Horrific Sounds nasty, I'm not a sun worshiper so hoping my position at the back of the Kingsland will be one of the better places to be. I guess there's no reason why the game can't go-ahead fine with suitable measures in place for fans and players. Hopefully the club are on the ball.

The temp might not change much but angle of the sun does, most of the ground would be in the shade, but I agree not worth changing this close to the game.

Don't worry about them? It's not like it's 40 degrees. Whack on some sun lotion, wear a hat and bring some water or whatever. Also, surely pissheads are more likely to pass out due to hydration brought on by excessive alcohol consumption? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 11 August, 2022 Share Posted 11 August, 2022 Gawd help Ralph if we're losing at half time, they'll hear the boos from space. It would be a huge morale booster to get an early goal or two. With Leeds players still settling in this is a good time to play them but they've already won which isn't good. We could already be six points behind our relegation rivals after two games so we definitely need something from this game. I still think 1-1 but it depends on the line up I guess.

I think that depends on the manner in which we are losing, we know this season is going to be a struggle, but weird team selections, chaotic play and a lack of effort could definitely get a negative reaction (see Spurs last week fr reference).

The Cat Posted 11 August, 2022 Share Posted 11 August, 2022 Going to be fun in the stands if there's loads of Leeds in the home ends and we go a couple down. Quite looking forward to it. I like a game with a bit of edge. Also excited to see if the nipper who sat behind us last season is going to be back to hurl abuse at the ref regardless of whether he's got the decision wrong or not. It was getting to the point last season when even this kid's own family were getting annoyed with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunny didn't really make lots of mistakes - his problem was that he was simply too easy to score past. He never saved anything; like having a hologram in goal. Bazunu couldn't do much about Sessegnon's point blank header or Salisu's donkey defending, but Dier's header wasn't in the corner and he got nowhere near it. No spring in his dive, just flopped to the floor. And Kulusevski's side footed finish wasn't in the corner either. Again Bazunu's dive didn't get within a yard of it. He's not the tallest keeper, and if he hasn't got the spring to cover the ground, I think he's going to have problems. It's only one game, of course, but he looked very easy to score against - the saves he did make were straight at him - and gave me a few Gunny flashbacks. from the highlight, the goal looked massive with him in it. Did he come for any crosses? How did he do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
