Also bailed Rushworth out, is he shite too?
Do you actually believe what you type or do you think it makes you edgy?
How does the defence both bail itself out often and have the ball come nowhere near them most of the game?It helps that the ball comes nowhere near them most game. This is the Ben Wilson defence really.
You're arguing with a man who once failed to pay for his season ticket.How does the defence both bail itself out often and have the ball come nowhere near them most of the game?

I agree we all have players we prefer / rate etcI just don’t particularly rate Kitching or Thomas defensively. Never have. Everyone has players they don’t rate at something. I have no idea what @edgy thinks.
The words were ‘often’ and ‘most’. This is a bit bizarre, aren’t you a data scientist? Why aren’t you trusting what the data tells you?Well most isn’t all and I’m not sure you’re helping the defence (no pun intended) here.
That doesn't read right here,he belatedly paid for one after missing the early bird or something like that?You're arguing with a man who once failed to pay for his season ticket.
We've conceded 1 more goal than two sides. We've conceded less than the other 21 sides. There's sides that have conceded more than double that we have.I just don’t particularly rate Kitching or Thomas defensively. Never have. Everyone has players they don’t rate at something.

Recently Kitching switched off in the 96th minute at Portsmouth and the guy still had to lob the keeper, and Rushworth hastily went to ground and brought a player down.We've conceded 1 more goal than two sides.

Can you imagine how well we would be doing if we had a couple of decent CB's? We might even be clear at the top of the table by 3 points and have something like +25 GD after just 12 games......
Now back to reality. You're really making yourself sound silly.
I'd much rather watch us than Burnley anyway. Fucking horrible stuff.Recently Kitching switched off in the 96th minute at Portsmouth and the guy still had to lob the keeper, and Rushworth hastily went to ground and brought a player down.
It's going to happen sometimes. Burnley's defensive record last season was an absolute statistical freak, I doubt teams will come close to it for a long time.
This. Their defensive record was due at least in part to their turgid ability to stop trying to play any decent football and see a game out. It was admirable in a way, but horrific to watch.I'd much rather watch us than Burnley anyway. Fucking horrible stuff.
He forgot to pay for the one he wanted and only realised when he didn't get sent a paper ticket via email. He was lucky it wasn't a season where we used the same card. It made me smile.That doesn't read right here,he belatedly paid for one after missing the early bird or something like that?
It's unrealistic to expect any of our players to not make mistakes. But some seem to think they should be perfect every game. Not even the top players in the world are faultless.Recently Kitching switched off in the 96th minute at Portsmouth and the guy still had to lob the keeper, and Rushworth hastily went to ground and brought a player down.

You are right he is not perfect. He has annoying traits as a defender and as a hard man. But he does have qualities and development potential. He is at least decent at this level.I just don’t think he’s a very good defender. It’s not that deep. He does other stuff, but as a CB it’s his defending that concerns me.

I remember Jack Charlton saying how Sir Alf Ramsey phoned him up to say he had made the World Cup England squad. “Now Jack I dont want you thinking you are one of the best in England. You are not, but there is a role you can do for me.”
The best players don’t always make the best team. The right blend of players make the best team.
There has been times I felt he deserved to be out of the team. At the moment I think he deserves to be in the team. But yes the coaches do still need to work with him.
It’s his 5th booking but that included the cup game, and Gurney initially said on radio it meant he’d be banned (but he likely rescinded that comment later) but they only count in the competition they are earned in.I was a bit annoyed that Kitching let himself get wound up by Moore which resulted into the booking. I was watching it being like don’t kick off and he couldn’t help himself.
One card closer to a one game ban.
Don’t know why so many people keep thinking he’s now suspended as it was only his 4th of the season.

so that’s probably why - it’s why I thought it initially before looking into it

A BBC journalist who doesn't know the rules, well I never.
I assume this persona you've taken on recently is an act and you're not really that vile in real life. At least I hope not.Love that these comments are always from some boomer who spends his time commenting under AI videos on Facebook.

It's not a light pop. It was a needless accusation at someone you presumably have never met, stereotyping him simply because his opinion on a reporter differs from yours. Getting to the point it's just weird and you need help.I’m staying away from politics unless it comes over here. But if you think a light pop at someone constantly wanging on about the BBC is vile, it’s probably a you problem.

Honestly shut the fuck up. The majority of BBC journalists are like Rob, providing a public service.A BBC journalist who doesn't know the rules, well I never.
You didn't mention his opinion or tell him why you thought the journalist was right or wrong, you labelled as "always from some boomer who spends his time commenting under AI videos on Facebook."But you’re having a go and calling me vile because my opinion differs from his? I think perhaps the issue is that my opinion differs from yours?
Anyway I’m leaving it here. If people don’t want politics in the football threads don’t start it.
@rob9872 See, some recognition at last!Honestly shut the fuck up. The majority of BBC journalists are like Rob, providing a public service.

I dunno, Bournemouth. Maybe send Gurney and Bailey for that oneIf we do get promoted then the BBC should bring Clive back for next season. He spent years up and down the motorways going to shitty stadiums in the arse end of nowhere in the freezing cold every week.
He would deserve a year in the comfort of Premier League media hospitality!
Ridiculous hyperbole.Love that these comments are always from some boomer who spends his time commenting under AI videos on Facebook.
I think the same about Thomas, but he’s less rash. My worry is the pair of them rile each other up and either would be better with a calmer head next to them. What made Fadz a leader wasn’t him being hard as nails, it was his organisation and how he improved those around him. It’s those traits for me that Kitching (and Thomas) lacks.
