Did they travel? 

Would point to a late injury, would explain shortage on the bench 

Or a sickness bug if not you do have to wonder why Twine was on the bunch last week !

Twine on the team bus. 95th minute free kick then.

felt Cornick was harsh to be dropped for Tuesday but came on and made a good impact.

I thought so as well but Liam said he had a sickness bug so didn’t start him.

Regarding Haydon I think he is an excellent technician & looked good in pre-season. Didn’t take any messing with the more physical players at Fratton Park.

Even with dead ball kicks he was a step up for us until TGH arrived. Subject to a good game tomorrow I really hope he doesn’t get dropped immediately & Cam was my favourite player last season !

As for attitude I would MUCH rather have a player who is not happy at being a sub & did extra training than someone who just took the money. I really like the guy & hope he continues todevelops well.

By all means send me a PM

Played with conway for Scotland u21 when conway scored v Norway. Trying to find the goal to see if he had the assist but no joy

Conway goal was a pen.

Personally, I hate it. 
It can take me an hour and a half to get home for a normal game, either 2 Buses or walk to the centre and Bus it. 
Saturdays I don't mind too much. Might meet mates in town for a beer or grab some food with the Mrs, but on a Friday/Tuesday I would be getting home 11:30 or later . That means I tend to drive on night games , might change that for Leeds though.

Similarly for me though hate would probably be a bit strong personally. Sunday I feel is the worst option so the it’s the lesser of 2 evils. I assume like me you do not reside in Bristol as Friday would then be great but a bit of trek for evening games.

Moyes watching wondering why he thought Scotty was only good enough for his under 21s 

Now enjoying his assist  

Good goals too, bad luck Swansea  

I will catch up with all comments on this later. But after today’s game (debacle) I’ve just had a huge family debate where I said EXACTLY the same but was outnumbered… being a sensitive person I still think like you it’s OTT. Whilst it will affect those directly involved the vast majority won’t have a clue what’s happening. Strange world we now live in

Fixed it myself.

If you go on your Personal Details there is a section for Relationships. If your daughter is down as “Friends and Family” then you can’t get access to buy her tickets. I had to delete my kids relationships, then readd them as “Customer to Customer” - that then meant their seats were available to purchase.

See above

Thanks. I did mine but as others no options for others. I then just added my daughter as you say as customer without deleting & lo and behold it appeared.

Another Q for all can you just scan the barcode from smartphone  (NOT wallet) rather than print the ticket ?

It was a strange view for me, not normally watching from behind the goal, or so far away so missed a lot of the nuances .

I thought Knight was very quiet , specially first half . He did seem deeper , or less inclined to get forward all game. It did seem like TC had more room 2nd half and we did look a little more compact. Definitely looked more of a midfield unit. If only we could reduce those misplaced, under hit and scruffy passes and Tommy could just learn to hold the ball up a little better , I think we'd be on to something. 

I really need to see the game back to gauge it properly . One word on Joe Williams, how many are saying get rid now ? That was a leaders performance right there.

% 

I was saying in the pub before the game how we need to condense the midfield rather than leaving Bell & Mehmeti wide all the time. And as you say JK too advanced so he can be effective from deep & yet he still got into advanced positions late in the game, what an engine. 
I think Anis sometimes came central when there was a potential overlap but we all know his decision making can be erratic.

Great game & terrific atmosphere.

Interesting reply from Roy Hodgson and also Keith Hackett.
 

Not a red card for me but as Roy stated it’s the way the modern game is unfortunately. Don’t get me started on hand balls I have given up trying to fathom them out nowadays

Okay first I'd heard of this.

It's different! Nice touch by Watford, didn't we do similar v West Brom Boxing Day 2022.

 

I assumed that was a coincidence ? as they also walk out to “Liquidator”

The whole format now IMHO is a pile of. Maybe I am in the minority but I MUCH preferred the previous format with the pundits insights from the likes of Aaron McLean & Dean Ashton. The current format is a huge backwards step  

Great result & their next 4 fixtures include 3 teams in a similar league position so an excellent opportunity to stay at the top level when it looked like they were odds on to go straight back down.

Just got my ticket thank you very much@The Enormous Turnip, first game of the season, being where I am I’m a bit exiled, still on the look at for fellow reds from close to here(Basingstoke) who go up regularly to get along with, beers n such

I’m not too far away in Wiltshire. I’m going tomorrow not sure where we are stopping in Soton but maybe a pub or I believe some others going to Giddy Bridge (Spoons) so maybe there. How would you travel to home games train or car ? I’m happy to chat via DM.

Yes, but it was a soft headbutt. 

 

Yep. Definitely a red card for poor execution

It’s a brilliantly dubbed (spoof) video of Jon Lansdown on the sacking of NP

Ive tried to find it in amongst the pages and pages of threads but unsuccessful and I cant Do it justice describing it to you - sorry 

 

Absolutely hilarious 

 

I have it on my phone but I can’t find a way to post it here as only jpegs or similar seem to be allowed !

Good spot Fevs. That’s a pain in the knackers with Roberts injured. Wonder who will fill in.

Naismith came on at LCB yesterday so I’m guessing he will come in one way or another. 

As has already been mentioned I think Hayden Hackney was excellent & will soon be on the same trajectory as AS IMHO; a very mature performance.
