    Finally settled!...........

    Due to buy a ‘project’ house with my ex; perfect area, and an absolute bargain but we split up a week before completion. Completely changed tactics and fairly impromptu bought on my own off plan. As did the girl I was sort of seeing at the time. Mine was built before hers and she moved in...

    Pleased we’ve shown some fight the last 15 or so. Hopefully it’ll give some belief to the players that when they step up they can compete. As someone else said earlier when we first went 0-2 down it was very much heads down.

    Fair play to McCallum he’s done really well since coming on, especially out of position. I’d prefer him there to Pask. Can’t be good for Pasks confidence playing at RWB and struggling.

    Why are we taking a striker off for Shipley. Surely it’s best to at least go for it, rather than hold onto a 0-2 defeat. So frustrating, if we were 0-2 down after 30 minutes then it’s unfortunately justified, but to be 2 down so quickly into the second half after we had started to pick it up...

    Shipley coming on. Hopefully for Allen (who I like but has been wasteful on the ball).

    I wasn’t one to want McCallum bought in to replace Giles as I like him, but he hasn’t seemed on it today. That slip cannot be helped, but if he confidence is a bit shot for some reason that won’t help.

    Fucking hell. Ridiculous time for Giles to slip.

    Much better finish to the half. We aren’t as intimidated anymore and are actually looking to play football and players are wanting the ball. Bakayoko and Godden have been fairly quiet, let’s hope second half they can get more involved. I have been critical of Sheaf, but last 5/10 he stepped up...

    We look a completely different team - great passing and movement again. McFadzean has been a stand out for me so far.

    Great bit of football and we easily break through. All came from McFadzean interception - one of a few good tackles/interceptions he has made - he’s looked really good.

    Sheaf and Allen aren’t even offering on the rare occasions we do get the ball or Marosi looks to go short. Again, we should be looking to go direct, they are pressing a lot and Bakayoko/Godden/COH could cause issues and there is space behind. The issue is I’m not sure who has the vision to pick...

    It’s like we’re playing in slow motion, we look awful; no style or pattern to our play. And when we do get the ball we give it away. CM is a pivotal role and right now Sheaf is not good enough to play it on his own. I actually wouldn’t mind us going direct and missing the midfield out, we have...

    To be fair I’ve been present at the birth of both of mine - think I’d prefer to be playing football #ladsladslads* *only joking

    They look good but we are not helping ourselves at all, sloppy passing. We look intimidated again.

    Marosi Rose McFadzean Hyam Pask Sheaf Allen Giles O’Hare Bakayoko Godden Or Allen with COH and just Sheaf holding? Big Kelly fan but he’s frustratingly injury prone. It’s a big ask for Sheaf to go from third choice CM to suddenly holding it on his own. Dabo is a massive loss, Pask is good...

    Going to be another tough one today, but I maintain if we can play anywhere near our potential then we have a fighting chance against any team. The thought of Sheaf and Kelly in the middle isn’t the most influential or inspiring, but having Kelly back will add some experience and stability. Not...

    It went quite well - thanks for asking. Especially considering I hadn’t been training for a marathon. Officially my time was ~4:20ish, but I’m classing it as 4, as at mile 21 I hit an overflown river in the middle of a field, with absolutely no way round, so had to get the map out to plan a new...
