Thread | Tall Paul's injury down to lack of game time.
at 11:58 25 Nov 2024
I thought Tall Paul was excellent & gave us a new different dimension to our game.
He looked totally committed, good attitude & held the ball up brilliantly.
He also showed parts to his game that were unexpected, the ability to get past defenders & cause problems.
What about the one mazy run he did after winning the ball.
His injury is down to his lack of game time.
He'd only played 63 minutes in total this season. You cannot expect any player to come into a game of this magnitude without the necessary preparation.
No amount of training prepares you for the pace & intensity of the Premier lge.
I blame RM, he's never given Tall Paul enough game time or opportunities to prove himself.
Tall Paul certainly made a massive statement yesterday & if fit he should start every game.
Hope his injury is not too serious, he deserves a chance. |

I've thought for a long time that our players are just not fit enough, they all seem to fade & struggle to last 90 mins + that is why we regularly concede goals late in the game.
If you haven't got the best players then the first thing a coach should do is get them 110% fit.
If you can't match the opposition for quality you can make up for it with fitness. [Post edited 24 Nov 18:06]

Captain Jack.
How is he Captain.
The more I watch him the more I'm convinced he's useless.
He wanders about in a dream & constantly getting caught on the ball or out of position.
How come he's the only one on the pitch that never breaks sweat. |

Strange team selection today.
Looks like he's playing Fraser as Left Wing back.
Why does he insist on playing players out of position.
He'll regret this team selection today. [Post edited 24 Nov 12:55]

Thread | RM not very good at Maths either.
at 09:13 24 Nov 2024
Apparently RM has said that he is confident that his team can get a result against Liverpool & get themselves off the bottom of the lge.
Does he never look at the lge table, unless the FA feel sorry for us & give us 5 points in the very unlikely event of us beating Liverpool then we we are marooned at the bottom & will most likely be there for the rest of the season. [Post edited 24 Nov 9:14]

Sometimes the attitude of a player can be down to the treatment he gets from the Manager.
Managers should not have favourites (eg. JS & Manning).
Also Martin picks his players on how they are performing in training, that's wrong.
Your match day team should be based on the players with the most ability & those most likely to win the game for you regardless of what they do in training sessions.
Some players don't enjoy training but come alive in matches. |

He'll play 3 ctr backs.
Possibly utilise Taylor alongside THB & Slack Jack.(why did we waste money on Wood & Edwards, oh yeh, they're players for the future)
He'll use Sugawara and KWP as inverted full backs (whatever that means)
We don't know if Downes will be fit, but either way I expect RM to shoehorn Manning in somewhere (to be fair Manning has been half decent when played in a more forward role, but still not Premier quality).
The players might change but the dreaded system won't. [Post edited 21 Nov 11:15]

It's a cert that THB will move on, even in the unlikely event of us staying up.
Players always come back from International duty with their ambitions raised.
Mixing + training + playing with other International players that are earning twice as much as your are is bound to turn the head of even the most devoted players.
Bit at least we'll sell him for a lot more than we paid for him.
That'll make a change from recently having to get rid of players for a lot less than we paid for them. |

at 09:18 18 Nov 2024
It could be longer out with knee ligament damage.
Possibly 5 - 6 weeks depending on the severity of the injury.
Best scenario is that nothing is torn, if its just tweaked could be back in less than 3 weeks. |

Thread | Such sad news about legendary Dave Watson
at 09:12 18 Nov 2024
Before the England game started yesterday they did a feature on Dave Watson who is now suffering Dementia.
How sad to see him as he is now, I'll always remember him as a giant in the game.
At the time he was probably the best centre back in the game.
We were lucky enough to see him play for us albeit at the end of his memorable career.
Best wishes Dave & thanks for the memories. |

Sounds like a good idea.
Pierce Charles is a young goalkeeper that likes to & is confident playing out from the back.
Might be just what we need for playing in Championship under the management of Russell Martin next season. |

It would appear that Shea Charles is impressing in his loan spell at Sheff Wed.
It looks inevitable that we'll recall him in January ( assuming we have that option).
What's the chances of his goalkeeping brother who's also impressing for club & country joining him at St Mary's. |

I just love Pickfords attitude & enthusiasm.
He's fully committed every time he plays.
Don't understand why so many people knock him, he's by far the best we've got. |
