Stupid. The majority of our games this season, especially at home, will be against sides that will plant 11 men behind the ball. 2-0 up, controlling the game, keeping the ball and there’s audible boos because we turned round and recycled possession which ultimately dragged them across the pitch...

Two contrasting styles of football. We’ll score one more than you versus if you don’t concede you don’t lose. I think in fairness to Critch his management suits the league above more. He can undoubtedly set a team up to nullify an opposition and that’s a handy skill to have when 90% of the...

Just seen a few of the highlights from the Premier League teams friendlies oversees and it had me thinking. With the odd kid thrown in here and there most the teams were playing fairly close to what you’d expect their first eleven to be come the first weekend. We’ve seen a half and half team for...

Apparently announcing his next team this week. IMO a much better option than Chris Martin, but no idea what sort of wage he’d demand.

Not played a game of football in 427 days. Just read a piece on him where he says ‘I’m sat here, twiddling my thumbs. I’m buzzing to get involved again.’ Worth a punt on a one year deal? When fit he’d be a class above this league. I know we’ve Norburn, Kenny and Trybull but if Trybull turns out...

Is a bloody good one for this level. I’d be happy going into a Championship season with it.. Grimmy Lyons Marv Pennington Husband Compare that to what started against Plymouth in Critch’s first game in charge.. Maxwell Turton Nottingham Marv Mitchell

Get him gone. We’ve gone backwards at an impressive rate. The football is dire. Let Dobbie have a go for the last 10 or so games. He genuinely cannot, CAN NOT, do any worse. Absolutely horrific appointment.

.. gets slated to the high heavens. I’d much rather we went away to teams like this (see Burnley, Sheff Utd..) and attacked and tried to score. You can forgive the gap in quality if we are genuinely giving it a go. It’s a lot harder to forgive when we set up negatively, everyone behind the ball...

Saw a poster last week refer to him as Dracula. Never like slagging players off but it’s a very accurate description. Causes complete panic every defensive set piece. Making a mistake isn’t just fumbling the ball, it’s instilling a complete lack of confidence into the defence. It’s countless...

We are not going to win every game. We are not going to perform like we did against Cov every game. Tonight was always going to be a slog against a wounded animal, it had 0-0 written all over it until the type of goal you’d expect to win a game like that.. it happens. Just saw a comment...

I’d like a crate of whatever the people who chose him for man of the match were drinking. If CJ puts that performance in he gets crucified. You can’t blame someone for a lack of ability but he didn’t fancy it at all tonight.

One loan player in the starting 11. Granted it was Patino and he was one of our best players but still it’s extremely encouraging that a side of our own players can stand up and perform like that at the supposed best team in the league.

What’s everyone’s take on a cynical professional foul. I listen to a podcast where the presenter spoke about how Carey’s was 100% a red and it should be a red card every single time if there’s no intention of playing the ball. He said claims that there would then be 4 or 5 red cards a match if...

Perhaps our most under-rated player? Doesn’t just fill a gap in a few positions as say Reece James did, but he’s effective in every position he’s put. He was brilliant yesterday in a position that, given we seem to be focusing on strengthening in central midfield, he may find himself playing...

Little bit of fun for a Sunday evening.. Unsung hero: Win of this season: Goal of the season: Player of the season: Signing of the season: Surprise performer: Underwhelming performer: I’ll go first. Unsung hero: Connolly. Win of this season: Fulham (H) Goal of the season: Bowler vs...

I’ve seen enough of Grimshaw not to be of the opinion that there isn’t a part of his game where he’s worse than Maxwell. He is better in many areas, kicking, distribution, shot stopping, I’d argue positioning. And the areas which aren’t particularly his strongest Maxwell isn’t any better in that...

Us to win, Reading to beat them lot 20/1.

Around 4 mins in, when Keshi scores at the bottom of the screen he turns and celebrates in front of the Preston fans! Brilliant.

I’ve just bought Hull tickets, will I be able to collect them from Hull’s ticket office or does it have to be Blackpool’s?

Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction? Not from Blackpool myself so unsure, I’ve a couple mates coming with me Saturday for the game, they’re United fans. They kick off early against Villa but it’s not officially being televised, anyone know anywhere that’ll be showing it...
