He was ill if our manager is telling the truth

 

If not I don't like liars

 

Every single football manager that has ever existed is a liar/bullshitter, every single one of them

True - thats why I dont like football managers

It's hardly unique to football Managers

 

It's how life works. Especially business

Putting an away defeat into perspective...

 

2nd Feb 2008 was the last time we won a league away from home in the month of February.

We're always shit away at this time of year.

Focusing back on matters on the field, I had a strange feeling about the Sheffield United game all last week, particularly when they asked us to return half of our allocated tickets. 
 
We made our disappointment known to them in no uncertain way, but they had no intention of changing their minds. 
 
As you can imagine, I was even angrier when I saw the area that we should have had behind the goal half empty on Saturday. It is fairly obvious now that they didn't want too many of our supporters there cheering us on.
 
As the week went on, it was becoming more likely that we were going to be without several key players, either through suspension, injury or illness and then, at the very last minute, we were deprived of Gary Madine by illness as well which meant a late change to our game plan.
 
Obviously, it wasn't one of our better performances and whilst I don't like making excuses, I think that up until the penalty – which was a quite clearly a dive – we were still in the game.
 
Likewise, I am not sure how John Fleck did not receive his marching orders when he poleaxed Tom Thorpe which effectively ended his game a short time after.
 
In regards their first goal, it ultimately came from us giving the ball away and a consequent rare slip by Mark Beevers and whilst I think it was a well taken chance by Billy Sharp, how many times have we seen balls bounce out when they hit the post?
 
Although we lost out to Sheffield United, despite fielding an under strength team due to illness, suspensions and injuries, it’s worth reminding ourselves that we had beaten them twice already this season, so in terms of the league points gained against one another honours are even. 
 
As to who will be promoted, we shall wait until the end of the season, but I seem to recall that several seasons ago they were in a similar situation at the top of the league with a seemingly comfortable gap but ultimately lost out to bitter rivals Sheffield Wednesday. 
 
As I keep saying, there will be lots of twists and turns before the end of the season.
 
That said, we have to put the defeat behind us and move on to this week when we have two games at home where if we manage to take maximum points, it will put us right back amongst those pushing for the automatic promotion spots. 
 
Hopefully, we will have a fully fit squad available for both of these matches and can look to make our mark in front of our home crowd once again.

A bit odd that.

 

Deflection tactics from his dispute?

 

dunno but it makes him look a sad small time twat clutching at straws whereas anyone who actually saw it knows we were absolute dogshit on the day and deserved nowt, except for, like enzo says, his teenage ghost writer

I think the fact he is coming out every few days on all manner of subjects - seems strange - and he was making all manner of excuses seemingly

to justify the defeat.

He is starting to interfere in everything.

 

 

He will be in the dug out next.............
