The assumption would have to be that Widdell isn't looking good enough in training to convince the manager. Maybe that's the right call, maybe it isn't. We're so desperate for a creative spark that I'd like to see him get a chance, but he did very little on the pitch in his Cup appearances...

He doesn't love him enough to start him regularly this season. To be fair, it'd be a brave manager who'd start an inexperienced 20 year old ahead of a more seasoned pro with over 200 appearances for club and country.

Theoretically we've brought in better players, but we don't know that yet. I'd say Burgess is an upgrade on Darling, but that doesn't really help us in an attacking sense (and actually may be a downgrade in terms of threat at attacking set-pieces, although the Forest game showed what Burgess...

There's a very good chance you'll be proven right in the long run also, more managers fail than succeed. Doesn't change the fact that making your mind up after 1 game is fucking pathetic either way.

Easily proven, just look at the poll here: https://jackarmy.net/forum/threads/poll-where-will-we-finish.26443/ The most popular option (just) was that we'd finish 7th-12th, although more people predicted 1st to 6th than outside the playoffs. So it seems like there were plenty of people who...

My apologies, I should have remembered you gave him the grace of a full 90 minutes before making your mind up.

Could be something to do with the article being written 10 games into the league season while you've been criticising him since the preseason friendlies?

I don't think I can take the tension any longer. I can't eat, I can't sleep...

Thanks for the info. I read some seemingly authentic academic articles, but we all know that means nothing with the current version of the internet and I'm definitely not an expert in this field.

Wordle 1,583 2/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 We've got a hat-trick! At least I used a different opening word to Mute otherwise people were definitely going to claim we're the same person with multiple accounts. I promise I couldn't fake his knowledge of jazz...

Not arguing your point about petrol, but I'll be happier switching to an EV once the dependence on rare earth magnets has been overcome, battery production becomes cleaner, more recycling methods are developed. I'm aware there's various research efforts underway across the world on these issues...

Except as pointed out earlier in this thread, participation in youth sports seems to be thriving, it's when people become adults that it drops off. Technology has obviously changed vastly over time and of course parents should consider how to handle screen time, but this idea that kids are all...

No, today was not good and an improvement in performances is needed. But you've been carping about Sheehan since the start of the season (which he was coming into with a fantastic record as Swans manager), so it's not like you ever gave him a chance. There's been more good performances and...

Obviously things can change quickly in football, but I don't think the owners hand Sheehan a 3 year contract in the summer if they're not pretty confident in him at the time.

Ah, that's a shame. You've been such a staunch supporter of Sheehan until today. Glad you gave it 10 games before writing him off at least.

My 12 year old has just joined his first team after being a latecomer to the sport and should be playing his first match next weekend. I'm chuffed for him.

Think they said at the outset that it would take at least a year, so we can probably expect it to be more like 18 months. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the final results will be underwhelming.

I honestly didn't think my post needed the sarcasm font, maybe I was wrong.

I've been out and about, so not following this one closely. I've come in to see we've picked up a point away at a recent PL team who we have a terrible recent record against and one of our players was the clear MOTM. I'm guessing everyone is delighted?
