Felt confident all week that we’d win and made the best form team in the country look absolutely atrocious. Alex Pattison is genuinely world class and when we put out our first choice 11 we’re a match for anyone.
Expected so much more from Walsall but they were just poor long ball merchants...
Going into this Walsall game reasonably confident, we’re in good form and home record is more than decent so if ever you’re to play the run away leaders I suppose now is that time. But ANOTHER 12:30 ko??? Supposed to be working Saturday morning so that has really ballsed up my plans, and for...
That muscly dog/weak dog meme is Tyler Smith against 15 year olds in the Virtue cup and Tyler Smith against professional footballers.
Surprised he’s got a league team to take him tbh.
Listened to the latest Price of football pod earlier, they chat about Star Lizard (mainly about Brighton’s scouting) but how Grimsby are their L2 side.
No idea what round we’re playing in tonight but got to admit I quite enjoy doing alright in this competition, still no idea how we didn’t beat Wycombe last year in the semi’s but there’s a definite freedom and better football played by us in this competition as if the pressure’s less than the...
Agree with that, Walsall (if they’re in for him) would surely be favourites of the L2 sides in for Draper but obvs he’d be a top signing for anyone in this league.
Tomkinson sounds a straight forward one if that happens, not sure he’s massively better than what we have but would definitely...
Aside from the obvious that no one would wish such an injury on anyone, Cook is incredibly loved here and well on his way to challenging the top end of our highest ever goalscorer charts which is gut wrenching in itself as everyone here wanted to see him achieve such a place. This season again...
I liked Evans, thought he looked decent in his few appearances but seemed to play once then not be fit again for three weeks, play again, miss another few weeks.
Grimsby at home: No Andy Cook, so effectively playing with no goal threat and a defence that struggles to keep a clean sheet. Would’ve been relatively comfortable with this fixture a week ago but as I said the other day, we’re a one man team without the one man.
I’ve got zero interest in whether Baldwin can carry the ball out once a game if the rest of the time he’s making errors that are costing goals. I’ve not missed Platt to the extent he’s a bang average L2 centre half, all be it a consistent one, our problem in the ‘swap’ wasn’t losing Platt but...
Think both sides will see that as two points lost, at 1-0 we were so comfortable then for Baldwin to give away such a soft pen out of nothing it was such a Bradford City thing to do, how Baldwin gets in the 11 is criminal btw absolute liability.
Then (think Baldwin lost the ball again for the...
