Mr Popodopolous Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Firstly I hope the person is okay. Secondly I seem to recall a rather unsettling medical incident a fit or similar v Swansea late last October. Played on despite widespread calls not to. Will depend on the circs I guess ie the severity of the medical condition etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 It is funny to see Alex Neil bitching about refs, given Saturday. Supposedly they as per him should have had 6 this season..you'd have to have a heart of stone not to laugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the fact that despite having only the 13th best support and no parachute payments, there are comments on their forum that play offs are the bare minimum expectation this season for Neil to keep his job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) These comments are priceless coming from who they're coming from.. Alex Neil moaning about timewasting and soft contact anyone?? "I think certainly if you look at the foul that they get for their goal and you look at the foul [on Lowe] in the box, you're going to compare both in terms of contact. "I think if you look at the two directives at the start of the season, one was based around soft contact for fouls and not buying into soft contact, which I thought for the first foul was really soft, and the other was was timewasting. "I didn't think any of the directives this evening were carried out well enough in terms of the game at all."

fgrsimon Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 Alex Neil - One of the worst managerial decisions ever to leave Sunderland for Stoke. There is no universe where Stoke are a bigger club than Sunderland, least of all the last couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely unbelievable that the referee and assistant referee actually tried to continue the game as the person was receiving life saving CPR on the touchline After the recent Scunthorpe Vs Buxton match was ordered to be completely replayed despite being abandoned in the 85th minute, it's anyone's guess what the outcome would be here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to see them not in the top 3 or 4 at the end of the season. They've had the best ever start by a promoted team in the history of the Championship. Definitely a well drilled team. Watching them, you can see the pre meditated movement by every player. They remind me a bit of how Leeds played on the offensive under Bielsa in the Championship. Especially down the flanks. Good Coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how long it’s gonna take opponents to realise that they don’t cross for the 6 yard box, but that pretty much every cross is a “pull-back”…to players hanging around the edge of the box. They don’t try to hit that “corridor of uncertainty” (Boycott) between defender and keeper, but have everyone rush towards it whikst Chaplin etc hang around the edge.

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 Leeds under Bielsa were superior statistically at least. In terms of dominance and control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch the pitch hugely. Use a lot of overlapping down the wings. Delay runs towards box and cut back. The CF they use as a decoy. He runs towards the 6 yard box. Defenders follow him and then they cut back to players delaying run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) What do we think to this post on the Leyton Orient issue albeit written a few hours after the game and presumably the status of the patient was unknown at this point. Appears to be a security Professional. Edited October 7, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
