The ideal scenario is everyone back like normal (to prevent a short corner etc) as soon as the player runs up to strike it - the defending team sprint out the box.. keeper catches it and then plays it up to the now attacking team - leaving a fast break of 8 on 2 etc.

Selling Hyam how we did was negligent. To not bring in a senior centre back capable of starting games even in this window would compound that. If we dont, or we just bring O'Riordan back from a struggling League 1 side, its simply asking for trouble. Our centre back options are still sub par, I still think we are 2 short. Definitely someone to play in the middle too.

Rowett been sacked by oxford

Anlaby Road - there’s a few…I think Viking is the one Ryan & I favour…😉

I've created this now because I just wanted to check / moan about something. I saw yesterday on the Club's twitter page that tickets for this game go off sale today and there will be no sales on the day at Hillsborough, and that purchases are online only. This staggers me even by recent football standards, that tickets are going off sale over 6 days before the game despite there being no chance of a sell out and with them being skint. It seems to be a deliberate attempt to deter people from making a late decision to attend, ignoring that most people will have other things to worry about and spend their money on in the lead up to Christmas and that plenty would like to make a late decision on whether to go, perhaps after the Middlesbrough game. Mind boggling. I was tempted to go but can't commit until later in the week. Looks like the decision has been made for me.

No point him going back into the shadows where hes been operating from for a decade or so, nothing will change. He needs to be front of house and held accountable for his actions, his bosses actions who he represents here and the actions of those he employs. There's NO excuses, as COO THAT is his job otherwise clear off permanently.

His crossing has been really good this season - must pay off having a team of solid coaches around you.

It was answered by the club plants.

I reckon the 3 or 4 Val mentioned wanting in are: RWB - purchase CB - Potentially O’riordan recall. ST - Purchase ST - Loan out: Gueye and Pickering or De Neve

Yeah, and you have all the defenders running back towards their own goal not knowing exactly where their opponents are.

1-1

All of them - that's why we're 20th. With this squad and head coach it will be a massive relief if we stay up regardless of which permutation of players we field. (Imo)

We've been in a similar situation before and if they don't put Toth back in it's because they are easing him to the door. Personally i'd give Pears another game or 2 the Toth back in for the New Year, no arguments.

Plus the fact that players like Morishita or Yuki and Dolan last season are next to no use at defending corners. They may as well be on the halfway line occupying an opponent or two. The more players you can get out of the 6 yard box the more chance you have of your goalkeeper defending the corner effectively. I’m sick of seeing keepers trying to make a save on the goal line and failing to keep the ball out. On another point your attacking players are more likely to concede a penalty in those circumstances. Somebody will come up with the idea in a while and it’ll be hailed as a new master stroke.

Rob Key on the radio this morning was deeply unimpressive, stumbling his way through the interview, inarticulate, lack of explanation for the drinking story let alone addressing or showing any understanding of the multiple failures on this tour “…… you know, we’ll have a look at this, you know, the players need time off, you know, maybe it shouldn’t have happened, you know, we’ll have a look at it, you know, we’re disappointed of course, you know, we’ll have a look at this, you know, maybe lessons need to be learnt, you know, we’ll have a look at this, you know, you know, you know… Classic British management, over promoted, out of his depth, not up to the job, probably overpaid, clueless and hopeless P45s for him and McCullum

Not a chance.

Look at the teams that are already in the play off zone. How many of them are better than that team ?

Unfortunately, judging by Saturday it's been completely ignored by the vast majority of the match going fanbase too.

Blimey Mr. Shoelaces. You been hitting the festive spirits early? 😉

The Letter from the Coalition remains totally ignored,a two fingered salute to the fans of this Club. As if we needed any more proof of their arrogance,THE most hated owners this Club has ever had. Congratulations with your Indian 'Pride'.

Yep, agreed. He's playing a level below his ability at the minute, he'll definitely make the step up.

Tolaj has already played for two clubs this season so he can't move again until the Summer. Fully expect to see him in the Championship soon though.

That line up will give most sides a tough game. Unfortunately though, we only have to scratch beneath the surface to see that there's not much more quality. It's why we are where we are in the league.
