For myself, the biggest reason would be tiredness. I'm not a natural athlete and that fatigue can just get you to skew a shot. But in shooting drills in training I'd expect to get everything on target, with either foot, even if the keeper saved it. Even stuff like volleys I'd be expecting the...

He did seem to show far more strength at the back than up front, where in a lot of those challenges he'd have just fallen on his backside. I can't help but think his skillset is better suited to a CB, but his ego and personality unfortunately isn't.

Has Eli done himself and the Giants a favour and retired yet? He really ought to - it's becoming a bit embarrassing now.

Undoubtedly best team won - totally outclassed the Rams and should feel lucky it didn't end up a rout. Got their defence to thank for that and how they kept that level up despite spending so much time on the pitch is a massive achievement. Think I'm right in saying only one redzone possession...

Quite a few of the games recently have been against teams towards the bottom of the league, albeit some had gone on a decent run of results just prior to playing us. When we get back to playing the top 6 we'll somehow manage to get three points, I'm sure of it.

I'm all for looking at transfers with one eye on the future (even though at this level it's a hiding to nothing as any that do come good are off sharpish and you're out looking again) but if you're going to spend decent money (for this league) on strikers as a manager you'd have to make sure at...

That's a huge H&S violation! How did they all fit in - people standing on the concourse with people on their shoulders and people on their shoulders like an acrobatic troupe?

If that's true then either they should stop looking at messageboards (though I feel it might be more social media which can be aimed more directly at an individual, in which case they shouldn't bother with those platforms either). If you're that affected by fans opinion then maybe professional...

You'd have thought someone by now would've taken Thomas aside and just told him that wherever it is he aims at the goal, just aim it 2 yards further inwards. Like that old Simpson's episode where Marge is taught how to bowl by the French guy.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. All that flurry of transfer activity, and we still go out and do exactly the same as before. Dominate possession, look good and in control, miss chances and look toothless at set pieces, defensive fuck up and we don't win. We should've won that by 3 or...

Going for squatter's rights then?

Because I was looking for a pacy wide player, which Wakefield supposedly is. Westbrooke isn't. Or would you prefer yet another player playing out wide who isn't comfortable there, putting a weakness into the team and negating most of Westbrooke's qualities? I couldn't put him in Bright's...

Few reasons I didn't. 1. I wanted to be able to do both formations without needing to change personnel - couldn't do that with Bayliss as he's not a forward which Bright apparently is. Bright looked lost on the left but more effective in the middle so I want to see what he can do there...

To be fair, Bayliss was utter utter wank that day. Hit so many five yard passes straight out of play, got dispossessed everytime he tried to run with it and was outmuscled. Went with a few people who aren't Cov fans and only watch the odd game so it was the first time they'd seen him and they...

Agree entirely. "ask not how the players can fit around your system, but ask how your system can fit around the players"

Either you're a dwarf or that's one mighty impressive schlong.

I think we've now got players to fit into a 4-5-1, apart from our main problem of sticking the ball in the net. So I'd still like to fit 2 strikers on if possible. So I'm going __________________Burge Sterling___Willis*/Davies____Hyam_____Mason __________Meyler__________Kelly*...

Don't forget we can still sign free agents. With Chaplin, Hiwula and Baka, Ponti and Bremang looking to push on from U23 plus Bright as an option that is still a few strikers to pick from - it's just whether they can start scoring. I'd have preferred to have had another striker in though. Or...

Surprised we've not had anything at all about Brown. Really thought he might go. Him and/or Camwell.
