  1. Start a poll. Might agree for a defender but not if you want fast front foot football from the off.
  2. Surely start with your best rather than come on having to chase the game at 0-2 down and push harder?
  3. Ian, Mark, and DaveP discuss this afternoon's match action. Was half tempted to write "no idea" but would that have been harsh? We’re not very good and neither, it would seem. are any of the teams below us in the table! Birmingham, Sheff Wed., Plymouth and Stoke all lost while the other 3 dog eat dog games produced three 0-0 draws. There will, it must seem now, little chance of a flurry of decent performances between now and the end of the season and if we maintain our current levels a final placing in the range 17th-19th looks likely. Will we achieve a best in 4 seasons no of wins with the 3 needed to achieve that, probably not and with it the chance of equalling last season’s points tally. Its not good and I think it more than likely that a fair number of season ticketholders won’t be renewing between now & August unless something earth shattering happens behind the scenes.
  4. As the host of the pod I'd just like to interject by making reference to the phrase "playing like that" in the context of 16 wins by that scoreline. We would NOT win 16 games, home or away, "playing like that". My interpretation of what Ian said, rightly or wrongly, was winning 16 scrappy games 1-0 isn't pretty to watch but might be effective. What made it worse on Saturday is that the Swans were passive themselves and far from the game being played with the passion of a local derby it was akin to a poor pre-season friendly. Would fans have been happy if we battered them, hitting the post/bar, drawing several good saves from the keeper as they sat in only to lose 0-1 to a breakaway goal. That would have drawn the phrase from many "we'll win more than we lose playing like that". In 6 months time no-one will remember the detail of Sunday's game nor how we were battered by Coventry in October but stole [?] a 1-0 win. What I do remember is 6 years ago being 3-0 up at half time against Sunderland but drawing 3-3, a further nail in that coffin of collapse in the 2nd half of 2017/18
  5. That was an awful performance yesterday but I wonder how far down the spectrum compared with the undeserved 1-0 win over Coventry back in the Autumn. We'll remember the good games like Southampton this season and WBA a few years back when we were 3-0 up in half an hour [won 3-2] but the scrappy 1-0s don't stay long in the memory.
  6. Yes, Ian posed the question but I don't think it was made with a "Pearson bashing" intent. I took it that it was against a background of not achieving a double digit number of home wins for several seasons and would we accept seeing boring but winning football that produced a play off securing position? I cited the example of the Danny Wilson era [year on year improvement each season he was here] when in 02/03 Wigan secured the League 1 title with a dour, defensive style and many narrow 1-0 victories. Wilson had always played an expansive style and I seem to recall reading that he changed approach to be more defensive in 03/04 which saw us reach, but fail, in the play off final.
  7. Join us live on You Tube & X @ 6.00 PM as we discuss a game that, until Rob Dickie's well taken winner, was memorable for the most poorly executed corner routine I've seen in 50 years and a delinquent sprinkler which delayed the start of the 2nd half. City DID improve in the 2nd half and deserved the points but with young coaching aficionados Luke Williams & Liam Manning in the technical areas it was not pretty to watch. Swansea seemed to stick with their processes and contain their emotions even after going behind by showing no desire to chase for an equalizer. The published crowd was just short of 21k but I reckon the in person count was barely 16k - this does not auger well for the upcoming season ticket renewal period
  8. As I have said to others, you are welcome to contribute and in your case have the opportunity, as you put it, to "really get in Ian's face" We are not in the pay of BCFC and if you listened you would have seen Ian as being in the minority in his defence of LM; even @Davefevs was suggesting a continuation of the results sequence might mean it is time to call time on LM.
  9. Join us live @ 9.00 Wednesday as we review the match action. If only Nahki's effort had gone in rather than hit the post Mehmeti - decent goal and deserved another but for a fine save MOL saves penalty but Pring skinned by former player Wes Burns; should he have even started? Does this ease the pressure on LM? Plenty for DaveP, Mark, Ian, Tom & DaveFevs to talk about.
  10. Amidst our detractors it is morale boosting to read the more positive posts like this one from @RedRock. Our Ipswich review will be LIVE & recorded at 9.00 AM Wednesday and will feature, amongst others @Davefevs & @TomSutton .
  11. Ah, yes - IIRC you're the guy on the text feed who said I'd lost the plot and should let Ian Gay host the podcast. Can't please everyone!
