Should Russell Martin Go If He Fails To Beat Leicester
at 23:37 14 Oct 2024

Football is all about results

Goals change games .......and so do mistakes !!

Just about every goal we have conceded this season could have been avoided and we have missed chances at the other end too.

I keep hearing that we will learn from our mistakes, but we never do.

This Shows How Warped Football Has Become
at 23:32 14 Oct 2024

Saw something a week or so back, from a Chelsea fan. It said something about how everyone was laughing at Chelsea for buying Palmer as a replacement for Mason Mount, after the latter abandoned the Bridge for a bumper pay rise.

Since their respective moves....

Mount = 1 goal and 1 assist

Palmer = I think 28 or 29 goals and 10 or 11 assists

Everton Carabao Cup Game Matchday Thread
at 13:01 17 Sep 2024

I seem to recall Everton starting with about 5 first teamers in their game in the previous round at home to Doncaster Rovers, plus many others on the bench.

It's catch 22 for us.

We need to give runs outs to lots of players to get them up to speed, but don't want to risk injury or suspension.

Perhaps a side similar to Cardiff in the previous round, although 3 or 4 of them started v Man U.

I'm expecting to see....

A McC in goal
ABK in defence
Smallbone in Midfield
Sam AA and Wee Man on the flanks
R Stewart up front

The rest will depend on how brave RM is

Sulemana could even get a run out of he isn't injured again.

I'm not expecting anything result wise, but it may give a few players a chance to impress.

He was brought on at Wolves away to sure up the defence (1-1 (Ings)).
The trouble was he was asked to play Right Back, but he saw himself more of a Right Winger that day !! :-)

Perhaps it escaped your memory, but you should have mentioned that Danso was sent off in that draw with Man Utd. His ridiculous tackle on McTominay earned him a 2nd yellow, which could easily have been a red on it's own. It left us at 1-1 with a man down for the last 20 minutes, so any credit in this match goes to Danso's team mates and definitely not to Danso himself.

ABK got a run out in the 2nd half of the Cardiff game, so I fully expect him to be given a role tomorrow night as well.

As for Ugochukwu, or fondly know as Big Les, he is a midfielder and actually started the game against Man U on Saturday, completing 64 mins before being subbed.

What was congestion like yesterday ?
at 14:06 16 Sep 2024

From Itchen, past the Northam Fan Zone to the footbridge was horrendously packed. There was no clear path through, as fans were randomly stopping to chat or watch the band. Yes there were some 'keep clear' areas painted on the ground, but it was so busy that nobody could actually read the signs.

The footbridge was packed as usual and the stewards that should have been sorting out the clear ways in the fan zone, were actually stood half way up the ramp to the footbridge, employing a stop-start crowd calming tactic, that actually had the reverse affect.

We can't score and can't defend.

Last season the main criticisms were that we didn't score enough in games and our defence/keeper gifted the opposition chances that they sometimes took. Now we don't score at all (bar 1 injury time consolation) and we keep on gifting chances at the back that get taken more often.

I'm just glad I went to Cardiff and saw us score 5 goals (and concede 3) !!

5 Things About Saturday
at 13:51 16 Sep 2024

1. Didn't bother with the fan zone, although walking past the Northam before the game, the band sounded quite good. After the game, it created a massive bottleneck for exiting fans.

2. Nice tribute and as I stated in another post, it was good to see many Mancs also clapping.

3. Poor effort, especially in the 2nd half with us shooting towards them - but then I guess the players showed nothing for them to get excited about.

4. Stewards have been doing this for years - have moved from the family centre this season where it was almost every game and so far it has happened at both games in the Itchen. I've mentioned it many times to their faces and in surveys, but they are clearly told to do it.

5. We do have a game tomorrow night, but obviously Ipswich is the priority.

I'm pretty sure he was on the bench for the Play-Off Final, but what has happened since then, I think only the Loch Ness Drogba himself, knows !!

It's fashionable to wear kids shin pads these days - the ones that are barely bigger than a fag packet.

FA rules stipulate that all players must wear shin pads, so some players prefer to go for the smallest ones available.

When I played Sunday League, I used to wear ones that were like a sock, incorporating decent shin and ankle protection, because of what you could get away with back then. In my Veterans League now, I still wear good quality large shin pads, but generally that is now because players are slower than they think they are and often 'mistime' tackles !! :-)

Yes I also know a few Arsenal fans that were questioning why he was even dropped, let alone allowed to leave.
Apparently it's a Spanish thing. Spanish manager prefers Spanish players, including goalkeeper.

1 of them did however took pleasure in pointing out that despite being top drawer, he has actually been relegated twice, with Sheff Utd and Bournemouth, so has joined us to get his hat trick !! :-)

He's a left back and is way down the pecking order, despite a few good performances in the Cup last season.

With a year left on his contract and a crazy bid for him, it makes sense for the club and player I guess.
