Or get hurt in warm ups.

You wear tights to keep out the cold.

Nearer 80 than 90. Besides, money talks.

Penalty to Leeds

Please don’t. It’s the hope that kills you.

That was a league. These are one-off matches. There's a big difference.

Include me out of that 99%

The fact that it was a run of games is irrelevant. Like picking up a set of cards and finding that they are all sorted into the right order. They are the same set of cards even when you shuffle them. A run of draws is worth less than a run of win-lose-win-lose and eventually the desire to keep the unbeaten streak going can lead to a less 'brave' mentality.

This is a problem with the 'we breed success' philosophy. Especially in the Championship with all the extra games.

No, Russ doesn't like attacks on goal because we might lose possession.
-
What I take from that is our wet blotting paper defence. What on earth is Bednarek doing for their second? He can see that the player is going to shoot yet he doesn't attack the ball and just waits for the shot when you can see him shrink away from it. He's been doing this all season and it's cost us a fair few goals.

I have said this before. In training our strikers are up against our defence. It doesn't help either of them.

Unbeaten is a long way from winning.

I'm too long in the tooth to get caught by such naive journalistic questions. I know what type of football I like and this isn't it. I want my teams to attack like a tiger and go for the throat. Not be a boa constrictor and try to slowly squeeze the life out of the opposition.

Win it. If only to prove what might have been.

Do you really expect me to go back over every game that I've watched in the last ten or twenty years? We play one-paced football with the occasional flash of brilliance every now and then. Exciting it ain't.

If you give him credit for the first half then you have to criticise him for the second.
-
He's still learning on the job. At least, I hope he's learning.

"Most exciting" ? I've seen a lot better.

As I have always said, such statistics are meaningless for the reasons that you state. The total number of goals conceded gives a rough indication of goalkeeper quality yet we have people on here saying that if we'd had anyone but Baz we'd be top of the league. As you say, it's the quality of the defence as a whole that is most important and ours is just not good enough. I'd rather they concentrated on keeping their shape and closing down quickly than playing pretty triangles across their goalmouth.

Taken with all the other disasters over the season, yes it was.

Correct. Leicester have lost 10 but have only drawn 4 against our 9. Thereby hangs the difference.
