I'm finding it difficult to understand the severe criticism Farke is receiving from our fans. I know he has made mistakes, but how many coaches are not prone to errors. We could finish the 2023/24 with 93 points, we've had a very good season, a far more enjoyable than our previous two seasons in th...

Posted further up. Undoubtedly it will be I'm overreacting how dare I. But it's things Hecky and Marsch got absolutely hammered for Make your own judgement. Marsch used tactics that even the most clueless tactician could see were rubbish. Farke's tactics have for the most part worked, We didn't ado...

She didn't actually do a poop in case you are interested so her xTD was 0. Late for nothing in the end. I was technically late but actually on time. Had I been actually late the fault would have been hers. So what you are saying is you set your dog a target that was impossible and then blamed her f...

Just spotted Cjay's dog

I didn't make the Southgate comparison tbh, I've just seen it elsewhere, think it's actually pretty accurate. People have gone back and forth with the squad, the consensus though of our opposition in this league is its massively above a normal Championship squad, depth and pedigree wise. Stronger i...

That Is a manipulation depending on your perspective. You could say that for any manager really. Not really. Kevin Blackwell and Paul Heckingbottom were masters of defelcting blame away from themselves. I don't see that with Farke, maybe you do. When a manager says "the players didn't do X, Y ...

As a matter of interest, when do people think that we last signed a really decent no 9 at the club ? Personally speaking, I wouldn't classify Bamford as a really decent no 9, due to his inconsistent form, his lengthy goal droughts, his fragile confidence, plus him being very injury prone over the y...

Plenty of recruitment required in the summer irrespective of what league we are in next season. We need quality players that specialise in basic skills. It is needed indeed and something that Farke didn't get this summer due to circumstance that were not of his control. I am sure he would have like...

Best comparison I've heard is he is the German Southgate. The trouble is that Southgate has a lot of great players and has dragged them down. Farke has probably made players look better than they are. It is easy to say we have this great squad but the truth is somewhat different We have an average ...

We don't beat Boro at all if the linesman gives the offside call :lol: Isn't this the part of the season where DF is meant to be the expert? He's waffled on about not looking at the table till matchday 40, he's ballsed that up since. Also a big fan of making excuses? Blaming refs, international bre...

Don’t get me wrong I’m not suggesting the changing room has gone. It’s in response to your post that football is a funny old game. A good result followed by a bad one. Our dip is worse than that. And I’m not anti Farke. The international break has a lot to answer for imo. So much is made of squad q...

We’ve been crap for 5 games in a row. 3 poor defeats. A crap draw. A win where we were hanging on. We limped to the finish as I suspected we would. Hopefully we will turn it round in the play offs. But if we don’t I’m sure you’ll spin in it to something positive :) We don't beat Boro after going be...

Sorry. A 4-0 loss in a must win game. Is indicative of a dressing room that has gone to sh!te All itis indicative of is that football is, as Mr Greaves would say, a funny ol' game. A few seasons back my Sunday side played in the Cup Semi (played in midweek), we were 2nd in the league at the time an...

I have some very sad news to report. Jesse Marsch saw this photo and suffered a brain haemorrhage.

Rather strange turn of events. Illan Meslier is guaranteed to win the Championship Golden Glove for most clean sheets. Admittedly with an usually low total as over the last , 9 seasons its been rare to win it with less than 20 clean sheets, Mes can get 19 at most. He is also statistically the 4th w...

I just also want to say that I think we need to cut Archie a lot of slack. He's never been used in his best position . He's a box to box midfielder per himself in an interview with The Guardian. He's not a right back, he's not a holding midfielder, he's an 18 year old kid played out of position all...

The headline on the BBC is incomplete Leicester promotion fuelled by 'pure belief should read Leicester promotion fuelled by 'pure belief and cheating Pure b*llshit more like. They have benefitted from us and Ipswich self imploding. Leicester's bottle and self belief had gone. It is ridiculous that...

Playoffs are basically knockout football. They can often be decided by special individuals and talent. If that's the case we have a good chance. If its decided by in game management and tactical battles we are in trouble. Anyway we could be promoted by this time next week :) I don't see a problem w...

It is impossible to really know how we will fare in the play-offs. I remember the 87 one but can't remember what sort of form we had going into it. We scraped past our bogey team Oldham, if memory serves me right scoring at the death immediately after they had scored to go in front, think it might h...
