Its all well and good being pedantic but make sure your right... it was fulham not brighton as russ was still in charge then.

This window has been about housekeeping and I'm ok with that given our position, i want enough cash on the books so we can unleash the dragan and get the players of talent we need to both get promoted and keep us there.

i know you jest but most of those were sub appearances with little minutes left, he has scored a lot for their junior team in the 3rd div there so looks like he knows where the net is. Assume he's in PL21's to bascially get baselined v what we have intially playing there and decisions made from there. Saw he came from same academy as Gozteppe bought their fella from who is one of their best players at the moment (name escapes me)

I'm not sure you know how this forum works chez 🤣

Narcissistic injury - yellow card

Agree the point about Bree just sauntering round, would be interesting to know Ivan's view but on reflection since juric has come id say Bree has over performed v the expectations, he's now playing as a CB most matches and kept delap quieter than bednerak in the 2nd half when he started marking him. I feel he's plays at a consistent level each game which maybe not premier league level his consistency means juric knows what he is getting and can plan around him.

Yeah its the gasperini way, in that case then THB is more culapble losing the discipline for not following his man after losing the header as he just lets him go putting in benderak in enough of a quandary to give delap the gap he needs to get past. Dont think THB will be back in when he is fit, needs a break.

Apologies not saints related but just watched this day in the life of Thomas Frank, very interesting so thought i'd share and didnt know where to put it but assume out managers set up is similar.

Just watching the brief highlights and for their goal i assume (big assumption) the instruction to our CBs was to man mark their forward players. THB came out to compete with his man for a header (then doesnt follow) who is on the right touchline below. Bree was tracking his man whose in front of Aribo and plays the killer pass. Bednerak is then completely in no mans land cos THB is not recovering although i think he should of realised Wellington was getting back but even before this mess he should of been closer to delap given he's man marking. But in order blame i am saying THB > Bednerak > Bree

One stat that made me chuckle was when we just scored and were 1-0 up the TV flashed up the %chance to win the match according to the prediction stats they have and we were still like 22% to win and Ipswich still 49% even tho they were losing 🤣

I think people need to realise in this season of disappointment we need talismen to cling to every game to give us hope and belief we can win each game and potentially for the rest of the season that something miraculous could happen. No one is disputing if we had a blank cheque again that we would be buying these same players but in the shit sandwich of this season this is all we've got to eat.

Fred we won as well today, see miracles can happen. The great Sports Republic comeback is on. We gave all the other teams a headstart before we decide to play. Everyone else tries to win games through out the season but with rasmus our chief football strategist he realised it's better to be shit for half a season and then win more the rest of the season. Thinking outside the box 🤣

yeah am fully on the wellington express. I expect to hear he has a season endin injury on monday now knowing our luck
