His entire career.

Insult to Fox.

I'm interested in 'rarely'. As in which alternative universe and on which one occurrence?

But in fairness, he does have a shit defence ahead of him. Otherwise he'd probably ... nah, still be shit but we might have a few more points. If Cap'n Jack made fish fingers, they'd be cheese straws.

Wrong? Because THB can't see a pass and the only time he tried the one that went through the lines there was no-one moving to it, but that ball is on a lot. Wrong because we just played 'pass it by numbers' rather than do something intelligent with it. Coventry defended well and pretty much kept Fellows out of it. Azaz wasn't up to much (as expected against the better teams) and it was more boring side to side passing far too often.

We really need to move Downs and Manning on. I don't care if it's to a 'rival'; they ain't that good.

Who is this player and why don't we play him?

I'd tell you but I stopped watching international football years ago.

But it's also Leo's number. Maybe he'll score 13 in a 15-all draw?

At those prices, I wonder who can afford them? £100k upwards? Or young, single and stupidly minted.

Two interesting things yesterday. One he scuffed a hoofed clearance so isn't always great. Two a couple of times he just did the sensible "Get rid of the bloody thing" as did a couple of others. Seems someone's letting the players just make decisions as they see fit at the time. jjj

True. I am incredibly surprised now how it is Still ever managed to 'manage' a football team, frankly.

From where I was, I agree no-one was saving Gray's shot. Might change my mind once I see it on the telly, however. Brum were like most teams (didn't see Millwall) in this league: functional and organised. You can see why the league is so tight: most teams seem much of a muchness.

I think the quite audible and more than once sung "Sack the board" did have some effect. First time I can recollect they actually got put in the firing line.

The Rasmus Effect. "Come and be broken".

I'm not complaining.

That third goal was park standard. The Millwall player is just trying to scoop it over back into the danger area/keep it in play/do something with it. It's not hard, accurate or anything and should have been a case of just picking it up or someone hoofing it clear (that non-defending left back we have springs to mind). The worldy should have been cut out in midfield but again you see the not-a-goalkeeper just standing there, set, waiting to launch off (as he always does) and he doesn't do it well. I think a goalie could save the first; might push it back into the danger area and they net the rebound but I don't think it's one that is a certain goal from that perspective.

Strikes me as tidy, but not world-breaking. Don't dislike him, but can't see what all the fuss is about yet. Not OR's standard. Again, while he can make up for some of his lack of physical presence and does so, I wonder how he'd fare in the division above with its brutal beasts.

I don't like him.

My difficulty with this is that when I listen to most fans at the ground they struggle to put three words together, repeat hackneyed phrases, think Stephens is good, or could be as he has potential, etc. That's far too lucid for a fan. Almost AI assisted, I'd say. So you moved from Glasgow to Nigeria (or was it Kenya, can't remember) and now you're ... where? As for the good patterns of play, yep Wednesday had several of them.

I like his effort but I really can't see why we offered him a contract with a view to being an EPL club. He just won't cut it up there.

Yep. Joined in with that one.

Best player was Bannan and some of Wednesday's one touch stuff was good. We were much as we've always been apart from we moved it quicker, played with more energy, the game was more open and chaotic partly because it was faster-moving but I wouldn't say we would have more points if Eckhart had been in charge for longer; we just might have troubled teams more. Seemed like they'd tried to hit Downs earlier and use him more to get him on the ball and I think I saw enough to consider he won't ever be PL level and as that's where we want to be, that's the yard-stick. Don't know why Azaz headed the ball miles wide when the goal was the other way and still not impressed by him. Happy for the points, like the fact that we're trying to play through the lines rather than round the sides, might make the play-offs but don't see us a particularly good team. Manning is still shit. No idea who the new kid was and saw nothing from him to make any impression but would be interested to learn where he came from (out of nowhere), etc.

GON should be GONE. Another pass it around the back aimlessly merchant. No thanks, if it's to be him.

As it hasn't been fully broken, keep going until it's 'null points'. Then it's broken.
