Oh my. Totally unexpected. What a great feeling, 2 in 2. Calls for something strong tonight but with a bit of quality. I'm taking about beer by the way before you start making lewd comments!

100% agree sir, a great summary and you've nailed all the main points for me. I'd add that I'm still not sure about this overloading on the right wing tactic. Not having a great striker would be helped if we had more bodies in the middle.

For me this game showed that we do too much on the wings. We need players to be more central affecting the game and pulling oppo players inwards to give cover. We play wing backs so they need midfield cover when they bomb forward but they don't want wingers in front of them getting in their way. That just adds up to tippy tappy triangle play in the corner with the striker checking out his nail manicure waiting for the ball to arrive. Clearly I'm just an average joe from the crowd and not a badge carrying coach but that sounds sensible to me and was my observation yesterday. Trust the player on the ball and find your own space, stop crowding each other just in case shit happens. Creating an overload? Why? You come out with the ball at your feet ready to cross and there's no one there to take it. We don't have an Erling Haaland who can do it on his own, we need several players in there to make something happen. IMO. Anyhow, good 3 points, very welcome.

Landlord, a pint of your finest ale!

Unbelievable! But so welcome.

Unbelievable. The guys done nowt all game. Another new tactic, player doesn't go to the ball, you wait for the ball to come to a stationary player.

You've absolutely nailed it mate! We tried earlier with the corner onto the bar. Why didn't VI think of it before.

At least Ohashi gets into positions. Gudjohnsen!!? Why's he on the pitch. He's just out for a jog - AGAIN!!

Swamp?

We're all ready relegated, it just hasn't happened yet. Need more beer.

My question is why are organised to have all our players on the wings, no one in the middle no one filling the attack from the middle. If you win the ball on the wing there's no point as you've no targets in the middle to pass to. Second point is why am I even bothered enough to post this, I'm so disillusioned I really can't be arsed.

The more things progress the more I'm getting on board for the Tony Mowbray shout.

Nobody can be similar to Kean. All this started with him. He's the gold standard of horror appointments. I shudder just to mention his name.

What's clear to me is that the strategy has been to: a) clear the decks of 'trouble makers' and those who wouldn't sign new deals b) replace with younger unknown 'prospects' whose value could increase c) become a perpetual mid table club so as to sell on the bloodied and newly seasoned championship quality players for a profit d) sausage machine/rinse repeat e) get lucky once in a while to keep the natives happy and interested This gets reliance on the owners money down and we generate our own funds. They miss the whole idea of being a football club, my question is WHAT'S THE F'ING POINT!! Who wants to watch that and support a club like that. You're in the entertainment business - ENTERTAIN FFS!!! We've bought young, fit kids, some with real pace, but ZERO football skills, and I mean ZERO, nothing in their footballing senses, nothing in their footballing brains, nothing in their first touches, no idea how to use their bodies. When was the last time we saw a clean strike of the ball from a forward player? You know, just the basic skill of the game. Gestede and Pasha did this because they could, they like being in charge and everybody else can go hang. There's no other reason, ego tripping maniacs who get off on domination. The club has rotted from the inside outwards. I really think we're finished.

I said I was done with this lot during the transfer window, I said hell would freeze over before they got any more of my money. I hate to feel vindicated but that display warranted my decision. Abject. Nothing else to say except to agree with everyone else, Gestede is an absolute moron. Who couldn't have predicted what would happen when you sell the entire f'ing team
