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.

Hope that Fabianski is okay. I didn;t see the challenge. And that we get back onto the front foot as quickly as possible.

Hopefully this will change if TP is getting minutes. Surprised THB hasn't got one. If they can;t score, then I'd be looking at the corner taker.

Great to see us press so far up the park. Hopefully we can keep this going and not tire out, not being used to this. Hopefully the freedom to actually do things will get them through. KWP and Suga enjoying playing to their strengths for a start. TP moving with an actual chance of getting it in a dangerous position and Fernandes looking good.

Gah! Just one of these to go in! Just one please!

More chances for us. It's odd to see us having so much space, rather than compacted and playing it across the back. WHU analysts will have been wondering what was going to happen today, so a chance to take advantage. TP looking awkward and a little ponderous, but getting into good positions and getting chances. Who would have thought we'd have a center forward at the club?

wow. One of those good moves I've seen in highlights from other teams. Could have scored, but optimistic we might get some more chances to do so.

ACME Forum Festive 3 for the price of none gags presents:- 1) And one day, when you reach the big school, we'll get you some. 2) It's really going to be what stops you being arrested all the time. 3) This is a football forum, not a relationship counciling service. That said, by being equal partners, it makes who wears the trousers redundant.

It's what the follow up three wise persons brought to the stable, saving the day after the frankly disappointing earlier gifts of frankincense, and myrrh. 🙂

I didn't even know we'd invited you round ours for Christmas. 🙂 Really glad our actual Christmases aren't like that.

Merry Christmas to everyone on SaintsWeb!

Lightning

If Steven King had been in Threads, his books would be a lot grimmer. CBA finding some random person who agrees/disagrees with someone/something in place of having an opinion of my own.

I don't see any non elves in that workshop. I don't see any elf and safety either.

Previously, we've offered little up front, but gifted goals away at the back. Today, we offered little up front, but cleared our lines. The result is that in one game, Rusk has equalled Martin's PL away points record. The second half mostly followed the first. Fulham on top early. Then a lull before their subs started to make a difference. Ramsdale parried a very close effort away, and a second chance went just wide. In the closing minutes we had a flurry of corners to sneak all three points. But they will be happy enough with one.

Fulham the stronger. But we've kept them reasonably comfortably to shots from distance, and have covered those quite well. We look more solid at the back, using Martin's passing angles along with more flexible range from the back. No suicidal passing today, as the players are allowed to choose what's best. Nothing to speak of up front. Dibling raw and a bit lightweight against his opponents, but the one who is getting it and being direct. AA very quiet, working a lot of ground across the park. Fernandes doing okay. But no real chances created.

How many more games does Pep have to lose before Russell Martin's recent run is better? City clearly need to be even more extreme in their possession football. Who better to bring in, than the man Pep said they had learned so much from. 🙂

Torture

The entire squad could grow Franny 'taches and we'd still not be likely to escape this. Needs others to slump, possibly with some points deductions, and us to have a massive uptick in form. As posted, if they were going to do it, with a hope of staying up, then that time was 6 weeks ago at least.

Big Brother is listening to you listen to Big Brother listening to Winston. 🙂

Consider the source material I'm using as the satire. I also added in that last line, in case there was any doubt about why this has come in. More broadly, satire and comedy are always useful in holding up mirrors and helping to bring people to account, as other freedoms are stripped away.

I think Atomic Wedgie is the name of one of those Death Metal bands, the new manager likes. 🙂
