    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I feared the worst but just googled. I think councils were freed up from ‘having’ to use funds to rebuild social housing….probably blew it down Grosvenor Casino instead by the sound of it https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/right-to-buy-replacement-social-housing-b1820016.html# Edit...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That’s bizarre. Didn’t realise that. What was the reasoning for not allowing replacements to be built ?

    The official NFL Thread

    I feel your pain. I follow saints, the cap magicians, but the cap is finally catching up with them ! Carr might squeak out a half decent season or two but expensive and just kicking the can. Be interesting to see what Flores can do with vikings defence and agree, I think for a 4th round Lance...

    Match Thread Watford (h)

    There’s a fair bit of that I agree with, in particular if/when ohare gets back to his best then I can see Robins starting with Palmer on the bench unless we play box which I think suits palmer a lot better. Palmer is similar to ohare earlier doors with not enough end product/good enough...

    The official NFL Thread

    Wasnt there rumours that you were tempted to go for Trey Lance. Bit of a gamble but might’ve been a decent shout for both Not sure if you watch/listen to Pro Football Talk Tisza but Mike Florio who does it is a big Vikings fan and always has plenty to say about Cousins. Worth checking

    Match Thread Watford (h)

    It’s the determination. Same with Fadz. Not sure if this has been posted already but amazing recovery All the younger lads should be looking at these two examples to show them what it takes to make things happen

    Robins on Lati in midfield

    Early days. Defence has looked ok before Saturday, albeit obviously getting to know each other. Robins wouldn’t have wanted to chop and change unnecessarily but will probably have to now after Saturday, international call ups etc. This is the issue with having half decent players outside first...

    He’s had a stinker. This will hurt him. Cash before kids etc etc.

    Our midfield - do we have problems?

    Or a left footed CB alongside him might help ?! I like Dasilva but do wonder if Robins will stick with two such attacking WBs when we look so open. It’s a whole new defensive unit though which will take time whoever plays there ps Bidwell was shocking yesterday but will put that down to lack...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Agree with all that. Just thinking if people continue to feel poorer and don’t see various things working, that huge swing could happen. Add to that the ‘lending’ of red wall seats, Scotland etc. I think it’s possible….Starmer needs to come up with a clear positive vision for the country though

    Ratings v watford

    That’s where I actually thought sheaf and ayari were as culpable as Eccles yesterday. Losing possession in awful areas with poor/sloppy passing. Same as back three, they kept casually passing it into danger. Hopefully just an off day all round. Agree with yours and others comments that Palmer...

    Nah, he got badly knocked out last time so did the right thing. Be interesting to see what smith says about ankles and if they were an issue (don’t think it would’ve changed result)

    Very good from eubank. Couldn’t miss with jab or most uppercuts. Beat him up

    Our midfield - do we have problems?

    Yeah, early days. Sheaf and Eccles were very good last week but unfortunately struggled as a pair today, a lot due to Watford’s press and our apparent unwillingness to change our style. Our wing backs showed we’ll have threats/creativity from different areas this season.

    Did Robins say if he told them to play it a bit longer when he could see their press causing us issues ?

    Ratings v watford

    He put himself about a lot today. With a bit of luck with final passes being finished off and/or a bit more composure in front of goal, it could’ve been his best game for us.

    I was more concerned with how leaky we were today. Looked a lot more creative than v Sunderland

    Ratings v watford

    I thought the stand out players were Dasilva, MVE, Palmer and Wright. Quality goal by MVE. Wright looked a lot more dangerous and lovely finish by Godden.
