Yep. Reminds me of Soton a few years back, but they had Lallana and Lambert spearheading their attack. O'Hare and walker may be able to do a similar, if not quite as effective, job as those for us. Having our two first choice strikers out has really disrupted our progress.

Anything other than a defeat I'll be delighted with. At the moment even a close game and a narrow defeat would probably exceed my expectations. No idea what to do with the LWB situation. Like others I think this could be a game to go more proper full-backs, but we've got no proper LB and...

I see no reason why Kelly, Sheaf and Hamer couldn't play together, either as a three with O'Hare in front or with Sheaf and Kelly a bit deeper and Hamer slightly more advanced to try and do more playing in the strikers. He's also not afraid to have a pop at goal. How to fit all of them and...

Johnson press conference at 5. Wonder if he'll start announcing plan to ease lockdown. I also think the plan being 'cautious but irreversible' is a ridiculous thing to say. In a situation like this the one thing it needs to be is reversible. If things start going badly again we need to change...

Similar. Mate of 40 had his last week too.

As much as I despise mandelson he is one of the few who could fight the Tories at their own game. Unfortunately that also stretches as far as the corruption etc. He'd basically be doing the role Cummings was I reckon. Difference is when he fucks up he'll be made to resign rather than backed to...

James is experienced. Gyokeres is young but has played at this level and at international. To get an experienced forward, likely to score goals, in the January transfer window, on our budget was never going to happen, especially when Walker was due back and Godden at the time was unsure if he...

But both of those suggestions have been rumoured to upset squad morale or proved problematic to manage. James has played much higher than this and was well-reviewed by the Barnsley fan on here. I think we'd struggle to find a better, more experienced player of that type in our budget. I'm sure...

I'm considering posting my d(r)aft idea on corporate tax reform on here. It'd definitely meet the 'boring politics' criteria. Just mind end up being a bit long and dry even for this though. :sleep:

We were conceding early on in the season but were scoring a few as well. MR changed things to be a bit more solid and lost a bit of attacking intent but we had a decent spell (albeit at a time we were also playing clubs also struggling at the time). Now we've still lost that attacking impetus...

Get well soon.

Could the hedge have been removed to do the outside landscaping and is due to be replaced with a fence or similar? If you're feeling particularly brave you could talk with the builder about what's happening there and while at it mention the non-frosted window etc. It may result in a more...

But surely the way to stop these bruisers and to protect players is to penalise and book them so they can't continue doing it? Yesterday the ref totally failed to do so and the Cardiff players went around clogging people because they knew the ref wasn't doing anything about it. Clamp down on...

Would be lunacy to undo all this good work done so far for the sake of a few weeks more. What they're suggesting is the same as we did last time and look where that got us. Do these people have literally no memory or ability to apply previous information to current situations. But the spineless...

I agree. Places like this it's all about winning the toss. So I'd get rid of the toss and say the away team always get to choose whether to bat or bowl first.

He does drift out wide from what we've seen. But that doesn't seem to appeal to MR who berated max for pulling wide and dropped him for weeks. You'd think an ex-striker like MR would understand about running the channels and trying to pull defenders out of position or to look for space and make...

Erm.... am I being dumb but that doesn't mean the border wouldn't exist. We've still got a border at the Channel Tunnel. Also a potential problem with Republicans being against it I reckon.

If my auntie had bollocks she'd be my uncle argument. They were three nill up just after half time. They had no need to exert any more effort. If they had needed to they could've scored again. Yes, we gifted them goals but they looked far more likely to score anyway.

You can have 100% possession but if all you do is pass it between your defence it's negative. Most of those shots were after Cardiff were cruising in 2nd gear with the game won and were happy to conserve the energy for the next game. Few of them were on target and those that were never really...

He's played in over half the U23 games and a couple of academy games and has been left out due to injuries meaning he's required on the bench for the first team, esp since it got expanded due to more subs being allowed. He's nowhere near ready yet. Ashley Cain looked exciting and direct when he...
