Enjoyed a game for the first time in months. Decent away end, some fight and spirit. Amazing what happens when they actually try! Where has that been for the last 4/5 months!

Pleased for those that made the long trip, and had a good day out.

 

And if we didn't have such a pathetic Club that refuses to sell away tickets to non-ST holders/members ... we'd have had another 500 there.

That's an interesting take on spin the bottle game once they've finished it.  Goodluck mate! Lol

 

Any man on here would take Dua Lipa even if she was sloppy 33rd's lol. Double bag it!

 

Oh ya, well done for not being shit for once. We are down but getting some goals a point and perhaps a win before the end of the season will be a good morale booster for the championship season.

 

Decided to switch my snow tires off for the all seasons as the snow is done over here and missed the game. Figured we would lose 2 nil but a present surprise that we didn't. Does this mean I need to change my tires for each remaining game so that we pickup 1 point each time?  No chance lol.

 

 

 

 

Perhaps Good Year would be the make needed for Leicester

Don't know what's more impressive, a goal or not conceding from open play

Considering there was 7 mins of added time and the sub was made at 94...

 

I think your maths is a bit off.

Two different things. Mavididi came off at 94 mins. Separately, Evans came on for 30 seconds. I love an internet ‘gotcha’ moment but unfortunately you should have read the match report first 

[FLAN]

No other premier league team would persist with a player as inept as Soumare. Constantly gives it away. Offers nothing of any value 

[Brixtonfox]

All we need to now is beat Liverpool, and suddenly Wolves Away is a colossal 6-pointer. Fightback is on 💪🏻

Not sure whether this has been asked but any issues with the digital ticketing today?

Really pleased for him!

 

Play the players that want to pull on that shirt and be at the club. Those that want out....bye......the players today wanted to play and fight. These are the players that play now....faes bye, winks bye, vesty bye.....bring in the youngsters too

I loved the way he kept stepping forward to support attacks when we had possession.

 

He should definitely keep his place for the rest of the season to gain experience.

Playing people who can running will never catch on.

 

Playing your best player is Ricardo also helps.

First sentence makes no sense whatsoever.

 

Ricardo has been injured all season and played since he’s been available.

Just saw the Thomas pen and unhappy with that  - what happened to the VAR high bar ?

 

of course RVN saw it the opposite way around, arguing that coady’s arm didn’t move towards the ball (nonsense) and that the Thomas one was fair.

He doesn't convince me but he's the first centre half of ours I'd pick to be honest. He's more likeable than the others, younger so has scope for growth, has generally not been quite 'as' bad as the others. He's one of the very few I'd be OK with staying.

 

No doubt he'll end up on loan at Udinese and we're stuck with the other pillocks.

Okoli and Nelson in a back four next season would be more than adequate for a promotion chasing team. 

[trooky]

Not sure how we didn't get a penalty when Estupian blocked McAteer at 0-0.

 

It was a blatent foul and more of a penalty than the foul by Thomas

Really pleased for Evans, changed the game 😛

I was being sarcastic, regarding to picking Mavadidi and McAteer who are athletic and can actually run and get around the pitch.

Are you sure? 

 

Only if you ignore the first the first 8 games of the season he was full fit and sat on the bench and didn't play a single minute.

 

Plus the 6 games since his return playing the grand total of 65 minutes.

 

Chuck in the 2 games his started in game week 9 and 10 his been available for 16 games 50% of the season and played 213 minutes out of a possible 1440 minutes.

For me anything you have to look at 12 replays to decide is not clear and obvious.

 

No issue with the Coady one but I think the Thomas was harsh.

And those first eight games were under Cooper who many like to now paint out to be a decent manager who would have kept us up. Ruud is dog muck but Cooper was utter turd as well, to get two managerial appointments so badly wrong is a new level of ineptitude from a certain board …..

Just watched the 9 minute highlights and they show us in a favourable light. The minteh chance was good, otherwise what did Brighton create outside of the soft penalties?

 

I was only following on the sky sports ticker and talk sport and it sounded like we were getting hammered for the for 60 minutes.

 

What's clear is that we need to play 2 proper wingers, regardless of whom else is selected. Enzos formation is still the best one for this squad and I would be starting Daka, ricardo and skipp every time.

It doesn’t help that our defenders are thick as shit.  Why pull the shirt back and give him the option to fall over.  Forwards know that any contact, they can fall to the floor and VAR will look at it. Vardy, when he could run or had balls actually played through, was the master at getting his legs clipped and winning penalties.

We had Fatawu and Ricardo fit and ready to go but Cooper wasted it with his idea of having JJ do everything apart from the actual basics of a defender.

There is always contact in football, contact doesn't mean its a foul.

 

In the law of the game a foul is deemed as a physical offence which is unfair.

 

For me both players are tussling and pulling at each other, so Thomas contact isn't unfair.

It's like saying having the shits is better then being sick.

 

Both dreadful managers.

This seemed like a typical Cooper game- stats against us but managed to stay in it and take something.

Good point, it was very Cooperish.
