Up next: Southampton Away

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Absolutely maddening that that little toerag has knackered Ndidi so badly we're now keeping everything crossed Nampalys Mendy starts.

A glimpse of what we'll be watching later.

 

 

 

..just looking at that, the talk would have been any lay backs should come on the the keepers strongest foot!!!

 That ball came to Ward's left foot, he has to control it and make sure it is not under his feet. He was closed down quickly but that ball should have come to Ward's right foot so he can clear first time.

  We see enough outfield players who struggle to control the ball with their wrong foot.

How professional footballers can not be highly proficient with both feet I just don't know. What do they do all day long? Historically which was Charlton's strong foot or Finney's ?There are no excuses at all for one footedness or for that matter rubbish heading technique which is even more common.

Its played along the ground at a pace that a 10 year old could deal with and he actually had quite a lot of time to deal with it and even readjust his feet. It only became an issue because Ward completely mis-controlled it with the ball bobbling into the air. If Ndidi had hit it too hard or sent a bobbling ball across i would agree that Ward would have a case. This, unfortunately, is just a case of Ward being a bit crap. Love the commentary about Ward being no Kasper!

Haven't you heard his new manager bollocks. Apparently we're supposed to pretend he's been sacked and he is the new manager. New. Manager bounce and clean slate.  Move on. 😭

I know, right?

That Maradona might have been a half decent player if he hadn't been completely and utterly one-footed.

[Supergray22]

That was clearly hand ball by mepham. How top of the arm doesn’t count any more I can’t fathom. He used his arm to steer it away. 

[Lambert09]

anyone else feel like this is the turning point in the season one way or another? 

 

I feel the same as i did before that sheffield wednesday game in the championship.. a real must win moment. 

 

I know there’s still so much football to come but i really feel we will pull away if we can get a win here.

...that is because we work on the same thing over and over again, we never attempt to correct flaws when we see it!!!

  I recall a friend of mine who lived just down the road and was trained by his dad. Two footed and well  balanced, a terrific player. Not many players get that early quality schooling. Managers work on what they have, the focus is on what they can do, not where their skillset fall down.

  They should be devising training where those shortfalls are addressed. All weak feet have a yellow sock and there better feet are in red socks, no red socks to come in contact with the ball. Just take a look at KDH, sometimes the player needs to take it on himself to work on his short comings.

[Gazza M]

Brendan has had a knack this season of just about doing enough to stay out of the relegation zone. I have a feeling good Leicester will turn up today and we will win. 

[Fazzer 7]

Lose this and we're in the shite big time. I'm telling ye.

[blueharmie]

Brendan out.

 

Getting in early

[Guest nathan.]

If Bournemouth and Leeds pick up points this becomes a huge game. 

[HybridFox]

Really need the win with the way results are going (if that wasn't obvious already)

[Weller Wing]

We lack bottle when the chips are down.

There's more fight in many of the teams around us. 

We need Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal to do the business in the next 45 minutes and for us to get something from our game.

Worried about this one and not looking forward to it at all.

 

I think we'll lose.

 

1-0, Ward-Prowse free kick.

That's the first 5 minutes covered, after they get one we collapse and they win 3 or 4 nil. 

 

I think we will get a draw.

My point being, losing to a championship side and then to the league’s bottom club is something no manager should survive.

[coolhandfox]

People seem to forget there is even more pressure on them then us.

 

Massive game for both clubs.

I can't see it, it'll be a win one way or the other for me. If we go ahead,  and they have to push it , then I think we batter them. If they go ahead, we're in big trouble 

[Steve Earle]

oh no...

[Guest kristianity77]

No Kristiansen at all. He injured? 

[Jabfox]

No kristiansen in the squad is a big miss 

[Hamilton Fox]

Kristensen must be injured as not even on bench

[FrankieADZ]

VK must be injured/unwell
