    Your eyes are wide shut when it comes to the new manager though. 
    Your strict allegiance to Nige means you wouldn’t recognise a Manning plan if you walked down Plan Street, turned into Plan Lane, over Plan Bridge, along Plan canal, into the Plan shop, perused the Plans in the window and a Plan came up and smacked you in the face screaming “Hey, Look. I’m a PLAN”. 

    Ha...there's a plan....ha 🤣

  2. I'm actually a bit frustrated by this thread -  we are talking about split second decision making in real time - everyone is wise in hindsight. 

    The guy has been progressively growing in confidence, has provided consistent performances (albeit with the same distribution issues etc).

    In the past I have been extremely critical of MOL - he, for me, has turned a corner - this has resulted in some good sweeper keeper play, some excellent saves and a general feeling of confidence in him and the back four.

    Inevitably he will make mistakes - This one cost us two points in a season that we are neither going up or going down. He will learn from this (as will the defenders who switched off for the throw).

    He is supposed to be the last line of defence - in reality, at this level, he statistically has a less chance of saving the ball due to the competence of strikers in this league. 

    I understand that people will be frustrated and seeking someone to blame. Whilst MOL may have contributed to the goal last night, he was an element in a series of events that lead to our TEAM losing a 2-1 lead. 

    Not wishing to be inflammatory - I appreciate that people may see it (feel it) differently to me.

    My entry for most negative post on the MDT so far this season is that with this side we'll lose this 13-1 (and that will be an own goal), Twine's season is over, Bell will cross the ball 12 times in the match and every single one will end up in the stand, Max will also kick the ball into the stand around twenty three times, we will pass the ball back to Max from an attacking position on the edge of their penalty area when we could have got a shot away at least seven times and we will be handed a letter from the EFL at full time advising us we are on an FFFP charge.

    Worrying..............

    Oh, and despite all that happening be careful what you wish for.

    All in all a pretty good precis of the likely performance 🤣
