaz efforts nearly having him on the end of them. That he wasn't, looked to be down to his sharpness and awareness as a finisher. He took up the standard positions in the box. While we should have looked to use that a lot more, he also has to be aware he's not going to get many chances. And those could be from rebounds. He has to be right on it, for the ones he gets. And yesterday, he wasn't. Whataboutery says:Neither were anyone else.
