That’s not what I have on the card. Sorry. Come on Bully, show him what he would have won...
-
I’ll allow it. 2-0!
-
After the quick-fire round it’s 1-0 to Fan the Flames over MLG. Fascinating contest. Now on to the grammar check round...
-
That’s the trouble, these average players get paid too much...

Good performance by the lads. Hope we can somehow go all the way. Well done Nathan Redmond. I’ve been one of his harshest critics all season. The reason is that when he’s braver and tries to make things happen he’s not a bad player but all too often he goes for the backward option and when he decides he will play the ball forward he does so with such hesitation that he messes it up. One swallow doesn’t make a summer but if he can play more like this, week in week out against EPL teams then we’d be a better more effective team.

I wouldn't trust Redmond to start a lawnmower let alone a football match...
-
Just wait until P*mp*y come to town. 200,000 easy!
-
Why do his off days always seem to be match days? Apparently he’s amazing in training.

With each passing game I like him less. He's everything that's wrong about our team at the moment. 1) Never brave enough to take a chance and sprint into the box to tempt a trip or set up a chance 2) As soon as he gets the ball he stops. It's pass and move, not pass and wait for the other team to reorganize 3) His shooting is absolutely abysmal. Frequently basing over or just muffing it straight to the keeper 4) His passing is atrocious frequently passing straight to a defender when he has wide open team-mates. 5) Also, he doesn't appear to understand the value in a lead pass, playing the ball into space for someone to run onto. When his passes don't find an opposing player they are either behind or straight at a team-mate, killing moves stone dead. 6) He's moaning at his own team-mates but having a chit chat and a laugh with the oppo.

His legs are shot and he knows it. He won't commit forward too often because he knows he can't get back. If you look at many of the goals we concede we look outnumbered because we are and often Ryan will saunter into the top of the picture in a replay while the opposition are all celebrating. The centre backs know this and often shift over to compensate but then get caught in the middle of the passer and the recipient. Sorry Ryan, I appreciate all you have done but you are not EPL level anymore.

What’s the point of N’Lundulu anyway? He’s hopeless. He just comes on and fouls players. Is that the best we’ve got? A lumbering carthorse?
-
The confidence of the players is so fragile. They don’t expect to score when alone with the keeper, don’t expect decisions to go our way and won’t even appeal for decisions. When the opposition get a break like the ball coming off the post straight to an unmarked striker, instead of saying “they were lucky, we’ve got this, let’s keep trying” we just throw our hands up and go “oh well, not our day, best stop trying if everything is against us”. 2-1 down about 40 minute to play (incl. stoppages) and our lot have binned this game off. Not good enough!

There was definitely automatism. Automatically passing back and sideways with shoulders slumped and heads down. Need a software update or a reboot up the arse.

Jake Vokins is 28??

We will stay up but I fear for next season. With no real investment and many of top wage earners on loan at other clubs how do we avoid the drop? GK. We have 3 players who are all error prone and don’t inspire confidence FB: KWP is class, Bertie is finished, no legs left, liability. JV is still young. CB: JV, JB, JS, MS all look like carthorses, frequently ball watch, dive in, turn their backs, stand off. No real leader back there. CDM: OR, ID, JWP. Romeu too slow, ID too raw, JWP too nice. Obviously JWP helps with the free kicks but he’s not a leader. MIDs: Only Armstrong looks decent, and he often has stupid moments. MD, NR, TW are all the same player. Just constantly give away possession. For: DI head turned, injured too often. CA gets some goals but doesn’t ever seem to gain confidence, misses some shockers. Probably forgotten a few, forgettable players anyway. Tella, Obafemi, Lundulu, all shit. Doesn’t look like a very bright future.

I could forgive the team for a loss if, from the first whistle they laid siege to the BHA goal, really tried to make things happen, take on players, take chances but they don’t, they just recycle recycle recycle. It’s boring, timid and ineffective. We’re approaching MoPe levels of, a draw is a win type negativity. Other teams know how to play us. Just conserve energy in the first and wait for us to give them the ball and win in the second. Easy easy win for BHA today.
-
Do they watch the game back with the players and I don’t know show them the ball they should have played or where they should have been defending or is it a case of, “oh that was unfortunate, see you all on Monday for a kickabout, laugh and shooting practice against our shit keepers”?
-
All this talk about plan B. But do we even have a plan A. No one looks like they have a clue out there. When we do somehow spawn our way through we’ll choose the wrong pass or fluff an easy 10 yard ball anyway.
-
Ourcseason in a nutshell, 90+ 3, forward to Redmond, waits....waits....waaaaaaiiitssss....pass back. *final whistle*
-
Our mentality seems to be “if we aren’t fussed and don’t try then it doesn’t really matter”. Sick of these losers.
-
Really scraping the barrel bringing Dan “goal machine” N’Lundelu on. What happened to Obafemi? Guy’s just disappeared. Injured?
-
Towel thrown in. Lundeloo on.
-
Body language is terrible. Walking around, shoulders slumped, heads down. Our tails should be up, throwing the kitchen sink at them but these lot look like they are just clock watching until the whistle goes and they can go home.
-
Nope.
-
We work so hard to get the ball back only to just stop and then give it away.
