They’re such a weird bunch. By far the weirdest fanbase in the EFL. Even worse than Wrexham if that’s possible.

Fucking hell Wrexham fans are going to be proper arrogant wankers this year , only a few years ago they were non league now their fans think their Real Madrid, they will be in for a shock this is the championship

Hope Sunderland do what Burnley did and handout lifetime bans for those that went on the pitch last night. Especially those celebrating in the faces of our players. Classless club.

Shame, because as i said I met and spoke to a good few friendly fans last night.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Wright had an off game.. it happens.. end of!

Sorry he bottled every challenge and tackle for 180 + minutes

Having an off game is when things don't quite come off for you. He just wasn't up for it

There were a load in the Globe in London the other year, ( we were at QPR), this was after they'd beat us in the cup, and they were sound.

Blues fans will be far more unbearable than Wrexham fans. I get Wrexhams owners being the main characters, its all kind of built on that, but Wagner seems to see himself as the main character too which is embarrassing and Blues fans absolutely gobble it up.

 

[shmmeee]

Over the entire season yeah, we went through that patch under robins where we were conceding atleast two a game. Havent got the stats but feels like it shored up a bit after frank?

19 in 14 (1.35pg) under Robins I make it.
37 in 31 (inc PO) (1.19pg) under Lampard

im manually counting while in a meeting so may be off tho

I can't remember properly but didn't Wagner give a team talk when they went up for a runner up medal making the other team wait to collect theirs?

Remember Brady calling Brum a franchise like a team in the NBA or NFL

Apologies if it's been mentioned, but did anyone else see this

Thought I missed the goals Weird as fuck...PUSB

Aggregate score. Had to think about it at the time.

 

[Tealeaf]

Apart from 2 foul throws. Tats never stopped running and working, he was all over the pitch.

Tats got confused with taking a throw in with throwing a dart

 

[TomRad85]

Just a quick one to add and this seemed like the thread. I think Le Fee might be the most overhyped Championship signing of all time. Nice name though.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Wright can get sold tomorrow.

He's a fucking joke.

I don't like to criticise our players but I think you're right, the head he missed at the end of normal time, criminal, it would have won us the game.

 

[Para1140]

Have to say the worst thing about last night was seeing the amount of ice cream vans being hoyed over the stand at the poor children below

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

How the fuck has Haji missed that

Wright had an off game.. it happens very often.. end of!

 

[Pezza]

Wright was awful and he has been for weeks now. I actually think he is completely shot and has zero confidence. He looked slow, weak, no control, at times fell over with nobody near him... really bad. I'd also love to compare Sheaf and Grimes in terms of pass completion, I'd imagine it's laughable.

I'll also add that if memory serves... BTA ran up a blind alley into about 4 Sunderland players in the center of the pitch, lost it and that led to the cross, that led to the last minute corner and winner. The lack of control and football intelligence at times this season by the same players has been so irritating.

But I am genuinely proud in the main, some players even surprised me in recent weeks (JDS) AND Kitch to mention a couple of names.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Free fucking header

Yeah Haji Wright just standing watching him.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Kitching nowhere near his man. Gives him a free header 5 yds out and still they get lucky when it hits the bar and goes in. We’ve been the best team by far over the 2 legs. Wrights performance was appalling over both games.

Harsh, when a centre half comes up for a corner, especially in the last minutes of the game, our centre forward should be marking him.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Let's be honest we'll have the 10% Gyokeres money. Reckon that'll be at least £5m (hopefully more).

It's been reported in the Daily Mirror, Arsenal are signing Gyokeres for 60 million in the summer.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Thought ultimately injuries screwed us. Dovin changed our form when he settled down. Haji, EMC, Eccles and Asante took an age to come back and Haji is still looking to get his form back. Torp is missed and Thomas was limping at the end so not fully fit.

Injury screwed us again, it seems to happen every year, Errrrrrrrrrrrrr.

You need more quality in depth to push a full season.

BTA lost us a goal doing that earlier in the season, can't remember the game.
He's got the brain of a grasshopper, Simms and Wright have the heart of one.

Haha so yes i was right it shored up a whole 0.16pg

Watch that run up a blind alley and you’ll spot Wright not moving a single yard to give him a passing option. I remember it so vividly it drove me fucking insane

Dovin was the biggest loss.

Wonder what it was for the spell we played 5ATB

 

[shmmeee]

Dovin was the biggest loss.

Controversial but Dovin plays the last two and we’re in the final.

It's not controversial, I think most would agree.
Though I think, probably more controversially, if Wilson hadn't come in we might not have made it, or at best it would have been over Friday night.

Yeh, I think the defence is ok now we’ve decided on Thomas and Kitchen. We are capable of controlling the midfield and in Rudoni we have a very good player in the making. Our problem is upfront as evidenced by us losing a game last night which we controlled for large parts.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

 

[SkySportsBlues]

Given that we're not playing in it now, will Sky even be *showing* the final?

 

[Nuskyblue]

Did you hear his post-match interview? Thought it was classy to be fair.

Apparently he's a lovely bloke, he's just a about fucker once he steps over the white line.we could use some of that devilment ourselves!

It will have been all worked out who was marking who before the game. We also do a mix of man marking and zonal at corners / free kicks. Neither got near to Ballard but clearly Kitchings man looking at the replay.
