Two of my favourites were Yellowstone & Clarksons farm and we’ve had a new series & spin offs this summer. Clarksons farm, not quite as good as other series”. They haven’t jumped the shark yet, but it’s getting closer. The Kaleb is a bit of a thick bumpkin is wearing a bit thin, and there’s not enough of Gerald. More of his Mrs, which is welcome, but it’s still not quite as good as previously. Dutton Ranch is great though, certainly better than the ridiculous woke Marshals. RIP is such a great character and you can never have enough Kelly Reilly. Young bird and even a Gilf, cowboy punch ups, and decent story line. Very enjoyable….

Surely lego is drinking in the last chance Vegan juice bar as far as his career is concerned. Maybe should have retired after the play off final, what’s his win % since then?

That was painful, but I’m hoping it’ll kick start a run like QPR game did last season. Both full backs nowhere near the level they were the second half of last season. Wood is ok when battling with a forward, but his distribution & touch when he’s got time on the ball is horrendous at the moment. Luckily Downes was excellent because Matski was poor in there. Leo, probably the worst performance I can recall him putting in. TF tried hard, but it’s still not clicking. Larin 2 in 2, looks bang on it and good finish from the young lad (and great to see him celebrating). Thought the penalty a bit harsh, but haven’t seen the reply. I don’t think he gives that at 1-1. I wouldn’t say we were lucky, but couldn’t have too many complaints had it ended up 1-1.

😂😂😂

Get hold of the ball, stop giving it away, have a shot, take someone on. He’s been woeful so far….

I don’t think “again” is appropriate. One thing that’s impressed with him so far is his sensible and predictable line ups. He tends to pick players in their best positions, and pick sides that aren’t that controversial. Of course, you could argue with the odd pick, Stephen’s/Wood or Fellowes/ Matski but overall he’s picked round pegs in round holes. Even the 11 on Sat was pretty much on the mark. It’s not like he’s played centre halves in CM or false 9’s like some other clowns. That’s probably why it was such a surprise that he played Leo as he did, and then didn’t switch it earlier

From what I’ve seen the past 2 games it’s pretty clear, substitute.

Two horrendous goals to give away. An horrendous miss & an horrendous pass which should have led to a great chance. That, together with some poor crossing & a passive first half cost us. You’re going to have 4 or 5 performances like that every season, but we’ve only got room for 2 or 3 this season and we’ve used up one already. Probably the first time Tonda tactics can be questioned since Bree returned & he could revert to a 4. His tactics contributed to that poor first half imo. The spygate stuff obscured the fact we were dreadful most of the away leg in the semi & were pretty average against Bristol City & Ipswich, even the home leg of the semi was level at 90 mins. Last week & this week were also disappointing performances,so whilst it’s premature and way too early to start worrying, decent emphatic performances seem quite a few games ago. I’m not saying sides have worked Tonda out, but we were flying when we were balls out, shit or bust, win every game, once there became a bit nuance around results we weren’t so good. I like the mix of long ball & possession, but there’s been too much possession, particularly sideways and back, for my liking. Some poor performances today, Stephens, Bragg, Dobbin. Matski also average, and I’d look at the keeper. We’re not judging him against Baz anymore, but Ramsdale who is available. Could he have done better, maybe, particularly the first one when he looked like he may have borrowed Baz’s gloves. Perhaps too harsh, but he was quite magnificent last season & personally I think he may have saved that in April. Downes good, THB was, until his horrible miss. Azaz different class in his short cameo , but Leo flattered to deceive again. Unlike others, I thought the lad who came on looked ok, not great, but not as bad as some have posted. I thought he looked lively and had decent movement.

Perhaps because they’re different players.

They’re getting acres in midfield, Bragg has been woeful in there, doing an invisible man impression. I’m all for flexibility, but playing Leo differently clearly hasn’t worked & Dobbin has been bang average in Leo’s proper position. Should have switched it over after 20 mins. Matski hasn’t been much better. Terrible defensively & too passive and safe in possession. Next goal is the winner imo, if we get it early I fancy a 3-2, but if we continue in 2nd gear we’ll get beat 3-1

Well said. I worked there for a few years in the 80’s and it was bastard hot & humid in July….

Load of old pony

Yeah, the top 2 in the FIFA rankings, nobody would predict that, must have inside knowledge. I reckon the Premier league was fixed last season as well, loads predicted Arsenal & Man C would finish as the top 2, low and behold, that’s what happened…

WTF has that got to do with The World Cup. 🤡🤡

We’ve defo got the easiest draw, Spain & France look the best sides in the competition imo, Argentina aren’t at that level. Probably sacrilege, but 39 year old Messi doesn’t get in that French team, I’m not even sure he’d get in ours if Saka was reproducing his Arsenal form. They’re going to run out of road eventually, they’ve had a pretty easy knock out draw, and have made a right meal of getting through. TT’s substitutions have been superb the last 2 games. Djed Spence who loads didn’t want to see in an English shirt again, has been excellent off the bench, and Dan Burn the ultimate cult hero. Rice a concern as he has been off pretty much all competition & the right wide position defo a problem, we need Saka to stand up and be counted as Gordon has the other side.
