For a 6'4'' supposed centre forward he is absolute shit at heading.

You could argue that Rudoni gets the chance for the header because the striker is occupying defenders. I do think for their size though Simms and Wright are poor at headers. Wright rarely seems to have the heart for it while Simms can't time a jump to save his life (or is doing so deliberately...

It was about three weeks ago, when we lost to two teams in the relegation zone in consecutive games.

So I've decided on a starting XI that would allow us the flexibility to either play our usual game if they try to have a go, or play two up top and a 10 if they sit back. I'd start our normal formation or 4-3-3 and if they do sit in we could change it to a sort of 3-4-1-2. Wilson MvE Thomas...

We need to not use it every time we get a throw in around their box. It becomes too predicatable. Throw a couple short and then either cross it in or run towards the box. Give them something to think about.

Actually thinking about it, it has to be nicked. A song about a Samba rhythm is going to be used for a Brazilian isn't it. We're not even thinking about it anymore.

Would be happy because I'm sure we could shoehorn his name into Vogue for a song.

Good point. Starting a family could change someone's outlook. Though I suppose if you were going to do it you'd do so when the child was very young to minimise disruption to the development. But having to move on top of getting used to the massive changes in your life probably isn't a hassle you...

Wouldn't surprise me. There's been a distinct lack of uniqueness about many of our songs for a while. Just find one that a big team sings and rehash the words.

Despite how frustrating and inconsistent he is his scoring record for us is very good and that costs money.

If you had a day a year where every CEO took the day off i bet hardly anyone would notice. If you had one day a year where no-one did anything they were not specifically being paid for (voluntary work, unpaid overtime, even people caring for loved ones) then the country would cease to function...

It depends. How many extra hours would it be? Would it leave you exhausted and badly affect your mental health and therefore your relationships? It's not as simple as more money = good.

Although some of the stuff written about migrants and ayslum seekers is horrific, you would think stuff like 'commit a serious crime and you lose the right to stay' makes perfect sense. Wouldn't be that many people who'd consider that unreasonable.

I have been thinking about that and given how deep Grimes sits why not effectively play him as the third CB? Worry with that is that the FB have to push forward leaving space and we saw they can cause problems in behind with pace. I'm basically trying to pick 11 players who would be able to...

Irony is that a certain CoH would be perfect for that situation. Only other one who could do it IMO is Torp, who can also shoot from range, but is out. Could Rudoni adapt to being played as a 10 and carrying the ball? Might sound mad but if we're still a goal down with 10 mins to go I'd...

But they needed to acknowledge that was because they needed to score and he had space. That was never going to happen in the first leg of a play off game.

If I were Sunderland boss you'd have to be thinking of just playing the same tactics again. They have a lead so can afford to and we've shown all season we struggle to beat it. But at the same time because they're at home the fans are likely to get restless at them seemingly inviting pressure...

I feared Sunderland would turn up and just defend and they did. And once again we did the thing that has failed all season even against the poorest teams in the division - AAATB, take ages to make any attempt to break them down and when a shooting/crossing chance comes in more often than not...

We hardly created any chances despite them defending for 90 mins and got caught out the few times they tried to break, scoring two.

Wilson - 5. Maybe could have been stronger with their first and was left totally exposed for the second. Dasilva - 6.5 Did an admirable job and didn't get caught out behind too often, MvE - 5. Got to lose at least one mark for that backpass. Thomas - 5.5. Seemed to be covering their striker for...
