Re: MATCHWATCH : Millwall (a)

Sorry, but I don’t subscribe to this ‘fatigue’ excuse. I read somewhere once that on average the ball is in actual play for around 58-60 minutes per game. Even if everyone had a fair share, it means they are physically in contact with the ball for about three minutes per game. Obviously some do more...

Re: Next Manager

Got to say, watching QPR v Forest tonight, what a major turnaround Steve Cooper has managed at Forest. Few weeks back Forest played exactly our style - the slow and obvious lumbering build up, no intensity, no press, no entertainment. Now they are playing direct, fast pass and entertaining football ...

Re: Pauno out

Quite happy to carry on backing Pauno - but what I will not put up with is this Orwellian bullshit of revisionism. What we witnessed yesterday was dire, and telling us it was something else, makes him look incompetent and is an insult to the people who went and witnessed it. At least be truthful. If...

Re: BFTG - Coventry (A)

What an absolute shit show. For the most part it was a game without any quality between two crappy teams, but second half really was eye-opening, we were torn apart time and time again and were justifiably beaten even if the stoppage time was controversial. That being said we fcuking deserved it, f...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol City (h)

Now that John has gone;who exactly is responsible for our defensive set up ?Quite rightly Moore and Morrison have been criticised on here;but how bad was T Mc ?Tom Holmes must be wondering why he can’t get a game; albeit he plays on supposedly our stronger right side. If Ejaria is not back to hold ...

Re: BFTG - Brizzle

After Saturday’s showing, I thought we’d dropped the tedious slow passing around the back four and at last realised that sudden bursts of speed broke down defences But no, as proven by Sky sports stats tonight. The back four had 374 touches, 271 passes , 1 key pass. Puscas in 77 minutes - 13 touches...

Re: BGTF Coventry

My take on the game is this. We were 7 points clear pre game Friday night. We started the game in a playing style of a team in about 16th position. Cagey, no intensity and a lot of misplaces passes. They also didn’t seem to have the team bonding they’d gained. At this point they should have been ful...

Re: Squad for 2020/21

Just asking but with Osho going who will now be the back up for Yiadom once he starts playing again, Does this also suggest playing 5 - 3 - 2 more often and a midfielder backing up the right wing back position? Is this also the same issue at left back with Obita and Blackett going, and presumably us...

Re: BFTG - Baggies

What is that ludicrous ‘plan’ that we’ve witnessed over the last few weeks concerning Swift taking a corner and Obita standing two feet away? 99% of the time Swift still takes one of his ‘hit first man’ efforts which means Obita is wasting his time and could be actually in the box doing something us...

Re: BFTG - Forest

That's why you should never leave! I think the Forest goal did go out but to be fair to the linesman it would have been imposible for him to spot from his position. If he can't see it he can't give it. At least justice was done and it turned an ordinary afternoon in to a memerable one. Ref was terr...

Re: BFTG - Blackpool

Full credit to Bowen for giving the first 11 a fullly deserved break. 4 days rest I believe. Considering Blackpool fielded their strongest team. In that context the make shift team today including the substitutions weren't awlfull. Biggest concern is the lack of depth in the squad. Fair number play...

Re: BFTG - Blackpool

If the phone caller was, say a plumber, you would have most likely said “there’s some guy (or bloke) on the radio says we should have picked the first team”. So was the problem really in what he said, or the fact he was a company director? Just asking. I think he was trying to compare running his c...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Nottingham Forest (a) sponsored by Neil Webb

My point is (after getting a lovely parking spot on Victoria embankment grrrr....) is that why doesn’t the EFL ever give any consideration to the travelling fans. It would be obvious that most RFC supporters would have had left at 10 at the latest, so why do an inspection at 12? They had already dec...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Swansea City (a) sponsored by Andy Legg & Jason Bowen

Not seeing a great manager in Gomes. However, it’s not his fault a goalkeeper can’t hold onto a ball, strikers that can’t score from 5 yards, midfielders who can’t pass accurately to someone from 5 yards. They have no speed and are unable to press the opposition which every successful club does. It’...

Re: BFT whatever the hell that was

So what are the tactics or game plan, I have no idea. However, my questions are..... 1) Why does Rafael pass the ball from a goal kick to someone under pressure five yards away rather than to someone standing in open space on the other side of the pitch? 2) When it’s a corner, it is usual to put the...
