Wouldn't be my definition of a head start

Just started in Indonesia. England are there after failing to qualify last time and so missed out defending the title they won in 2017. The squad in 2017 was pretty formidable with a couple of very familiar names - https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/37485054/meet-players-won-world-cup

'4 at the back, Gaffer?! But why did you buy so many CBs?!'

I think the vast majority on here agreed we got away with one at QPR?

He prefers to use his notes for other purposes it seems - http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/may/24/newsid_2503000/2503183.stm...

Doing his first EFL game in 5 years the week after a major incident was always going to raise eyebrows and you can understand people putting 2 and 2 together. If I was Taylor I'd be annoyed that my bosses haven't ever mentioned any planned rotation or corrected the many apparently incorrect...

I agree Taylor's got stitched up a bit by his VAR colleague, but why did he ref his first championship league game in 6 years if not a 'demotion'? And they haven't really helped themselves by then giving him the Chelsea v Man C game. They've invited post like this -

This sort of shite doesn't help either. Thought the beeb might be above generating arguments for clicks :rolleyes:... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67340076 We've gone so far away from why VAR was wanted in the first place - Lampard goal v Germany, Henry handball v Ireland, yards...

It's a weird one as the Millwall site says it will be - Travel update for Millwall v Coventry City But the TFL journey planner doesn't have it closed and I can't find anything about a closure in planned works 🤷‍♂️

And this is his view of the Simms one in the 73rd min (the defender's already diverted his run and tried to push Simms by this point). If Simms had gone down and claimed a pen, he'd have probably got it.

Nope. Sheaf misplaced a pass aimed at Wright, and then it was only Wright chasing PNE players down before the through-ball.

Preston time-wasting - 90th min - (Never a) freekick on far touchline - 37s 91st min - Corner (deliberately used the same ball from the shot rather than a multi-ball that was much closer) - 36s 92nd min - O'Hare chips it to their keeper - Has it 23s before he clears it 94th min - Freekick just...

I thought so at the time, but looks just on -

And he's miles onside for his second, good following up striking for both -

Oh and to all the Preston fans replying on twitter to the penalty footage with 'what about the offside?!'...Looks on to me. The leg of the defender trying to block the shot must be in the 6 yard box and Wright isn't -

Considering Stoke tore us a new one with 3 CBs last season, be interesting to see how we line up on Sat...

This is an interesting take -

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/mar/21/inside-world-premier-league-football-referees-pgmol-howard-webb-andre-marriner-darren-england I remember reading this a while back, section '5 Splitting the room' sums it up. I was furious in the stands yesterday, but we've had some shockers in...

The Hoodoo, The Curse and The Jinx are the Cov pubs... 😬 On train now, guess will head to Station or the Vic 👍

This set piece stick to beat Eccles with is a weird one. Below are the stats for set piece goals this season compared to the whole of last season (where we were last on set piece goals). I don't recall anyone moaning about Hamer's delivery. He might have whipped them and caused a bit of chaos...
