    Quiz question if you’re bored - 3 parts - no googling!

    Obviously excluding this season, when did the following things last happen… 1) we did the double over a team that got promotion (easy). 2) we did the double over a team that got automatic promotion (trickier). 3) we did the double over a team that got promoted as champions (horrible). And...

    Corners

    Don’t want to be too negative after tonight… But when was the last time we scored from a corner (apart from the recent own goal)? We have enough of them. I actually can’t remember us getting our head on one the last few games. Not sure if it’s the delivery or the players in the box but we’re...

    Defending for their goal

    Very naive. Just not aware of who is around them. Rav and Dael just not spotting who they should be picking up. That was a situation where we outnumbered them and should have been in control of. Suddenly there’s a man on the edge of our box in 20 yards of space. I don’t understand how this...

    McGree and Silvera home soon…

    Hopefully next week. Aus out of Asia cup.

    Defending (in general)

    Don’t want to be too critical. It wasn’t just tonight’s game this happened (and it definitely isn’t just Boro). But what has happened to defending? This was chelsea’s 5th goal. 4 defenders, all central, all near the 6 yard line. And all of them (possibly excusing O’Brien) marking absolutely...

    Anyone know the rules on cup eligibility?

    I can only hope we’re in talks with various prem clubs about getting some loans in 🤞🏼 Assuming we do, will we be able to play them against Chelsea (assuming they didn’t play for their parent club)? Or did we need them to be registered at the start of the competition?

    Dieng

    Wasn’t at the game today. Anyone know what happened? Look serious?

    Isaiah Jones - played centrally?

    Ok, just thinking out loud here, so I’m prepared to be ridiculed…! I’m a big fan of Jones. Obviously hasn’t progressed like we were hoping after that incredible season he had. But I think most on here think we are a better team with him on the pitch. He’s quick, direct, can beat a player, and...

    Sol Brynn

    May be a stupid question, but I’ve never actually seen him play. Is he remotely close to the standard of being our no 1 next season? He’s obviously been with us a while, is he progressing, or just destined to be a league 1/2 keeper all his career?

    Is Rotherham game on Sky?

    I didn’t think it was. But today, Sky website is saying it’s on the red button. So are several other websites I look at for this kind of thing, though they might just link to Sky website. Appreciate any replies if anyone knows for sure. 👍

    One Shot On Target

    Ok, I don’t want to come across too “glass half empty…” Thought we were excellent tonight. Played some lovely stuff. Controlled most of the game, with a weakened team. I’m more confident about the playoffs now than I was yesterday. But only 1 shot on target. Final balls and crosses were poor...

    Comedy typo in match report on Bristol page

    Made me laugh!

    Defenders marking space? Not players.

    Sometimes our defending really ***** me off. Players just standing goal side without any interest in where the attackers are. Their 1st goal tonight, we have a defender standing level with the near post and a defender standing level with the far post. Neither of them moving or doing anything...

    Will our game be on Sky?

    Obviously after tonight the playoffs are the only thing left to sort out. Can’t remember from previous seasons how many games are shown across the Sky channels on the last day? Assume Sheffield and Luton games will be 1st choices and we’d be next. Anyone got any knowledge / memory of how Sky...

    1st Saturday in months I’m not looking at results elsewhere…

    Nice just to concentrate on our game without checking other scores for once!

    Phil Foden goal yesterday

    Sorry, I’m not clever enough to post links…🙈 25 yards out, loads of players in front of him, didn’t even hit it that well. Deflected and in. Hope Wilder and the players were watching. That’s the kind of goal we NEVER score because we don’t shoot!

    What’s happened to Jones?

    Obviously has had a brilliant season and I don’t want to knock him. But he hasn’t looked the same player since his illness. Sometimes teams are doubling up on him, which is fair enough. But even 1 on 1 he always just playing the simple pass inside at the moment. Not many times recently where he...

    What’s happened to Crooks?

    Not wanting to unfairly knock the guy, but he just seems a completely different player the last month or 2. I’d have said he was one of the first names on the team sheet earlier in the season. Struggling now to remember the last good game he had. On top of that, he’s not even making runs on set...

    Lone Striker?

    We are persisting with playing 2 strikers. At home it is working, but away from home they are anonymous. No point playing 2 strikers if we can’t get the ball to them (and they can’t finish chances anyway…) Maybe 3-4-2-1 could work. Crooks and Tav behind a lone striker? Howson and McGree behind...

    Coburn?

    I personally haven’t seen much of Coburn so genuinely interested in people’s thoughts. Think most on here agree Watmore is key but needs his appearances managed. Connolly and Sporar haven’t shown much quality recently. Balogun has done next to nothing and looks out of place. Is Coburn good...
