I'm out from behind the sofa now. Isn't this second half exactly why we've brought Romeu back? Hopefully once he's fully fit we can get him on to help the team better manage these types of games where momentum swings. Still, we held on and it's so much better than it was if not perfect defensively.

I know we all want to forget last season but really?

Horrible place to go to but I think we'll just edge a tight game 2-1. Nice feeling right now, let's keep it going.

I remember you from years ago. You used to produce the most interminably dull posts with little insight.. I was just holding some vain hope that you might have finally added something intelligent to this forum. But niet.

Yup, seen all of that when my lad was playing age group. I love the description of the kid running towards the corner flag 🤣 I coached for just one year and gave up because parents would complain if their kid got 2 less minutes on the pitch than everyone else. Wasn't worth the hassle. My son was ok but not stand out at football - ended up a very good cricket player because physical size has little to do with ability in that particular sport.

100%. The kids that were big for their age used to get all the plaudits and the scouts looking at them because they could barge their way through and score easy goals. Yet there would be a couple of smaller players on the pitch with amazing technique and vision but we're largely ignored. Never understood it.

I wondered why THB was involved then realised my dyslexia has kicked in again.

David Speedie. Cunt.

They will only do it once 🤣

Doesn't seem to matter what stage of the game we concede, we lose all self belief. Getting Romeu on the pitch can't come soon enough .

Remember the days when you always left a striker on their final defender. It would have forced them to leave one more defender back (Despite the forward being Downs). As it was, their one defender just collected with no pressure and simply recycled.

Fair play, the defence threw their bodies on the line. Baz a contradiction as always. One good save and then two howlers, one that didn't cost us. We just don't have a decent GK. Can we recall Ramsdale in January?

In the space of a minute, AA fails to hold the ball up and Manning and Robinson miss simple passes. Still wasn't great as a manager but christ we can't do the very basics.

Fucking quality, I just pissed myself laughing - as opposed to our squad who will be pissing themselves in fear.

Yes, yes and fucking yes. He'll tear a few of them a new one. Expect pants being shat all over the training ground.
