    Dabo is having one of those my distribution is absolutely terrible games. On the other hand, Eccles looks Uber confident. They are constantly on Gyokeres. Another decent striker alongside him who could exploit the space and we’d create more. Better 10 would help too.

    Had a long few work days, so I’m really looking forward to tonight. Even going to slip in a HT pint which I don’t usually do (NB. but I won’t be leaving my seat early to do so). Disappointing sales so far, but I still think the atmosphere will be great. Team spirit seemed good on Saturday and...

    Can’t recall the reasons “we” all hated Gilbert (I can’t personally remember feeling that strongly towards him). But regardless he’s done an excellent job thus far. An axe to grind himself perhaps.

    Keep Eccles. He deserves his place and I was pleased to see him show he’s actually a good footballer on Saturday. Hamer is a good option from the bench, especially if we need an injection. Yea he’s creative but he’s been out for 4 games, and as it is he only turns up 1 in 3/4 so let him come on...

    Great to see. Reminiscent of last year and the fantastic camaraderie and bond between players and fans. Another sign things are moving in the right direction, hopefully.

    Recommend a beer

    Appreciate this sounds like absolute beer snobbery (and it is tbf), but it was a lot nicer before they sold to Heineken!

    Fantastic result. And with a good set of fixtures coming and COH/Hamer to return, hopefully the nonsense relegation panic will soon be mooted. I wasn’t going to have a drink tonight, but my mind was changed at FT!

    Midfield is definitely lacking. Wouldn’t be as bad if it was just one of Allen or Eccles, but both could essentially mean a one man midfield. Equally maybe Eccles shows he’s a footballer today and him and Sheaf can use the ball well. Regardless Allen at 10 negates any creativity, coupled with...

    Said it earlier in the thread and I know it’s been echoed a few times. But surely, surely, surely the actions of Lucas, Mutton, Reeves etc need to be reviewed. How much money has been wasted on this whole saga? And who has profited as there has to have been a number of underhand...

    I’m with the unanimous feeling; it’s great news. And to be honest a long, long time coming. Absolutely not surprised it came to a head. Now the pivotal milestone is; what happens next. Happy path, there’s a serious investor looking at the stadium and the football club. Or, I’d be fine with SISU...

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Been excited to watch The Old Man and just binged the first three on Disney+ only to realise it’s released weekly. What?! Why is that still a thing. Those who have watched it all - what streaming site / how did you do so? Sod waiting for weekly episodes!

    Anyone Here Been To Norway?

    Been to Bergen quite a lot. Direct flight from one of the London airports. Absolutely fantastic place. Loads of activities to do, massively picturesque and loads of nice craft beer places (albeit pricey!).

    How many years running now have you started the MR Out narrative? By the nature of football at some point you’ll be right. But for me now isn’t the time.

    I know it’s tongue in cheek / on the wind up stuff, but some of the posts over the last few pages of this thread were uncomfortable reading.

    Read this a few times and really struggling to understand your point. I don’t even know if you’re agreeing or disagreeing with me (but a safe bet is probably the latter).

    Disappointed. Once again when we actually turn up we’re good, we just didn’t do it until the the changes and we actually tried to be offensive. Negativity doesn’t suit us; same shit every year.

    Not too sure what to make of that. We’ve not really turned up or played football. We’ve been hoofball and stood way off. They are not world beaters and hate being ran at. I want Walker to do well but like many others he’s anonymous. We need to turn up and quick.

    Palmer and Panzo are so comfortable on the ball. As are other, yet we’re playing hoofball. Too many non-performances so far.

    Didn’t realise Craig Bellamy was their assistant manager!! Hope he stands too close to the touch line just as a crunching tackles comes in.
