Whitey Grandad

Plenty of players get injured in training. Some even get injured sweeping up leaves!

1. Oh yes please. What other reasons are there to pay to watch us? 2. We’re likely to score more. You may think we’re less wide open but one inevitable mistake or one misplaced pass and the opposition pounce on it instantly but what’s also important is that because we’re passing the ball around just outside our own penalty area they are within attacking range of our goal against a defence that is wrong-footed and is playing all their attackers onside. It’s idiotic lunacy.

Even more reason to get it delivered promptly.

Which game was that? It must have been one that I missed.

I can’t argue that the club wanted a possession style but I will argue that it is a crap way to play football.

That would be a bonus in my view.

I don’t cover my eyes. I close them and fall asleep.

We won't bring in any goals if we continue to play the same way.

What attack?

No ambition. Too comfortable where we are.

The other team are never going to tire. They can spend the whole game just sitting back and waiting for our inevitable mistakes.

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.

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?

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.

Bednarek was at fault for their goal on Saturday. He could easily have blocked that shot.

We’ve already had a bad run.

They’ll be all right. They don’t call them Tractor Boys for nothing.

A Wesley Hoedt mistake gifts a goal to Ipswich.

There is normally a choice of games on the Sky Sports app. This may not actually appear until kick off.

This I must see.

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?

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?

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.

I’ve found a website selling Roman gold coins. One example from about 77 AD is described as ‘pre-owned’

It was a poor effort from Bazunu but it shows the importance of having a shot no matter how speculative it might seem.
