    Rudoni criticism is too much. He has been poor and is miles off last year, but let’s not forget he wasn’t liked last season initially either. He needs to play himself into form. Comments around buying into his own hype or attitude/arrogance are mental. He’s come from the lower leagues and...

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Looking for a new series to watch. Ideally a few seasons long. I seem to be running out! I have been going back through the list I’ve kept on my phone which is a mixture of recommendations on here and other research over the years. Appreciate it depends on taste, but I’m pretty flexible on...

    I thought he was pretty inoffensive. On the ball he started really poorly, but I put that down to nerves and lack of match sharpness. We were also against the best team we’ve seen here this season in terms of nullifying how we play. We play on the front foot / others actually play well and I...

    Lampard interview

    Called the fans asking for the keeper to be pressed out in the match day thread: Got to the point where I loudly called this out to the people around me, as it was absolute constant stupidity and from people who were clearly not regulars which pissed me off more for some reason.

    Matchday Rewind Furlong

    Not sure you can equate a player sticking his fingers up another (or whatever an accurate description is) to a shoulder to shoulder challenge or sliding tackle. The latter two are both allowed and part of the game, albeit sometimes are mistimed or carried out over aggressively. Sticking...

    Wright penalty decision

    We were really poor last night. The ref was absolutely horrendous. Both things can, and are, true. I missed the Furlong/EMC one. Would like to see the Sakamoto pen one too again - looked stonewall in real time.

    I think it’s entirely fair to say we’ve been shit. We haven’t adapted. Players have underperformed. Subs have been poor. Without wetting the bed.

    At least it’s easy to spot the plastic fans - they’re all leaving now.

    Why does he hate Simms? Wright has been awful on and off the ball. 12 minutes to change the game is stupid (but I hope he does).

    EMC losing battle to Furlong is tragic btw. Appreciate the ref is shite and not helping.

    Fans begging us to close their keeper down are doing my head in. Zero clue how football works.

    If Rudoni, Wright et al can’t exploit their pedestrian CB pairing we’re in trouble. Never mind their full backs.

    Can I just say; this still doesn’t feel real. Packed ground, high expectations, buzzing atmosphere. That incredible Notts County semi was only 7 years ago….

    With no crowds how long do you reckon? Just debating if I have any no shows near me suggesting he comes to me pre HT.

    Nice. So I can make him have a beer with me in block 20 and then he can make his way round to 5?!

    Thank you! Does the concourse run under corporate though?

    One of my friends has a ticket in Block 5 today. I sit in the East Stand. I’d like to have a beer with him pre game. Going to assume that isn’t possible in a concourse area anywhere?

    The illness piece is still a massive factor too. MVE played more like himself last game despite clearly struggling. Sakamoto was pretty quiet, which is unusual this season, especially at home. If those two are firing and EMC continues his form, it should once again cement others being fearful...

    We need to resolve the injustice of the away game. Still frustrated by it and the arrogance it’s produced from some of their fans. Big game, big crowd, under the lights and (hopefully) an atmosphere to match. All to be equalled by a big result, 3-0. Rudoni to find form and whomever starts up...
