Now this is worth a thread on its own. What, perchance might NTTDS' favourite band be? 'Grand Funk Railroad' is probably the right age bracket but they had few hits this side of the pond. Perchance early 80s guitar band 'Daniel Takes A Train'? If so NTTDS' they've reformed and you're in luck. One founding member is a neighbour of mine so I'm sure you'll be good for a backstage pass..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play hoof ball from our keeper,the ball is then half way up the pitch. Its then a fifty fifty chance of the ball going towards the oppositions goal Hoof ball every time over entertainment any day. See all you hoardes at Fulham on Saturday How is it a 50/50 chance? If it doesn't make it to one of our players then it's coming straight back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBW Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 If we're going to hoof it up the pitch we should do it like they do in rugby and hoof it our for a throw by their corner flag, then just mark every player up in the corner to win possession from the throw. Why not eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Kalas to launch his throws high then get two of our lads to “lift” Martin up line out style and head it in from 10ft up in the air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bredwood Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Surely if you want to watch hoofball then all you have do is go to the other side of town and watch a Rovers match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon79 Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 12 hours ago, Monkeh said: No team should have a set way of playing, It needs to be fluid in order to suit the conditions and situation, There are time when lumping is needed and there are times when calm passing and possession retention is needed Although I agree in a way with your general tone, in other words, play smart, a few things. When are the conditions bad nowadays on a Championship pitch? They are like bowling greens. The weather, always best to keep it on the deck when it’s windy & then it’s zippy (is that a word?) in the rain. Also, does that mean we play without one of the latest buzz words, ‘ identity ‘? Really, we just need to be really good at what we do! COYR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skin Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 @Never to the dark side You're entitled to your opinion, but mine is the opposite. I would rather watch entertaining football than win at any cost. Hopefully, it would be winning entertaining football played by youngsters from our academy, but I would probably stop going if say Pulis came back and implemented style of play. My concern, until recent games, has been the style of football we have been playing. Now we have young commited players that are playing with bravery and expressing themselves. Results will come I'm sure. That'll do me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have indeed, although Martin is a great alternative option to bring on from the bench, like Wilbraham was used in the Championship for us.

Never to the dark side Posted January 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Thanks for all the replys, and as reward for your thoughts if any of the replyers are heading to Fulham I'll buy your first pint at the fox and hounds pub which is on the southern side of the river,next to Pultney train stration and the pints are cheaper there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
