bodes well for the playoffs at least! It does although the worry is that WBA basically mirrored the lesser team's approach against us and had success against us. Southampton is the unknown as we saw when Leicester went at us that they created good chances and Southampton are probably more clinical ...

There's that and there's the worry that our league best forward line is undefendable any other way so teams plan to be more defensive to cope Barndoor Bamford & Row Z Rutter? James and Gnonto inconsistent and both prefer having lots of space.The only consistent threat has been Summerville with ...

Some of you may recall a thread I started a few months back about Southampton being flat track bullies and basically pointing out how their great run had been schewed by facing only 6 top half teams in their 25 match unbeaten run (they drew 4 of those 6 matches against the better opposition). I also...

What’s a baboob?
A baboon mixed with a boob?

I couldn't describe you any better than that!

Update from Connor on Farke's future, option to sign Rodon and keeping the squad together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6d_ZjcPDVk I think signing Rodon and Roberts permanently is dependent on us getting promotion. If Spurs, or Burnley, are looking to fleece us then we should look elsewhere for...

I thought for a terrible moment you had called me a baboon. I draw the line at baboon I can tell you. Maybe a macaque but a baboon is going too far. I am exceptionally talented at keepy uppy with a balloon. My record is 9 ups. In the immortal words of Lisa Simpson you sir are a baboon. Baboob, babo...

Not the same though is it. If Udders concede early they’ll fold as in reality they have nothing to play for as opposed to earlier in the season. No match is the same, different players, different pitch, different officials, different kits. Two things likely to be the same are the size of the goals ...

Just gotta put our strongest team out and win the match. Then we've done our bit. Ipswich didn't buckle in their last two matches and they only need a point. But, you never know, Hudders could spawn a couple of goals from penalties, deflections, own goals and the way Morsi is he could quite easily ...

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...
