So, basically, according to our brilliant Chef, if you have a minority view, it's (i) implicitly wrong and (ii) the poster should be ashamed of it.

Otherwise, as he says, it's a free country!

Although, if you look, I think you'll find our first goal against Charlton began with an excellent throw-out from Walsh to Dembele.

Defending too low (and how to start 2nd halves better)

So, basically, until Ilias is drafted back in, we're doomed to be under the cosh for at least half the game, come what may?

Defending too low (and how to start 2nd halves better)
at 10:28 14 Sep 2025

Amid my cautious ebullience yesterday, I noticed in the post-match interview JS again alluding to our defending 'too low on the pitch' (I presume he means 'deep') at the start of the second half - something he also remarked vis-a-vis the Charlton game. The obvious question from the club interviewer was, now that he's noting a pattern, how the coaching team and players plan to deal with it, so that's what I'm wondering. JS also points out that it's virtually impossible to control a game for 90 minutes, especially away, and I'm sure that's right, but how can we address our too passive 20 minutes or so in the same period of both those games (during which, against better teams, we could easily have coneded a couple of goals)?

Gaffer on today's win

I'm warming to him too, and his very promising squad. On the subject of the latter, is this now a better squad than Warburton had when his star was at its shiniest? (I don't mean that in a disrespectful way - far from it.)

Fantastic to see the whole team (and unused subs) going over to celebrate with the away fans too - when did that last happen?

Bobby Charlton-esque! This guy is going to go for major moolah, mark my words. (Hopefully not for a nice long while.)

I don't think Wrexham are much cop and we still seem vulnerable to direct attacks on our back line, but this is really starting to look like a team now.

If this is adaptability looks like, it's just what this Dr ordered.

As per my previous post on the topic, (why) does it have to be one or the other?

Terrible/wasteful pull-back from Burrell to no one after incisive Saito-led counter-attack
. . . who now atones!

Dunne didn't look (very) offside to me, but didn't seem to protest the decision too much.

Hex 'em look seriously lower league to me, with their embarrassing, half-built, Subbuto-esque stadium, and ticky tacky crap in their own box. We've had the ball in the net once, two decent on-target attempts, and are bossing it. This type of away game should be a comfortable win for us.

(Yikes!)

Why? He's been awful at times and was lucky not to be dropped two weeks ago.

*Edit - apologies, just seen news of his injury *

In the scheme of things (worrying what people think of you/your views like an eight-year-old rather than being authentic and self-expressive), this thread is up there with the poster who took to the board to talk about weird things he'd put in his mouth.

Meanwhile, the ethnic wipeout continues in Gaza, the coral reefs are sickening, and pensioners are being arrested in Parliament Square by the morons at the Met . . .

Taylor Richards gone…thank god.
at 23:48 1 Sep 2025

That's three years salary, at a minimim, he cost us - for 21 almost entirely forgettable apps. Utterly dismal! At least he consented to leave!

Good riddance, Taylor, and take your demons with you!

Whereas an excellent former England manager was summarily dismissed for expressing an independent opinion about karma, destiny, and the disabled. Mad world!

As to the thread, Marouane Fellaini always struck me as having a truly nasty streak. Amazed he didn't pick up more red cards than he did.

Do peeps feel we can play Saito and Chair together though?

If so, who comes out, and what's our best shape?

Smythy scored our opener, and, without being outstanding, worked as hard as he always does and helped lead the line/press to commendable effect in that first half - by contrast with Dembele, who once again disappointed and fluffed his lines badly in front of goal. I hope we hang onto the little fellah and find every possible way to use (not abuse) him this season.

6 is miserable for Saito. He was the best player on the park when he came on, and head and shoulders - figuratively at least - above the rest.
