J*B

I know for sure that I don’t want to be getting twatted 4-0 every week in the Premier League knowing that because of our ownership not spending as much as Russian Oligarchs or The Saudi Government, sports-washing for political gain, we will never achieve anything higher than 10th.

To be fair I said a good team. Ie a team that wins most weeks.

In the grand scheme of things Longers, in my opinion it’s much better being a good team in a worse league than the constant drag of “can we steal a point against this club owned by a multi billionaire?” as you try your upmost to finish 17th. The Premier League is a shambles.

I honestly think the attitude of “Dackys coming on shortly, he will score for us.” is part of our problem. I’d rather we played him in the first half and took him off at half time.

Kaminski Nyambe Lenihan JVH Wharton Giles Travis Buckley Khadra Dack BBD We really should be tonking these 3 or 4 nil. But we will probably draw 2-2.

Bed time time Nuttall, you’ve had enough to drink today.

I’m not convinced. In fact I’m pretty sure he’s only ever been hired because he’s got a German accent, wacky hair and Klopp is doing well.

The way out this league is team spirit. Every team that is promoted has a strong team spirit. I don’t care if we’re not the best team in the league, but I want them to understand and always try. I don’t want anything posh or fancy, I want someone that gets what we want. Bring in Gareth Ainsworth.

I was the same with Dack until I saw him against Coventry. He played 45 minutes and could hardly move after about 35. By the 80th minute he was moving so, so slowly.

Don’t let it bring you down, finishing 6th only means you’ve got two more games against either 3rd, 4th or 5th. We wouldn’t beat any of them.

They’re just not good enough, which is really unfortunate. We can all talk about fuck ups and what went wrong - but for me the biggest one was recruitment. Giles - decent player, but didn’t need him. Zeefuik - has been injured since we got him. Hedges - looks miles off it. Markanday - injured in his debut. Not one made a difference. When you’re in that position you need signings that either improve the team or are adequate cover and none of them are… bar Giles, who isn’t being played in his correct position.

JVH has been good. Kaminski good. Travis has been good.

This is absolutely unbearable. In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t really matter, even if we got a result it’s a chase to get tonked 3-0 by Forest at some stage.

They won’t, Moerpho, please don’t get your hopes up.

Given the scores at the moment this has become must win again…

You’re guess is as good as mine. Perhaps he looked at his phone and saw the videos on Twitter? Perhaps his wife text him? Perhaps someone went in and showed it him on an iPad? Perhaps a referee friend gave him a tip off?

He missed a Pool penalty in the first half and if you ask me he’s been told that at half time - which is against the rules - and he’s now therefore giving everything to Pool until it’s levelled out.

Feels like a waiting game for Pool to score here.

Has Rothwell had a good game since 1st Feb?

Yep, the problem is who comes off today! Dolan least busy but that would mean Gallagher out wide. It would be harsh but if we can get to 70 minutes I wouldn’t mind… Kaminski Nyambe Lenihan JVH Wharton Pickering Buckley Rothwell Travis Dack BBD. Half time now. The ref is 100% going to be told he should have given Pool a penalty, so expect a decision at least against us second half. Need to score a second before that happens.

I think we’re playing really well..!

Think Pickering is getting a little more than he deserves. Their right winger is obviously very quick and dangerous. I’m happy to keep Pickering on instead of Giles because Giles is forward focused, Pickering is capable of just defending. Wharton needs to do more to protect Pickering.

To be fair his first touch was brilliant…

I’m going to keep saying it for the history books, if you play Gally down the middle and play long balls / crosses into the box he will score. He’s not the best footballer in the world but he’s carried by his attributes, he’s quick, strong and powerful.

Sheff Utd pick up a draw. Would have preferred them to lose, obviously. I expect… Boro 3 pts Forest 3 pts QPR 1 pt Fulham 3 pts Hudds and Luton… best for us it’s a 0-0?
