The result against Bolton was down to individual errors but as a team we didn’t deserve to loose imo but yesterday was purely down to a poor team performance and we got what we deserved. Both Bolton and Charlton are not going to set the pace this season they are nothing special and if we don’t pick up points against these sort of teams then we run the risk of getting relegated. It’s as simple as that. However I do feel that there’s lots of room for improvement once we get a settled team and formation.

Why, was he carded or did he get involved in another scuffle?

Booked for enthusiastically clapping one of our players. The referee misinterpreted it as sarcasm aimed his way for another sh*t decision.

I'm sorry but that's just a load of old fanny, if ever I've heard some.

Perkins looks like he didn’t want to get his socks dirty and won’t get stuck in, the other new guy looks more like a bodybuilder, Dan A isn’t a CF imo would be better out wide, Sweeney laid the ball on for the goal because he can’t use his right foot and the tackle he made should have been with his right foot. Beckles is now a liability he has no pace whatsoever,Pratley would have been a better option at CB (just). Donnelly should never had started so now I’m wondering whether if he has a clause in his contract to make sure he starts. To many subs were brought on to quickly so we lost continuity. Desperately need a LB with pace as I think we lack pace throughout the team. If we play like that against Brum we will get tonked

So much wrong with this I can’t even be bothered to point it all out.

Yep. The highlight for me was a defender not being able to block with his weaker foot

Hoover Attack wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2024 11:46 am Why do people only ever notice left footed players as being one footed? It's bizarre.

I have literally never heard that accusation levelled at a right footed player.

You don’t really understand football do you beginning to think your a WUM too. Firstly that was a right footed challenge secondly all football players should kick with both feet or at least be able to make a challenge with either. And lastly if Sweeney had been nearer to the player he would have caught him and would have given away a penalty.

Every line of that is gobbledegook.
