this appears to be 1 game too far.

Remember the days Alfie House (and the odd poster here) would rudely dismiss the concerns anyone had about playing such a terrible system (3/5 at the back), to claim it is not about the formation.

I think we are going to get our arses handed to us. Be interesting as to the approach if we are within 2 points of 2nd as this game kicks off

The hollowing out starting before the last 14 years, so no need to just stop there.

He is not wrong though. I, wrongly, used to state we would be all done and dusted over a bad weekend against a near peer advisory. the last few weeks suggest we would not even make it to the weekend. the current Labour government cannot be blamed totally for the state of the forces, but they have some blame, and with the previous government, despite the talk, defence is simply no where near a priority.

if we go up, we need a much stronger spine. Peretz (or Ramsdale) fix the keeper problem, Charles may grow into the CM role, but we need a much better striker. Sunderland went up and brought some monsters..we bought BBD last time!

Just catching the read-out from the Southport Inquiry. Pretty Damning of the continued failures with intervention, and they seem very obvious. Largely blaming his parents, with various authorities not far behind. Basically, Parents continually obstructed authorities getting involved, and when they did, the authorities acted appallingly (if at all)

Did he talk about how Pelligrino played exciting attacking football?

I bet there are few who would, in hindsight, want to have "stuck with him no matter what", as THB, Manning and co are the problem

because he was/is an appalling manager

it smacks of a squad full of quality for this league, and certainly no where near the "relegation" standard many suggested before xmas

Derby have defended very well to be fair, whilst we seem slow to get the ball into the dangerous parts of the final 3rd, and/or getting more players into the box to occupy their CBs

Have seen the goals a few times, and how that was deemed not a foul by Moore for their goal is quite something.

Finn Azaz

How we are playing or is how many new we could at the start of the season, when we were very disappointed with the performances Larin is what we all hoped Downs would be.

He plays almost every minute of every game.

Ta

Any links to the goals??

😂😂😂

How was their goal allowed to stand?

The lanky German variety?

Told you all in the summer, Azaz is mustered

We are going up, aren’t we

Are the club Iiving beyond their means?

Got to love recency bias
