100% there’s nothing like that around B15.

The one thing I’ll say on this - and I think I raised it with @Sky Blue Pete previously - there’s no real way of knowing when the teams have come back out. I’ve had it before where I walk back to my seat and it’s 2-3 minutes into the 2nd half. Would be good if they could stick something over...

West Ham had him last season and barely used him. I really don’t think it’s beyond the realms of possibility.

The argument years ago with someone like Man Utd was “they spend so much time in the opposition’s box they’re bound to get penalties”. We’ve had (by quite a long way) the most touches in the opposition box this season and had 1 penalty. It just doesn’t scan correctly.

That was fucking maddening. Also, when we get switched round at kick off (which is rare) we tend to carry the song on to the 2nd verse but we didn’t last night.

Walton’s glaring weakness is with the ball at his feet. 2 trains of thought on this: you let him have the time but cut off his options, forcing him to go long; or you press him like hell knowing that he’s not a composed passer of the ball. We decided option 1 was best but with Wright, Rudoni and...

it’s weird - Rak Sakyi would have been a great signing at the start of the season but now it feels so close to going up you wonder whether he’d be any use in the PL.

For now, yeah. Then when we go up sign Harry Wilson on a free and he can take over from EMC.

No room for sentiment. He has some fundamentals which suggest he could make it as a Championship player, but in 5 months’ time we’ll have hopefully moved beyond that. Probably keep him hanging round for the rest of the season then get him back to Andalusia.

Fucking Strasbourg. Fuck off.

Other thing whilst it’s in my mind: a game like last night there’s very little point in defending in a 442 shape. Rudoni should have been playing as a third CM off-the-ball, especially given he didn’t seem to have particular interest in actually pressing and cutting off options. The space they...

Rudoni’s always had a tendency to drift out wide to find space, and fundamentally no issue with him doing that. However, he seems to be doing it so early in moves (like when we’re playing out of defence) that it makes us quite predictable. Need him to stay central earlier in the play and drift...

It was clear we were under instruction not to press the keeper but in my view that was the wrong decision. He’s crap with the ball at his feet and could quite easily have made a mess of things with the amount of times he feinted to play the ball. You don’t want just Wright or just Rudoni...

Touch of the Jack McBeans about him.

Looked like it came off Torp from where I was. And not a slight nick.

How the fuck was that their drop ball?

No Davis for them then. Assuming they’re playing Greaves at LB. Sakamoto will tie him in knots.

Bonkers in a sense that their 2 best players play in the same position so aren’t on the pitch together most of the time.

Right, I enjoy watching the darts generally but I’m on the verge of blowing my brains out listening to the chants from the crowd.
