How do you find your first post!?!

With a bit of difficulty, I remembered a key word to search for that would be from roughly when I signed up.

Westwood WAS playing at Sunderland (after injury to Mignolet) and doing well....Westwood fell ill for a game and Mignolet had to play in a protective mask...did well and kept his place.
I'm sure everybody can see now exactly how good he was/is. Unsure as have not checked the press why he didnt feature this weekend in their squad.
In my opinion he IS a better GK than Mignolet.

Look at your join date, go into search, then advanced search. Choose older than to get the format, but doesnt go past 2015. Then key in a month after you joined and go back from there.

In trophies there is one for first post, so I guess you could just look for that date.

I can't get it to work anyway.

Tried typing in the date of my first post (in both older than and newer than in case I was misunderstanding) but all I ever get it my most recent posts.

The start of this season is very like the start of last season - we looked poor with this exact 4-2-3-1 system and I'm amazed MR has gone back to it. One thing I admired about MR last season was that he had the nerve to admit it wasn't working and ditch the system (admittedly only due to injuries). I can only hope that this season progresses like last season did.

Last season we ironically only improved after season ending injuries to Jones and Andreu forced MR to eventually change the system to more of a 4-4-2. This gave Bayliss (and Kelly) more freedom to get forward and create (giving the opposition things to think about, pushing them back and relieving pressure on us defensively) and a partner to create space for McNulty. All of them thrived.

2 DCM and 1 up top means the three play deeper and the lone forward is isolated. This season I think is even worse because LOB doesn't come off his line at all, so the defence is deeper and thus everyone in front has to drop even deeper too. We're encouraging the opposition to push out and put us under pressure. That lets them create chances and gives them confidence, while we drop even deeper to try and stem the flow of chances creating a vicious circle.

This system is designed to be solid defensively, soak up pressure and hit on the counter , meaning strikers aren't going to get many chances and need to stick the few that come away. If you've not got strikers with particularly great strike ratios or clinical finishers (as we seem to have) it puts a lot of pressure on the team defensively to not concede as they've not got faith in the strikers to put the ball away. So they're edgy, nervous and more likely to make an error due to it.

We're playing a system that doesn't play to the attributes of any of our strikers, puts a leash on Bayliss' (and Kelly's when he's fit) creativity and passing and puts immense pressure on the defence to keep a clean sheet all while not being very attractive or entertaining to the fans. Just how is this going to work?

Ta.

Just realised it reads it US style so MM/DD/YYYY.

Quite surprised. Thought it'd me arguing with Grendel

I know who LBB is but not really fair for me to 'out' him on here

Is he actually on here as a regular poster?!

Not that I'm aware of, but he still reads it as he's commented to me about things on here.

Here's mine.

I joined two weeks after you Edgy.

My first post was regarding a favourite match and I mentioned our 5-1 against Liverpool, and the 4-3 against Spurs in the Cup Final Winning Season.

 

[edgy]

My second post was slightly more upbeat. Asking for Superbomber Man and Bubble Bobble to be added to the Arcade.

Best nickname of mid-90s players who played for Cov and Swansea?

My favourite footballer nickname I think I've mentioned on here before, was for Fitz Hall who they called 'One Size'

More or less spot on!

I was correcting him being mis-named as merely “The Postman”…Which I would love if it was a strange homage to a 2nd/3rd rate mid-90s Kevin Costner film…but ours was definitely of the flying variety.

Edit: now I think about it this would have been impossible given that the KC film probably happened after JWs time with us.

We all do, I think, though not heard him phone into CWR for a long time. I remember he had another account he used to back himself up with. Gave himself away and never came back.

Recall him giving a talk at the Squirrel in a Trust meeting. Curiously there was no balloon talk there.

Yes, that was the phrase he slipped up on.

It’s also interesting how certain posters were always up his arse when he was taken on

NTFC Official Statement re:ACL

I'm sure I've read somewhere that this was the case? No problems to be proven otherwise. Just going by what I hear. That is a major problem we have. We have people like Grendull who make up facts and then others take it as the truth.

Feels much longer ago than it actually was. I only spoke to him in person once, without realising.

I said in that same Squirrel meeting that SISU did the Northampton move to bust ACL. Most people there thought I was wrong, I was proven right in time.
