Clearly offside though.

No more than goes on at virtually every corner. Couldn't have complained if it was given but it's not some great injustice that it wasn't.

Or even Amo Ameyaw.

Why is Manning so narrow when we're defending?!

Let's say his dad is really ill and might die soon. What impact does that have? He's with the team and he's been dragged up to Boro to sit on the bench. If he's in such a terrible mental state that he can't possibly come off the bench then send him on compassionate leave. Otherwise, I'm sure he'd rather be on the pitch than sat there aimlessly. I'm sure we've all worked with colleagues with family troubles. You either need time off or you don't. If he doesn't, don't start using his personal situation, which Martin has no business at all disclosing publicly, as an excuse for your own inept management. It's bollocks. Basically, Martin doesn't know what to do with him.

The 9-0 could be under threat here. Such a bad season to get relegated last year. The three promoted sides this season are utter shite.

Someone should get Martin, his coaches, Charles and Downes to watch the video of the North Londom derby and just watch Bissouma's positioning. First class and exactly what we don't do well.

Bazza Bree - THB - Bednarek - KWP ----Charles - - Smallbone-- Stu--------Adams-----Edozie -----------Armstrong------- P.s. And when we want to sub a winger, put Amo Ameyaw on, who deserves not to be shunted below dossers like Sulemana and Aribo.

Looked lucky not to give a pelanty away there too. If matey had gone down, reckon ref would have blown. Better shape but if we have midfield cover we don't need Downes and Smallbone. Provided Charles and Downes are disciplined, we can get Alcaraz in there. Also, not sure why you would pick Holgate over Bree. Bree isn't amazing but he was regarded as a very good Championship full back, and our full backs are actually playing in full back roles today. Important 45 mins coming up!

Supposedly exciting stuff that just doesn't excite you

Doing it up the arse. Sure, there's a novelty value, but a fanny is better. -
Should have gone full Saville and fucked his dead mum to get it out of his system. But, yes, I agree with you. It seems to me that any sort of pathological behaviour usually derives from some sort of longing or loss that is deeper than the sensation of the experience itself.

It's not as though Man City have stayed the same though. Guardiola has changed things during his time there. The idea that we need to copy some sort of blueprint in the Championship is silly. Most Champ teams would love to have Adams, Stewart, Armstrong, Fraser, Alcaraz, Sulemana and Edozie. Most Champ teams would probably like to have Bednarek, Stephens, HTB and KWP. Apparently Manning and Bree are good full backs at this level. I expect most teams would like to have Charles too. We don't need to be clever. Just get a decent structure in defence and get the attacking players in a positive mindset. Job done.

He started Joe Aribo over Alacaraz FFS. Out.

Thanks for the effort you put into summing it up.

My car does about 8mpg. Lolz.

Beaches in Croatia are shite to hang about on. All pebbles. It is scenic, but not really comfortable. Croatia is lovely but if beach is your main motivation, then no. Having said that, was at Bol beach on the island of Brac and two young local girls, who were fit, got their tits out. But, yeah, in general, for beaches I would go to Maldives, Thailand, Mauritius or Lepe.

I used to be clinically fed up. I think a run through the north would tip me over though

I'll back Bucks and you back Berks. Come on the fuckin bucks!

Get off me you horrid nonce!!!! And leave my mum alone.

Ron? Derek? Trevor?

Sue Cook has pulled out!

I like what we do on the ball. Yesterday the line up was wrong. I'm confident that once all our forwards are available and settled and we have people in their correct position we will score plenty of goals. We have also added some height to the squad with Ross Stewart and THB. Again, once we set up with our best XI we should be OK at set pieces. Aside from individual errors, the big issue, which has been obvious in pretty much every match is the lack of midfield cover for the back 4. Simply, our midfield is too high as a unit. We absolutely need to calm it down and have someone goal side of the ball at all times. Being turned over and having all midfielders the wrong side of the ball really isn't acceptable (unless there's a couple of minutes left and we're chasing the game). We need Charles to sit deep. We need Downes or Smallbone to also play disciplined and then we can have Alcaraz or whoever charging beyond the forwards.
-
Bazunu is fucking shite. Also, why don't we have a deep lying midfielder?
-
Smallbone fit. Awesome.
