Were they all offside?

I mean, that is goal of the season right there.

Yeah but it'll be a ****ing brilliant red.

Should have scored really Carranza. Definitely looks like a player that's not had a lot of first team football.

I take it all back, Abdul. Stop trying to create chances, everyone else is shit anyway, just keep doing that pal.

What's our club record for consecutive draws

It's looking dicey, Marti, you should bring on Skipp for one of the attackers. It'll definitely help.

I don't care how many times he messes up if he actually has output. Ayew doesn't make as many mistakes because he doesn't try anything. He just slows the game down holding on to the ball until he's fouled and we then do nothing with the free kick. To be clear, I agree, I think Daka's confidence is shot and we need a much better striker. He isn't really good enough. But he's much better up front than Ayew.

He literally just got an assist in the last game with a superb one-two layoff.

The team has better shape and structure when Daka starts up front. Ayew might have better touch but Daka has a better football brain and fits the role better. Neither are going to score a lot are they but at least Daka makes the rest of the attack better.

He could do with being reminded that what made him one of the best players in the Championship last time was the number of chances he created.

Really don't think this is quite the good news everyone thinks it is. Looks a lot to me like it's a tightening of Rudkin's grip.

Even accounting for the claim of tongue in cheek and the fact it's deliberate bait, this is still a stupid write up. This sort of humour needs to be at least grounded in some reality. It doesn't really read like a smart, satirical poke at us, it reads like thinly veiled bitterness and a chip on the shoulder (which I feel fairly qualified in saying is typically South West Welsh.) You can see why their own fans equally have given him stick, the absolute irony is he pokes at our "self awareness" and lacks enough to accept he's making his own look daft. There is definitely an extent to which our collapse is the result of some hubris, for sure. From the boardroom. But the idea that the fanbase is delusional and entitled for being annoyed at the decline is daft and completely misses the point, really. We didn't just jump from relegation fodder to title winners to relegation fodder again in some freak bounce that everyone should ignore as a statistical anomaly. We built ourself in to a solid fixture of the top half of the league, qualified repeatedly for European competition, finished fifth twice in a row, won two more pieces of silverware - including the country's premiere domestic cup competition - then mismanaged ourselves so badly we got subsequently relegated with the highest ever wage bill and squad value to go down. Our fanbase isn't supposed to be angry about this? We're supposed to have gotten over it and stopped living in the ancient past of, *checks notes*... four years ago? OK butt.

Absolute legend. Deserves her peace at well in to her nineties but an absolute hero. The world is worse without her in it. At least Jim Cronin will have some company wherever they've gone.

Love this time of year when Foxestalk wildly over reacts to a fairly normal footballing business practice.

We absolutely shouldn't be in a position where Daka is our best 9 but he is. I'm not getting drawn in to debate #75858473 about whether he's good enough but he's objectively better up front than Ayew and first impressions of Carranza look a bit suspect. We look a better shape and the team is more balanced when Daka plays. He's also capable of moments like the assist last night, his link up play and his selflessness is far better than Ayew.

I told the guys at half time one goal wouldn't be enough, so I took off an attacking midfielder and replaced him with Oliver Skipp for... reasons?

Man has maybe the worst football intelligence I've ever seen. Never ****ing passes to his team mates, repeatedly runs with the ball when he should just play it forward. Slows down literally everything just to win set pieces he'll take himself but his delivery is awful and we can't score from them anyway. Great example of why the "eye test" of most of our fans is a load of rubbish. He runs around a lot and he's got an OK touch so he's getting a free pass from a significant amount of our supporters. One of the worst players we've had at the club in the post-Pearson era.

OH **** OFF AYEW

Genuinely think Josh Low took better set pieces than Ayew.

This. Didn't expect BDCR to stay on but bringing on Skipp was a very poor move.

Mavididi's confidence has gone the way of Daka's. Just completely gone. Can't really ever imagine either scoring again. Feel they both need some absolute shit house bit of luck. Something out of the Okazaki books.

They'll win this

Been coming. Edwards isn't wrong. Daft change.
