Just pleased to see some fight in the side.

We look utterly bereft. No confidence or conviction in our play at all. Ralph's position must surely be under threat.

A player who needs a fair wind behind him. Won't be the last, certainly not the first. Better with us then against us. Not the only member of our team who hasn't had the space to run at the opposition in recent times though. (See: Ingsy onto his right foot around the edge of the penalty area.)

No, just out of his depth.

Paul Telfer Lloyd James Controversial: Gaston Ramirez.

That wasn't horrible. That in itself is progress. Everton are a good side and we were undone by a single moment. We are low on confidence, nothing has been going for us and the VAR decision going our way clearly made a massive impact on our mentality. From that moment in, although we didn't breach Everton we started looking more cohessive. Saturday is massive. It is time to push on.

Would expect this.

Agreed, seeing us play with some pride, professionalism and having an even hand from the officials would do right now. We never, ever win at Goodison Park anyway, so what the hell.

It appears to me that Ralph has lost the plot. Perhaps crying on the pitch after beating the champions isn't the best thing for gaining squad respect.

Nice to see us grow into a game for a change, we seemed to maybe be a bit less 'up and at them' then usual in the first half, maybe intentional to make sure we don't fade in the second? Djenepo was fantastic, a joy to watch today. Salisu also. A well worked point in uncharacteristic fashion for us.

Starting to lose faith in him. There is just no plan B. Same script every time.

Not giving a lot this ref.

Can only assume Redmond from the initial ball through!?

Yes, His style is based on position, draw them out then strike. If they will not be drawn out, we are done.

That pitch, any risk of abandoning the game?

Just fucking appalling. Jankewicz VAR The destruction of spontaneous joy when you score Our squad depth. PTSD A total car crash of the highest order.

That's.... if it happens, interesting. Keep Valery and Bertrand too and i'll take this as an ok day.

Another full back option ruled out.

Are you sure?

There is a promotional video for the new deal by Hummel doing the social media rounds. The end of it confirms that it was made before the current lockdown..... In November. This had been known for a fair old while internally, wonder what the final straw with UA was?

I'll make a decision when you find a new response for me in kit threads chap.

Fantastic! Cannot wait to see what they produce for us. They have made some fantastic recent shirts for lower league sides (Coventry's ska inspired third kit last year springs to mind.) Brilliant news.

We have seen things level off a bit, We have a cohort of 1000 pupils and on Friday 68 in Key Worker School. This is down from the 80 or so it was on Tuesday. We are asking for proof (Nothing more then place of employment and job role, admittedly..... If a parent was so minded, they could lie) But, it seems as though people are not taking liberties. In comparison though, during last lockdown our keyworker school had about 25 pupils. So more job have become 'key.'

For the love of everything holy at least let teachers use the school buildings as bases for our remote lessons. Going back to trying to co-ordinate this from a small home with a 2 year old running around...... No, doesn't work. Spent today getting back into the rhythm of this and debugging teams so it cannot be f**ked around with by those you are trying to teach. Hope it isn't a wasted effort.
