The shit show was the goal keeper and the lack of proper full backs. If you think we’d have won with a back 4 containing Manning, & Edward’s (or whoever you’d play) in front of Baz you’re barking up the wrong tree. When he had 2 decent full backs, he changed the formation. Personally, I don’t think he had much choice until Bree came back, and people are forgetting how well we played in his initial spell. It’s way more nuanced than back 3 bad, back 4 good. We had poor players and poor effort. Today we had better players and more effort. He could have played either formation, he clearly felt he couldn’t previously.

Hearts against Dundee united on a muddy pitch, not much mincing around at the back. Dundee down to 9 and the manager sent off as well…

We didn’t have proper full backs though did we. Bree was at Charlton & Wellington was injured. Everybody is congratulating themselves on being right, that all we needed to do was play 4 at the back and everything would be ok. They were right, Tonda was wrong. But it’s not as simple as that. Had Baz been in goal, had Manning been the left back & Bree still at Charlton, we would have lost regardless of formation. As it was, we certainly didn’t play as well today as some of the games when Tonda first took over.

Soggy went to school with the bloke who invented swimming googles. He was a specy twat who failed his 11 plus, but that didn’t hold him back, he’s now best mates with Andrew Parker Bowles and the bloke who took down the Cali Cartel.

What a load of old pony.

Baz lets those 2 in today, and there would be posters saying they were impossible to save. Today should be the end of any Baz debate…

He got 12 from 12 with a back 3 when he took over, so it’s a bit early to be thinking anything’s changed.

🥱

And the keeper is light years ahead of Baz, Bree is light years ahead of Edwards or whoever else you’d put in at full back, and Ross Stewart is a far better centre forward than AA. Tonda didn’t have Bree, didn’t have Wellington, didn’t have a proper keeper & didn’t have Ross for most of his spell in charge. If we’d have had Baz in nets, Manning at full back & not played Jack Stephen’s (as 90% of posters wanted), with AA as the centre forward, you think we win today? Because I don’t. Baz isn’t saving those 2…. Whilst it isn’t “rocket science “ it’s a bit more nuanced than people are making out.

I’d have thought the answer was OBVIOUS. Probably because James Bree was playing for Charlton, Ross Stewart & Wellington were injured had something to do with it. Im also not sure many would have had Jack in their starting 11 either.

Best performance since Tonga’s interim spell. Keeper makes a massive difference, together with a proper centre forward. Baz lets two in today, no doubt about that & Ross’ presence and movement is so much better than AA. Wellingtons best game imo, and Bree was excellent as well. Whoever made the decision to loan him out needs shooting. Special mention to jack who gets a lot of clog but was good today. Leo not at his best, but that makes the result even more satisfying.

You couldn’t see what would happen here if Corbyn got in, so you’re not really in a position to lecture anyone….

😂😂. Let me guess, they agreed with you?

If Ross Stewart had a normal injury record, Armstrong wouldn’t even be in the starting 11 most weeks. £15 mil, fucking hell, sell…

Didn’t you vote for this?

Load of old pony. If I scored 15 goals for Manchester City, would that be “a very good record”, or should I have scored 30. People moan about Tonda only producing decent performances in a small number of games, well “Arma” is exactly the same this season. He was pony last season, and he’s been pony the majority of this season. If we had a very good championship striker Sunday, we’d have won. I don’t need XG to see that.

Load of old pony. He misses too many easy chances to be “prolific”. Apart from a purple patch when Tonda first took over, he’s been pony this season. Part of the problem, not the solution….

Isn’t the boob whisperer a Manc? Maybe he could put his money where his mouth is and stand in his home city….

Fucking hell, we’ve got some fannies supporting us. The ref was excellent, nothing wrong with a few robust tackles and a bit of needle. It’s a man’s game for gods sake. Wish more referees were like it, players might stop rolling around like big girls, if there were.

Leeds battering Everton, should be at least 2 up. Our “effort” last season is looking more and more pathetic every week. Lego headed cock thinking we could out football sides….

Exactly this. Calling Reform UK the Tory party MK2 is just wrong. The soaking wet Cameron wing of the party is still there. The more right leaning defections, the more the remaining Tory party will resemble the one all the people who will never vote for it, think it should be. Let’s hope there’s more, then Rory Stewart, Grieve, Gauke etc can “ get their party back”. The electorate will then have their say, and they’ll get a shellacking which will make July 24 look like a great result.

There’s a decision to be made regarding Bree now. Do we sell him to Charlton for peanuts or keep him & lose him for fuck all in the summer. Personally, I’d offer him a new deal, I doubt he’s on much money & he’s a good championship squad option. But I can’t see us offering one, or him even wanting to sign one.

Perhaps we could get his wife instead

He did have fellows & Scienza on together, but one got injured. Unless you’d have left an injured player on, you would have to have made that change. So you couldn’t “spread out” those 2 substitution windows. When would you have brought Charles on then, he was our most effective sub, would you have brought him on with Fellows, before him, or after?
