I think I'm in the Tonda must go camp now. Hapless.

Gees.

I’d settle for a repeat of 76. No promotion but win the Cup.

That was dire. We are going to end up somewhere around 12th-14th. With the resources at our disposal, that is a complete, total and utter failure. Tbh, squeaking into the play-offs in 6th place on goal difference would be - on any sensible metric - a very poor season indeed. And we look very unlikely to get close to even making that.

Truly dire performance. Lamentable.

Couple of points. 1. Yes, the starting XI is way better than the finishing XI. But I don't mind this. When we have got in trouble in this division it's been when we've had about 45 squad players all of whom are a 6 out of 10. That's just dirge. This season we have some 8,9, 9.5 out of 10 players...and we replace them with 6 or 7/10 players. That's how it should be, really. 2. The substitutions today. Gees. Not the choices. But the timing. We had Fraser and Robinson ready to come on and standing there for what felt like an hour when we were 3-0 up. Suddenly it's 3-1. We might have wanted, say, Edwards now rather than Fraser. Same thing happened as 3-1 became 3-2 with Romeu and Aribo coming on after an age of standing there. Why the f**k does it take so long to make subs and do you have to proceed with the plan if the score changes in the meantime?

Deserved win. Brum weren’t at it in the first half. The fluidity of Leo, Azaz, Arma & Fellows in attack is something to behold. Downsides? 1. Never looked like keeping a clean sheet. 2. Aribo…Jesus F***ing Christ.

Very poor today. Deserved to lose.

Gone back to playing slowly rather than at speed. Badly missing Scienza.

Only 8 point spread from 2nd to 17th. This league is brilliant and nuts.

Hmmm.....close call 😁

I'm liking the concept of winning the game quickly and then just killing it off. You get a 10 minute warm up, then 30-40 minutes of exhilaration, followed by a half time pint and then 45 minutes of relaxation. Very pleasant way to spend an evening.

Excellent stuff. That blistering spell in the first half was beautiful to watch. Nerd/trivia question - have we ever scored 4 goals in as few as 8 minutes before?

I’m not confident that SR will make a good decision. I’m not even confident they’ll make a remotely sane decision.

Excellent player. Even more exciting to watch. Easily our best player at the moment. This might be that he’s our only player determined to get forward fast at every chance though!
