Isn’t the boob whisperer a Manc? Maybe he could put his money where his mouth is and stand in his home city….

Fucking hell, we’ve got some fannies supporting us. The ref was excellent, nothing wrong with a few robust tackles and a bit of needle. It’s a man’s game for gods sake. Wish more referees were like it, players might stop rolling around like big girls, if there were.

Leeds battering Everton, should be at least 2 up. Our “effort” last season is looking more and more pathetic every week. Lego headed cock thinking we could out football sides….

Exactly this. Calling Reform UK the Tory party MK2 is just wrong. The soaking wet Cameron wing of the party is still there. The more right leaning defections, the more the remaining Tory party will resemble the one all the people who will never vote for it, think it should be. Let’s hope there’s more, then Rory Stewart, Grieve, Gauke etc can “ get their party back”. The electorate will then have their say, and they’ll get a shellacking which will make July 24 look like a great result.

There’s a decision to be made regarding Bree now. Do we sell him to Charlton for peanuts or keep him & lose him for fuck all in the summer. Personally, I’d offer him a new deal, I doubt he’s on much money & he’s a good championship squad option. But I can’t see us offering one, or him even wanting to sign one.

Perhaps we could get his wife instead

He did have fellows & Scienza on together, but one got injured. Unless you’d have left an injured player on, you would have to have made that change. So you couldn’t “spread out” those 2 substitution windows. When would you have brought Charles on then, he was our most effective sub, would you have brought him on with Fellows, before him, or after?

So what different changes would you have made?

There’s a lot of deserved criticism come Tonda’s way lately, but I agree, some of it is unfair today. Bringing Bree in was a good decision, and everybody was calling out for a back 4. As you say the subs made sense once Leo got injured, annd Charles was excellent when he came on. Had he left AA on with Ross staying on the bench, then they’d have been loads of complaints. The only contentious decision was Fellowes being left out, but nothing he did when he came on made that look a particularly horrendous decision.

On the ale already?

I’m struggling to think of one clear cut chance they made, or even a mildly difficult save our keeper had to make. Anyone who watches that game and thinks they created better chances than us, is clearly clueless…

They were only going to score from a set piece, they really didn’t look like breaking us down from open play. On the other hand we created 3 clear cut chances and but only took 1. Azaz & Leo struggled to impose themselves, but Azaz should have had 2 assists & Leo showed the one bit of quality needed. Bree was good, the keeper looks more dominant than Baz, Charles looked class for his short cameo, but the other subs couldn’t really get involved. Of course they’re bang average, but their home form is what will keep them up and there was no way they weren’t going to give it a go. I certainly would have taken this point after the Hull debacle. Remember we had a different class of player the last league meeting and couldn’t get over the line. It’s a tough fixture…. A few like THB & Downes need to be honest with themselves, do they put that much effort in week in & week out, because that level of commitment is what we need every fucking game. Overall, I’m just pleased to have not lost in both games whilst we’re having such a shit season, because with this bunch it could have been a lot lot worse.

If AA did his job we’d be leading, two best opportunities of the game and he needs to bury one of them. We’re matching them physically, which was a concern prior to the game, the keeper & Bree excellent additions & the two centre halves are defending pretty well. Hopefully our quality off the bench will win it for us.
