I know he’s been instructed (or more likely given the freedom) to go roaming for the ball. His goal was taken well his misses were woeful. He’sa great striker but needs to stay in that forward line imo. That works well for him at spurs, but only because of son, who plays pretty much as a striker on the shoulder of the defence. England don't have anyone who plays like that (sterling could, but he doesn't) so it's not as effective. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Interestingly what has annoyed most Derby fans about the ban is a "boro player didn't get one" - I didn't watch the Derby game so not sure if there was a similar incident?

I think they're referring to the time that Jagielka ran into big Uche and bounced off with a busted face. The man is hewn from granite, I tells ya, but they're thinking it was an elbow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t want to see a club go to the wall. That’s someone’s football club. Get them relegated with a massive points deduction by all means, as long as their fans can watch them struggle at the bottom of League 1, then it’s all good 👍🏻 Link to post Share on other sites

I mean that is surely banking on someone else buying them like, surely they're equally as likely to suffer the same *** fate as Bury? Link to post Share on other sites

I agree. I don't want to see Derby go bust, i'd just like to see them stuck in League One for a few seasons, like Sunderland 2 Link to post Share on other sites

They started their first two seasons in League One like that too, to be fair. It might come crashing down again this time as well. We live in hope. Link to post Share on other sites
Weasel 965 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Yeah I think this could finally be the year Sunderland go up, that being said there's some crazy strong teams in League 1 at the moment. Sunderland, Sheffield Wed, Portsmouth, Wigan, Wycombe, Rotherham and Ipswich who have splashed the cash. Those automatic places will be really tight. Link to post Share on other sites

Thought the 1st half was absolute dross...I did actually fall asleep after half an hour or so. Woke up midway through the half time break. IIRC the commentators said there were no shots on target in the first 45. Maybe its effective "game management" but bloody hell it ain't entertaining, thats for sure. Just happy England looked a different team second half. Think at least 2 of our goals were down to dodgy keeping...but I'm not complaining. We showed intent and attacking flair and took most of our chances...though as has been pointed out we could have had 2 or 3 more. Even happier we thumped Hungary in front of their disgusting fans. Am I the only one that thinks its stupid that a country can be banned from having fans at games by one governing body, only to be allowed by another? This really needs to change, otherwise its like the rest of these stupid "sanctions" that have no effect whatsoever. Looking forward to seeing what our "second XI" can do against Andorra. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Ipswich need to really pick it up haha the rest of those teams I think have all started really well and there's Ipswich near the bottom. Link to post Share on other sites
