    I wasn’t one to want McCallum bought in to replace Giles as I like him, but he hasn’t seemed on it today. That slip cannot be helped, but if he confidence is a bit shot for some reason that won’t help.

    Fucking hell. Ridiculous time for Giles to slip.

    Much better finish to the half. We aren’t as intimidated anymore and are actually looking to play football and players are wanting the ball. Bakayoko and Godden have been fairly quiet, let’s hope second half they can get more involved. I have been critical of Sheaf, but last 5/10 he stepped up...

    We look a completely different team - great passing and movement again. McFadzean has been a stand out for me so far.

    Great bit of football and we easily break through. All came from McFadzean interception - one of a few good tackles/interceptions he has made - he’s looked really good.

    Sheaf and Allen aren’t even offering on the rare occasions we do get the ball or Marosi looks to go short. Again, we should be looking to go direct, they are pressing a lot and Bakayoko/Godden/COH could cause issues and there is space behind. The issue is I’m not sure who has the vision to pick...

    It’s like we’re playing in slow motion, we look awful; no style or pattern to our play. And when we do get the ball we give it away. CM is a pivotal role and right now Sheaf is not good enough to play it on his own. I actually wouldn’t mind us going direct and missing the midfield out, we have...

    To be fair I’ve been present at the birth of both of mine - think I’d prefer to be playing football #ladsladslads* *only joking

    They look good but we are not helping ourselves at all, sloppy passing. We look intimidated again.

    iFollow - can’t link the iPad to the TV via Apple TV. Anyone else had/having that issue?

    Marosi Rose McFadzean Hyam Pask Sheaf Allen Giles O’Hare Bakayoko Godden Or Allen with COH and just Sheaf holding? Big Kelly fan but he’s frustratingly injury prone. It’s a big ask for Sheaf to go from third choice CM to suddenly holding it on his own. Dabo is a massive loss, Pask is good...

    Going to be another tough one today, but I maintain if we can play anywhere near our potential then we have a fighting chance against any team. The thought of Sheaf and Kelly in the middle isn’t the most influential or inspiring, but having Kelly back will add some experience and stability. Not...

    It went quite well - thanks for asking. Especially considering I hadn’t been training for a marathon. Officially my time was ~4:20ish, but I’m classing it as 4, as at mile 21 I hit an overflown river in the middle of a field, with absolutely no way round, so had to get the map out to plan a new...

    Virtual London Marathon tomorrow - starting at 9:30 at Memorial and planned my route to take in a few sites/places that mean something to me to help pass the time. I’ve also got a variety of people doing different sections with me, again to help get me through (hopefully!). Hit a snag today as...

    Quietly optimistic for tonight. In theory we have little chance, but if we can play our football I’d back us against most teams Be interesting to see if we use the follow the same tactic as a few games ago (intentional or not) where we sit back first half and come out and impose ourselves...

    Way out of the loop as our daughter finally arrived last week, so I’ve had the joy of sleepless nights and looking after our other one who has just started to walk..... So assuming no injuries I’d keep the team the same. I rate McCallum but don’t hold him in the same regret as some do on here...

    I know he’s the exciting new signing but I’d give Baka a go over Walker for the last 10. a fired up Baka could make the difference against their average and tired defence.
