Because we’ve got about 12 decent players available Sat.

I really wasn’t joking. The team should pretty much pick itself, but you never know with Ralph around. He’ll probably bring Bednarek back & start Redmond up top.

The World Cup throws a spanner in everyone’s predictions this season. Not really studied who plays for which country and which of the “strugglers” will lose key men. You also don’t know who is going to suffer disappointment & mental fatigue from playing in Qatar and how that’ll affect anything. However, I’m pretty sure some players not going will welcome the rest, clubs will have the majority of key men resting and that rest, could just give them a couple of extra points that may get them over the line.

Instead of mincing around they should have been doing some proper police work. You know, like maintaining law and order. A proper police presence in the town centre may have nipped this in the bud. They’re coppers, not a fucking concert party. https://thelincolnite.co.uk/2022/08/dispersal-order-for-lincoln-city-centre-after-several-large-fights/

🛌 🥱 😴

It depends on which Ralph turns up too.

Wonderful footballer, Such sad news. RIP

Fucking hell, if losing to Man C & Arsenal is “showing signs” of being in trouble, most of the league will be fucked.

Every time Soggy, knows, meets, or speaks to somebody, they always seem to back up his opinions.

Leeds finished below us and have lost their best 2 players. Leicester have lost players as well.

The problem is the country isn’t ready for it. The pitch should have been prepared a couple of years ago when The Chancellor was paying people to stay at home and the BoE was printing money. The consequences of this should have been spelt out and nobody should have been left in any doubt a reckoning was coming. The Ukrainian situation has only added to the problem, they’d still be a massive problem regardless of what Russia did there. People won’t accept pay restraint, and you can’t really blame them when there’s plenty of work about. High Inflation is a cancer in the economy and as you’ve said we’ll end up in a vicious circle. The only way out of it is horrendously high interest rates, job losses and a recession. People will only accept pay restraints when they’re worried about the future and their future job prospects. For all Tory hopes that this is ‘79 & Thatcher did this and Thatcher did that, we’re nowhere near there at the moment. It’s more like Heath/Wilson/Callaghan 70’s. The Tories will kick the can down the road hoping to squeak back in, whoever wins the next election will probably do the same, rinse and repeat for a few more years. There is absolutely no way people are ready for the type of recession needed to bring inflation down to the levels we’ve seen for 20 years.

We need to keep him even if he’s not a regular starter. I don’t go for all this old pony that we should “let him go if he wants to play week in week out”. He’s a good pro who’ll keep the ones that are playing on their toes as well as covering for injuries/suspensions. We’re not good enough to let players of his ability to leave just because he can’t get a game. If Diallo kicks on then maybe, but that’s not this window.

Exactly. 3 or 4 points is about par for the fixtures we’ve had, we’re not going to get much from the top sides so need to find 10 or 11 wins from the likes of Leeds & Leicester. Utd will probably lose to Liverpool tomorrow, so they’re ripe for the taking next week. Let’s go for it from the off, not wait until we’re behind.

Dear God

The blokes clearly not up to it. Struggles to ride a bike & put his coat on. If it was The Donald you wouldn’t be making excuses. The title of the thread is “what is wrong with America”. The state of its president is clearly one thing wrong with it.

Yep, correct. Clinton, Trump & Biden have to be the worse 3 candidates ever produced, and at this rate it’ll be Trump V Biden 2. Neither are fit for office,

I don’t buy it. He’s seems to struggle with the complicated nature of handshakes. https://www.gbnews.uk/news/joe-biden-confusion-as-he-seemingly-forgets-he-shook-senators-hand-and-goes-in-for-another-handshake/351286

Biden meets the invisible man.

“Interesting” wouldn’t be the word I’d use. He’s fucking pony, he’s had chance after chance. Most games he looks like a bloody great fairy mincing around & constantly feigning injury.

Never.

Fucking hell, the state of that. Somebody needs to have a word with her. It’s not all about you dear, proper footballs back “the summer the country has just seen” 😂😂.

Once he’s perfected dressing himself & then using a bicycle without stabilisers he might do.

Fucking hell, Trumps going to piss it if they put this clown up again. Simple things like putting on a coat & riding a bike seem beyond him.

I thought playing American idiot was a bit classless to be honest.

Personally I like 3 at the back, but you have to have the players. My preference is a centre half and 2 physical full backs, Venables played this way with Gary Neville & Pearce as his wide centre halves. The benefit of this is they can negate one of 3 at the backs biggest weakness, namely centre halves getting dragged into the channels and having to defend one on one in wider areas. Bednarek in particular looks like a fish out of water in this scenario. KWP is the perfect wing back, not sure about the French lad in that role, but OR & JWP are tactically intelligent and the new fella looks like he is. So basically, we have players who can play a formation with a back 3 in every position, apart from the crucial ones. We just haven’t got good enough defenders to play a 3. IF Ralph wanted to play this way, then he or the recruitment team should have addressed this. Until they do, it’ll be a fucking car crash to continue with it.
