    Entertainment after a hard week in work.

    It's so maddening to see players get played into space, either out wide or (very rarely for us) centrally and as soon as they come up against the slightest resistance, stop, put their foot on the ball and pass back - usually to a defender - and then stroll off like they've done us all a solid. I...

    Sheehan On Borrowed Time?

    He gives the impression of a coach who thinks he has a lot more time than he likely does, and the team reflects that as well in the way we set up and play. It's slow and waiting for things to come to us rather than playing/partying like it's 1999... I have no idea what the owners have told him...

    Bet Sheehan is wishing the club pushed harder to get the LOB deal done. I certainly am. Not saying that putting LOB into this team would magically change everything, but we miss that driving presence in the middle of the park. Stamenic, LOB and a No 10. *sigh*

    Just a mess of a game really. Tried a tweak to the formation but the players looked out of sorts in it. Then the mess of a red card, then we're up against it being man down and swapping players around again. Never really got going. More effort in the 2nd half, but again, just a mess of a night...

    At half-time we might as well have packed up and gone home. We're showing a bit more intent this half, that's all I'm saying.

    Better 2nd half - although that was a pretty low bar to get to. At least it feels like we might get something out of the game now.

    Honesty, Yalcouye should just not react, but that is a MEGA DIVE from their player and a soft as shit red card.

    You might even be spared the 'Vrabel Special' curse, as if that was going to happen, yesterday's game was as likely as any. The 'Vrabel Special' when he was in Tennessee was to smoke the Chiefs/Packers/Pats/Baltimore etc - usually on the road, and often more than one such result in a row, then...

    Cam Congreve

    Good for him. Always liked him because his style of play is to take people on and have a go; something often lacking in players these days. Whether he’s good enough to do it with us in the Championship I don’t know, but he’s shown enough out on loan to have a decent pro career by the looks of it.

    Delighted with a point. Howling performance otherwise. We looked lethargic today, game passed us by. You feel we're getting to a crossroads at the moment and the season could go downhill very quickly if we don't get our act together. Toothless going forwards again, players reluctant to attack...

    Marko Stamenic

    Lived in Auckland for a year. Loved the place. Loved NZ as a whole. Lived in an apartment downtown - walking distance to the harbour and restaurants, bars etc. We'd get the ferry over to Devonport, grab some fish and chips and a bottle of wine, climb to the top of the hill and admire the...

    So, this is how I find out Callahan has been binned! I read your post and had to double take. The timing is surprising, but not the sacking itself. Seemed like a dead man walking for a while. Yesterday was back to normal turgid business after the freak win at Arizona. We are just devoid of...

    Domestic games to be played abroad

    I can just picture us getting promoted again and getting Man Utd at home on opening day, only to find out it's being played in Beijing or something..

    Widell

    I think there's certainly some understandable frustration that - of all the new players brought in to midfield - the one that appeared to fit the biggest need in midfield is the only one who hasn't been integrated into the team so far. There may well be very good reasons why that hasn't happened...

    Less entitlement and more encouragement

    I caught some of it. Have to admit I wasn't really following what was going on, but it looked like jaxs rumbled the real identity of 'Curtis' and had some fun with it☠️

    That was the other game I watched yesterday. Diggs was certainly on a mission. Maye was impressive. That scramble play where he had a Bills players hanging on his back and still got the ball to Diggs for 1st down on the sideline was hero stuff.

    Titans get their first win of the season in crazy style 22-21 with a walk off field goal. What the hell did I just watch. Cardinals scored TDs on their first 3 drives, they were stomping all over us (it would have seemed insanity for anyone to suggest they would not score another point). Titans...
