    We don't create enough

    I thought it looked like he was going to a few times but ended up leaving the ball slightly behind and that gave the defender just enough time to close him down.

    We don't create enough

    I agree, but then it leaves the issue of who to play up front. Godden never seems to get involved when up front on his own, Simms doesn't seem to have the movement or spotting the runs, though could probably hold the ball up. Wright could be the one, but I feel he might be inconsistent. You're...

    Keith Stroud

    I thought he let too much go and was encouraging someone to fly in with a challenge. With O'Nien on the pitch that's a dangerous thing to do. But he was consistent in letting it go for both teams.

    Refereeing

    No, it makes people concentrate very specifically on the small areas that the pay is linked to at the expense of other areas. Been shown in organsiations it's created overall poor performance because different departments are measured on different metrics and one will do something that affects...

    Refereeing

    I don't think one necessarily follows the other. We see people in very prominent positions that throw the blame on others the second anything goes wrong. People in it for the pay and prestige, but when accountability rears its ugly head, suddenly they're not interested. I've been in jobs where...

    Refereeing

    That's the argument politicians use for their pay increases.

    Premier League thread

    Personally I'm fine with Luton being there - they earned it. Whether they spend loads of money trying to stay there or not, or try and change their style of play or not, doesn't bother me one bit. They need a new stadium and focusing their PL windfall on that is a far more sensible approach...

    Refereeing

    So why not just have them throw a dice to decide which way the decision goes. It'd be interesting.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Sunderland Match Thread - Saturday 26th Aug

    Unchanged starting XI, with Ayari replacing Andrews on the bench. Got a confident feeling abouut tomorrow, though I always find that a bit unnerving.

    Transfer targets

    That's one hell of an arm you've got to get it into the Sunderland fans from Block 20.

    Any more this week?

    MR loves Jamie Allen. Really can't see him being let go on a free.

    Expect another delay

    Just had a thought. Are those that ordered early on getting adults shirts, kids shirts or both? Wondered if it might be they've had one lot done and not the other, and if you've ordered both they've not been sent out yet as part of the order isn't ready?

    U23's... should we stop it?

    Shouldn't sack it off completely, but we need to be more discerning about who we bring in. Far too many seem to be a punt we hope goes well. Could do with it being a 'B' team that an have out of favour first teamers. Makes it harder and more competitive for the young players but can also learn...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    If you shoot for the king, don't miss. And certainly don't lower the gun after telling them you're going to shoot them.

    Lucy Letby

    Isn't there a larger proportion of men to women, so not all men would be able to find a monogamous partner even if they all wanted to? Pretty sure that's the case in China due to the one baby rule, but felt sure it was a similar situation in Japan. It is very patriarchal still. Until...
