They're wrong. Shock.
They're wrong. Shock.I thought he got his 5th yellow of the season against Bristol. That’s what they said on CWR
Buy a nacho hat.Still can’t see past 4 in a row for this one. If we win I’ll eat my hat.

It was never going to sell 5k, 3k is pretty good given our poor start and abysmal record there2800 is a very disappointing following imo.
This is the first chance we've had to take a serious number of fans to an away match since Blackburn over 2 years ago. There's a lot of Cov fans desperate to claim we have massive away support and sell out everywhere but we have even sold half an end. The likes of Leicester, Sunderland, Wednesday etc will sell the end out.
Good opportunity for people moaning to get points too...

It is.Just a real shame. We are limited by small allocations everywhere and the moment we have a big one, we fail to fill half of it.
Not sure O'Hare is ready to start yet. Still seems a bit rusty.We have to shake off the blues. I think O'Hare will start. Godden and Simms up top. Lots of intent. Allen chasing down everyone, Sheaf holding. Eccles alongside. Sako on the bench. milan, kitching, Thomas, Bidwell, Wilson.
I thought Eccles played OK on Monday - far better than Sheaf did…. But both his corner and free kick taking were crap on the night.Playing the box does my head in. It's a literal admission that the recruitment hasn't worked. Play more midfielders that can't score or create (and we didn't even sign any other than one loan who looks out of place), and keep the strikers we've spent a fortune on stuck sitting on the bench. It's a complete waste.
Also the whole bashing of Eccles whilst simultaneously playing up Sheaf is ridiculous. I'm not sure if it is my eyes but I'm sure someone said to play the latter further forward too. Kelly has also made us look much better when he has played, yet he's constantly kicked into the ground as well.
A few losses and I swear we start losing our minds.

Personally, I would go with the same team. I think we have been chopping and changing a bit too much at times.
You don’t have to keep your promises on here. Right Saddlebrains?Still can’t see past 4 in a row for this one. If we win I’ll eat my hat.

Clive was mixing it up with a 2019 game against ScunthorpeI thought he got his 5th yellow of the season against Bristol. That’s what they said on CWR
You say this but we’re conceding silly silly goals constantlyMy most local game of the season (only 60 miles away) and I couldn’t be dreading it more. Really hoping our new signings we have paid big money for can turn the corner but I just can’t see it.
We’re being let down horrifically by our attackers, they don’t look like they’ve played professional football before, nevermind at this level.
I can’t even suggest what formation or tactical changes we can make. Other than Lati - all of our signings look shit. They haven’t complemented the existing squad at all. We’re still reliant on COH/Palmer coming back to have any creativity in the final third.
As a non season ticket holder who wants to see games I'm surprised that more haven't bought a ticket. I know a few that moan about the system which is completely fair who aren't going.It is.
Did you go to Preston is going to be my first question to anyone who complains about points this season.
“Oh no, would’ve done but it was my aunt’s hamsters birthday so couldn’t make it”
Yes, plenty... but it's not for a public forum, sorry.Anyone know if any pubs got it on tv in cov
The problem with Kelly is that he’s almost never fit enough to play, I understand why he was signed but we really should have let him ho and replaced him, especially as he is almost never available to play. Not replacing Hamer is what is costing us, along with spending so much on Wright.Playing the box does my head in. It's a literal admission that the recruitment hasn't worked.

“The start of it is taking the chances to shoot more often, because that for me is as frustrating as any other part of things.
"We've got players that can score goals, they just need to find that half a yard to pull the trigger and have a go. As they say, if you don't buy a ticket, you can't win a raffle."
Guess that makes him a caveman for not favouring the modern trend of trying to pass it in the goal from 3 yardsRobins quote from the Friday press conference:
SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

I think there’s a happy medium to be found between shots we should be taking (Sakamoto deciding to dribble rather than hit it first time when a rebound falls to him inside the area) and those we shouldn’t (thousands of people hollering SHOOOOT at Eccles when the ball is dropping from a great height onto his wrong foot about 30 yards out)Guess that makes him a caveman for not favouring the modern trend of trying to pass it in the goal from 3 yards

Feel the same watching England a lot of the time.Problem is he wants to play five defenders and four midfielders, which isn't only very negative, but all of which are goal-shy. The strikers are our best bet, even though they are stuttering, but now it seems he wants to play just one.
If he wants to score goals he needs to look at his tactics. Also who he is signing. Gyökeres and Hamer were doing a hell of the leg work when the others weren't contributing, and now we are seeing the consequences of their loss.
Played a massive part in getting us to the play off final, I don't recall anyone complaining about him when we beat Middlesbrough at their place.The problem with Kelly is that he’s almost never fit enough to play, I understand why he was signed but we really should have let him ho and replaced him, especially as he is almost never available to play.

He appeared in nearly a quarter of the games last season, and I don't remember us losing many.
And he's appeared in more than half our games so far this season.
The club captain playing in nearly a quarter of games a season says it all.Played a massive part in getting us to the play off final, I don't recall anyone complaining about him when we beat Middlesbrough at their place.
