We’re close, the main thing we need to cut out is conceding really poor goals. A top end CB alongside Thomas would do a world of good and if you can a LB thats li As things stand right now, our summer shopping list looks something like: 1) GK 2) LB 3) CB They’re the 3 positions you’d want to...

Their defensive work was impressive but not much going on attacking wise. My view is that he’s prioritising the defensive coaching of the team in preparation for the Prem. You’d take winning games as they do if it meant promotion.

I don’t think the coaching staff will look at it that way! He could’ve hacked it clear and was unaware of the runner. We all know Collins’ faults for the goal so I won’t labour on… One of them should and could have made a decision and neither player did. MVE could’ve also blocked off Anthony a...

Literally, Collin and Wilson are both amongst the worst goalkeepers in the league statistically.

From what Joe Edward’s said, I reckon Collins would stay in goal. Personally, I’m not really bothered either way because neither Wilson or Collins are good players. We need a new GK in the summer, that’s for sure.

I think Parker is doing a good job, they probably our top defensive but my impression is he is coaching them to play as they would in the Premiership. If Leeds get promoted, they’ll struggle playing as they do against Prem opposition. The same was true for Kompany’s Burnley, Martin’s...

I don’t begrudge teams who play act and time waste as much as Burnley. It’s the rules that need changing that enables such gamesmanship. Let’s see how often players lie on the floor after a tackle when it’s accepted that other teams can play on. Or, goal keepers taking the piss with goal kicks...

The referee stops the clock quite often in rugby whereas in football the time the game has stopped is just counted as added time. As we all know, the calculations can be arbitrary to say the least.

I’m sorry but Kitching definitely could’ve done better. He had no idea where Anthony was because if he did, Kitch doesn’t move out of the way and probably wallops the ball out. If we’re being hyper critical, MVE doesn’t block his man either - this buys an extra second or two for the GK/Kitch...

This is true and I’m not defending Collins here at all. Kitching certainly could have hoofed the ball away and he didn’t. Don’t get me wrong, Collins has to either stay in his box or be willing to hoof it straight away and did neither. It was hopeless goalkeeping… It’s also true that Kitching...

The writing was on the wall was there for Collins before Dovin’s injury. I’m perplexed Wilson has been offered a new contract if he’s presumably 3rd choice. Is he still injured? GK is going to be priority signing in the summer which is such a shame because Dovin is an excellent talent.

On the issue of time wasting, I do think there’s credence to the idea of having a 60 minute stop-clock. The amount of time the ball is in play is reducing and I’m sick of seeing shitty time wasting tactics. I also think we should play on whenever there’s an injury and physios can enter the...

Overall, we played well and imo were good value for a draw. Frankly, they didn’t really threaten us that much - they were ruthless when we presented them with two gifts for goals. I’m not sticking up for Collins when I’m pointing out that Kitching was also at fault. One of them should’ve dealt...

You’re right. It’s also true that if you’re unsure as a defender, you punt it out. Collins has been nominated as the scapegoat and whilst I think he’s not good enough, it doesn’t absolve Kitching from his part in the debacle. He look vulnerable in parts today.

They’re both equally culpable for the goal. Poor communication and indecision between the two and it was a similar story today as it was v Leeds. You can’t give away 2 poor goals and expect to come away with points. We were good value for a point or 3 before we went into kamikaze mode. The...

Have you got average league position in there too?

… Seems like there may have been a Freudian slip and projecting onto others.

Quite likely, tbf. The WTO has turned a blind eye to Chinese rules so it’s unlikely to do anything about Trump’s tariffs. It’s a niche policy that only a few economies can actually away with, India, China, USA and the EU in all likelihood.

Do you even know what MFN duty is? The data is there that USA has some of the lowest duty rates in the world. Thats is one of the bones of contention between the US and EU (specifically). https://www.wto.org/english/res_e/booksp_e/world_tariff_profiles22_e.pdf...

With spin like that, you should apply for a job at Labour HQ. No, the growth outlook was trending downwards before the US election was taking place. Reeves undermined confidence in the UK economy before the budget and after it, the employer NI raise has been criticised and coincided with job...
