To be fair if wright doesn’t touch that the defender could clear it off line - likewise simms the other night - he didn’t know the defender behind him gave up so didn’t want to take the chance of him clearing it. Come on city

Loads of teams do it, it’s about not conceding. How you then break from them is the key - we’re probably not quick enough getting out. just read something online - 26 of the 32 teams are the World Cup did it, brought everyone back for corners.

having watched Collins since he came in, I don’t think there’s really much between him and Wilson. Distribution wise sometimes there have been moments where I thought Collins could have got it upfield quickly and he didn’t, but other times where him getting it out has led to a goal for us. So...

We’ll be top half easy. I reckon good enough for top 8 if we don’t get hit with injuries….. playoffs might be a stretch but never say never. Wright top scorer with 15. That would be good given the turnover of personnel.

Potentially but he’s got to give those players minutes so they’re ready when needed. I think they may have learnt from last time though. That game still winds me up - everything that could have gone wrong for us did…. The early goals, Tavares injury, penalty and red card, hit bar three...

Yeah I think Oxford we’ll see the current bench starting I reckon. Wilson in goal, fadz, Kelly, Ayari, Bidwell starting. I fancy he’ll have Obikwu as the striker on bench with Tavares. but certainly strong enough to win.

We’ve had enough rough decisions go against us this season so I’m not fussed by that - he’s been due one to go for him.

I wondered this recently, pretty sure it’s his right but the fact he’s more than comfortable using both is great for a forward. I wondered last night whether he was teasing the defender into thinking he’s always going on his left and then maybe cut in on his right, as Boxing Day and the game...

Hearing fans on way out “wright is shit/useless etc”… So he goes down soft for a pen that lets be honest most players would have (touch was probably too strong going out of play), he then sets up a goal with some great work, and then his one real clear chance he heads wide - should get on target...

Generally Allen does a lot of the covering for wright I think when they get down our left. had a hand in all three goals yesterday - took out O’Nien (well, was taken out by him) to allow o hare to get in, cracking assist for the second and held off the defender for palmers. I agree his...

Daniel Farke not bitter at all…. Did a number on them ultimately….

Kitching loves it - speaks really softly but well up for it on pitch. Stands up to anyone. trouble with Micky Doyle was sometimes he was too obvious with it, slapping players on back etc. left a foot in once on zoltan gera and he got sent off.

Torquay away fa cup game behind goal. Next to us. Guy in his 40s…. Starts on a young steward, gives it the “do you know who I am”. then a couple of seasons later in corporate seats I get up and have a go about the ref penalising what I thought was a strong but fair tackle from Gary Gardner...

I think the first replay shows the defender wins the ball first (just), hence why it flicks backwards thru his legs, and then O’hare’s leg is caught on his as he slides and he goes down after. Not a foul for me. Certainly not a ‘stonewall’ penalty. we’ve had clearer pens not given than that...

Actually it looks like the defender does get the ball from one angle.

He sort of put his hands out but I think more out of frustration that it didn’t come to anything. That’s what I thought at the time. He’s not screaming for it, more half-hearted I felt. everyone just carried on - Sakamoto puts his arm up but then just cracked on with it. edit: just watched it...

For me the only people appealing for a pen were the fans….even around me. I don’t even think O’hare is asking for one, it’s frustration. Not one player appealed for it from what I remember - which probably tells its own story.

Did hear some fans on the way out still criticising him afterwards, particularly for the offside run in injury time. That was disappointing but Christ what are some of us expecting from our players. The coaching is starting to show which is something Robins alluded to in his interview.

Yeah the kiss to the away fans…. 🤣

Think tonight solved the left foot/right foot debate, for me. I’d say he’s predominantly right footed, always gonna look to cut inside. He’s a good player there, adjusting to Championship life. It’s coming… Jeez if Viktor scored all the chances he had last season where he went alone or was put...
