He was good today, still showing the same flaws, but he certainly has luck on his side - the misplaced pass, the two fumbles from straightforward saves and once again, the oppo commentators picked him out as a weakness - I think a lot of credit needs to go to the back 4 (manning aside) for the way they have tightened us up. I'm just hoping he stays lucky through the cup finals.

I'm going to say it early, we need to take manning off. His positioning is horrific, its already clear he is on an off day.

I'm not sure that "not as bad as Hitler" is the flex people think it is.

Millwall have a better shout.

To be fair, he held onto a shot just now, that's his first since joining. Also, he's only spilled one and only messed up one clearance, so that is improvement too.

Not really, he got away with another clanger today. To be fair, he did protect his near post, first time since joining, but otherwise didn't have much to do. he is still erratic, and still targeted by opposition as a weakness. If the ref had done his job he'd be getting grief on here (or baz would have, peretz has a lot of leeway on here, same as ramsdale and even tailspin mccarthy did, for some reason...

Those 3 points that bazunu got us on day 1 could prove to be more important than we ever realised... Key to the city if we get promoted?

The ball is in play for about an hour, so 2 x 30 mins would work better. Otherwise games will take 4hrs to finish. We could also let the teams change players when the ball is out of play, show ads, let players pick up and throw the ball, and focus on yardage and play phases.

Well this is boring. Archer still managing to look terrible.

Nah, didn't register - too obviously false.

Yeah she got that wrong, she seems the type who should advocate for intersectionality and so be a bit more educated about disability. Is she the same woman who used to appear on itv with piers wankstain Morgan? If so, she is looking thinner and younger than before.

Meh, Rosie Jones brought out a documentary called "am I a retard" recently, and the uproar wasn't off the scale at all. A lot of the pearl clutching outrage is just the mail trying to get people outraged and clutching their pearls.

Would that film not just be lots of visits to the bank and signing different documents, followed by some suited and booted types making some solid decisions? Not sure it would be a good movie. It's not like cool runnings is it.

Keep the phobias to the lounge, please. I do watch the opposition streams usually, and the last 2 or 3 have all identified peretz as a weakness, and the Leicester commentators blamed him for all 3 goals too. Looks good today though, only one heart in mouth moment so far, but looks like Charlton haven't come to play so should be ok. Usually my stance on players is similar to most on here, manning is awful etc. I guess because my position was always GK I'm more aware of GK choices and peretz doesn't make good ones in terms of positioning and angles, and his distribution is a tenth of what we had previously. Long is not spectacular, but has stronger positioning, I think they are probably equal in quality. Baz with a back 4 would be superior to both, shame he had to sit behind 3 and so ended up rooted a lot of the time.

Peretz had a nightmare and gifted the opposition a 3 goal lead. We will never get away with that again, so hopefully we see an improvement in his decision making today.
