Engvall’s Splinter

… and vulnerable

Pleased for him that he showed his worth and doing it against one of the best in the league too. Will feel both him and us with confidence that he can do it at this level.

Plenty of posts on here tonight @italian dave and deservedly so. Superb from minute one till the death.

Manning - got it spot on. Kudus to him and the coaching team.

Agree. Often forget it’s there.

I’d try chocolate rather than coming on here for a sense of happiness. Perhaps, just perhaps, people were enjoying the 3 points outside of this forum.

Why is not shelling out a fiver to support the forum relevant?

He has been one of our most reliable and consistent performers this year. As he’s unfashionable he won’t get mentioned, however, I’d have him in contention for our player of the season. Certainly young player (although Tommy will probably pick that up as he is the poster boy).

Fantastic 3 points Thank you lads!

I’m unsure. That’s a couple of times he’s done this and it’s weakened us / took us out of a rhythm.

Are we not bottom half and Forest not in the prem?

312 for the news in brief.

But but Leeds have 30m worth of talent on the bench … or that was the reason stated by many as to why we were taught a lesson. Can’t compete blah blah blah.

As much as Ian comes across as a right nause, I actually love how cringey some of his suggestions/responses are despite finding them infuriating. Makes for a good pod however has done nothing for my frown lines.

Perhaps if our form over the last 6 games was 15+ points out of 18 rather than 3, we would be talking about putting a few bob on. However, our next couple of games are Boro and Southampton. We’ll do well to pick up a couple of points here.

Thought it was a good POD to be fair, with some great points raised. For me that was Tom’s best appearance of the season. Totally agree that Manning is very rigid in his methods. I applaud LM’s confidence but I do think he’s underestimating this level of football. We are very one dimensional at the minute, and the same in-game changes are very naive. Again, tin hat on, but I agree with Tom re McCrorie - everyone is getting a little overexcited in my opinion. Yes he’s been physical, he’s demanding of his teammates and an aerial threat but technically he isn’t there (yet). Hopefully that’s more to do with him returning from a long lay off but the jury is out at the minute. Talk of throwing in youngsters, Joe Low style, are ridiculous as was the suggestion of Sykes, Atkinson and Naismith being throw straight back in without any U’21 action. I’m all for cameo roles for experience or to bring players up to speed fitness wise, but Ian is way off for me there. The previous medical regime had taken stick (unwarranted I might add) for chucking players in too soon. No doubt Ian was frantically googling Raekwon Nelson’s position at one point when picked up by Tom. Im not happy with Mark’s view that we may have to get worse to get better, why? Our recruitment team have procured players to fit a style as part of the overall playing strategy. It has been intimated recently that should a manager depart, nothing significantly changes - if in the summer it does then Brian Tinnion has appointed the wrong coach. Finally, we are hearing the season is over and we are starting AGAIN in the summer. Therefore, play a decent side against Forest and let’s get ourselves a game against United. That’ll give us something to look forward to over the bland garbage currently being served up. Did chuckle when Ian said “if you are going to take the piss, I won’t tell you anymore”. Grown bloke. If he could’ve blocked you all from the POD at that point he probably would have

I’m with Neil. I think we’ll do well to get much more than 5m for him, unless he really hits the goal trail between now and the end of the season. 8m tops, with a few add ons perhaps.

Whilst I haven’t listened to the POD I can actually understand this. I don’t believe Conway will fulfill his potential here. We currently are not playing to his strengths; both style and set up. As and when he departs, hopefully he selects the right club that will suit him, and it’ll see him go up a number of levels. Fingers crossed we get top dollar though.

I know. They compete despite the odds against them.

Luton beat 30m Joao Pedro’s Brighton in the week and have Cauley Woodrow on the bench.

With half a fit squad.

Good post

Without scrolling through all the posts, what concerns me is our recruitment/style will change during the summer under Manning and things then go tits (more tits than it already has). Manning gets the boot. We are again left with players on 3 year deals that the next manager feels doesn’t fit his system. Rinse, repeat. Can’t shift the feeling that JL and BT’s vanity / ego project will be detrimental to the club in the long run. Also can’t shift the feeling that I believe they are wan kerse.

Whilst relegation MAY be a long shot, we are just 6 points off Birmingham in 20th. Birmingham who won just 2 games in a 13 game spell - not far off Manning. That is a realistic placing for us if we don’t pick up. I don’t have the faith in the players under this manager and system that we will match our league position of last year. Whilst not knocking the signing, how do you know he is an improvement (at Championship level)? How many times have you seen him play out of interest?

I actually don’t think people are surprised by the result. It’s the manner of the defeat.
