Un fucking believable

Joke ref.
Let's get these shithouses beat (all 12 of them)
-
Awful decision for the free kick, abysmal defending from us for the quickly taken one.
We'll be reet...

Just got back home from the game. Like the team’s performance, the support felt a bit flat first half. Great in the second half. Fantastic celebrations after the game.
JDB had very little service, but did little to justify his place in the starting line up. Presume he’ll be dropped on Saturday and he probably couldn’t argue.
I love JDB, as many do. But my god he's got so much more to offer when he's coming on in the last 20.
Deserved win in the end. Doesn't matter how we get there; we did. Quietly excited for the derby games.

Take a bow Sheehan. Gorgeous ball. Fucking come on!!

Completely left-field selection up top, love it.
That is unless we concede the first goal, in which case, booo evatt out.
-
Big, battling 3 points against another team of horrible shithouses supported by a weak ref. Performance a bit shaky at times but we've done well tonight against a side in form, particularly second half.
If you are one of the handful of people who booed Vic as he came on, you are a monumental twat. Absolutely no need. Especially as he then did a great hold up job for half an hour. Arguably did more than Collins tonight, but hey.
Lovely goal from Bod. About time! 🙂

Loosely linked to the the M1 and That Thur London chat:
The guns of HMS Belfast are pointed at London Gateway services on the M1.

Can confirm both are outside the congestion charge zone. Phew.

Think Charles could do with a break, been off form and not hitting the target, however that won't happen.
Can you imagine the uproar if Charles got rested instead of Vic?
I fully agree with you, btw.

I wondered when the 4 at the back shout would come again.
Imagine we did do it. Who sits in front, breaking up play and distributing, i.e. our Rodri, our Rice, our Guimaraes, our Hojberg? I think that's where we'd fall down as none of our current CMs are that kind of player.
And christ, imagine how exposed Rico would be without two other CBs. I love the bloke but he surely isn't good enough to be one of two.
Its a non-starter, for this season at least.
-
Red all day, stupid tackle. I thought he'd got over that nonsense.
Miracle we're only 1 down at HT, that was a disaster. Says a lot about how good Northampton are that they've not scored 3 or 4.
Ridden it out ... keep the faith we can get back in this.
-
Glad Evatt has called out our fanbase for howling bloody murder during the difficult period of the 2nd half.
If that was an away game, there would be grumbles, sure, but I'm certain there would be more supportive noises than whatever that mob lynching was. How are the players supposed to reset and focus with thousands of their own "fans" screaming every decision they make?
That cheer for the long ball was up there as one of the most embarrassing moments I've felt as a Wanderer; and that includes the thumping at Accrington. Especially pathetic as said long ball still just gave Barnsley possession.

Coventry signed Mason-Clark from Peterborough for a "substantial undisclosed fee" but loaned him back for the rest of the season
Same for Max Bird - signed by Bristol City but loaned back to Derby
I don't see how this benefits the buying club at all
Why not? Two fairly young players doing well in L1, maybe not ready for the championship but with lots of potential and (or!) a good chance of a sell on fee. And opportunity to develop in L1 further.
We saw Bristol try it with GT in the summer (granted with no loan clause) -makes sense in Jan that championship clubs would do similarly.
*BTW this transfer window has been ace. Until Collins misses a sitter or the West Brom lad gets megged on his 18 yard box, then they can become Jardel and Cid respectively...
Well excited, not gonna lie.

Too, FFS, too.
I've bitten my tongue for years ... but it's fucking too.
What's a "leaving too"?
😉

Commentators need to be advertising our part in Bradley's development a little more ahead of the loan window shutting tomorrow!
Can't help but feel tonnes of pride, even if he's playing for these bastards.
-
Ha. Having seen the throw in and offside decisions again, I retract saying 4-1 flattered us!
Abysmal. Please get out of this league, whites.

I didn't think it did, we were 3 goals better than them all day long. Baxter made 1 good save, they had a good header just wide 1st half, and scored a good goal. We had loads of near misses and in terms of possession were streets ahead, they were well beaten and 2-1 or 3-1 wouldn't have reflected our superiority.
Fair comment I suppose. Felt a bit like we were taking the piss when the 4th went in so late, but, I suppose that's the reward we can get when we've invited a press and the opponent is knackered.
Not splitting hairs
cracking result, all that matters!
-
Cracking day out, that. Great performance from all, including the subs (as someone said above, it's a 16 man game now, and all played their part). With players starting to come back/through the door, and maybe others perhaps still to be signed, we're looking in a great position for the rest of the season.
4-1 perhaps flattered us but we dominated pretty much all of the game, and importantly, heads stayed calm after conceding. More performances like that, please.
Properly chuffed, especially as it's rare I get onto an open terrace and the weather actually behaves! COYW
-
Horrible game, great result. That could prove vital at the end of the season.
Reinforcements definitely needed though.
-
Odious little man, is Wellens.
To be fair, he's got his side to do a job on us today, they've looked decent while we've been poor.
-
Haven't been this excited for a cup fixture in a long time - looking forward to see how this side stacks go aagainsta (first XI) Premier League opposition... I'm far from expecting a win, but a good battling account of ourselves would be lovely.
And while I know we probably don't need the extra fixtures, I'd love us to still be in the hat for the 4th round, and get a cracking "big club" away draw where we can bow out gracefully and make a few quid.

Great result, but i's games like this, at home against a team set up for a nil-nil, I just wish we would be slightly more flexible and have a plan B of going to a 4 at the back to get an additional, more skillful player up the pitch to help get the breakthrough. Minor quibble though while we're winning!
See, I don't think a "4 at the back" against a shithouse side coming for 0-0 would allow us the tactical flexibility we currently have. When you've got centre backs overlapping the already high full backs, we're essentially attacking with 9 players, stretching their defence out of shape.
When doing this, you can see why we're waiting for the "perfect" opportunity to shoot, as a speculative 30-yarder that lands in the keeper's gloves would then leave us vulnerable to a quick counter.
Granted its frustrating for the fans at times, but there's clearly a system that the players buy in to - and the successful progression of the club in the past few years speaks for itself.
(This isn't me having a go at you btw, just thought your post was a valid opportunity to raise a chat I was having with my mate at HT today).

Thomason is just immense. That £1m offer looks more and more derisory every game he plays!
Another 3 points, totally in control, and there's still little pockets of negativity on here. Staggering.
Fwiw, I thought Vic played well, and did everything Evatt will have asked of him. Happy Monday, gents.

Got a weird feeling this could be the game where Vic finally shows us what he's all about. Only just on my first pint too...
