    Listen To Me Just Hear Me Out

    I understand why the question is being asked; I’m still incredibly frustrated with Saturdays result and that has happened too many times this season. However, it absolutely isn’t the time for MR to go. My pre match posts for the last two and a bit seasons have pretty much revolved around the...

    Transfer Rumour McCallum.....

    I think I’m missing something with McCallum. There’s no doubt he has potential and his improvement from last season is significant and impressive, but is he really that special to be linked with a Premier league move after half a season of regular first team games? That isn’t a criticism of...

    General Election 2019 thread

    Anyone watching the channel 4 ‘alternative’ coverage? I think it’s supposed to be a light hearted parody, but not sure it’s hitting the right notes. Some of the skits have been awful. Re the result (assuming exit polls are correct), I think a toxic combination of Brexit and Corbyn is to blame.

    I like Mason, always have, and I think he’s a better option than McCallum overall. Saying that, I actually thought McCallum was the only one to come out with any credit in the first half and looks increasingly assured on the ball. I don’t agree with Bakayoko. I’m a big Biamou fan, but Bakayoko...

    Decent result in the end, albeit I can’t stop replying the Allen chance at the end and the difference that would have made. Although objectively a draw is fair, we looked completely outclassed first half and I was genuinely worried we were going to be on the end of a thumping, but second half we...

    We’re looking a lot better. However I’d like to see Allen play 10, it isn’t suited to Westbrooke and he isn’t on it today as it is. Hoping the scuffle and our better performance has riled us up. They look vulnerable at the back.

    Big bust up on the sideline, not sure what happened but for all his faults fair play to Kasteener he was straight in there defending McCallum.

    Grendel come on, even for someone who uses misdirection all the time you know that’s a stretch. Is that really what I said? Although I will say something I’m sure you’ll like; Biamou is having a poor game, he’s not holding it up enough or linking play. He’s being bullied.

    We’ve gone 4-2-3-1 with Baka left wing, Westbrooke centre and O’Hare right. Couod be temporary until HT.

    I do actually yes. We’re making him look very very good by giving him too much space. He’s obviously a decent enough L1 player, but I wouldn’t say he’s technically strong.

    Why has nobody gone through Keane yet? McFadz redeeming feature is is leadership and experience but he isn’t showing either so far. It’s not just him obviously but he should have got hold of Keane early.

    This is the worst I’ve seen us play. It’s the formation and team lots of us would have chosen but we’re just not up for it. We look intimidated. Really really poor so far.

    We aren’t coping well with the pressure at all. Nor are they but they are doing to all the time whereas we aren’t. I’m not a McFadz hater but he is looking absolutely average as it Hyam. We have two up front, the ball really should be sticking.

    Hyam and McFadz being schooled by Keane so far. They can’t get near him, and he really isn’t technically very good.

    It’s four v three at times for them against us at the back. Hyam with an awful pass. Their pressure is working, but it should mean more space in midfield/attack to exploit. Westbrooke looks a little off so far too.

    Massive let off, poor communication between Rose and McFadz and they had a free man in front of goal. We are looking to move the ball quickly, but they are matching us. We’re giving Keane way too much time. Tehy are pushing 4 on us every time, so it’s hard for the defenders but should mean...

    Ipswich are not letting us play out from the keeper - 3/4 attacking players around our box stopping the short ball. We’re working round it we’ll though so far.

    Seems busier than usual, however the downside is fans who are clueless - I’ve already heard a ‘get it forward’ and slagging off of Baka. We’re 2 minutes in. Idiots.

    So essentially we’re all right in our own way. Different perspectives for different needs.

    Strong team and bench. Very excited to see two up front with O’Hare in behind. Attacking line up = definite victory. Surprised no Walsh in the squad so I assume injury or he’s definitely going back in Jan so phasing him out?
