I'm done with Wright. Fucking useless.

I know I'm whinging a lot, but why won't we break when we get the chance. So bloody obsessed with coming back inside. We've got some pace on there, we just never use it.

Fair point, but he could teach everyone else in the squad an awful lot about attitude and commitment.

This. 100% this. I don't know if it's instinct, or if it's coached, but to work so hard to get down the flanks and then come back inside every time is just immensely frustrating. At least mix it up a bit and make the full back work for a living.

In fairness, Wright is doing the work of two men. Laurel and Hardy. Joking aside, it isn't working for him, and hasn't for a while. He just can't seem to get into games, it looks like he's got no energy for the channels, and no fight for the battles. Such a good player when he's on it, so...

What is the fucking point of standing offside at free kicks? It's bizarre.

We've had four days to get a plan B. FL clearly doesn't have one.

Are you heading up there mate, to the land of the White Walkers? If so, hope you and everyone else going has a good one. Remember to wave for the telly. 😁

It's the BBC mate, so it'll be RP. I think they picked it up off the late Queen, it was one of her favourite phrases.

In truth mate, I'm not quite as confident as you, either in our ability to break them down if we play the same way, or that we won't concede again on the counter. But I sincerely hope you're right and I'm wrong, that would make all of us very happy. 🙂

Nothing I'd argue with here, except that to me "anti-football" is this idea that possession is all that matters. There's literally nothing more anti-football to me, than having possession of the ball in the opposition third, and it somehow ending up with it being passed back to your centre half...

Doing the same thing and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity, isn't it? Personally, I'd be amazed if Sunderland don't set up in exactly the same way. Low block, quick counter attack, plenty of time wasting and trying to break the game up. Their fans won't 'demand'...

I think it was because of the level of frustration at Wright, and in general mate. A fit EMC offers a lot more than Wright in that position, imho. Whether Wright offers more than Simms down the middle is one I'm genuinely not sure about, neither is looking great at the moment.

We've had more possession, the better side is usually the one that scores the most goals, I'd say. That doesn't look like us at the moment...

I don't get this lack of urgency. Sheaf literally strolls off when subbed. Then we get a free kick a few moments later and take about a minute to take it... And then, fuck me. an absolute gift. Just so fucking casual.

Feels like we're in charge of the game, but without really making any clear cut chances. Bit frustrating, I wish we'd break a bit faster - it sometimes feels like we're looking for the perfect goal rather than just going for it...

Call a waahmbulance, this endless two-tier bullshit is utterly tedious. As is your bollocks about people of Indian or Pakistani heritage having no loyalty to this country. Unbelievable racist shite, as usual. Now I know it tends to upset racists when they're called racist, so I've got a...

If you've got a problem with the Iranian state, that's one thing. If you think blaming all Iranians for the actions of a tiny number is acceptable, then you're a racist idiot. Which is it? Now I'm not saying you are a racist idiot, but let's be fair, the right wing does have more than its...

Both handy to have at hand when you're getting to the closing rounds of Championship Scrabble.

I'm not exactly the biggest fan of Simms, but confidence must be bursting out of that eleven now and he deserves another run out. I wouldn't change anything for Friday. Sunderland will be rightly nervous. Same again please.
