See, I think by inviting as many of the opposition up for a corner, you could break and be 3 on 2. We don’t get out anywhere near quick enough though.

I’m nowhere near as offended as you are at the idea of having everyone back for corners/defensive set pieces (and assume part of the thinking is to give opportunity for a quick break), but someone of Simms’ nature should be front post at corners and in the wall for a FK. Wouldn’t even say he’s...

I’ve often thought if we actually walked out to the trumpets/cornets bit at the start it’d work quite well. Quiet enough and doesn’t get you engaged straight away to stop chanting and start singing along. Then obviously it kicks up.

The fucking brass neck on him trying to argue with the ref.

Should be focusing on the positives but thought Bidwell was dreadful last night. For a player with a reputation as a decent defender he’s so passive and sits horrendously narrow at times.

Is that you Mark?

Bomb Scare Bobby. I genuinely thought he looked good on the ball last season, absolutely fucking diabolical in the 130 minutes so far this season.

If it doesn’t it’s not the end of the world - we’ve still had some money from Sporting for the ‘option’ in the deal. I’d imagine his sell-on has been reduced to 5% because of this.

Suppose the caveat to that is at L1 you don’t really get the standout teams that are going to average 2-2.2 points per game from the off.

I’ve not been able to watch the game back but my impression was the midfield was hampered by a lack of vertical ‘depth’ i.e. wingers sitting too deep and too wide. The lack of movement from both Allen and Torp wasn’t great either - you want each of them to be providing an easy out to the other...

It’s a shame that we can’t start negotiations until Vik moves.

He’ll have kicked off about transfers. They’ve only spent about £750k and brought two ‘so-so’ loans in.

It intrigues me no one has taken Adem Zorgane from Charleroi.

Annoyed.

See, I think if you’ve got Sheaf/Eccles in place of Allen then Torp is fine. At the moment thee isn’t the ‘safe’ options because Allen is all over the place positionally.

Bidwell also quietly having a bit of a stinker.

The amount of unpunished holding going on is doing my fucking head in

Always concerning when the linesman flags for a throw in rather than an offside.

Allen unsurprisingly not much of a defensive shield.

If we don’t score 5 I’ll be annoyed.
