  1. The other team are never going to tire. They can spend the whole game just sitting back and waiting for our inevitable mistakes.
  2. We’ve scored 33 goals. Leicester have scored 41 and Ipswich 45. A goal difference of +4 is never going to see us promoted. Leicester’s is +27 and Ipswich’s is +19.
  3. It’s something that needs to be sorted out with the defenders in front of him. If they can block his view they can also block the shot. Maybe instead of leaning he should shuffle across slightly?
  4. When his view is blocked he leans to the right which puts his weight on the wrong leg. He can be coached out of it but that doesn’t help us right now.
  5. Bednarek was at fault for their goal on Saturday. He could easily have blocked that shot.
  6. We’ve already had a bad run.
  7. They’ll be all right. They don’t call them Tractor Boys for nothing.
  8. A Wesley Hoedt mistake gifts a goal to Ipswich.
  9. There is normally a choice of games on the Sky Sports app. This may not actually appear until kick off.
  10. This I must see.
  11. Also those who feel that they have to write a report about everything they’ve done and everywhere they’ve gone over the past year. Who gives a toss?
  12. Too true. And whatever happened to the old-fashioned goal kicks where the keeper just hoofed the ball upfield to the sound of an appropriate chant from the crowd?
  13. I’ve just watched the extended highlights and whilst Bazunu should have done better I’m surprised that no one has mentioned the role of Bednarek in their goal. He’s close enough to Healey to block the shot but instead turns away from him and the shot goes through his legs. The consequence is that Bazunu has to lean to the right in order to see the ball and then has to suddenly adjust to his left and ends up mishandling the shot. It goes some way to explaining where he goes wrong but does not excuse him. This is not the first time that Bednarek has got in the way and done nothing to block the shot. His only contribution is to block the view of his own goalkeeper. If he kep his eyes on the ball he would block a lot more goal efforts.
  14. I’ve found a website selling Roman gold coins. One example from about 77 AD is described as ‘pre-owned’
  15. It was a poor effort from Bazunu but it shows the importance of having a shot no matter how speculative it might seem.
  16. 2 points.
  17. Just a bit?
  18. Get three women in the same room and you can’t get a word in edgeways 🤯
  19. "Yeah, absolutely, I mean..." Very articulate! Some fair points made by Barton.
  20. Perhaps it was Suburbia
  21. #sarcasm 🤪
  22. With six months left on his contract?
  23. They just won’t stop talking. Sometimes it seems that they feel that they have to say something. I know that if those two were sitting me they wouldn’t get through the game in one piece.
  24. Apparently on Prime there is an option to have ‘no commentary’.
  25. I understand the desire for such information but a cursory glance tells you how unreliable it is. Fitness measurements are not in dispute as they are independent of external factors but the flow of a football match has too many independent variables to enable any meaningful analysis beyond so-and-so had a good game. As to influencing the starting lineup, that would explain a lot. As a lawyer might say, “I rest my case”.
