  1. Great, Shitemond starts again.
  2. The only good thing about getting beat are the Kaiser meltdown posts. Gold!
  3. Walcott was a puzzling signing given he is about as ineffective as both Redmond, Elyanoussi and Djenepo. We need a more dynamic player in there like a Tella. Typically Redmond buried his chance today but was a mile offside.
  4. He came back from the EUROS absolutely buzzing about being involved and RH being RH let him cool off on the bench. Same treatment for Tella, buzzing at being in the team and lauded by Ralph at the end of last season, left to rot this. RH doesn’t do himself any favours with his bizarre decisions, substitutions, and selections.
  5. True enough. I feel JWP’s game has gone a bit stale back there with Romeu. Further up he’d be inclined to pick a pass or get on the end of something.
  6. If Stu is out for a few more weeks I’d like to see something like this with JWP playing the Stu role. KWP Bednarek Salisu Perraud Diallo Romeu Tino JWP Tella Adams/AA
  7. We’re so nice that I’d half expect one of ours to say, “sorry Ref I think I fouled him while scoring there, you might want to take a look at the screen”, but then I remembered that we don't actually put the ball in the net.
  8. Agreed. I did some napkin maths too in the game thread and we don’t have many goals in us at all. To have so many passengers in those #10 slots is killing us. It’d be fine if they threaded in passes and made assists but I think their assist record is worse than their goal record. RH will take off Redmond abs Ely but replace them with like for like and not Tella. Worrying times.
  9. Do any of them have anything about putting yer foot through it and finding the net? We seem to just recycle 3 plans a) slow everything down and knock in easy floaty crosses b) pass sideways and back c) fanny about with it
  10. To quote Capt. Blackadder, “we have battle plans?”.
  11. I think Ralph has taken us about as far as he can. Another manager would have a different philosophy and perhaps the competition for places new manager would create would help. Trouble is, we’d need to get this appointment spot on and I’m not confident we would.
  12. There’s no one out there like a Case, Cockerill, Townsend or Horne out there rallying the troops. JWP just shrugs and takes it and that sets the tone for the whole team.
  13. What our lot? Nah, they just accept everything put their heads down and trudge back to the halfway line.
  14. Pretty much. This season is always going to be one where we hold our breath and hope for the best. If we can survive the future will hopefully be brighter with all the salary and dead wood we shifted.
  15. We’d better hope that when they do score that that defence are wide wake that day...
  16. Knowing our luck Saints will promote Redmond to player manager...
  17. JWPs set pieces have been utter gash. He keeps floating free kicks behind the attacking players. Where’s that whipped delivery he’s known for?
  18. double post
  19. The problem is, we need to score to win. Where’s that goal going to come from? Adams P71 G13 18.3% A Armstrong P6 1G 16.7% Redmond P172 G20 11.6% Elyanoussi P22 G4 18% Djenepo P51 G3 5.9% JWP P275 G31 11.3% Romeu P186 G5 2.9% No one better then a goal every 5 games...
  20. Wolves looked unfit and were fucking shit and we didn’t even lay a glove on them. Aside from Tino’s snap shot, the rest of the on target “efforts” were muffed shots that trundled slowly through to the keeper. I think what worries me most was that when chasing the game Tella was not tried and RH decided that Shane “goals goals goals” Long was the answer. Very worrying times.
  21. Yawn. It’s fucking boring watching this plodding clueless team.
  22. Look at that Djenepo trying to cross one in and the forwards are so static not on their toes at all looking to make a darting run. So easy to defend against.
  23. Do we ever win a header from a corner?
  24. Tella was electric at the end of last season so genius Ralph “the cooler” Hassenhuttl lets him cool off on the bench...
