Fear Of The Fox

Should we have again the same discussions as 2 seasons ago? If we're good enough we'll just cruise the league. I'm not gonna get bothered praying for other teams to drop points.

Coady and Ward masterclass as expected. It just takes 4mins for both of them to ruin everything.

I'm surprised they didn't show a stats overlay like this: Danny Ward, 1st goal conceded in Championship this season.

Never in doubt. Ward was lucky so far almost every single shot went into the middle of his goal.

It's not his fault that 90% of CBs in the Championship are brain dead. The build up of Southampton when attacking is good and quite direct going forward.

Nope. He'll achieve the promotion this season and go to Spurs, Arsenal or Man Utd. Or even Everton/Newcastle.

Ward must have hired the most talented agent in the universe. His agent has convinced everyone that Ward is a goalkeeper and clubs are paying millions in his client's bank accounts. Bonkers.

Absolute cinema. Hollywood.

Dorcel, with French commentary.

7-0 Southampton. Ward 2 OG. Coady 2 pens conceded.

One of the issues is that we're still a team which can be bullied by the opposition when it comes down to physicality. Birmingham were atrocious yesterday imo. No tactical plan at all, their only plan was to make this a scrappy affair. I'll risk it and say they'll be in the relegation battle zone.

Ipswich deflected shot goal incoming.

Sky with a groundbreaking stats overlay: Stansfield, 1st goal in Championship this season.

I'm leaving it on but I'm launching the new Madden now. I'm sure I'm gonna have more fun playing Madden than wasting my time watching this dross.

Tbf I've seen tanks like the Neubaufahrzeug turning quicker than Birmingham's No4 CB.

I think you should audition for commentating in a football videogame.

What football?

Seriously, is it so difficult for them to hire proper decent refs? This one is atrocious. The way he moves, the way he whistles. Wtf is wrong with him?

Good to see some things never change. Like Gray doing 360s around himself for 2 minutes and passing back afterwards.

The city or the team?

OK, whatever. Let's discuss it again tomorrow afternoon after they thrash Wrexham.

Spotted what exactly? The fact that all Still's teams in France were playing fascinating attacking football with fresh tactical ideas? Also, do we have a striker like Downs who will score 20+ goals this season?

Southampton will break all records in goals scored because of the manager they appointed. So from the beginning there's no comparison. We just hope to finish 2nd behind Southampton. Will Still has more tactical knowledge than the other 23 managers in the league combined.

Sheff Wed is a private company owned by Chansiri. This is why a lot of us for many years are calling for ownership changes like the ones in Germany.

The alternative is to rebuild now the scouting team with knowledgeable people and hire a DoF with vision to build a talented young team utilising also the academy. We simply can't go up and leave Rudkin and Co in charge. If the current team is strong for the Championship it will be reflected in the first 10 games of the season.
