Deluded about what? They should be in the top 6 pretty much every season. Probably the best stadium in the league, they are underachieving big time. Nothing deluded about high expectations…

Soggy will soon change his tune when he sees the latest Oxo family.

Maybe it was Bree & The keeper. It wasn’t a criticism of Tonda, if he’s created an atmosphere where players dig each other out, that’s a positive. Lots of managers have managed through the senior pros. Better than all cuddling each other under Lego or Still.

Jumpers for goalposts, players played 6 times a week in my day, then trained on their day off. Just because players can play 3 times a week, doesn’t mean they should. It’s the same attitude as “my granddad smoked 20 a day and lived till he was 87”. Sports science has changed, & supporters mentality should as well. Elite athletes could play 3 times a week, but it’s been proved they shouldn’t. Whilst you can’t stop midweek games, you can monitor fitness levels and rest players when they’re at risk of injury. All employers owe their employees a duty of care, regardless whether it’s millionaire footballers or Doris the tea lady pushing her trolley round the CPS filing room at coffee break. Any manager who ignored the medical team wouldn’t last very long. Gone are the days when Shankley and the like would ignore injured players and gone are the days when players did what they were told even if it meant putting their health at risk. Medical teams can now overrule managers over concussion injuries (no more, tell him he’s Pele moments), they’ve hung up their magic sponges and their influence will grow and grow. When you add in agents needing players to stay fit & the moneyball model most teams engage in now, we will see more and more of it. The days of clubs flogging players to death, then fucking them off to limp through the rest of their lives are thankfully over.

Not only that, slagging a team mate off isn’t going to go down well with players, or even the owners.

They came out second half looking like someone got into them at half time. Who knows whether it was him or the senior pros, but either way, the players showed desire and determination to get back into the game. That’s something we’ve lacked the last few season and long may it continue. He’s now clearly here for the season and deservedly so…

Why? They’ve beaten us 4 of the last 6 games and before that stuck 9 past us, as well as winning in a semi final…

😂😂😂

Exactly. Had he picked Matsuki to start over Fellows everyone would have be moaning. He made one change that everybody wouldn’t have made, but more than made up for it second half. I had this I follow thing on my firstick with Blackmore commentary. He couldn’t work out why he took Bree off, urging him to take a central midfielder off (Downes I presume). Funny that with Bree gone, Charles shifted over slightly, and scored from where Bree probably would have been. He got it wrong leaving Stewart out, but he needs praise for the way he sent them out second half. First time for years, we haven’t rolled over after getting a chasing first half. Jack & THB lead from the front, brilliant performance second half…

That’s not the reason Jander put in one of the worst performances for years, that’s not the reason their wide men are terrorising the full backs or fellows gives a ridiculous back pass. That’s on the players, nobody else.

That’s disgraceful. Jander, one of the worst performances I’ve seen. Fellows & Azaz, too soft. Archer, just shite. Wellington & Bree getting a bit of a chasing, but to be fair to those 2 they’re up against decent players. Even Downs is struggling, but again, in fairness he’s not getting any help in there. Easy to blame Tonda, but he’s not the one being out battled, losing 50/50’s and giving the ball away.

Took the best ever penalty in a non league game…

Perhaps it’s not true…

Sarwar seems a bloke of integrity, calling for Sir Kier to go over appointing Petie.

We’ve got baying nods…
