Here’s an apple, here’s an orange. If anything this season is shaping more like 05/06 with all the draws.

With Baz in goal, a back 4 of Roerslev Shoehorn THB Manning and Fraser and Downs starting at the other end of the pitch. Might be an idea to try it without shit players. Wood is definitely good enough to lead a back 4, show some faith in him. Fellows, Azaz and Scienza is a 3 that nearly every team in this league would be jealous of.

Deluded.

Yep. People are setting their bar far too low. Still is a fraud.

Something that is obvious to everyone except the manager.

Yeah very strange to see people accepting the bare minimum as a good performance. It was Swansea ffs. 90 minutes of 3 cbs against a team that offered absolutely nothing going forward is pathetic.

Except the only numbers that actually fucking matter…goals!

This is really, really boring to watch.

If we don’t see any impact from Harry Kane doing it for club and country for a long longer than Haaland has then I doubt we’ll see any significant impact from Haaland either.

Thought I would fire up fm24 just to remind myself how stupidly overrated our squad always is so I don’t waste money buying FM26. It’s currently February, I haven’t lost a single league game and Sekou Mara is the championships top scorer. You’re a gimp.

Maybe Pep will bring him in as an adviser.

Either that or Baz has to go back in goal and we play out from the back a lot more. Both equally terrifying prospects.

If he mentions Hoddle his cover is blown.

Another summer signing destined to be loaned out in January. Bravo SR.

Whoooooooooooooooosh

Yeah the players really do need to take a certain level of responsibility. Especially today, there was some really good pass and move football from us in the first 10 minutes. It’s the first time this season I’ve really seen us look like we had any patterns of play or cohesion. Then we scored and they all switched off for the rest of the game. Without wishing to sound like Russell Martin the mentality of these players is terrible. But that’s part of what Still is paid to manage, and he needs to sort it fast.

That was crying out for Still to change the shape in the second half and he bottled it. Bringing players on to play in positions they don’t suit. I want to like him but he doesn’t help himself at times.

Below the skates again too.

Nowhere near good enough. We were utterly shite for 80 minutes of that game.

Might be able to beat our keepers at the near post with that shot but not most others.

Archer must be absolutely baffled watching this fucking idiot on the pitch instead of him.

The result papered over a lot of cracks on Tuesday too.

Spirit of 23/24 needed today and a stoppage time winner.

That’s 2-1 with Baz
