Yeah I did wonder about Jelert. Haven't seen anything of him though.

100% agree. We are SO ponderous. We've got the most one-footed player you've ever seen at LB, so when 50% of the moves seem to start there, it's no wonder things get 'recycled' back to the keeper. Unless there's an easy pass on for Manning, he always turns and goes back to a CB or to the keeper. Eventually it ends up with the RB before being worked back into the middle, only yesterday the only thing there was in the middle was blue shirts. So, it goes back to a CB and they pelt it, meaning creative players like Azaz watch it fly over their heads. Manning's less ponderous when it's in the opponent's half, possibly because there's less risk involved? Who knows! We've made some great signings this summer, but so far the ghost of Russball is still ingrained in too many players.

This is atrocious. Playing like it's any other game. Will's a clever bloke and knows a lot more than I do...so I'm hoping this is part of some master plan cos this is shit.

I was thinking about this. Will's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't, same for Baz. Don't play - WS isn't showing faith in GB to perform under intense pressure. Play (and it goes wrong) - GB goes to bits and everyone says he should have played Macca. I guess AM did play in the away game at Fratton Park, so he has some experience at least of the kind of game it is.

My lad's hasn't.

That video never gets old

Welcome Finn, nice to have someone with some good stats behind them at the level we're CURRENTLY at!

Wow, that escalated quickly! Gone from "best of luck, good professional" to "you fucking snake!" In the space of an hour! Hope it's not true, but sounds like it probably is.

Fuck sake, I'm gutted about this one. Dibling I could take or leave, but this one leaves us notably weaker as a team.

4/10

My lad just got back from the game and reckoned Downs' workrate off the ball was spot-on. He was making all kinds of runs and finding openings, but never received any service.

Mara did look a player, to be fair. Twice. Once against Man City in the cup, and the other against Huddersfield.

In the PL we concede from that, guaranteed.

Their press was relentless down our left in the first half. Suspect that's why Welington lost his head a bit.

Ultimate Soccer Manager was the most fun, IMO. You could do all the above, plus expand your stadium and change kits/sponsors, IIRC?
