Loved the fact they were both left on - talk about confidence - them and in them.

If we can get pring and tanner back as well.  What we really need is a lump up front. Even Milan Duric would be an improvement on Martin. 

Well apart from rising high to flick the long throw on for the goal, like say a ‘big lump’ might do

It’s the Sky way; talk up the better / bigger side.*

*unless it’s FLDC / WRDC

I think Robins TV can show it to all and sundry as it is outside of the Saturday 3-5pm rule.

Didn't Robins TV do this earlier in the season for a Cardiff game as the original Saturday 3pm had been moved?

Defo watched it online lunchtime Saturday. Legally I should add!

No, it’s not.  As it was originally a Saturday 3pm game it won’t be.

Mind you didn’t we have a lot of games moved to Sunday under LJ, which were red button and previously A Saturday game? 

Out of interest does Anybody know if the Sheffield U game on Sunday is on the sky red button?

Thanks for buying me a Stars and Stripes so I can enter the Watford competition!

Tone deaf?

Sky are in the entertainment business, you’ll probably be ok!

A Northerner pointed out to me that Gateshead, Accrington, Southport, Barrow and then Workington failed to win re-election to the League. Four of the five new teams were from the South, P'boro' Cambridge, Hereford& Wimbledon. 

He was convinced  of a conspiracy theory and argued that if a Northern team drops out, they should be replaced by a Northern team.

And their point is?
 

In slight seriousness, there is a big imbalance of Lancs / York’s teams compared to Devon for example. The latter have a big job convincing players to up sticks completely rather than move to a nearby narthern town. Used to be a problem for teams as far ‘north’ as City.

Well, obviously the electrician needed rewarding for his helpful intervention.

Cunning Marine tactics?

And Marine eventually won on penalties - they found a spark(y) to win the game. Ahem.

The Pearson project just seems too far gone now. Physios to coaches, we are pot committed.

The worrying thing for me was the holden team just needed organisation and discipline. 

We seem over reliant on younger players who through no fault of their own, lack the mental toughness, the resilience and guile to see out 90 minutes of championship men's football.

We are toothless up front, too soft in midfield, disorganised in defence.

To me that was obvious from the start, maybe Pearson knew that too, as he seems genuinely agitated and almost finding this job funny. 

I'm tired of the same 'im cross  smile, i have my opinions on this squad, loooooook, adjusts glasses, empty threats and promises' for every abject performance.

Maybe the fault lies at SLs door, but its making the ashton and lj days look like heaven right now.

 

Your second sentence suggests there’s another reason for the general lethargy in the team. Concerning…

And Weimann only ever scores doubles. Just saying….,

The wheels seem to be coming off for Brentford after a promising start to the season.

There just following our model!

If he gets sent off after you’ve made him think he’s Chopper Harris, we’ll know who to blame

Could Williams be that guy?

I said to someone the other day that Pring had really impressed me this season, he had one bad game when he was moved back to left back (can’t rem who against) and hasn’t really featured since. One of the few players that can actually take a player on and put in a good cross, plus works really hard down left hand side and offers good protection to left back. 

I think having Pring infront on JD would really helps JD game as he’s obviously a talent but like most his form has been off for couple seasons. 

Alternatively the other way round: Pring is a better defender, could still get forward and put crosses in, while Dasilva (who is technically better) can get more involved in improving our passing in midfield?

Good news regarding the next home game at Ashton Gate. Last home game at AG with fans was against Everton in FA Cup in 2020, on a Monday night which just had over 1000 fans. Last home game before that was against Brighton in 2019, which was on a Saturday and had about 3000 fans, if I recall...

Hoping this game can get as many fans, if not more!

Appreciate logistically it couldn’t / wouldn’t happen but the men are playing Blackburn at home 6 days later - what if a double header could’ve taken place…? I wouldn’t normally suggest adding a women’s game to a men’s one as you would want to see those games stand on their own right, but just as a one off think of the men’s crowd’s chance to see a women’s game without needing to make any extra effort, showcasing that and leading to potential bigger audiences in the future etc. Everybody wins? Just a thought anyway.

That’s literally not how football works. 

Made me think of this:

It’s not too late to get the best out of Wells but it’s completely dependent on us becoming a high possession team, a la QPR , e.g. First half aside yesterday there is little evidence we’re anywhere near being that.

I’d play him down the middle with Wells.

Absolutely. We are crying out for somebody to stretch defences with pace.

Our opaassing first half was way better than Brums! 

62% possession. So we can do it when we try!

Oh not again - Those poor objectified heterosexual men…..Just like the women’s team in a no comparison at all type way.

Pearson takes at least and probably more of the blame in terms of who is at fault for their testy relationship. He is downright rude a lot of the time.
