Saw that video posted elsewhere - fucking rancid. As I’ve said numerous times I try not to pass judgement on these kinds of videos where filming has clearly started mid-way through. However, there’s nothing at all that could precede the clip and make stabbing someone in the fucking neck even...

The Mrs deciding it’s worthwhile moving the crib of our 12-week old next to my side of the bed for the night. When we both know she’s the light sleeper and I’m the deep sleeper so all that will happen is she wakes up and then wakes me up. There is literally no merit to us both being awoken.

I do agree with the point about him being brought off. The subs are definitely pre-planned. Think about how we took Bristol apart at their place last season for about half an hour, then Pearson changed their setup and it stemmed the flow. I haven’t seen Robins do that particularly often in his...

Get the gist of what you’re saying, but going on a full man-to-man press is very risky. That’s why a common strategy is to press to make the opposition play into a space where you have a numerical advantage. We don’t do that at all (I think that was one of Dennis Lawrence’s influences...

Someone said earlier that the midfield was too deep, isolating Simms. But, of course, if they were deep then they’d be helping out defensively. Just seems to be a void in the middle of the pitch regardless of attack or defence.

The one word that would describe our start to the season. Such a clear and painful lack of aggression to our play which means we’re affording the opposition far too much space. I also haven’t noticed a coherent press in any of our games yet. I still believe we have the talent in the squad to be...

How much recovery time would a top level cricketer need between T20 matches?

Are we sure we need the post-match road closures?

The new Persil advert, where the girl has her shirt signed by Saka. Parents wash it and the ink comes out (yeah, I’ll believe that when I see it) and dad has the temerity to say “we’ll fix it”. Then next clip is the girl getting it signed again. She’s had to go and sort it herself. Dad should be...

Do grown men not find that embarrassing?

That is years old FYI.

Finally got round to building the raised beds I’d been planning to build for the last 4-5 years. Dual-height, so got some at a foot and some at 2 foot. Smartens up the garden massively. Now to fill them! Going to be next season before I start looking at growing though.

That 2nd point is the major one for me. If you’re going to close the roads, give people an opportunity to spend money whilst they wait.

See, I think by inviting as many of the opposition up for a corner, you could break and be 3 on 2. We don’t get out anywhere near quick enough though.

I’m nowhere near as offended as you are at the idea of having everyone back for corners/defensive set pieces (and assume part of the thinking is to give opportunity for a quick break), but someone of Simms’ nature should be front post at corners and in the wall for a FK. Wouldn’t even say he’s...

I’ve often thought if we actually walked out to the trumpets/cornets bit at the start it’d work quite well. Quiet enough and doesn’t get you engaged straight away to stop chanting and start singing along. Then obviously it kicks up.

The fucking brass neck on him trying to argue with the ref.

Should be focusing on the positives but thought Bidwell was dreadful last night. For a player with a reputation as a decent defender he’s so passive and sits horrendously narrow at times.
