I thought this was going to be a thread about my posts on here!

Depends what he means by world class ..... I give you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Marinovic

Really pleased for him, great player great pro. It's a shame in a way he didn't get a send-off at Ashton Gate - a game where we knew it was his last. But obviously the move makes sense for everyone.

It's interesting reading the comments under the BBC match reports. A lot of hammers fans clearly hating Moyes. Seems crazy a European trophy last 16 of UEFA and 6th in the Prem. Not sure what more they want/expect - presumably about the quality of football?

The commentary on ESPN was really poor, with lots of gushing over "premier league quality" and this "this we surely be LM biggest result yet as manger". Although he did say something JL would like - "Bristol City are the ones really playing front-foot football now!"

Something we developed under NP that was huge today was defending set pieces. We were terrible when NP arrived and now even against Ward-Prowse you feel a confidence we can defend them well. Really strong defensive performance today. Great game! Bell much improved, Tommy with a goal, Pring looking awesome, and Max MOTM performance - wonderful stuff! COYR

Judging by today (don't watch a lot of Prem), Bowen would be a huge miss, thought he was fantastic, off the ball to - amazing movement.

Tooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think I read something about the international broadcasting only being aloud 10 mins before kick off - unless it's picked as a main game. That is certainly always the case for these types of games here in California.

I do live in the US and had a family member try and order from them. They first tried to get it delivered to the UK, but it never arrived. It took them 6 months to get the company to refund. They contacted me to have it delivered here and never delivered + tried to claim it had been signed for. Also looking on trutpilot will highlight these are not isolated experiences. Are two reviews on the first page. They definitely have some sool looking stuff, but I would avoid them.

This is what Pearson said about BT stepping into the role - NP is the one person recently involved with the club whose football opinion I would really trust. He is also the one person I would expect to be honest about his feelings on something like this or abstain from commenting.

I wonder if we could use any (potential) Brownhill clauses as part of the negotiation.

Millwall forums view - Good shape so far Watching some good stuff Tell you what, if their keeper does that thing where he puts his foot on the ball like a ponce one more time, I hope someone cleans his ******* clock. - :laugh: what an odd thing to get wound up about. Good solid half. Gave them very little. Not exactly blessed with much action, but after the last two results I would have expected a display like this come along, solid and under no real pressure from the home side. We are doing the right thing in being very hard to break down and staying in the game. Good half again...... .....If we press them a bit higher, we’ll win this.

I'd say measured, maybe. Certainly not entertaining, but wouldn't say we've played badly - However, you want to see us take it to the opposition more at home, up the tempo a bit. We're maybe a little to concerned with preventing them springing their counter attack.

Two fantastic balls out from Vyner. Breaking the lines with one pass

Obviously, I'm not saying this is why he is starting, but looking at the Millwallfans forums and social - they were hoping we wouldn't bring Weimann on early to see him as a boggy player and seem to loathe him in general for some reason. I remember the hat trick against them a couple of years ago (another New Year's game I think!?), but other than that I'm not sure why he seems to feature in their thoughts so much.

Pretty dull game, but a point away 4 unbeaten. Not too bad. Think we'll see a little more quality at home against Millwall.

Are you asking for what's his story?

Well, I'd say controlled, but a bit dull. Not helped by a pretty terrible atmosphere. We've had some okay chances mostly through crosses from Sykes. A few lazy passes here and there would like us to sharpen up a bit. Side note - interesting to see the difference between Wells and TC. To me, Wells seems to occupy defenders/make space by sitting a little deeper and pressing hard. Where as TC seems to occupy defenders more with his positioning, and moving them around.

From what I can see Birmingham fans are excited about Donovan starting (might be his first start), Just 17, one to keep an eye on maybe.

found this on youtube assume this is it:

When they are passing at the back and even into midfield there is no threat, so yes, think you can let them have the ball in those positions. They have possession but it is controled. The impetus is on them to do something with it not for us to win it back.

I think the possession stat is thrown because for nearly the entire 2nd half we were 2 up and didn't need to chase the game. So we were able to let them have the ball and almost say see if you can play through us. It's part of what I thought made a confident performance. The press was great and disciplined, we weren't in a hurry to get it back. We were confident the opportunity to do so would come.

I think LM pretty much said that's what it would be like - having a general style of play, but also coaching the players with different options and letting them problem-solve to work out what is working and not working once on the pitch.

:laugh: - this post made me think - I loved Annis today (I mentioned elsewhere more so for his defensive performance!). I was commenting just a few weeks ago we need someone for the left forward position and that it should be a priority in Jan - I'm not saying we shouldn't be looking or that Twine wouldn't be a great signing, but in just a few performances from Annis it already feels a less pressing concern. I think the most exciting thing about it is it still feels like he can improve from where he is.
