Cov down to ten. Game over then.

Appointing Tonda you mean? I'm inclined to agree with you.

I guess when THB falls on the back of Wright's calf. But if Baz had better reactions and had come out sooner then it would already be in his hands by then and there's not even a debate to be had.

Undoubtedly the worst in my lifetime. Even Danny Fox occasionally managed to be in the right place to stop a cross. Manning just wanders around in no-mannings-land completely oblivious of what's going on around him.

Quarshie has done OK today. Bailed Manning out a couple of times with his recovery pace.

Just watch Manning jogging around marking nobody in the build up to that. He's just so utterly fucking shit it's quite unbelievable.

Manning is having a mare even by his standards. Oh fuck.

What's Fwank so upset about?

Glacial reaction from him as usual.

He said that Grimes tried to bring his foot in, but the replay showed he quite obviously and deliberately left it out.

Commentator reckons Grimes didn't foul, despite him quite blatantly leaving his foot out. What game are these clowns watching?

Don't know what he's watching because that's quite obviously not the case.

They've got both their first choice CBs our though. That's something that we really should be exploiting, but obviously won't be.

I know it's a lunchtime game right before Xmas, but the atmosphere sounds terrible.

Forgotten that we need to have a 2 or 3 goal lead before retreating into our shell.

Really poor so far.

How is that not a yellow for that wild challenge on Manning?

So we're still just trying to use our one and only tactic then. And Baz's first attempt at a mid length bal goes straight out of play under no pressure.

Cov forgot to bring their away kit so we let them use some of our old training tops we had lying in storage.

Ah, you mean a Jack of all trades but master of none.

While this is also very true, I'm assuming you meant looking for a new keeper.

Indeed. If our back line is so hopeless at passing the ball forward to our midfielders that we need to rely on our keeper to get involved in the build up play, then there are perhaps more serious problems that need addressing as a priority. Please Tonda, don't drag us back to Russball. It worked for us in 23/24, but only because we had better defenders then who could actually pass the ball well. With a back 3 of Stephens, Wood and THB, it's just inviting disaster.

Good enough for 4th place, despite conceding only two goals fewer than Birmingham who were relegated.

Seems that's what SR are counting on. There's just one tiny flaw...

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm no big fan of 2025 McCarthy either, despite him being so obviously better at stopping shots than Baz. I was just addressing your post about when did we have competent backup in recent years, and he did an admirable job that season. But that was seven years ago and he's surely going to be released in the summer (unless SR truly lose the plot and offer him another extension - I wouldn't put it past them!)
