Ah, so tney look like a technically much better side than us. Whenever we're trying to beat their press or move the ball through midfield, everyone looks like they're about to shit themselves in terror as they try to protect and offload the ball. In contrast their passing and movement are for the most part crisp and controlled. This is what Strachan meant when he talked about propaganda football.

I do find it odd that the team completely falls apart without Downes, and yet it seemed far from certain at the time that he wanted to join us. What was the plan if he'd turned us down?

We played much, much better football as recently as the games after the covid season break.

I doubt that Solak would be able to just arbitrarily fire Ankerson. He isn't an employee, he's the founder of a company Solak invested in. I'm sure DS has considerable power at board level, but it won't be as simple as snapping his fingers in displeasure.

Bloody hell, Adams finds the corner with his side foot. Miracles do happen!

Won the title with some cracking goals today, too.

You're genuinely confused as to why a terrible goalie gets more comments than an equally terrible fullback or midfielder?

Was actually a lovely chipped ball to him in the middle with acres of space. As it was floating towards him I allowed myself a tiny glimmer of hope that he'd bring it down, run into the gap and create something. But no, he just shinned it ten yards straight to an Ipswich player.

Well, we're currently 4th in what was meant to be a three horse race. And with a team that looks purpose built to bottle the playoffs the minute they're exposed to any sort of pressure.

As poor a finisher as I've seen in 40 years watching the club. Just reliably awful

Think you might be mixing up Mane's first game with Mane's first season.

This should make a few people feel old - that's Neil Danns' kid who just put 2 past us. Feels like only a year or two ago that people were saying we should sign his dad...

Especially not a loan player.

Rothwell and Manning abject, and the rest not much better.

Got no answer to their press at the moment, and our only out ball is KWP running the length of the pitch. Should make changes now, this is fucking shit.
