Heart-Shaped Fox

Woeful second half. More points dropped against dross at home

Going to see the physio days before the run too mate? Good though that it looks more positive Unlucky on the race number though 😂 I'm not too far behind you on that I guess!

Yeah fair mate. But 400 miles is coming up to the end maybe but does depend on the shoes. Mine get very worn on the sole but the cushioning remains ok, appreciate in soles really help with that. What trainers have you bought? Want to get some new ones too 😂 just costly! Don't get on with gels at all! I hate the taste and the texture of them. Been taking sweets with me instead which seems to help me out. Usually Tangfastics but took regular cola bottles on Sunday as didn't want sugar all in my pocket 😂

Also have you tried in soles? I bought some more in hope for £40. Not sure I notice the difference when running but haven't had any shin pains after using them. Problem is though everything with running becomes expensive when it should be a cheap sport 😂

Id give it a go mate. Won't do any harm. Not had knee issues but saw a physio for what has turned out to be severe shin splints especially down one side. Went as recently as Wednesday before my run on Sunday and he really did put force etc on my leg (not pain), the whole treatment really did help me get over injury

Considered going to see a physio? Also ice/heat and a lot of baths could possibly help I guess, although I've never suffered a knee injury before

Erm, first ever probably around 1:50-1:55 on my own. Remember getting 1:45 in March as the first time I was delighted with. But running on your own isn't the same as an event, adds so much to your run

Great Eastern Run today. Smashed in a Half Marathon PB of 1:27:06 (event chip time) Absolutely buzzing about it tbh. Decided I was gonna man mark the 1:30 pacer but after about 6k I realised I was about 100m in front of them. Thought **** it I'm gonna make sure it stays that way and I never saw them again 😂 Genuinely thought going into this that 90 mins would be a bit tough and I'd be more like 1:34/35. But felt good the whole way though and never felt like i was actually pushing until the last two or three k. Actually got my second best ever 5k and then PBs in 10k, 15k, 10 mile, 20k and obvs half marathon. Honestly think I could have done a 1:25 time but hey ho 😂 ASICS Novablast 5, thanks for the recommendations again from here. Elite shoes.

Great Eastern Run for me on Sunday Pretty nervous about it now. No running yesterday, today or tomorrow to make sure I'm fresh. Have biked 20k and swam also today though. Weather says might be a bit misty/foggy which isn't ideal I guess. Will be my first ever half marathon event though and really hoping I can pull a good time out the bag.

Just think he's very average. Mid table Championship. Doesn't bomb on, no right foot, physically not amazing. Probably not got a better option than him though at the moment

Just done a 24km run with my brother building up for next week's Peterborough half marathon. At his pace though so nothing quick. Gonna taper the running down now and definitely won't run Thurs Fri or Sat before the event. Gonna be trying to hold on to the 90 mins Pacers hand all the way but we'll see 🤣

If the option to buy is there, at 5/6m as reported then that's a steal. I like the fact he's a big bugger too not just good. His physicality helped us a lot

Wish I wasn't going Can see a 0-0

We're so easy to play against. And dull af Too many shite players from last season still around stinking the place out. I could see us drawing a lot this season because this league is crap but our attitude of players is shite

I'm not seeing enough from him at all. The attacking potency is frankly embarrassing. Barely have any shots on target and this horseshoe football around the box is ****ing rubbish. Our strikers are shite but in this league we should be serving better up. Wrexham were crap and we've let them get a point

Anyone have good reviews on insoles? Bought some for £40, from Enetor. Not sure if they have made a difference yet but only tried one interval run in them. Got my 1k pb today as part of that in 3:17 which I'm pleased about. Just need to run that speed for 5k and I'll be happy 😂

What did please me is seeing all the players celebrate when the goal went in, least it shows that they do seem to care and Cifuentes has made that atmosphere.

Just on the GK situation...why have we signed that Vietes? Not even made the bench. Is he injured or have I missed something?

Shite. Do feel Marti is now starting to get away with it. I do want to give him time but he's doing odd things. Why can't he see Ayew can't be a striker, we have nothing going forward when he's there. He also shouldn't be taking free kicks and corners, they're wank. The way he's clearly set the full backs up is painful too. Ricardo will do an underlap now and then but Thomas absolutely nothing. It leaves Mavididi basically against two men all the time. What's wrong with full backs going past their opponent and drilling it into the box? The horseshoe football we're playing also is so frustrating. Pass round the edge of the box to the wing back to middle back to other wing repeat in a horseshoe formation. Some of that links to having no proper striker on the pitch...we just have no presence in the box We've had what I'd say is a 7/10 max start to the season points wise but it does feel like we have the shackles on mostly at times. Very worrying how we just don't seem to test the keepers at all. We're so timid up top. Beat Wrexham and then I'll probably be happy again though! 😂

Still planning on going but is pricey. Saw us win 1-0 there in 09 during League one, since then seen us 5 times there, get beat each time and not even score.

Freeman's common really has become mental to get away from. Think it's become worse since the road opened both ends at the bottom. Never been a smooth get away don't get me wrong but definitely become harder

Only just realised Hermansen was dropped on Saturday. Really poor move for him in hindsight

I can see Mavididi being dropped but...for BDR not Monga. I think Cifuentes is reluctant to start Monga still. Definitely Ayew needs to not be up front. He works hard but he's never ever in the box. So Carranza in. I can't see Ayew being dropped from the starting 11 though

Ridiculous that Blackburn game off yet Burnley have been at home, Utd are at home, Bolton been at home.... Ipswich are the jammiest team ever at this level. Losing and had ten men. Piss take

We're our own worst enemy I think. Said this the other day, we drop points or beat ourselves more than anything the opposition do. Last week definitely due to stupidness and poor defending, today shite finishing. This league is poorer than two years ago, we definitely have it in us to be right up there at the end. The next five odd games will show where we're really at.
