I'm really liking this formation away from home! 

Really? Hanging on and no target man

Who lives in the cottage?!

Delighted with a draw.  Fulham are a good team irrespective of current form

Ha ha. Now I know I've been whooshed by you for the last 2 hours. Well done bud, good wind-up

Give Pack all the time in the world and he is a very good passer.  Under pressure he is poor.  I am much more interested in the latter as we aim to become a top eight side.

Who's the best passer in the squad then? 

Would get to pack quicker if i listed worst upwards

Just now, Harry said:

You mean aside from him being the best passer of the football in the whole squad yeah? 

Hahahaha harry you write some utter tosh you really do.

Unlike @RedDave to talk a load of shit, Harry!

Are you watching ?  Happy with Pack today?

I know right. Coz his superb tackle didn't just change the momentum of this game, where he stopped a counter attack, we go up the other end, Flint should score immediately and then from the continued pressure we do score. 

But I'm sure you won't acknowledge Pack's important role in that goal. 

He can tackle for sure. Need a lot more at this level Harry

Fantastic from COD.  Korey Smith has improved us massively

Will people STILL say Pack is better than Korey Smith?!

Pack is so bad at football

Pack has gone from first choice to third choice which shows the depth has improved and the squad is progressing. I'm not sure what more you expect in a relatively short period of time.

I dont expect anything. If we are to progress that is where it needs to be

Sorry Dave but it's not unreasonable to think that referring to "squad" depth means you're mean the squad, not just a part of it. By definition.

Either way it's still a harsh assessment of our midfield options, which are greater than they have been for a long time.

Was talking Pack specific so thought reference to central midfield was clear.

Our ambition is greater so need squad depth to reflect that.  Taylor and Pack proving we could do with better options 

Just now, ChippenhamRed said:

An incredibly harsh assessment that doesn't acknowledge the squad improvement at all.

Compare Pack to the third-choice midfielder from two years ago, when he was one of the first names on the team sheet.

Poor squad depth in central midfield is quite obviously what I mean!! Pack as third choice is fine for bottom half championship team.

If Pack is now considered inadequate as a squad player, I would say that is testament to just how well the squad strength in depth has improved this season.

Disagree. Our third choice midfielder isnt good enough.  Shows poor squad depth

This shows importance of strength in depth.  Pack and Taylor not good enough for long periods in this team

Nailed on 3 points today.  Never felt more confident in an away three points.

We don't have a good enough midfield. We are so close to be being a good side. We just needed that creator. Why oh why did we not make it a priority. 

Apparently right back was a priority.  Goalkeeper was a priority.  Striker was a priority.  

Can we have a fourth priority?!

is there no online stream?! 

Who said Hegeler and Taylor would start?!

Please hang on. We havent been good today

Some one please give Lloyd Kelly some Coke or a similar upper please.  Jeez

I've just won the 'Most secretive person 2017' award.

I can't tell you how much it means to me.

I played cricket from the age of 8 till last year so big fan of it myself, but I'd still stand by saying each test match, odi, t20 match matters less/has less riding on it than an individual football match. Obviously when you get to series deciders they do but until then? Not so sure.

The 40th match of the season when you are 14th, miles off promotion and relegation, does it make it irrelevant?  I'd say not as I go to be entertained.  I know I'm in the minority but I'm not even that bothered about getting promoted!

End of the day for cricket there is no league that overly matters, yes there are rankings and bragging rights winning a series, but how much does winning/losing a series matter? It's generally 'oh well onto the next one', whereas Football a lot more rides on each game. 

Matters a lot to people who love the sport, the same as any sport.  I understand why people don't get the enjoyment of cricket. For me it's the best sport in the world
