Leeds battering Everton, should be at least 2 up. 
 

Our “effort” last season is looking more and more pathetic every week. Lego headed cock thinking we could out football sides….

Embarrassing just how bad we were last season. The combination of Lego refusing to budge from his way of playing, and SR not giving us the tools we needed to make a fight of it was just a complete shitshow. Not sure I’d want to go up again the whole time Solak and his bunch of cunts are running the show.

Karl Darlow having a very good game another keeper 10 times better than Baz at a tenth of the price

Coventry are really tailing off. Norwich the opposite after making a brilliant managerial change.

I am surprised they never opt'd for their U18s manager....you know, the one with no first team managerial experience.

Guess their algorithm is not properly calibrated.

Any other week this works but didn’t we beat Everton and Leeds regularly under that Lego headed cock thinking? 😂

Norwich look pretty handy now. They will shoot up the league. Cov still probably fluke a draw, but Norwich miles better. Fast attacking football.

That can't be right. Managers and formations don't have any impact on results, everyone knows that.

Makes you wonder why anyone has one really. Just let the players decided who plays and how they line up. Seems like they all just suddenly start playing better when they want anyway

Makes you wonder why given the experience of their two managers compared to ours this year we remain ahead of them in the league. Weird old world.

I did say Coventry will falter.

Norwich on the other hand are coming on well. They’ll be tipped for promotion next season if they finish strongly.

It's really where football went wrong. In the old days, every community was a thriving hub of clubs. Just a group, getting together under a name and playing for the enjoyment of playing, for however long it lasted.

Then people came in looking to organise, control and yes, manage the players. Where's the freedom from your working life when someone comes in telling you to keep possession, because of something their slide rule is telling them? These people just couldn't leave football alone to develop organically, for the better.

Norwich and Sheff Utd will both finish up above us unless we find a way to make our better squad play to their potential.

Give it time. At the moment Tonda only been in charge for a few games, he has a small sample size of data. Once he has more data at his disposal to analyse we will get a clear picture of what’s going on.

You mean he hasn’t even overanalysed yet?!

Oh Jesus 😢

He had a great chance to shoot towards the end instead he opted for the pass across the box. Ironic that it was the complete opposite he was doing for us - shooting instead of passing.

He looks broken. Big shame. Hopefully he will come good.

Just saw Southampton are now 15th with some of the same players Martin had. But it’s nothing to do with managers, tactics or formations. 

He did bleat on (and on and on and on) about how it "takes time" for his tactics and philosophy to fully bed in. Seems he was right, it takes two seasons ....

7, 10, 24, 28, 27

They will make an appearance, on the bit of paper you have to fill out 😂

I also guessed 1-1 against Pompey but my bet didn’t go through 😢😂

There was a Swansea fan on here when Russell Martin was appointed and he said that the first four, five maybe even six games it’ll look bleak, we’ll lose games and be poor.

Then after that it would click and we’d go on a run.

Cant remember who that guy was but he was correct, we played Leeds and suddenly we looked very good.

I wonder if there are many Rangers fans who would say the same thing?

I watched Norwich v Cov last night, got to say I was impressed with the canaries, I hadn't realised they've picked up Harry Amass who was on loan at Sheffield Wednesday first half of the season, he's a good player, definitely agree they will finish above us
