It’s
All of that. Number 5 is the real focus for me Not because of the other 4 reasons but because players need to regain strength/match fitness. We also don’t know what Lampard wants him to do either. He’d take any player off if they look like they need a rest.
I would argue back that you suggested we didn't have options. We do. But I'm reluctant to press it further for fear of you decreeing a fatwa on me.
(will change one we lose one)
Needs a wow and a laugh emoji
Yeh I'd bring Eccles in. I don't think I'd be starting BTA in the 10 for this one tbh. Be tempted to have Sakamoto on the bench to start with.I think every match here on out I’m expecting to lose as I’ve followed us long enough and our start is mental
Same team as against blackburn? Only change being Josh Eccles hopefully fit enough to start on the bench
I feel like Saturday’s ref did have a bad game with us last season but is generally good. Gavin Ward however has shit games with us and is generally garbage.
Don’t see why they wouldn’t be, we have to lose eventually (though would be nice if we never did again) and they’ve taken 4 points from Boro and Lesta.
Yes they should be but we should be even more confident as we are in even better form and have a much better team.
I'll be honest I tend to forget about most of them until their faces come up and I'm like, "fucking hell not that clown." That's probably most of the refs in this league on reflection, I do remember getting really wound up be Allison, Ward and Madley though.
His credit in the bank for the Bayliss & Godden pens is running low.
He didn't put 2 good crosses in for the goals though.
It's a tough call whether your knowledge is weaker on football, politics or being a decent human being.
You have to give him credit for the ability to attack the full back he’s so direct
Good player
Yes, saw the huddle and quick team talk following the goals in the City Unseen video. Good for them to find moments to communicate and stay on the same page.
I swear to god if we get promoted in this abomination of a kit then King must resign
In most cases crosses are not directly targeted for an attacking player, but are put into a danger area where you can feed off a poor clearance if one of your players doesn’t get to it.
They were good crosses that put the opposition under pressure...and led directly to goals
Wingers by the nature of the job are always taking knocks just because they beat their man so often. With a big strong lad the extra weight (over a smaller fella) can be a burden too. He's probably always feeling something or other, however, I think though he needs more awareness of what's going on in the box. The ball is always at his feet and he's concentrating hard on his skills maybe he just needs to give himself a yard and enough time to look up. MVE does this well.
It would be interesting to see some heat maps. I feel Grimes often covers the left as it's a weakness for us.
I think they are thinking about last year when that game started badly and got worse - we score the first goal and our tails are up ! And then there’s the glow factor
Found Grimes’. You’re right, lots in the central and defensive area with a bit on the left. Generally dominates the opposition
There’s no evidence of that whatsoever. Considering NB was gobbing off and waving his arms at his teammates despite doing nothing himself suggests they probably don’t miss him much.
