Asylum

Another post pretending that the Guardian, the source of all correct opinion along with James O'Brien, is somehow not trying to use it's political stance any differently to the parody papers on the other side. Good to see a mention on how informed people were during rioting from the person who got caught out trying to fake a racially motivated incident on social media during it. While a NASA space probe has gone closer to the sun, there's still no sign of SOG's self awareness anywhere in the cosmos.

His bromance has left the building. 🙂 As with any new manager, he'll have to earn it. That's how it should be on an ongoing basis too. In a squad Martin felt was hampered by "scar tissue" after the last relegation, Stephens was vocal, bought into Martin's ideas and was versatile to play in a number of roles. It was only awkward as, when everyone is fit, he's not first choice on skill, only in shoutiness. Useful to have in the squad still for us, considering where we are. In his self inflicted absence, Wood has been decent. Unless he's alienated the rest of the squad, or the club, ABK (who was also decent in his only appearance) might get a chance again too. There's plenty of personal responsibility and flexibility required in Juric's sides. Things Stephens has, but will now need to show in training to get back in.

From a scrap in a previous game cameo he hit the bar with a very decent header. He had better chances yesterday, and he and we need that sharpness back. He has done it for other clubs, and we also got glimpses of him being more than just someone who heads it. He was a focal point for Ramsdale on several occasions. Varying success, and we'll need to look at giving him options when he gets it. He held the ball well and got some decent passes off too. I thought he was going to tire out quickly. But with him getting more than the tacticless sub on from Martin, he actually looked better, with the extra minutes, before fading along with everyone else. Martin was never going to change. He felt that TP wasn't ever going to be a good match for his system, and SR couldn't get a deal to move him on that suited all parties. It's not great for anyone. I'm pleased for him on a personal level after coming in for a Jones team, just as he was out the door. It's been very frustrating, and hopefully he'll be able to thrive under this system. His heavy involvement in lots of good things yesterday was an excellent start.

Got a laughing emoji because fish dance. But also worth the like one too. SR came in thinking they would add their approach onto a successful Ralph system. That would stabilise dips in it, bring individual wages down while bringing in fresh talent to sell on at a premium. When Ralph's system wasn't saved, for various reasons, they've kept some of their financial approaches, even if it's a false economy, but have been inconsistent tactically. The 10 year plan seems to include veering from one approach to another. The punching above their weight attribute seems to overcome other considerations.

I read this, thought they must be in their '80s. Nipped off to have a look through that. Found out they weren't quite there. Adjusted the gag. Spotted this, and realised I'd just wasted 2 mins. Salvaged it by moaning about it, in a post instead. 🙂 - How I spent my Christmas hols by H&W Also in Signs You Need A New Start by Doctoroncall, page 137 "I knew I'd scrapped the bottom of the barrel. But worse was to come when my gags were matching H&W's."

Godzooky. From the ideas factory that must have also given us Scrappy Doo and Jar Jar Binks. 🙂

Oh, we tried to draw them in and hoof it to pacey Sule. Something to watch for. It's a bit scrappy for Sule, who would have liked all that space in the first half. But an option to try.

Good effort from fernandes. It's been a bit more even, as our energy levels have dropped. Rather than one massive defensive blunder leading directly to a goal, we had a defensive error that had a few other things after it, we could have done better before we conceded. So an improvement. 🙂 With our set up, we're at least getting into their half to get a goal back, rather than relying on going back to resetting and passing across the back. AA off. He's been a little quiet today. But can;t see his work rate not coming in handy with the new boss.

Bah! Our bench werent' happy with the corner. They got a lot of unchallenged balls there to finally get that in.

Les harrying the ball. Unfortunately, the first guy he was tacking gets that ball back and gets it in. Needed someone else to come over and support if not staying with the man.

My stream is a little behind. Just seeing the red. Hmmmmm. not sure it is having seen the replay.

Lovely from KWP to start a move.

Well, that was something different. We take the bright spots of Martin, in being able to pass really well into space across the team, and especially from the back. Arguably, we get back quickly defensively too, after all those corners where we had to run back. Mainly though, we don't panic. To that, we harry, get space and worked really hard. It's rusty looking up front. TP will be dispapointed not to have had a goal. But he's been involved in practically everything. He shows that when he has space he has some pace. He's physical and skilled enough to shield it. If anything, and not unknown for tall players, his heading could have been a little sharper there. really pleased for him as he's waited a long time for a system to give him a chance. Likewise the others who are working hard. Suga and KWP doing well, ably supported by hard work elsewhere. After such a different approach, I really hope we can keep the energy levels up, as we've gone tow to toe with WHU and come out the better team after that first half.

'tator: If he (TP) had been fit all season, would we still be bottom of the table. Answer: Yes, because our system was set up to play to his strengths as little as possible. As I type, that one was a good chance there for him.

Bedders doing very well there! good from TP too!

TP loving it. Moved clapped by the manager! Good to see.

Decent cross in there for TP that time.

TP really getting involved. I hope this spell comes good for him. He's waited such a long time.

The legacy of Martin's tenure will be that we will be extremely comfortable passing it around. Especially in tight defensive spaces, but elsewhere too.

I think so. The 4th official was saying that to the WHU manager I think.

Straight to TP, so we have a focal point. He tries to take it down also good. But they get it...only to be absolutely harried by 3 of our players. Good to see us getting back and winning it.
