Finally got a second to post something. Broke a 60 year record last night and left before 90 minutes, something I have never done before, in fact make a point of not doing so. The game was pretty dire and both sides bang average. It has come to a pass when Wilson becomes our most influential...

...nor was van Eweck's goal very 'tippy tappy'

The best tippy tappy at Watford was by their centre-half. Not sure we can rely on that

assume from below, Binks will play altho many of you prefer combinations without him

We are scoring goals but leaking so I would go one up front, presumably (and thro gritted teeth) Godden. Bring back the midfield four - Eccles, Ayari, Palmer and I assume Kelly. Kitching has to come in given the defensive weakness. Collins for Wilson for the same reason It won't happen because...

Wake up and smell the coffee. Mid table would always have been good this year. That was the case even before the injuries. We are in the same position as the League 2 season in terms of the development cycle just from a much higher starting point and where it is a lot more competitive. Lots of...

why?

I don't think excitement is what we want. A good away point against a form team will do

Don't think about the names think about the formation. We are only allowed eleven players on the pitch. We can't have 4 midfielders and 2 strikers so you have to take your pick. A stronger midfield is imho of more value than a second striker in an away game. We could keep Godden at the...

Sakamoto and Kitchen for the two Jamaicans would seem the logical thing. But having just conceded three goals at home and as we are up against good opposition, it maybe appropriate to be a bit more defensive. So Kitchen and Sakamoto in, but also Kelly in for Godden and go one up front. Haji is...

...if it has the potential to make money. Some things are distressed for a reason, so not 'anything'. There must be unfulfilled revenue opportunities that can be released relatively easily. Nobody ever said that about a football club. I suspect he quite fancies the idea of 'The Fraser Arena...

Read my lips. He...was...never...interested...in...buying...us. Why on earth would he? He's been there, done that, got the T shirt and the scars. The ground is an asset he can exploit, a club is a money pit. He quite likes money.

Early results tend indicate that - new contenders in Hull, Birmingham, Preston and Ipswich. Promoted teams (Ipswich again) not dead cert relegation candidates. Covid induced financials have now run out. Money is talking again.

Allen would have been handy yesterday, presumably in place of Eccles. But City would still have been outnumbered in midfield. Watford had done their homework about how City use wing backs and play from the back

Wilson - Distribution shocking, and that third goal, I mean I ask you. Back 3 - very uncoordinated. Two goals from the pocket behind the wing back and one almighty cock up. Wing backs - Van Ewik is a real find. Da Silva I am not sure why we wanted him so desperately; totally at fault for their...

I thought Eccles played well, better than Sheaf. At least he did some of the donkey work in midfield. We were underpowered in that department so he was left with a tough job. Disappointed he was subbed.

The midfield problem is mainly but not totally numbers. We previously had four in midfield led by Hamer. Now we have three with only Palmer who 'makes things happen'. And Godden is not the player to fill the gap. Take your pick, two strikers or four in midfield?

Basically for a lot of the time they played like they barely knew one another, which of course they don't. Posted it before but last Spring the first team included 7 with at least 2.5 years together (plus 3 loans plus Bidwell). That counts. It will take time

My first game this year. 10 things 1. There is no point playing tippy tappy at the back if all you do is give the opposition time to settle and reorganize. If Wilson has no obvious pass, he might just as well bang it up - particularly with a big unit like Wright up front. 2.Tippy tappy at the...
