    The boat/James

    And there was me thinking it was 100 years since the end of WW1 which was between 1914 and 1918.

    You should still be registered, we watched it together last season too :)

    Chaplin's Pace?

    It's fine lines and essentially boils down to whether what Doyle brings to the team adds more overall value than we lose in the concessions we have to make elsewhere on the pitch because of him. I'd be making that decision on a game by game basis now. There are still games where Doyle would be...

    The Kelly and Leyton Orient stuff is bullshit. There was nothing meek about their relegation, their owner had absolutely destroyed them. They had 5 managers, a winding up petition, players weren't paid from March onwards, an owner who sold all their highest earners and forced the manager to play...

    Bayliss + Sterling

    In defence. Offered virtually nothing going forward. Not sure if that was a CB playing at RB or a guy making their home debut not wanting to overcommit. Really promising performance though.

    Chaplin's Pace?

    Just being played out of position, simple as that. No natural goalscorer wants to be that deep. Doing a job for the team.

    Burge 7 - Great save to hold onto the point. So much more confidence about him this season. Thompson 6 - Did well in defence but offered little going forwards. Out of position it was a really assured performance. Willis 8 - Bailed his partner out on multiple occasions today Davies 6 - Looked...

    Chaplin's Pace?

    Think he's quick over a yard but nothing special over 15. Should be playing on the shoulder of the last man not 10 yards deeper than the man winning flick ons. If we have a more dynamic midfield then he doesn't need to be the extra body in there, which he is at the moment. For me another player...

    Anyway, unbeaten in 6 and off to the pub to celebrate that and watch the Arse vs Liverpool. Safe travels home for those that were at the game.

    In my defence, despite the timing being bad, it doesn't really change the point I was trying to make - it's dictated the other 40 minutes of this half. We've seen how important Bayliss is today.

    Our CBs are higher up the pitch than Doyle. I love him for what he did last year but just look at how much quicker Kelly has moved the ball on since he's been on. I don't buy all this leadership stuff - anyone can bollock a player after they've fucked up but he should have been dragging us up...

    Doyle corner for Hiwula to score in the 94th minute.

    Ogogo is starting to look tired now, clearly not match fit and will come off for Kelly I guess, but a lot of people will point the finger at him today because he's come in to replace Bayliss and we haven't created through the middle. It'll be harsh though. We've created nothing through the...

    This game reminds me of last year. Sitting deep, absolutely nothing through the middle because our midfield pair are also so deep and all we're doing is giving it to Thomas to do something magic (Jones last year).

    Don't think Ogogo's individual performance has been half as bad as suggested. Doing the running for 2 in midfield, same as Bayliss has to, except Bayliss can beat a couple of men with the ball when he gets it whereas Ogogo looks to play a simple pass. Don't think that combination in CM will ever...
