I can smell a Reading equaliser coming here (even if it isnt exactly all hands to the pump). Its going to come down Coulsens side…hes getting rinsed

Im glad i asked the question now. What a good answer, thanks for taking the time to type that out. Next time i see big marv hoofing one out of play at least i’ll know the reason

Forgetting how tedious the footballs been for a second can someone with coaching badges or more footballing knowledge than me explain what our tactics are trying to achieve. (Not a thread to bash Critchley but a genuine question) For 3 and a half games now its been give it to big Marv who sends...

Anyone else been really impressed with Lavery? Getting absolutely no service but determined to make stuff happen by closing down at every opportunity. I’ll admit i’ve questioned whether hes good enough but i cant question his attitude. Fighting for absolutely everything up there

Bit of a tedious game if we’re being honest. Having said that its a good point away from home. Really not much to add in terms of analysis. It felt like Critch was happy for a point and he got it. Whether thats the right approach or not is hard to tell at this stage but not losing certainly...

The most frustrating thing was watching us aimlessly hoof it up for almost the entire first half. Don’t get me wrong, it this was an ‘industrial’ way of keeping us up then i’d be onboard. Fact is this is a team thats at its best when actually playing football. They cant defend for long periods...

I was fuming when i saw those subs at whenever it was, 60 minutes ish. I said immediately it was asking for trouble and way way to defensive considering how much time was left. I was wrong and happy to admit it. Wherher you agree with big Mick as an appointment or not what he does have is an in...

…Is the exact opposite of what i said. You might want to reread.

Appleton has to go for me. Why on earth did he wait for them to equalise before making changes? Anyone watching that could see a goal coming 10 minutes before it did. So why did he just let it happen? No attempt to bolster the defence or midfield whatsoever. If hed made changes to try and...

Since world cups began the host side generally gets favourable decisions. Case and point englands 3rd in the final against Germany. Having said that its always been marginal decisions rather than out and out cheating. What makes it more remarkable is theres now VAR so you cant even blame human...

There are of course extenuating circumstances but ultimately we’ve just lost to easily the worst team I’ve seen in the division. That leads to a blame game. I don’t rate nor even like Appleton but i don’t think the terrible header back or the ridiculous karate challenge from Marv rests at his...

Firstly we’ve just gone away to a team at the top of the league and for the most part played the better football. Secondly (and after an hours plus hindsight) the ref probably gave us as many bad decisions as Sheff U. Don’t get me wrong he was awful but as has been pointed out we did get away...

Not sure i agree with that. Some of the saves looked incredible at first viewing (madines header specifically) but when you watched the replays i think ots fair to say you would have expected him to save everything which he did

Brilliant today. Not just the result but the effort. I know football fans in general (including me) form their opinion based on the result but when it was 1-1 I turned around to my dad and said I don’t care if we win lose or draw now. Theyve given it everything and I don’t think any reasonable...

And right on queue, 10 seconds after my rant we suddenly turn into Brazil!

I Feel a bit sorry for the players to be honest. I genuinely think theyve given it their all every game (i include Rotherham in that) but they are just simply not good enough. Ive not seen anyone strolling around or not caring. It might be partly also a formation issue. It was mentioned on...

Yeah i agree with that. It definitely felt like his managerial experience was a big key in making very astute changes and Kompany had no answer. Ironic teally because that was one of the criticisms of Critch, that he simply didnt know how to change a game agree

How do you analyse a game like that? So many talking points but ultimately the main takeaway is that the team is willing to fight for the shirt. I didn’t want him originally but full credit to MA and all the players. Great attitude and great result. One of my favourite pool games in the last few...

Actually found todays game a bit boring to be honest. It felt a bit flat from both teams and not really played at a tempo that ive become used to watching in the championship. Couldnt care less though after another great result against a more established more experienced team at this level. Is...

Enjoyed the game but i think the scoreline was a little flattering whilst we still deserved the win. I find it hard to set expectations for this team. At the start of the season picking up the odd win/point here and there and scraping survival would have been enough for me. I think my mindset...
