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?

So what different changes would you have made?

There’s a lot of deserved criticism come Tonda’s way lately, but I agree, some of it is unfair today. Bringing Bree in was a good decision, and everybody was calling out for a back 4. As you say the subs made sense once Leo got injured, annd Charles was excellent when he came on. Had he left AA on with Ross staying on the bench, then they’d have been loads of complaints. The only contentious decision was Fellowes being left out, but nothing he did when he came on made that look a particularly horrendous decision.

On the ale already?

I’m struggling to think of one clear cut chance they made, or even a mildly difficult save our keeper had to make. Anyone who watches that game and thinks they created better chances than us, is clearly clueless…

They were only going to score from a set piece, they really didn’t look like breaking us down from open play. On the other hand we created 3 clear cut chances and but only took 1. Azaz & Leo struggled to impose themselves, but Azaz should have had 2 assists & Leo showed the one bit of quality needed. Bree was good, the keeper looks more dominant than Baz, Charles looked class for his short cameo, but the other subs couldn’t really get involved. Of course they’re bang average, but their home form is what will keep them up and there was no way they weren’t going to give it a go. I certainly would have taken this point after the Hull debacle. Remember we had a different class of player the last league meeting and couldn’t get over the line. It’s a tough fixture…. A few like THB & Downes need to be honest with themselves, do they put that much effort in week in & week out, because that level of commitment is what we need every fucking game. Overall, I’m just pleased to have not lost in both games whilst we’re having such a shit season, because with this bunch it could have been a lot lot worse.

If AA did his job we’d be leading, two best opportunities of the game and he needs to bury one of them. We’re matching them physically, which was a concern prior to the game, the keeper & Bree excellent additions & the two centre halves are defending pretty well. Hopefully our quality off the bench will win it for us.

Unless Stewart plays 90 mins, we’ll have no out ball sometime during every game.

Don’t talk pony man. What ever you think of the selection, bringing Matsuki in isn’t bottling it. No doubt had he played a back 3, you'd say he bottled it. In fact any team that didn’t match exactly what you suggest, would result in a claim he bottled it.

Good to see Bree back and for all his faults you had to play Jack today. Wellington can be a bit rash, so let’s hope he shows controlled aggression today. Matsuki obviously the surprise, but is it really possible for Ross to start 2 games running? Obviously the manager has all the data & info to hand, so I’m reserving judgement until I know the reasoning behind the other 2 selections. Bench longs strong so if we can get to half time level, could buck the trend and pinch it second half. I think 2-2 more likely though…

Fuck me, they’ve dodged a bullet, you think they’d be more grateful…😂

He’ll win, no bother. Normally people vote against the Governing party in a By election to signal their unpopularity , this time they’ll vote for the Governing party to signal that unpopularity. 13k majority, over 50% of the vote last time, and it being framed as a chance to trigger binning that dud Starmer, they’ll hang on pretty easily…..

Let’s see where they are in 10 years time before you start wetting yourself over them. None of the clubs our supporters wwnk over, Brighton, Bournemouth or Brentford have achieved what we did. Did you really think it would go on forever, it couldn’t for us and it won’t for those 3 either.

I’m sure Soggy has plenty to say about “the king of the north” promising his voters he’d serve a full term as mayor and wouldn’t be heading to Westminster .

He should be judged exactly the same as every other PM. If he is as bad at the job as Starmer, he deserves exactly the same treatment. No more or no less….

I’d imagine Reform supporters will go as easy on him as Labour & Tory supporters do when they’re in Government. People who don’t like Reform, will criticise him like people who don’t like Starmer criticise him. It’s been the same for years. Why are people trying to claim there’s some sort of special “go easy on Reform” bandwagon is ridiculous. Nearly as ridiculous as judging Nigel differently than other politicians.

But it’ll be worse if Nigel does it. You’ve seen how people are triggered when he’s only got 6 MP’s…..

Yeah, we’re not used to PM’s blaming others. They always stand up and take responsibility. He should take a leaf out of Sir Kiers book, never blames 14 years of Tory rule for his Government’s failures.

And then wanted Ched Evans jailed for consensual sex. Fucking weird , with those morals that he’s lecturing others. Doesn’t say anything about the bloke who claimed he could make birds tits bigger through thoughts, no he’s not a “grifter”, he’s “impressed” him. 😂. Bloody clown. Imagine if Nigel claimed he could make Isobel Oakshotts tits bigger, we wouldn’t hear the end of it…

According to someone I heard (it may have been on TSP) he was at the forefront of dressing room discussions after the Hull game. I don’t know but I’d imagine Baz would have sat there like a schoolboy in the headmasters office. Hopefully he’ll start kicking a few arses and installing standards.

Your response to Huw Edwards (“hardly the crime of the century”) was disgraceful, so if I was you,I’d reflect a bit and check my moral compass, before posting pious pony…..
