He seems to parry a lot of shots rather than catching them. So if we sign him up, we'll need to make sure he's surrounded by our defenders to prevent any tap-ins after the initial parry. i thought Wilson did okay for the 1 min that he played, but obviously that's too little a sample size to...

So dumb. Suicidal back pass and a penalty to compound matters.

It hasn't helped that we've played quite a few of the early season pacesetters and the matches have come thick and fast (almost every other Tue and Fri/Sat). Fitness levels are not quite where they need to be and injuries/suspensions haven't helped. I'm desperate for some clean sheets as well as...

Watched highlights of Middlesboro vs Forest on YouTube. Still can't get over the fact we lost to Middlesboro who look very ordinary, but we were worse on the day. Forest look a poor side and rightfully so. If we have the same belief and mentality like we did against Reading, then I think we have...

Agree with this. Baka for his youth and physical stature does not always seem to know how to use these to his advantage in terms of the team concept. Walker will need to get up to speed soon and offer competition for places. I thought, to an extent, Max helped bring others into the mix. We need...

From this day forward I think all other teams in this division besides us, need to wear blue hoops for their home kits and red away kits.

i understand it's a long season and am trying to stay calm, but something has to change in terms of: a) Not committing silly fouls in front of the ref that could get one sent off (e.g. tapping someone on the face or shoving an attacker in the penalty area) b) Doing a better job against the press...

Apart from the Barnsley match, we haven’t keep a clean sheet all season. That would be a start. Having some confidence/belief and not committing stupid red card offenses like tapping someone on the face or pushing someone in the back in the penalty box right in front of the ref would also be an...

It’s like target practice for them. Just hope we can keep it respectable.

Agree totally. Just let it fly when you’re around the 6 yard box. That’s what Shipley did the last game to score.

Always felt Rose got his place back in the side too easily. Never thought Ostigard should have lost his place. Seems more steady to me than Rose. Now that’s he’s suspended for the next 3 matches, I hope Ostigard cements his place in the first eleven.

Darn wish Godden got his boot to that! Wonderful chipped pass by Kelly.

Pitch is getting waterlogged. Call the game off!!

I do hope you end up being correct with your predictions. I agree that MR teams of the last few seasons seem to start the season slow and then pick up the pace and finish the season strong. I'd really like to see that this season as well. We are clearly getting used to the pace, strength and...

No Dabo, Hamer and Shipley. Our squad seems a little stretched at the moment. Hope we don’t lose.

I beg to differ. Hiwula was given plenty of opportunities at the start of last season, but his returns were paltry. Biamou on the other hand seems to have a much higher rate of return than Hiwula. Also, Biamou has a better work ethic/attitude and has a knack for coming up big in crucial moments...

At least got a point against Barnsley..lol

The last couple is games our midfield has been overrun. As a result, there is no bridge between our defence and attack. It may require 1-2 players (like our wingbacks) to be played in slightly advanced positions. But it’s not like they are not already used for attacking purposes anyway. This...

I never said to drop COH. I said to play our best 11. Please refer to my other threads.

Freaking hit the bar vs Barnsley and now vs Brentford. No luck. Only deciding to play after we go 1 or 2 goals down in every game. We look shell-shocked in many games and totally devoid of any confidence.
