Whitey Grandad

No it’s not true. The contribution from the pensioners is nowhere near enough. Did I say entirely by the pensioners?

Just the two PL matches. The FA website says that his suspension ends 30th September which is the Bournemouth game. More’s the pity.

It’s paid for by the pensioners.

At the moment we can’t change all of them but we can change the manager.

Different league now. I don’t expect any promotion from the one we’re in now. Do I really have to keep repeating this?

Money talks.

That’s where you and I disagree. I guess your idea of beautiful football is different from mine.

And 4 losses and 8 goals conceded.

We’re not good enough because of the manager.

That’s very disparaging. Would you rather they all brought along prawn sandwiches?

Unless it is deemed frivolous and the ban gets increased 😀

We don’t look like a settled team. We look like a bunch of lads who have turned up with their boots. Understandable considering that we have had a new influx of players but they must be doing something in training. They’re obviously not doing fitness exercises.

That’s only a couple of weeks away.

What brings you to that conclusion? I don’t think many would have selected Stephens.

From my seat in block 31 it doesn’t look like a mass or wall of people. You say that it feels cramped though.

I agree entirely.

I think you’ll find that this forum has more inside knowledge about those than all the other teams put together.

I’ve seen enough already.

He doesn’t enjoy it because it’s about defending and he knows nothing about it. It doesn’t make pretty triangles.

He spent yesterday in acres of space out wide on the left with his arm raised asking for the ball which the rest of the team ignored. He didn’t help his cause on the couple of times that the ball was passed to him by his tactic of lobbing it first time over their central defence.

What is it about our defensive back line? Yesterday first Stephens and then THB dropped back several yards playing the opposition onside. This cannot be a coincidence after these players have been together for more than a season. I think it’s a consequence of our obsession with playing it out from the back at all times. We have lost the ability to keep a solid straight back line with all players in touch with each other.

Oh really? Please see my earlier posts.

Paul Wotton anybody?

Reminds me of their first at Cardiff.

I said to my grandson just before halftime that I could hear the Man Utd players shouting to each other. I couldn’t hear any of our players and the crowd were just about asleep.
