    Decent enough start, we look to be on the front foot. Not convinced it’s a diamond. Sort of 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 with Biamou centre and COH/Gyokeres pulling wide.

    I don’t know what to expect tonight, in terms of performance, team selection and tactics. I still feel if we play offensively we have a chance against most teams. And that’s definitely the case tonight. I thought Gyokeres looked like he had something about him, the key is trying not to isolate...

    Does anyone have any go to review sites? I’m always interested to read reviews (not recaps) of episodes, as I find it intriguing the aspects others pull out or view as significant. I have used AV Club quite a bit but their coverage of shows has decreased and they’ve picked some poor shows to...

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Despite my reservations I started The Last Kingdom. I’m half way through series 4 and it’s fantastic. Having read the books is both a help and a hindrance; the former as you know the characters and have connections already, the latter as the deviations from the book immediately annoy me...

    Update for anyone interested, Day 4 of experiencing symptoms and today I thought I was starting to improve slightly. However, after taking my daughter for a few laps round the garden to try and get her some fresh air/tire her out, I’m shattered and feeling as shit as I did yesterday. My partner...

    There’ll be over reactions a plenty on here tonight, but for once it is warranted. We shoot ourselves in the foot one way or another every single game, and against quality players we get punished. I’ve said it before; everyone has weaknesses and substitutions and changing tactics mid games is...

    We’re let down by a lack of attacking emphasis in the final third, again. Our defence has looked vulnerable at times, but their attacking threat is impressive and are always going to cause issues. James and Hamer is a very strong two, but the two in front of them are letting them down, either...

    James looks a very class act in the middle.

    Stuck at home feeling shite with covid, a sick partner and two young kids.* A City performance and a win would be a nice break! Albeit my chances of getting to watch it are pretty non-existent. Optimistic 2-1. *apologies for anyone who has already read about this several times in the Off...

    Test results confirmed I have covid as expected. Other than a slight twinge of a sore throat and achiness I felt fine yesterday, however it absolutely hit me hard overnight. I feel absolutely terrible, as in not wanting to get out of bed today if that was an option. And for reference, I’m...

    I have been WFH full time since March so those positives aren’t quite the silver lining they once were, as much as I love the kids! The difference in productivity and freedom to do things on the days the older one is at nursery/grandparents and the days she home all day is significant. I...

    We woke up to a text confirming my partner tested positive for Covid yesterday. Chances are that means I have it too - I went for a test first thing this morning, so I should know by tomorrow. She feels terrible, I feel fine at the minute, albeit potentially starting to feel as though I am...

    Running

    Genuinely never heard of this until you both mentioned it here. Just reading the website now, sounds interesting. Although 40 miles is a long way in one go, it would require some proper training! Have you/are you running solo or as a relay? Im assuming the relay is as it sounds, albeit I can’t...

    Perfect - thank you. Unclear paths on public rights of way really piss me off! Genuinely thought about complaining about a few, sad as that is.

    Richard Keogh

    I would have him back, he was one of the few to show any level of performance and commitment during a few years of weak squads. If he is anywhere near the same level he wild add to the team, on and off the pitch. Car crash aside, he’s a good leader and a nice bloke too.

    Running

    I much prefer country roads, bridal paths, canal towpaths etc. Only downside is sometimes the public footpaths turn out to be not runnable/maintained or are through a field full of cows! Could you post the route? Always looking for new parts to explore and it’ll be reassuring to know the routes...

    Running

    I’ve mentioned a few times the best part of running for me is planning the route and finding to find new sections/footpaths to incorporate and explore. However I did what I’m calling a “free” run today; no route, no time, no mileage set, just ran and relied on my knowledge of the area, as well...

    Does that mean the stretch from The Greyhound to Shilton isn’t great? Never explored that section but was/is on my to do list.

    Recommend a beer

    Was instructed to pick something up for dinner on the way home so nipped into the first supermarket I saw; Lidl. As always I checked out the alcohol section and was pleasantly surprised by the craft beers. I picked up two I’d never heard of: Steam Brew - Session IPA Lock Lomond - Bravehop The...
