If he plays Bazunu and Manning again he's a fucking idiot. Yes, AM and Wellington ain't much better but he's rewarding being shit otherwise.

I think we can pretty much confirm TE doesn't know what's he doing and just got lucky in those first games. I hoped that wouldn't prove the case but sadly we've reverted to how it was under Still. So pissed off with everything about the club.

It was obvious their temp manager had worked out how to beat our system and TE is too inexperienced to realise and make an adjustment to at least try and throw them off their plan. I think we're really in trouble now.

The players don't even look like they care. We have poor owners, inexperienced and easily outmanoeuvred managers and a lack of depth. It could change in January but it won't. This season will now drift into obscurity because nobody who makes the critical decisions will have any answers.

And because AA can't do that, and we have nobody up front who can play with their back to goal and lay it off to runners, we're reduced to someone playing a worldy defence splitting through ball everytime. And that ain't gonna work more then a couple of times a game if we're lucky.

That's why for me it should have been Downes off not Jander who supports the front line and is always looking for a forward pass. Also Robinson on not Archer as he's more physical. I think Tonder got the subs wrong today.

Problem with bringing Archer on us that it weakens us.

And if Fellows comes on, I'm betting he'll bin Wellington and leave Manning on.

Do we not have another effing penalty taker?

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.
