  1. I can't imagine you'd find many thinking either were utter saints either. One game isn't the making of anyone. Our home form is atrocious, mate. I've been done with this season for a while, not out of cynicism for the club but the task has always seemed to hard for me. And I think there is definitely lower lows this team can reach. But our home form is atrocious, after a dreadful game against Bristol, we somehow played even worse today. We've not been hard done by in either game, either. We've gotten exactly what we deserved. Wasn't even the remotest sense of controversy to this result to
  2. Not sure why they kept mentioning Leicester too. Like how can we beat them and not Plymouth. Two completely different games, two completely different opposition and Plymouth, despite having less quality than Leicester, are a team we need to attack to beat. But we were so bad in our passing and decision making today that some of our tamest efforts led to a turnover in possession, leading to a lot of chances for them rather than creating for us. They did the minimum they needed to today, Plymouth. Don't want to take anything away from them as they were the clear deserved winners in that gam
  3. Was gonna say the boos weren't as loud as I was expecting but then I remembered there's bugger all people in the stadium.
  4. Did anybody else feel the "Ughhhh" in the stands as that board went up? 😂
  5. It might as well be preseason for 24/25 at this point, so yeah.
  6. Thomas looks like he's never played on a football pitch before.
  7. He definitely creates a lot of chances.
  8. It's a soft foul from Latte Lath but at least now he's on the pitch, there's something happening around their defenders, he's giving them a striker to actually think about, someone who wants to get involved in the fight in that area of the pitch.
  9. He was the player often in the position receiving the ball on our left first half but his decision making was so often poor. He's gone right wing so obviously we want some genuine width now.
  10. O'Brien has been so mind-bogglingly poor today.
  11. From my POV, given how crap Silvera has been and how much Carrick sold McGree short first half, choosing McGree over SIlvera for that change seems ridiculous to me. Other than that, couldn't agree more.
  12. McGree coming off. Absolutely incredible.
  13. That, from this angle, looked like Silvera should reach it.
  14. Not wanting to give Carrick reason to continue with him but I think he's come to block a first-time shot and Hardie's just done him by taking a touch. Not the worst thing he's done today but I sincerely hope Carrick drops him for it.
  15. I would have been happy enough with him there if Silvera was up top, to be honest. Silvera has had so much of the ball down their left and cannot see the space he needs to run into when he gets it. Meanwhile, McGree is working as the furthest man forward so often. Silvera has so many more attributes than McGree to play further up, McGree has infinitely better quality to Silvera in midfield. But for some reason, Carrick has them playing in opposite positions. It's not rocket science style problems we're talking about here.
  16. I don't quite get why McGree is playing up front. Even if you accept Forss as the winger, why put McGree as the furthest man forward. Completely killing your best player. The first goal is just so *** bad. Simple 3 yard pass which O'Brien somehow cannot read even though it's right in front of him and their man runs and takes the weakest shot, Glover can see everything because nobody is trying to block the shot and he somehow still goes for the parry, the parry is crap and it's a simple finish. Passes to their player when he's in the worst position for a keeper too, just like against Brist
  17. Thomas isn't here to just play second fiddle either, mate. He's a young lad with supposedly a lot of potential. I suspect what's really going on is there actually isn't an awful lot between them in terms of outright quality and I think the two of them are different kinds players. I think from what I've seen that Thomas is a bit more energetic, he's a bit more lightweight but nippier in and around tight areas. We saw him get into the box a couple of times last time he played, I think, once from play on the edge of the box. With Engel, I think he's a bit more reserved, bit stronger but also
  18. Been out since Preston 10 days ago mate. Not sure what the issue is but we never seem to find out what it is with Fry. The man is the current form of Ayala, who would disappear from sight at a moment's notice with a random injury in the new year.
  19. I think our left-backs have swapped round quite a bit this season too so not sure it's particularly indicative of anything at this stage.
  20. Glover Ayling McNair VDB Thomas Barlaser O'Brien Forss McGree Azaz Silvera That's how I'd expect it to go. Probably prefer Azaz in the middle but I think him and McGree were the other way around last time out.
  21. The money donated would only get passed onto the fan anyway. 😶
  22. Always felt he was more suited to play RCB as at least he adds some pace to the backline. But he still had some sorry moments there too.
  23. I'll get my kit and boots ready and get warmed up for tomorrow then because I reckon it's quite a low barrier for entry!
