I based the hour on something I read a while ago about how long the ball is roughly in play for during a game - think it was about 65 minutes. Plus if the clock is stopped all the time wasting becomes pointless and doesn't happen. Biggest concern is some teams may still try and do it for a...

So it wasn't working then was it?

Is it just me that everytime you see the name your head just goes 'mmm, QAnon' as if it were a Danone advert? Even though that's not how you pronounce it.

I'm wondering if maybe for a while O'Hare could revert to the bench role he had when he first came to give him a bit of a rest but still have him available if need be? Let someone like Allen use his energy for the first half/60 mins and then let O'hare have a go at them with fresher legs and...

The chink in his armour has always been in game management. He decides how he wants to approach a game tactically and almost steadfastly refuses to veer from that plan. Subs are often like for like and made far too late. I don't know if it's because he doesn't trust the players to be able to...

60 minute game. Stopped clock when ball is out of play. Dedicated time keeping official. I will keep pushing this because it's such an easy and common sense solution to the problem.

I agree but it makes it more infuriating that he doesn't try to change it during the game.

No it's not. It was how I was feeling during the game and that things needed to change. As much as we improved in the second half (how could we not) we hardly looked like we were causing them many problems. If you're a goal down and not looking overly threatening, you change it. Sometimes it...

The last paragraph makes it a bit odd that he didn't try something else up front until 89 minutes. As much as we can say we were on the front foot second half I don't think we tested them at all. They seemed quite happy that they could keep us out.

and then played a ridiculously low amount of injury time.

Given him extra shooting practice in training and say he can't leave until he's scored 10 in a row.

I know Maatsen's not that tall but as he plays in a position that requires a decent defensive understanding you'd think you'd have him back and push the more attacking Jones up front.

But then there'd have either been gaps between their lines to exploit or their whole team has to step back 10 yards and they can't high press us, which caused us issues.

Games like last night and Luton it appeared he had two left feet! But to be fair to him he has also had a few excellent games, so it's a consistency issue. I think MR needs to recognise those games he's off the pace and be willing to change it. It's good to have a natural left footer in the...

Unbelievable response. If anything tells you the club and sport is run by old, affluent white men this is it. How you can find someone being called a 'p***' banter is pretty much incomprehensible. It's been totally unacceptable and been considered racist for decades. To then say that the player...

Just had an idea for a slogan for the climate protestors about the disdain governments and corporations show to the planet and environment in their desire for money. War On Terra.

I'm starting to think we're in an alien reality show and humans are there for the aliens to laugh at our stupidity. The Only Way Is Extinction.

But again we need to ask questions of the recruiting process. MR chased him for ages and paid a decent fee for him. Surely in that time he must have researched the type of player he is and realised he's not someone who fits into his ethic and looked elsewhere. We had a similar thing with Chaplin...

I don't think MR will be too bothered by that. Godden and Walker aren't the type to be particularly effective having to do the chasing and when they've played on their own we rarely look that dangerous. Waghorn could probably do it but then you're reducing your goal scoring ability. Gyo is...

But none of them are terrible and could offer something if one of those players is having a bad day. Picking a team that fails to perform is one thing. To pick that team and choose not to change it when you can see that it's not working is quite another. Today I was struggling to think of which...
