I honestly couldn't think of anyone else

Incorrect Phants. The 21s are 9th in their table and have as much chance of winning the league as Rovers do of theirs. The U18s lack of development at higher levels has been cached as trying to win their league which is just batshit crazy

I'd really hope that isn't anyone's priority right now considering they're currently 9th in a 10 team league.

Leicester manager cringing me out shoving Choudbury’s hand in the air. That whole club does actually.

The song choices after the game, the clappers. Embarrassing.

And the most soulless stadium I have been to, apart from Reading.

Looks like 3421 to me. Tanner and Roberts either side of Dickie.

Again, penny for his thoughts today. There is an argument which has been gone through over not playing him last week but the fact remains that instead of playing someone who had been on the bench for 30 games when a vacancy arose in his position, the head coach decided to move several players around and make us far less effective. That had to make him feel like crap.

Fast forward to today and he’s not involved full stop. The only way I can rationalise it is if he’s knocked on LMs door and said he’d rather play in the U21s than warm the bench and not get on. If that’s not the case then - at face value - it looks a horrible piece of man management of a young player.

And don’t get me started on Tinnion recalling Araoye as opposed to him finishing an excellent loan spell just to play in an irrelevant U21s game!

Thank you for clarifying, I just realised I was referring to the U18s

Reading is the worst for me. Not just the ground, but the location of it.

Watching Norwich TV, interesting to see our side walking in past the Norwich dressing room with Sweet child of mine blasting out

Nothing beats Stadium MK on that front.

About as soulless as they come

WBA losing at Leicester means Norwich can go above the Baggies. Tough game, but one that might suit us more than last week ( straw clutching going on here mind). Looking like 5-3-1-1 / 4-4-1-1  or something like that .
Not overly confident , but be nice to see us bugger up their promotion push .

There have now been 18 league games this season where we have failed to name a full subs bench.

We also have been bloody lucky that the only goalkeeper we have with experience has stayed fit to play every minute of football.

That isn’t some mini injury crisis but a clear indication that the squad depth is far too small.

We knew last summer that both Atkinson & Benarous were long term injured & it’s almost certain Andy King who has been on the bench for every game since New Year’s Day (& 28 times in total) isn’t going to be around to make it less pitiful than it appears.

Stokes & Palmer-Houlden will presumably be part of how we mitigate this.

Interesting listening to McCrories interview how he says the position this season isn't good enough and with the squad we have we should be play offs and pushing for automatic 

[Mr Popodopolous]

Nice to see Dickie is back. I assume we are being cautious, sensible in respect of Vyner?

Close any pop ups, you might need to refresh it a couple of times, and then it should work fine. Norwich coms but working fine other than that

I was going to watch on RTV until I realised it's more expensive than a 3 litre box of wine at our local supermarket.  Cheers all !!!

Norwich hit the post after Sykes loses the ball

[Lanterne Rouge]

Saints 1 up at Cardiff

[old_eastender]

What a poor finish from Sykes, should be scoring and dings it well wide.

[IAmNick]

Jesus Sykes, that was really poor

[ExiledAjax]

What the ******* hell was that?

[Malago]

Ffs Mark Sykes

[Frenchay Red]

What a miss

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

What a miss by Sykes, should have scored.

[Andy082005]

Mark Sykes - I’d be dragging him off after that 

That was pathetic 

[phantom]

Poor miss by Sykes 

[Supersonic Robin]

Poor effort from Sykes.

Think he made an almost identical error from a similar chance vs Blackburn too.
