nice work Stu

he of little faith

your inners don't seem too wise.

for Cov, right?

nope

exhausted. great stuff. love this type of game. well done lad. lots of effort all over the pitch. rode our luck a little, but thats how it goes sometimes. Wednesday was just a blip.

7 minutes of injury time wtf?

that's football. some days you go behind and you just cant get it going. All teams have off days. Consider it a point gained and you will feel better about it. we'll get 6th place by one point and that late goal from Larin will be the one that got us there.

it was a point gained.

Get the fuck in there. Jesus my stream is behind.

I'm not hearing anything about Tonda's lack of experience today for some reason...

im with you. Oyekunle looked miles off the pace against Leicester imo. we cant have that in this game. Archer has the pace to at least turn them around by playign it down the channels.

always got to play to players strengths.

when he gets a bit of space, he's class. works hard too.

Archer's run helping us create a good chance there. good stuff. he looks short of confidence though.

we are working really hard, but every cross that goes in i hold my breath. Keep going lads.

what an opportunity.

terrible starting position from THB and Wright should score. Got away with that. Boy do they get a lot of crosses in.

I was a bit disappointed in him when he came on in the Leicester cup game to be honest. Maybe an off day. Larin isnt going to do 90 minutes, so he could well get some time and maybe a chance of glory?

what a great save from Peretz to keep things level, but these crosses are dangerous and they could have scored from a header (Peretz perhaps should have come?) and then the shot shorty after. A little dissapointed we have not managed to get players deep into the box when Manning and Azaz have got to the byeline.

That's the spirit.

It's two minutes since we smashed five past QPR, so possibly a little harsh to say our attackers are not in great form, but I know what you mean. Don't forget we ripped Fulham reserves to shreds at times, all be it we didn't score the two or three goals our approach play deserved. If Azaz gets room and plays well, we do create chances. OK, the squad might be a little less strong than if everyone wass fit, but every team has injuries and missing JayRob and Wellington isn't horrific a this stage of the season. Losing Scienza and Fellows' form is a concern though. Having Larin and Stewart, even for a half, is a lot better situation than we had before. I don't think we should be looking for excuses. The likes of Edozie need to step up and prove they can be relied upon. I do worry we will be found out against the top sides in the run in. Our run of bad and good form makes us really hard to work out. The league doesn't lie though, does it? We are not a top side, but if we could get back in the groove and win another 6 games I'm sure I will feel differently. The good thing is, we have a fantastic young manager that is continuously outwitting his old, probably outdated foes who seem stuck in their ways and will be scarred by their experiences. Much better to have some new blood bringing fresh ideas and a real understanding of players that are close to his age. What I like about him is that he is inexperienced, and that naivity allows him to just get on and do what he thinks is right rather than worry about what happened the last time. I know you love him to bits and will agree with this sentiment entirely 😉

I thought it was Disraeli, but Google tells me otherwise.

unpopular opinions are more popular than they used to be.

8pm on a Saturday - that wont do any harm to the atmosphere at SMS...at least until we concede the third goal. I seem to recall playing Arsenal in the cup with a bunch of kids and getting thrashed (forgive me if that has already been dicussed on this threaad). When was that? Not great fun. Going to b really tough, obviously, but I hope we can stay in the game at least.
