For a supposed playmaker, Andersen appears to make jacksh*t.
Frey forages like some kind of lumpen Swiss digger, but his lack of pace and bumbling control are embarrassing at least half the time.
Marti is clearly so besotted with Madsen (and Andersen) he feels compelled to play him regardless of his performances. He needs to be called out on it. Meanwhile, Saito's role as some kind of half-baked wing back is blunting our width.
Outstanding to me is our tackling - powder puff doesn't start to cover it!
As for the ref - words fail me! Penalised Frey for a complete non-foul on their keeper, just because the latter made an utter pig's ear of collecting a high ball. Stopped the game when their defender's head made contact with the ball then drops the ball to us a random twenty yards back. Ignored blatant fouls on Ashby and Dembele. He hasn't got a f*ckin' clue.
Overall, after a half-decent opening 10 minutes or so, we look flimsy, flouncy and fragile. This needs reshaping and revamping. |

I'm sure, apart from us, very few in football (players, managers or refs) read or take much note of anyone's opinions here or on other football message boards. We're not that important and certainly at the periphery of the 'noise' to which the professionals sometimes allude.
You could say, we're fanatically irrelevant. [Post edited 5 Oct 13:59]

I hope everyone's faith turns out justified. This club has fantastic fans that doesn't deserve its recent teams. |

So much for sending you a supportive post earlier! I clearly shouldn't have bothered.
Antoher presumptuous poster who thinks he knows me and feels the need to place himself on some kind of footballing high ground, when he knows jacksh*t about me, and my opinions are as good as his or anyone's here. Try to stop projecting your own need to picture me as a caricature created largely in your own mind, or go and see a therapist if you're having difficulty doing so.
I post a plethora of messages of various stripes and tones, so you're just another lazy and tedious reader, clearly. But what's wrong with 'provocation' anyway, especially when it's linked to some semblance of opinion and thinking? It's a football message board, not an old people's home. Better that than bland and boring! [Post edited 4 Oct 0:11]

I'm getting bad vibes of your bad vibes. And that side had a top-notch winger in it in Tricky. |

Another irritating bit of stupid secrecy from Ainsworth's tenure. Colback should be on a pay-as-you-play contract given how many games he misses from 'minor' knocks and avoidable suspensions, while JCS needs to be back asap to help secure our shaky defence, as Cook's a one-man anchor right now. I'm just as worried about how long it might take Chair, without a pre-season, to play his way back to form and fitness.

Which is a bad omen in itself. Whenever we take a big away following, the team seems to do its level best to bring us down. |

I'll raise you five - a RB, a no. 8, a governor, a CF, and a RW.
Even if we sold Chair, I'm not sure we'd get two or three of them, however.
We have two or three injuries, and we look half-shot.
Worrying! |

If needs must, is there a shout for starting Chair? His cameo was frankly appalling vs Hull, but maybe he now needs to use games to play himself back to match fitness and, hopefully, form. Sadly, after such a promising opening couple of games, I don't think Dembele is a starter right now. Saying that, of our front 5, only Saito has shone of late. I'd also be inclined to start Alfie and drop Madsen.
Not confident at all about the Derby game. A 90 minute performance (remember those?) and a credible draw would be a boon. [Post edited 3 Oct 19:32]

Once again, if we can see this, why can't the coaching team? Are they just less clever than we thought? |

If you think that, basically, saying it's all OK and we just need to keep playing like that to rise up the league, you're delusional, sorry. |
