Don't know if it’s recency bias, but I feel like we’re quite often exposed to the counter from our attacking set pieces.

Got a video clip of it but unsure how to post. Any ideas?

Just watched it back. It’s a heavy touch in the attacking third. Bit of a stretch. Meanwhile, left 3 on 3 and Dabo makes the most token gesture of tracking back.

People who piss on the toilet seat. Fucking tramps.

Jesus Christ what a mess.

Disagree. It wasn’t so much pressing, they let us have the ball at the back at times. Unforced errors and a habit in the first half of our midfielders going to stand next to one of theirs.

Tactically very clever from Stoke today. Pulled our wing backs high, isolated their wide strikers against our centre backs, then Powell would drop and bring Fadz with him. Caused absolute havoc.

Because everyone left early there was no queue to get out the car park at full time.

Pretty crackers that he’s played 12 times for us, been very good in 11 of them, and now people have decided he’s not very good off the back of one performance.

Fair to say their development curve has flattened after leaving. Back to the original post, though, McNally is a great opportunity and will have considerable resale value if we were to sign him permanently.

5 of the 8 teams above us don’t have a striker on course for 20 this season (would need 17 at this stage). It’s a fallacy. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a ‘nice to have’ but if we signed 3 players (thinking 2 strikers and an AM) that all scored 10 goals then there’s a better return straight away...

No, they can always buy a ticket.

We don’t need a ‘once in a generation’ signing to replace Vik. That’s hyperbole. We’d need to take the opportunity to improve the squad as a whole and reduce our reliance on 2-3 players to provide the spark.

I’d put that down to demographics on Twitter, myself. Anyway, it’s just Former Players’ Association day under a fancier name.

As a side note, has Caulker been any good for them since joining?

Yakubu and Andre Wright.

It’s not really, though, is it. A selection of first choice mid-table PL strikers: Danny Welbeck Aleksandar Mitrovic Ollie Watkins Odsonne Edouard Raul Jimenez Patrick Bamford Wouldn’t say any of the above are clearly better than Vik. The idea he’d be benchwarming is questionable at best.

Sam Surridge or Ellis Simms.

But Bellingham could still get forward a bit, which is more than Phillips does really. That aside, I’m not against Southgate remaining. I did suggest freshening the coaching staff around him though.

Ain’t heard of half these players the last couple of pages.
