We need to get the ball down, up the tempo and play football. They look vulnerable when we do.

Always resist saying it as it sounds like sore loser, but this ref is abysmal. As are his assistants. They are around the ref after every decision and it’s working.

THEY'RE CLEARLY TOP OF THE LEAGUE FOR A REASON. Such arrogance to think we’d come back into it. Note the negativity is mainly from those who aren’t here.

Fine, but what about the team you’re watching tonight? They are top of the league and like that. Agree we need to get into the game. We haven’t started yet. I stand by them being a poor footballing side. They are incredibly direct and one dimensional - can you recall them putting a move...

See my response to Grendel.

Our front two are very ineffective thus far. We still look intimidated. Again though if we can get it down, they definitely have vulnerabilities.

Is it? They’re an effective unit, doesn’t mean they’re a great footballing team. Numerous examples of this over the years. Any thoughts on the game?

But shit at football! Their 19 is their only decent footballer.

Pitch is a very fast and that doesn’t impact them as they are very route one. We’ve probably had 2/3 spells of passing the ball ans they can’t cope. We need to stop being scared, get the ball down and use the space they leave. They’ve had a positive start, but once we grow in confidence I...

Hate to say it but we do look intimidated.

It’s clear they absolutely rely on long ball and set pieces. Don’t think there’s much mobility there though. Play football and I think we play through them. They are very much an aggressive pressing team, which while dangerous, means it only takes a good bit of play to get through them.

Ball skidding everywhere already. Conditions are awful. They are potentially the biggest team I’ve seen all season. They don’t look technically great though.

SISU out! In all seriousness, that’s not good.

Two up front = statement of intent from MR. Plus it’s extra height in our team. Still a strong bench that can change the game too. Positive stuff.

Surely we are also on a ‘head of steam’?

Not this seasons team. It’s absolutely on, tonight is just another game en route to the championship.

Great Expectations?

It was a real novelty getting here earlier than usual and starting the game day experience, including a nice early ale. The weather however was not, it’s awful here. We got caught in a hailstorm from the station to the pub, and a load of rain between pubs too. The ground is also full of puddles...
