On the upside, there may be some scores left unsettled from the skirmish after the final whistle up at Stoke and there’s some windmilling handbags, pushing and shoving nonsense to spice things up. Pretty sure Captain Jack can stoke up some needle (no pun intended).
I missed much of the first half due to finishing work in Oswestry at 6pm - but driving home listening to Radio 5 they were talking about both of last nights games. When discussing ours they had what sounded like a press conference clip of Maresca talking about liking the way we play and can see a plan we execute well - as the game went on, thinking back on that, I thought "yes - and you have worked out a way of counteracting it".
Aside from thinking the players have resigned themselves to the play-offs, I don't think their fitness is where it should be.
Fat chance of those 4 getting anymore of a feel of the pitch - aside from the warm up and at half time - thats if they even get picked.
Glad I have been invited to go and play golf on Saturday - at least I can influence how shit I play.
Part of VAR is to correct clear and obvious errors, yes I know corners and throw-ins being reviewed would make games last days, but that penalty review and outcome, to me, shows how flawed the whole thing is.
In the Chelsea City game there was the penalty review with Grealish (?), it hit his hand and went out, it clearly hit his hand in all the reviews but deemed not a penalty………..after which City got awarded a goal kick, yet everyone on the planet saw the ball off Grealishs hand and out for a Chelsea corner.
