I must admit I wrote that post after a few beers and had completely forgot about the depleted team that faced Cardiff that day. 

But you can easily replace that Cardiff game with Blackburn away or Sheff Wed away and my point will still stand. 

We have no given right to win those games but going into those games at the time we all considered us to have enough to have beaten those teams. 

 

 

I suspect Leicester and Leeds fans were saying the same thing in the past 48 hours

Wednesday already sold 7,000 tickets - have asked for more!

Will be like a home game for them - as you say, think Blackburn are in big trouble - they certainly didn’t look up for the fight on Wednesday night either 

I think they can and will lose their three tough games mainly because of their woeful defence, lose against Wednesday and they're down

I think Blackburn are in massive trouble with the games they have left, Leeds, Leicester & Coventry, their home game with Sheff' Weds' will be make or break

Roi Mage at 66/1 each way 1st six, bound to be placed, easy money

It’s all about risk, isn’t it?

The fact is that, under the terms of the Common Travel Area agreement, Irish and UK citizens can travel freely between the two countries without the need for a passport. That’s the case however you travel and wherever you arrive.

But the point is the “Irish and UK citizens” bit. When you arrive there’s a risk that, at the border, someone might want evidence that you’re a UK citizen and therefore have the right to travel under the CTA.

The risk of that happening is much greater at Dublin airport. Because by the time you get to the border check you’re mixed up with people arriving from places all over the world. When you arrive on a boat everyone is coming from the UK. There’s still a risk you’ll be asked to prove you’re a UK citizen, but for obvious reasons the risk is less.

And for a UK citizen I don’t think we’ve got any way of proving that other than a passport. 

 

I don't understand why someone would take their driving licence and not their passport, why take the risk ? (unless in the unlikelihood they don't have a passport) My Mrs has an Irish passport and always flies through customs and a "welcome home greeting" while i'm queueing up with all the other plebs in passport control  Thank you Brexit !!!

Just been told i'm going to Cheltenham in three weeks time to see Morcheeba, any thoughts ?

Big win for Plymouth.  Looks like 2 out of Hudds, Sheff W and Brum going down now

Blackburn still to face Leeds, Leicester and Coventry, their big game is Sheff' Wednesday at home, play like they did the other night and they'll go down

I’ve always used my passport for Dublin ( how big an airport is Dublin ffs huge )

It is ******* massive , if you're going to the West coast then Knock airport is great, in and out in two minutes 

Can’t beat Bovril on a cold winters day

In typical City style over many years it's usually good game, followed by an average game followed by a poor game in no particular order

Also, make sure you check with the airline as to what sort of ID they require you to have.

I have a feeling (or I think I read) that one carrier who has a route to the ROI acknowledged that whilst entry to the country wasn't passport specific and that they'd accept other forms of identification, as an airline, their requirement was that you'd need a passport to fly. 

Pretty sure you're right when flying to ROI but certainly don't need it when sailing into Rosslare or Dun Laoghaire/Dublin

Still not seen anything which suggests this guy can take us forward and beyond. 

 

Still worries me greatly that he's going to be allowed to shape the squad.

 

Has he managed to get some decent results of late? Yes so credit for that.

 

But the reality is its all too little too late. When it mattered he was found waning. 

 

What people havent factored in is that the results have come against teams that dont play with a low block. It remains to be seen if he can sort that problem out. 

 

The Sunderland performance was almost as worst as youll see and the Blackburn game was the opposite of that (with a huge helping hand from a very poor Blackburn) 

 

It seems the issue of pressing was brought up with him, we then start pressing. The issue of not being pro active with subs was brought up with him and then he starts to be pro active with subs. He shouldn't need to be told how to do his job. 

We can't afford to be a learning ground for a young 'head coach' it's just LJ all over again. Streaky and will just constantly change the plan until one works and then when it stops working will keep trying to find a new plan until he lucks upon one that does work. 

He has simply not shown me what Liam Manning football looks like.

Ultimately Manning has failed this season. We are better than where we are in the league. Without results clouding my judgement, it has largely been poor, dull and difficult to watch.

He has not managed to get the maximum out of this squad (with good availability) and certainly not managed to get them out performing their ability. 

We are obviously not going to sack him now and neither will we this season. But I think we should. We are looking at an October sacking in my opinion.

I fear that he will recruit players that are suited to his preferred possesion based style.

What do you do if you build an F1 car that has decent ability and potential but the driver can't extract that ability and potential? You don't rebuild the car to suit the driver do you? No you get rid of the driver and bring in someone more suited to the car and the teams philosophy. 

Like Frank Lampard ?

Two games isn't form, is it? Compared to 14 games where we took less than a point per game, this is awful. In the last 18, we were on 1.2 points per game because of the uptick in form, but that is still less than average.   Over the season, we're at 1.3 ppg. I'd like to see us picking up 1.5+ ppg. That gives us a good season plus a chance of the playoffs if we can edge towards 1.6/1.7; for reference, 2+ ppg is top-4 form. 

It was said with tongue firmly in cheek, I didn’t need a maths lesson 

Leeds have only taken 1 point from a possible six in the last 2 games............... Relegation form

Segregation being used for Wimborne v Frome on the 20th. No away fans in the clubhouse before or after the match. Seems OTT for a division 1 south game.

Probably worried that Frome might take their end like we used to take the Town End 

3 minutes ago, Mr Popodopolous said:

That might be the case. Under Tomassson they were prone to the odd thrashing this year but lots of goals at both ends at other times. They may have scored a couple with him last night as they were that sort of side. Eustace has definitely tried to tighten them up judging by the lack of thrashings although you wouldn't know it from last night.

I watched on the telly when they played at Norwich earlier in the season and they battered them 

50 minutes ago, Mr Popodopolous said:

Certainly not very impressive, so yeah I was hopeful of a win but they usually don't get thrashed under him is my point. Mix of them being rather poor and us pressing excellently, showing the intent when required etc IMO.

You're right, they're normally quite competitive, maybe Sammy's goals have been papering over the cracks ?

A yard outside the area when its frozen...

And it struck his head not his hand/arm, how can the referee get that so wrong ?
