GNR was pretty average tbh. Organisation at the start was horrendous and so so so much waiting around in numerous queues. The route itself was also way too crowded. Support was good though, especially considering the rubbish weather. My aim was to pace my cousin a PB and we did, just! So that...

Thanks Travs - really helpful! I think I’m sort of heading out of the fatigue stage now, which is good! Feel as though I could do slightly more each week but as always timing is key, and finding more is unlikely now. GNR this morning does seem a logistical ballache. There’s definitely going to...

This might be an obvious question, but I’ll ask anyway! Context first. I decided to try and hit a weekly mileage target, so for 4 of the last 5 weeks I’ve hit >50miles. Before that I had 2 weeks around 40 and before that it was very inconsistent but anything up to 30 with the odd higher week...

Negativity and pessimism on this board is at an all time high. It’s boring and depressing to read. International breaks are shite as it is, never mind off the back of a bad performance and a perceived bad transfer window. Sign Matty James, play 4-3-3, win at Watford and we’ll all be happy again.

Not ideal but it’s the situation we’re in and at this point it’s a bit of a no brainier. His experience and leadership will add confidence and reassurance to the midfield, and most importantly it finally allows us to play with one 6 and two 8’s, which 100% suits our players better.

I missed the bit about others wanting off? Who?!

I have to disagree with putting him down the middle. I understand you’re point, re we lose something when he’s tracking so deep, but he looked poor last season up front and yesterday I genuinely forgot he was on the pitch when we went central. He had the beating of their RB in the first 20...

You’ve been on this forum since 2011, you’ve surely seen this dance before.

I said it in the match thread; he isn’t a 10. He’s an 8, which is the system we all thought we’d be starting with. I feel for him as he’s a good player, but he’s being asked to be the creative spark at 10 which isn’t his game and fans will then start to question his ability, confidence will...

New season, same old MR out narrative being spun. Yesterday was poor and very little to take forward as a positive. However we’ve a long way to go and we’ve been here before. Expectations and pressure are certainly higher this year, partly because we have a plethora of attacking talent we...

Yea I saw it, it went for quite while and was pretty expressive so I thought most would have seen it. Impossible to tell what it was about, but I thought it was as an interaction with Boetang. Eccles was 100% pissed off about something but I highly doubt it was not being subbed. Debate Eccles...

Yea re Bidwell, he seems to be (trying to) offer more offensively but it’s at the expensive of his historically solid defensive play.

Also, it was worrying how tired our players look?! We’re six games in…..

So far the following have been called out on this thread as being poor (or a variation of the word); Lati Bidwell Eccles Torp Rudoni Wright Simms Sakamoto Bassette EMC That, on top of the general consensus we looked clueless tactically, is pretty telling of how we played today. It’s now on MR...

Not been this pissed off after a game for a long time. In the grand scheme of things it means little, lots of games left, Sheaf to return, but I think it’s the fact we have an embarrassment of riches up front and create so so little. I’ll say it again; Rudoni is not a 10.

Midfield wasn’t the issue.

So much attacking talent and zero idea how to utilise it.

I honestly think he’ll come good, but at this poin; EMC is really struggling with the step up. He looks poor on the ball and positionally.

Moan about Simms, but our left hand side is so so vulnerable. Every time they attack it’s a worry.

Our “press” is so wank. Gets played through everytime and way too easily. Either press or sit, don’t half arse it.
