Maybe the players are stifled by the system? The slow build up by its very design makes it easy to double up on players. Encouraging the right winger to come inside makes it even more congested. The right back is then not allowed to get forward much despite that being where the space is. Teams that...

He's a good finisher from midfield, he relies on there being a target man ahead of him. But he's not a natural predator, at least not yet, he doesn't make those runs a striker like Joseph does.. He likes to find pockets of space to get the ball andhave time to shoot. More of a late arriver into the...

There was a point in the first half when Summerville got the ball/ I should have freeze framed. It seemed like every Southampton player was in the frame, and between Summerville and the goal. I think Rutter got more room in the middle. But he did very little and was off with his passes a few times....

Given that a fair few of our players will leave, a hope that we are able to re-invest a decent chunk of the money, a realism over players we are likely able to sign put the line-up you'd like to see. I will kick off by saying I can't see any of the loanees returning with the possible exception of Aa...

It is of course easy to judge Farke's tactics given we have no idea of how well other tactics would have worked with this group of players. It is easy to say play faster etc but then we likely give the ball away a lot more and leave ourselves open - a bit like it can be said of the Bielsa side when ...

But that's literally what a Championship squad is. Bielsa had a limited squad, Mckenna had a limited squad. The manager is meant to make the difference. Farke doesn't. Big difference with McKenna is that he took charge of Ipswich in December 2021. This meant he had a few months to assess what he ha...

Bielsa had experienced campaigners, a set-piece specialist in Pablo & goals from his No.9, central-midfield & CBs. Farke team has none of those attributes. I said it a few weeks back that put Pablo in this side instead of Rutter and we'd have been promoted. Rutter has the potential to be an...

That's a Championship squad. Consistent 7 or 8s play at the highest level. Farke is a bang average Championship manager said it all along. Have you never heard of expressions along the lines of seasoned championship pro? There are plenty that aren't quite good enough for the prem but great in the c...

"The issues" in the summer didn't have anything to do with not beating Watford in March when we were 2nd. Or Sunderland when we were 2nd. Or the poor December form. Anyway 7 points from our last 8 is what did us. They did though. A better start and we are neck and neck with Leiecester and...

And I don't get the knocking of Rutter/Summerville and Gnonto. Geo left it all out there today. You're not on any moral high ground here picking on the players. I think we were hampered today with no striker on the pitch...again I could run around like a d*ck but it doesn't mean I would have impact...

Genuine question though. People keep going on about this being one of the best Championship sides ever. Is it really that good in terms of individual quality and depth? We have/had a good side if everyone played at their best. Unfortunately we have too many that are great on their day but are 3s or...

Farke got us to 90 points. The players froze today, three of our front four were sub-par when it mattered. We’ve been inconsistent for two months, it’s not just the manager that failed. We’re better suited to a rebuild in the Championship, it’ll be interesting to see what the 49ers approach is, wha...

P: Hopefully next season we are stronger. I am not fussed over who we lose as most of the players that we lose are the ones who bottle it for the big games. Burnley, LUton and Sheff U are nothing to really worry about and neither is the rest of the division. Unlikely also that there will be an Ipswi...

He should deffo stay. Once again the front players let him down, like they have done in all the big games. Gnonto, Summerville and Rutter may as well have not been on the pitch. Hopefully he can shape the team how he wants to. Feel gutted for Dan James, misses the penalty for Wales and then sees his...

But sorry absolutely don't need to see Paris Hilton, cringe.

Was there also a message from Beverley Travelodge?

So Weasel what dya reckon ? How should he go abart this ? I reckon we'll know from the very first minute myself. The 3-0 first half maulin they gave us should've taught him all he needs to know, and to not fck about too deep bringing it out. What do you think will and won't work v Soton ? We go out...

He’s the Tiger Woods of darts. He just ups it at will when he needs to. I wonder if Humphries is just a bit too friendly though. I don't think so. It is such a fine line with darts and doubles. Both score heavily but on one night a couple of missed doubles darts can be the difference, especially wi...

He's a nice down to earth lad as well Jay. Good luck to him. I thought our Leeds Luke spoke very well about him after the game. Yeah it has been great to see how all the players in the premier league darts have been so friendly with each other. So much better than watching the ridiculous antics of ...

Before our last game of the season against Southampton I said I would be amazed if Martin risked Adam Armstrong and Adams in a nothing game for them. Boy has that decision bitten him on the arse. I think Martin Russell wanted to beat us to lay down a amrker for the play-offs and get in our heads. H...

Dark horse Weasel. You have to spot something no one else does. Like the “hole in 1 gang” for instance. Getting up to 100/1 on a 2/1 shot. They did their homework and realised the bookies were totally underestimating the chances of a hole in 1 in a pro tournament. They just looked at historical rec...
