Vacamion

TBQH I would take a boring nil - nil, 40 pages of us all moaning about a shit game and a point, if it means we finally keep a clean sheet. Or maybe Wrexham just have to wait for us to cock it up.

Is Marti playing our inexperienced centre back Ben Nelson as a wingback? It's a bold strategy.

DEFENSIVE MAYHEM

Mostly outdated garbage, then. This is what happens when you assign writing your stuff to the large language model whose owners pretend it is "inteligent" whilst they rip off the market, deplete the planet and feed off mass plagiarism.

Luke dropped? Shocker.

For someone who was doing 6 rolls then thumping the turf repeatedly in agony (and I'm not denying it was a bad tackle) that lad just motored forwards pretty well less than 4 minutes later.

That's DEFFO a pen. WTF? [Marinakis counting notes out in the background]

Good stattage:

It's a right sickener. We should have been two or three up, we bullied them first half. Then we have the usual second half "flying start" and gifted them two brain fart goals. I didn't want to join in the pile-on against Luke Thomas at the start of the match thread, but he's had an absolute dogbob second half and throwing himself to the floor for their winner is embarrassing. A different ref might have given Cov a couple of penalties against Okoli, too.

Looked like a peno in real time. Looked like bugger all on the replay.

That is brilliant from Skipp again.

We have our answer. FFS.

This is the most counterackalicious game for a while. I know he's got hexagonal shooting boots, but Daka has to play a role at some point.

We should be out of sight. Hope we don't live to regret not scoring again. Skipp was here, there and everyfookinwhere that half. Bite and snarl about us. Interesting so see if we can play two good 45 mins for a change.

That is actually a worldie of a save by the Cov keeper off a scuffed shot.

Well this thread is a cavalcade of optimism and hope, ain't it? COYB

Baggies knifing their fans in the heart in injury time, again.

Part of me wouldn't be gutted if they abolished the January window. Make do with your squad for the whole season, buy well in the close season, if you suffer injuries and don't have a back up during the season, tough nuggets. It would stop Big Clubs who bought badly and are struggling on the pitch throwing their gold at competitors that are successful on the pitch but can't compete financially.

Fofana absolutely sent for a walk the wrong way, there. £75 million.

What a shit goal

He saw fit to resign. He's wormed his way back in to positions of power after previous resignations. This interview appeared to be a further attempt to re-enter the arena of high politics. I don't think he came across well enough to do so.

"Lord" (Ewwww) Mandelson came across awfully in that BBC report of his interview. There's no way back, surely?

Poor Daz Fletcher can see his incipient managerial career fading to dust...

I'm already imagining Nuno's dead eyed stare as the boos rain down on him, if QPR edge this.

Well done Mansfield
