Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (a)

After that early big miss from Blackpool I thought we played ok and deserved the win. Danny K , albeit up against what looked to be the worst right-back in the division, had a game to remember and was involved in all 3 goals. So , on possession stats it was almost a reversal of last Saturday and ama...

Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Vauxhall Conference League 25/26

A good job Eddie Howe isn't England manager yet :wink: with the next World Cup being across the pond as his record this year for winning games away from home is abysmal.

Re: Rival Watch

Peterborough beating Stockport 2-0 at half-time. Ended 3-0. This division is so open this season. Can't think of a league this open at this stage of the season. A lot will change in the table over the next few months. Take a look at the Championship below Coventry, Div.2 and the Premier League belo...

Re: What to do with the troublesome AM role?

I'd keep Jacob. Dorsett could be needed at CB, either in the case of injury or switching to a back 3. Ryan hasn't impressed me, and whilst he can play there, I'd rather we weren’t relying on Garcia. Yes, both Abrefa and Yids can cover too, but that's starting to stretch things and steal from elsewh...

Re: What to do with the troublesome AM role?

Agree on the loans and would be looking to loan further players out as well - hopefully will give us the space to bring in a decent CF to play the system. Kelvin is always going to split opinions but he’s done reasonably well but still prefer him out wide Not sure when Elliott is back fit (if ever)...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Rotherham United (h)

Obvs people on here and esp crappy Twitter were going to be negative etc after the game, but I’m not totally sure what people were expecting. Suddenly start pinging the ball round like prime Barcelona and smashing every team we come across? Same basic issues are there - lack of a suitable striker, ...

Re: What to do with the troublesome AM role?

It cuts across the thread about what you hate about modern football that we are even talking about a midfielder being a DM , an AM or a 6 or an 8 or a 10. IMHO if you set up with a midfield 3 then those 3 should be capable of performing both attacking and defensive roles. One goes forward, one of th...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Rotherham United (h)

I'm surprised at the negativity here, I actually thought we played quite well. I actually thought we looked a lot better than we had done for a little while. Players getting on the ball and actually driving forwards, instead of just passing it sideways when their path was obstructed by a defender. ...

Re: LOLiverpooLOL - Next Season

Only Wolves, Burnley and West Ham have lost more games in the PL than Liverpool this season. And yet they are only 4 points behind City who people think are having a good season.. From a points perspective it is better to win and lose games rather than draw -they don't do draws. Once again 75% of t...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Rotherham United (h)

Fancy a win. Rotherham are in fine form, but that just means they're due a hiccup. Probably tempting fate here, but I watched the Luton v Rotherham game last Saturday and both teams looked pretty poor. Sherif looked decent as a target man but also went off injured. I read the manager's comments aft...

Re: World Cup 2026

I don't think they will do any good next Summer because of their defence but credit to Steve Clarke and his players for getting there. Our defence has been shocking. Can't imagine someone like Grant Hanley will be playing internationally after the World Cup (probably shouldn't've been featuring in ...

Re: World Cup 2026

Pleased to see Scotland go through and would like (however unlikely) to see Northern Ireland go through as well. Don't care much if Wales make it and don't care at all about Ireland. A very exciting game for the Scots last night and what a 90 minutes by John McGinn who was everywhere I don't think t...

Re: World Cup 2026

They may turn out to be just as bad but hopefully BBC commentators and the (un?)necessary co-commentators will be better at the World Cup than ITV's Matterface and Dixon-they IMHO are even worse than Tyldesley. Yesterday they kept on and on about our record qualifying stats and Dixon just can't stop...

Re: Wales - the future…

A couple of silly bookings for the Welsh in Ampadu and James.

Both apparently will miss their big game on Tuesday when quite a few regulars will also be unavailable through injury With Kieffer Moore possibly being the most significant.
A tense night to come for the Welsh.

How do others feel about our chances of winning next year? I am getting a bit fed up with ITV commentators in most of what they say but in particular their going on and on and on about the expected high temperatures that we will face, forgetting that all the other countries will face the same issue....

Re: Rinomhota CONFRIMED

Not as old as I thought he was by now at 28. It is always a bit worrying when we sign a player who nobody else wants and has been available since May. If he turns out to be almost as good as when here before that will do for 3rd division football and we all like a trier.. It looks as though the mana...
