  1. He's been a huge miss this year. Top class player at this level.
  2. Haha tell me about it. Had the game on my phone, low volume, paying half attention. Didn't take long for it to be on the TV, biting my nails and kicking every ball 😅
  3. As if we've beaten Leicester twice 😂 Makes the recent losses to average teams more frustrating. But well done to the lads that played today, a performance to be proud of 💪🏼
  4. Early goal and our heads will (understandably) drop. I think tomorrow will be rock bottom, then we'll start to pick up and have a better end of the season with Lath and Jones back.
  5. Haha of course. But I reserve the right to turn it off if we're more than two down by half time.
  6. Very bored of this season now. Not sure I'll bother watching us get hammered by Leicester.
  7. Must be right down the bottom of the form table if we lose this? Nice easy one next - Leicester away.
  8. Because we concede a minimum of one (often two) soft goals per game. Makes it hard to win when you need three goals most weeks.
  9. If only the EFL started giving points for 'putting the pressure on' while losing.
  10. Our off the ball intensity. We have too many players who are passengers out of position and only come alive when we are attacking. How many times do we concede long shots and goals from runs through the centre because nobody puts their body on the line or takes a yellow card. There's no desire to stop attacks and win the ball back. So many sloppy, individual errors. Lack of warriors and leaders who want clean sheets as much as strikers want goals. Howson a prime example there. If an under 12 player dangled their foot like that on the edge of the area they'd get a bollocking. Pathet
  11. I've said it for ages but he is rarely far from the scene of the crime. Not saying he doesn't have his qualities because he clearly does... But easily the softest touch in a team full of them.
  12. Howson with his trademark pussyfoot challenge
  13. Is Dieng not fit? Or is Glover first choice until he loses it now?
  14. Could do with a result tonight, otherwise this season will start to take a very early slide towards mid-table obscurity. Don't get me wrong, I didn't expect us to get play offs. But thought we'd be lingering towards the end with a mathematical possibility at least. I've gone for Clarke as think his left footed passes could get Engel on his bike a bit quicker. Greenwood up top as he doesn't do enough in midfield. Would rather Forss as striker but he works hard on the right at least and there's nobody else. Dieng Ayling - RVB - Clarke - Engel Hackne
  15. Seconded - add another authentication factor to log in. There should be an option to add '2FA' or 'MFA' in your email settings. Slight pain but worth it, as even if they managed to compromise your password, they'd have real trouble with the second step (an SMS text code to your phone, or a time-sensitive code generated by the Microsoft authenticator app). Not sure how to slow down the attempts, it's probably a bot making repeated attempts. You could turn the notifications off as having 2FA should be enough to know they won't get in, but I'd rather know personally. Might also be wort
  16. It's hard to compare. Gibson and Ayala were far better protected by the midfield than any of our current centre backs ever will be.
  17. I don't think it's down to personel in defence either. The biggest issue is we're powder puff in central midfield - players waltz through our centre time and time again. It's not that our players don't care or try, I just feel they're far more interested in attacking than defending. A lot of our players are passengers out of possession then come alive when we're on the front foot. We were bad at defending and conceded weak goals last year too, our goals conceded was really bad for a side in 4th. The difference is we don't smash 3 or 4 goals in at the other end anymore.
  18. I've had that attitude to this season since pretty much the beginning tbh. I gave us <5% chance of promotion after our Summer transfer window, early performances, injuries, and seeing the strength of other sides. Likewise never felt for a minute we'd go down, even when results were awful. Not been getting too carried away when we win or too down when we lose. Just each game as it comes with the expectation that we could be pretty good or total dog dirt - been quite nice and stress free! Having said that, I'm hoping next season will be another exciting one where every point matter
  19. Feel like I've seen this exact game so many times before in the last few years. Go two or three goals down in the first half, usually quick fire to poor defending. Come out better in the second but miss chances and ultimately huff and puff to a defeat.
  20. Azaz has a great touch. He'll come good in that number ten spot with a proper striker ahead of him.
