CB Fry

A sport where you can smash into each other to knock the other guy clean over and that's all fine, but if the ball is slightly nudged forward by an arm that's a penalty. Also the penalties seem to happen about ten minutes after the thing that the penalty was for happened. And then they just kick it out of play. Most of the time not a fucking clue but I've been watching world cups and 6 nations occasionally for decades.

He's been a manager a lot longer than the two at Plymouth and Ipswich and they've both achieved far more.

Nope. We'd lost four in a row. We're supposed to be challenging for automatic promotion. Winning 3 matches in a row is typical for teams who want to go up automatically. Ipswich have already done it, Leicester have done it twice and more. Let's not even touch on the fact we have negative goal difference. Pathetic. The level this manager has got us scrabbling around is oooh we got a point maybe maybe if we're lucky we make the play offs, and expecting the fanbase to be grateful for it. Not good enough, Russell Martin is failing right now.

Weeks like this are going to be typical for the season. Just enough there to buy him more time in the job, but nowhere near enough quality for us to be anywhere near the real promotion battle. As a manager he has never achieved anything, at all. And he ain't achieving anything with us.

12-0.

13-0. #itshappening

Alcaraz who is basically a child: rested. Stuart Armstrong, held together by masking tape and garden twine: starting eleven

If we win 14-0 we can go above Sunderland.

People said it could never be done.

Who are you expecting to be asking the questions at a press conference ahead of Southampton vs Rotherham in the Championship? Bernstein and Woodward?

Surprising news. If nothing else we will get a decent fee for him if we don't go up.

I admit I had a couple of practices in front of the mirror before I filmed it, but once I'd set up the phone and back-light, I smashed it in one take 👍

It's so strange how managers just lose it. He finished multiple times in the top ten of the Prem with I think four different clubs. He clearly had managerial ability once. You'd think he'll never work again (weird job in Thailand/UAE/etc etc notwithstanding)

The main benefit would have been capacity. If you have high speed rail dealing with London and long distance travel, it frees up more lines for inter-city/more local services. It was never really about getting to London twenty minutes quicker or whatever it was.

If you were there last night you wouldn't be saying such rubbish.

The biggest issue is the current team has been slung together. The promotion squad had a core that was into its third season, with quality being added as it went. By March, say, we may see that the back five that played last night have proven to be just as good as Kelvin, Jos and co. And maybe Ross Stewart is an instant legend by then.

That was my thought. An actual striker playing up front could genuinely be the final piece of the puzzle. CB pairing was strong today, keeper was sound, Flynn I thought excellent. All of a sudden we are solid. But going forward we're not getting anywhere. A focal point could make sll the difference.

Tanadari Lee is the only one I think, and he was half a season. Christ knows what @farawaysaintis on about.

Do substitute appearances not count now? Surely the golden opportunity for strikers/attackers as a substitute is to come on and change the game, make a difference. How many times did Adam Armstrong ever do that? How many times did he come of the bench and show that he should be first choice? Bam. Goal. Assist. Pick me. You just seem to be arguing that Armstrong should have just been picked regardless. And to be honest with our dreadful options up front last year, I think he was picked regardless. Adam Armstrong could have replaced Che Adams as a first choice regular very easily, if he had scored. some. goals. He didn't. The idea that he never got a chance is absolutely mystifying.

Exactly - we need to win both of the other games this week to even get us back on track for the play-offs in terms of points per game. We are absolutely miles away from the top two already. If we win every single game in October then maybe we are in the top two picture again. Winning the odd game is not enough. If we get maximum points this week maybe the oh-ye-of-little-faith brigade can start their told you so crowing. But if we don't, then we remain bimbling about in mid table. Which funnily enough was not the plan this season.

Leicester City won the Premier League on about 40% possession so not that brainless. You may have missed we'd lost four games on the spin with one of the most expensive/lavish squads in the league, so maybe others have been a bit brainless too.

Good substitutions to be fair.

Che Adams has come on so that means goals goals goals

Oh, that's definitely not going to happen.
