Manager under contract does job. If that wasn’t deemed good enough then the owners should’ve sacked him. Not his problem they didn’t.

Made me laugh when all the media luvvies were trying to promote a mass move to Mastodon, it will never, ever have the clout of Twitter.

We are not worthy 🙌

Shame you didn’t follow that approach on the ST thread 🤠

Watching it all unfold on your laptop week after week with that southern social media bloke on comms made me hate it even more…

I am keeping the faith, I’ve enjoyed the positive cricket of the past twelve months, this side obviously isn’t a million a miles away. But I’m also not burying my head in the sand and thinking it is all marvellous, there has been some reckless cricket on display and the Ashes is on the verge of being lost already.

I’m going to Old Trafford, so I hope you’re right, but only Don Bradman’s side (in 1937) has overseen a comeback from 2-0 down in the history of the Ashes. So it’s looking very unlikely. *Ha great minds Ewood Ace!

What’s that got to do with this series? Credit where it’s due, criticism where it’s due, that’s professional sport.

Yes totally serious, unlike your silly hyperbole. Sensible tactics would have won the first test for starters.

Ha classic Jim, can’t even agree without getting a dig in 😄

Or Duckett over Warner.

‘Traditional’ cricket like not declaring at 390 with one of the world’s best batsman flying?

We lose this series to a thumping (and remember we haven’t even lost at all for 22 years) and it’s a failure of the tactics promoted by the coach and captain. It’s a results business (even if those two think it isn’t).

We haven’t lost an Ashes series at home for 22 years, if we do so this time it is a failure of the captain and coach. That surely is unarguable?

Civil as always 🙄 No everybody can’t just take a week off with a couple of weeks notice in peak holiday season. What a strange reply.

Take it you don’t follow overseas England tours? It’s the football season!

‘I can afford it so what’s the problem?’

Payday bullet 🚄 cancelled.

JH obviously knew he could go personally, but also knew it could prove difficult for folk working somewhere else. Bit of empathy for the situation of others that another poster struggles with…

Do you mind! How about last season when Dack et al were photographed in it next to some rusty metal in the Riverside? Or the year before when the shirt was hung on a coat hangar in the rafters of the JWU next to some bird shit.

Do people usually criticise the price on here? Can’t say I remember that. Think most folk know that the cost is largely out of the club’s hands.

Think you’ll find we are the ‘Riversiders’.👌

Wouldn’t have thought so, Brentford weren’t (or the clubs Sturridge and Barton were at).

The ‘problem’ with having it right in the middle of Lytham is the early acts often end up playing to small crowds due to a load of the punters still being in the plethora of pubs and bars!

I didn’t, was late getting over with it being a work night. Hope they had a few in for it.
