But only because he's a bit slow to get down to it ...?

Tea and toast by the seaside c/o Alpine's B&B? Nope, probably not.

No. He scores goals.

Maybe the option is some oatcakes in exchange for a packet or two of crisps.

I think by and large we're all of a similar mindset. I reckon we can make top 10 because we'll have a goalkeeper and because the margins are fine. Regardless, we're really not in a state to go up this year and be sufficiently competitive next year without an almost total squad overhaul and I'd rather (and how many times over how many years have how many of us said this?) get rid of all the dead wood. But all of it. For once and for all. Just like AH's comment - keep the OK, get rid of the shit. And the extended highlights on the OS don't work ... maybe that's a good thing from the comments on here.

Abroad if he'd take a pay cut.

I think to some extent you've raised the reason why it's considered a 'disgrace': it's tat, it's in many respects worthless, it is as some have said probably something that doesn't mean much to most of our fan base now given how long ago it was and their relative ages, it's expensive but we know it's not been made in a fashion that would warrant that, the packaging is all fluff and 'value-added' i.e. none and it's got a little badge at the bottom that harks towards the lovely capitalism of the "Emirates Cup" which devalues the (real) Football Association cup and makes it a thing commercial, not commemorative, and ... damn that answer went on too long.

Much the same. I don't think anyone thought the 'stop the count' was a good idea although it might have raised a laugh as being somewhat tongue in cheek. And it was transient and quickly (mostly) forgotten. This smacks of greed, stupidity and as others have said celebrating failure.

This article will ring true to a lot of people on here.

Indeed. -
Haven't done enough damage yet. I imagine R A thinks there's more to break.

17th.

Too slow. I'd put it down as Edwards, who played in a 4 and given some games might come good and Quarshie as they complement each other's weaknesses.

No Manning land. Cross that white line at your peril. There should be an award for that comment..

Broke? Despondent? Can't get a job anywhere else because you're crap? Give us a call: we'll help you fall upwards, just like the tons of other losers we've helped over the years: https://www.rasmusankersen.com/

Worryingly far too many of that crap still have long contracts. And we won't shift them so it's another 18 months of e.g. Manning unless we get lucky and Wussell persuades his new club to come in for him/Downes/Jack, etc.

It was Charlton. Managed by Nathan Jones. They're punching well above their weight currently.

Flynn D please.

Tonda's at the wheel and we're heading for the wall.

The only thing I take from that is that the goalkeeper is therefore incidental as a good defence will do it all. I thought he was there in case the good defence didn't. Sometimes the other team make that happen. Just to be clear: our defence is shit, but we all know that.
-
I think we played to not lose rather than to win. My ratings. 1. Bazunu 5 Ok. Good reaction save but one he probably could have collected (maybe) or the defence should have stopped but it was a good save nonetheless. 2. Jelert 5 Not bad. I would like to see him behind Fellows who can play his normal position and he can overlap. 3. Manning Minus infinity. The more I see this fraud the more I dislike him. 4. Stephens 4 Got kicked. That was his memorable moment. 5. Harwood Bellis 5 Same as. I just find him average at best. 6. Wood 5 Happily anonymous although he did drive forward with the ball nicely once. Likes a sideways pass. 7. Masuki 5 Did ok. Nice introduction to a physical game. Let's see if he can adapt/impose himself. If he can't, he'll have to go because he won't be good enough but happy to give him some time based on that. 8. Bragg 6.5 Could turn into a player. Wants the ball, wants to do things with it. Means we can have him, Jander and Charles as a 3 in that 3 man midfield we might see one day.. 9. Archer 3 I just don't see him as a viable option for anyone. A player who's best playing on the shoulder of the last defender needs a good team to create loads for him, but that kind of team would have and want a better player than him.. 10. Downes 5 Put some effort in but I still cannot see quite what the point of him being in the team is in terms of what he doesn't contribute. 11. Sceinza 5 Got sat on and crowded out so we saw some of his limitations in a poor team that couldn't give him the option of a give and go so he could play with his back to the defender. Subs. Not a lot. Robinson did a couple of things. Tonda. More Tonda toy than 'on the bus'. Clearly another spreadsheet manager. Millwall. Physical, cleverly dirty. Average. Would love to see them go up cause I think they'd make a lot of Wolves fans very happy.
-
No. Leeds shit the bed.
-
As neither goalkeeper are likely to be directly responsible for the goals we score and the points haul and that is skewed by Tonda vs the bloke who we thought would be a manager but turned out to be the ginger Ali Dia in disguise those 'stats' mean about as much as a 'Yes please and thank you'.
-
While I would hope so, the truth is he hasn't yet shown us much and I hope next year, after the cup game which he should play the whole game for us he'll start to demonstrate his ability.
-
So do I, but I'd rather see it a lot than not at all.
