Galbraith was excellent and should be in the same position on Saturday. I thought Inoussa showed some flashes but looked extremely raw. The difference in quality once Eom and Franco were on the pitch was stark. I thought Parker played very well and although you have to take the standard of...

I was pleasantly surprised and he took the chance that fell at his feet very well, while showing some real skill at winning headers and flicking the ball on. Got to add the caveat that he was playing against a tired League 2 defence of course. Hopefully people don't start thinking he's going to...

People still moaning about Saturday I see. I can only conclude that Sheehan is out shagging people's wives given how early his card has been marked by some. Still, at least we've halted that shocking run of no wins in three games...

They bought a £15m striker last season, along with a host of other players who wouldn't have been cheap. They're paying high enough fees and wages to get the likes of Kyogo (who cost Rennes around £10m in January), Demarai Gray, Bright Osayi-Samuel and Marvin Ducksch, a striker with German...

Above us on possession stats or above us in the league? I don't care about the former and the latter should be a given when you consider what they have spent/have to spend.

No argument there, but one game into the season seems especially early for some to have made up their minds about our manager and current players.

Wordle 1,514 2/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I have a standard opening word and then a standard second word if I get all blanks on the first. Blind luck that the usual second word happened to be the answer today.

'Slant' is an interesting way to look at it. Martin was in charge for 2 whole seasons and had the occasional run of good results, as you have highlighted. Sheehan has had less than half a season and managed the team previously close to the relegation places to an 11th place finish. There is no...

Comparing apples to oranges there. Martin's great run of results came after that horrendous run of a couple of wins in 20+ games (I'm sure someone else remembers the exact stats). We had 2 seasons of mostly poor results, then he'd deviate from his 'process' and things would improve, only for him...

Of course it wasn't, although he did play a big part. Changing a manager will almost always have more impact on a team than just changing one player would. Sadly, we've always had a few online fans who wanted us to fail so they could be proven right, even when most of us were on forums like...

Cheer up, it could be worse, you could be a Sheffield United fan tonight...

I'm not arguing with you that we were anything other than turgid shit, just the silliness of pointing to the final two games of last season as if that has any impact on this season. As someone said in another thread, we'll probably be completely average this season and finish in mid-table...

It probably would have, but it would have meant just as little to this season as your pointing out we failed to win our final two games does. I find it hilarious that you are trying to include the last two games from last season in your fretting about this season. Even if you have to include...

Fair play, it takes some doing to look at our end to last season and turn it into a negative. That's more creative than anything our players managed today anyway.

That's the spirit.

I think they'll be fine, but if they're struggling by Christmas, they'll definitely sack Parkinson. Been a fine manager in the lower leagues (and had some amazing cup upsets of course), but his Championship record is pretty dire. Bit like Warnock in that his football was never good enough for...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Sheehan pick a lot of more defensive teams for away games last season, often featuring Fulton getting plenty of minutes on the pitch? That approach yielded some excellent results. I'm more worried about Cabango's fitness, plus whether Burgess and Galbraith...

Peter Crouch was better with his feet than Moore could dream of being. Andy Carroll is the comparison for Moore I would use. Stonewall penalty for Southampton not given there. Replays show the lino was looking right at it.
