Can’t get nervous about something you can’t influence… I’m just glad the fuckers back

And if we lose it doesn’t matter - we lost more than 1/3 of our matches last season and made it

Portsmouth away ?

Think it was. Can't guarantee my memory these days though

Ding ding ding! 10 points.

No - its just a football game. We will lose somewhere between 10-20 games this season. If we get mauled by the tigers so be it, weve all seen much, much worse. I just try to enjoy each game (easier said than done) and am happy with us being stable and competetive.

That said we are long overdue our time in the sun.

He's done the same move several times in both games but got away with it. If he keeps doing the same thing it will happen again.

You'd think that's something that's pretty easily solved by the coaching staff just saying if in doubt whack it but not sure anyone has much confidence in the goalkeeping coaches.

He's has hardly been coached by us at all so far and came with the reputation of being good with his feet.

So I suspect it is part of his style of play.

I mean you’re right… but he’s only played 2 games. This comment is fine if we were 10 games in…. Not 130 minutes.

let’s hope that it’s out of his system now

You have going to the dentist nervous and you have splash mountain in Disneyland nervous, both are going into the unknown especially if you are an eight year old kid and your dentist is in Gosford green and is in his sixties with shaking hands but is a family friend so you can't change. Excitement vs scary nervous?
I'm old now so avoid both and watching city honestly scares the crap out of me, I have always been a radio person so on a Saturday I will tune in and listen and avoid the last 10-15 minutes of the game and turn back on 10-15 minutes after the game and listen to the FL interview.

Hull will tell us a lot I think. At Stoke last season it felt like the players had bought into the hype we were getting and thought that just going through the motions would get the win. I’d hope we start quickly, have more than one route to goal and have every player looking hungry to secure their place in the team. It’s a game we should be winning if we’re a serious playoff contender.

Cannot be arsed spending another September/October flirting with the relegation zone either.

Captain Dart · 2025-08-04T21:54:06+0100

Hope I'm wrong but I think a nervous draw is on the cards (followed by the inevitable forum meltdown).

I'd agree with your challenge on the last 12 games, Rudoni is brilliant but he went missing in the play offs, and like you say we rarely saw the best of him away from home.

He will play in PL at some point.

But for awkward bounces of the ball right in front of goal in the second game Rudoni would have scored. He did score in the first play off match.
What went missing was our luck.

Perennial Lurker · 2025-08-04T22:33:05+0100

We are going to be fine , even if/when MvE goes we still have a very competitive squad .
Lampard and the recruitment team know we need a centre back and I can see us buying a young right back to compete / back up to KKH .
Still think there will be 1-2 players leaving permanently before the end of August and replacements will already be being found.
Will be interesting to see how we utilise the loan market and what areas we target .

All in all the squad is in a good place and will be strengthened further before the window closes

quinn1971 · 2025-08-04T22:38:03+0100

, expect us to carry on where we left off, we won’t be pretty to watch, hard to beat at home and hopefully we find a way to pick up more points away, top 6 at least

The Battle of the Goalies it should be billed as.
Let's see!

Sunderland ratings

Grimes motm Sheaf, Wright and bta should be ashamed. Mve, same as against Plymouth but he had collins in goal to get the abuse. What was he thinking? He could transfer just put it down the line.

Player ratings v Sunderland

Sakamoto can hold his head up. So can grimes. Wright is a fucking embarrassment, not effort, half hearted, pathetic. If Collins was in goal he would get pelters, Wilson stuck to his line for the cross they got their corner from and from the corner.

Is it me or does FL seem more twitchy & nervous in the last couple of after-match interviews by the way?

I think it'll be a 2-2 anyway - just got a feeling

Prob seen how we’ve started the last 3 seasons, no pressure frank

Earlsdon-Loyal-Blue · 2025-08-04T23:42:40+0100

The least excited I’ve felt for a season since the 16/17 season. I’m probably one of the few but it feels like with Robins and AV gone, the dream and the journey has gone. Even after losing in the FA Cup Semi, I couldn’t wait for the next season.

None of the signings (or outgoings!) this summer have given me any excitement and we still look as impotent as a eunuch upfront.

I haven’t caught the Lampard buzz either. It feels like some of our fans get excited because of his name from when he was a player… but it’s like dating the fittest girl from your school - 20 years on and now she’s got 4 kids and put on 10 stone.

I don’t get the excitement for a play off spot either after Luton and Sunderland and we definitely don’t have the attacking power for the top 2.

Really hope the enthusiasm comes back and we have a good season, just not feeling the excitement like I did since our rise from League 2.

5 days left until 23 lads who don’t know I exist determine my mood for the next 9 months of my life.

You've put an ad out for 23 random blokes to make your other half pregnant at the end of the week?
