Er, OK Do I get a prize?Let's face it, if Lampard had got involved after the match that could have been a match winner!!! FFS
It's 4th January and that is a contender for the worst post of 2025
Ask me in 5 games , I'm starting to look at the fixtures
Incorrect. Raised in Warwickshire but by the time of the South African campaigns, the 24th foot were very much based in and very much a Welsh regiment.*24th (second Warwickshire) regiment of foot were the primary British who fought at Rorkes drift Evo
Commanded over all at Rorkes drift by a Royal Engineer though - Lt Chard.
We’re playing like a team about to sack their manager not one who has just got a new one in implementing new ideas.
The whole club is just so dislikable right now.
The whole club is just so dislikable right now.
Don’t sell that dream to us then, and exhort us to take up STs and merchandise to fund a more consistent challenge. No more Prem Package for me I’m afraid. I just don’t think the value is there anymore. Supposed to be a hedge against general inflationary rise (which didn’t happen) and a free ST first season back in Prem if in that 5 year window. Just don’t see that happening tbh.
As one of shmmeee’s favourite targets, a boomer pensioner, I am obviously loaded. Except I’m not. I really will have to think very carefully about just how much money I can afford to spend on something which st the moment isn’t all that enjoyable most of the time.
Yes, I went to Sixfields, but I enjoyed the football. Wilson and Clarke. I enjoyed the time at Birmingham as well. Im just not enjoying this season, at all.
As LiquidGold says above, the whole club is just so dislikable right now. That’s got to be a worry, surely?
It wasn’t the south wales borderers at that point it was B company of 2nd batt 24th Royal Warwickshires of which I have read as little as 11% were actually Welsh but others saying near 20%
Realistically though, concede two goals away from home and you’re going to lose an away game most of the time.
I do agree the quality of the forward line yesterday was an issue as well though.
Was our highest XG conceded and big chance conceded of the season yesterday apparantly
They were all over us
Personally I don't think we were that bad until later part of 2nd half which by that you could see it coming, eccles again rubbish...Allan with little game time and skill did try but not good enough but more effort from the team with good link up in places but we need new bodies in desperately
First 10 mins we were quite poor, after we scored we looked comfortable until half time.
After half time we got outplayed. Defended well for a little while. Then it was all quite last ditch. Had a couple of chances on the counter and did nothing with them.
Allen was good, but leaving him out on the pitch to crucify himself after hardly playing suggests Lampard didn’t trust Torp to come on and play a disciplined game.
Are they not a very good home side and a very poor away side? Which is the reason they are mid table I suppose.
Which makes a change from us dominating possession and out scoring teams on 'xg' every other game?
Until 90 minutes, I was more content with that performance than any other for a while. We showed fight and grit.
Both Robins and Lampard have been extremely unlucky in a lot of games this season.
So to be clear you're happy to be battered and last ditch defend all game in the hope we pull it off and win ?
Like Leicester in the prem sort of thing
I would prefer us to do that than to pass the ball around aimlessly like we've done for months.
It was our joint highest xG conceded yesterday yes.
When we played them at home it was our second lowest xG conceded of the season (still lost, of course).
I'm not sure what the alternative is with the players we have?
We've dominated lots of games and lost this season.
