  1. Watching us at the moment is unbelievably frustrating. There are times that the style works beautifully but in some matches the opposition understandably set up in a way that completely nullifies us. And we simply don’t have any sort of Plan B. The Barnsley game at the end of last season should have been a massive learning experience for Evatt but my fear is that in the exact same scenario this season, we would try to do the exact same thing. With the exact same outcome. Unfortunately it would seem that Evatt is a bit of a football snob when it comes to playing out from the back. Watching us reminds me of watching my daughter’s team where the coach insists on playing out short every single time. And once the opposition know what you’re going to do it’s very easy to stop. Same with us as we simply refuse to mix it up. I can imagine a situation where we’re taking a goal kick late in a match which we are drawing but need to win, the opposition have their entire team within 30 yards of our goal and yet rather than do the obvious thing of play over them and into the space behind, we will still play the ball short to someone already under pressure close to their own goal. All the best teams are unpredictable. And right now we are the exact opposite which makes us very easy to play against for a half decent opposition manager.
  2. Well that was your classic game of 2 halves. Wouldn’t question the effort, but felt like nothing at all went right in the first half. Just one mistake after another. Looked a completely different team in the second half and more than deserved the win. Evatt certainly earned his wages at half time.
  3. Well it's been confirmed for February 20th
  4. Should have known it was too good to be true. We almost got to see a heavyweight fight that people actually wanted.

    He really is choking here. 5 completed passes all half. The Chiefs are like City. They know when to peak

    Unbelievable. I thought the Packers might run them close but it seems a bunch of the teams who started the season so strong have peaked way too early
  7. Having seen Rooney interviewed whilst he was in the role at Birmingham it's no surprise at all that this hasn't worked out. If nothing else he's a really poor communicator. Gary O'Neil is the absolute opposite. So impressive in everything he does. Couple of games ago Wolves were getting outplayed for the first 15 minutes, he calls over the midfield during a stoppage and spends 30 seconds showing them something on a whiteboard. Different game after that. Seems to be a very intelligent technician.

    Safe to say that the Chiefs won’t be winning anything this season.

    If you think officiating is bad in the football… Last seconds of the Detroit Lions visiting the super popular Dallas Cowboys overnight. Detroit have scored a touchdown and are going for 2 point attempt to win the match. Never knew this but if an offensive linesman wants to be able to receive the ball from a throw he has to report himself as eligible to the referee before the play. Footage quite clearly shows a player going up to the referee and talking to him. And Detroit claim they even told the officials about this exact play before the match as they were practicing it all week. Works a dream and the ball goes to the player for a successful 2 points and the win. But no. The officials throw a flag and say the player never “reported”. Normally the officials would at least check footage in this sort of situation but refused and Dallas go on to win the game by one point. Official has doubled down by saying player didn’t “report” to him despite the video footage of him clearly doing that. Now being talked about as an example of blatant corruption in the sport. I reckon ref just ballsed up but not just premier league full of controversy right now
  10. VAR decisions just getting worse and worse every week.
  11. Klopp after getting wiped out by Tsimikas earlier is the most Klopp thing ever. Absolutely raging. Still not sure he’s checked on his injured player.
  12. I’m sure the CEO of the new Super League just said that all live matches would be free to watch. How the hell does that work?
  13. On a positive note, that might give me a better chance of getting a ticket for Luton.
  14. Very similar to Barnsley away in the play-offs. They did the same job on us.
