Relieved to see that it has indeed failed. I would like to think that this near death experience for traditional club football will lead to something ...
I don't think Warnock is ever the type to play the kids; he's a "you don't win anything with kids" kind of manager. He believes in seasoned pros. Pr...
@powmillnaemore It's nice to be optimistic but I don't see it. I think it might fail because it still looks premature. It was meant to start with 15...
Indeed. To an extent they want to get expelled because they want to be the elite game in town. Being realistic about this, if they get a critical mass...
It's probably just the weird season and nothing to play for but it feels like what happens when a manager has lost part of the dressing room. Most of ...
@selwynoz Just had a gander. Looks like they're playing the way Warnock wants the senior team to including this weird rugby union kick off we've dev...
Since Christmas we've played like a relegation team. We are going backwards at a hell of a rate. The only bright spot has been Hall. I don't see anyth...
I could see Fry and McNair being poached by one of the promoted sides because they seem to be capable squad players for a bottom 6 team. If Norwich do...
I think, sadly, that's exactly it. It's a plan much like rugby union; kick the ball into the final third then press. Sometimes you'll be able to keep ...
First few games of the season, Britt did put a shift in but wasn't scoring goals and his confidence seemed to drain. After that he had a couple of goo...
It feels depressingly mediocre at the moment. To an extent that's a huge improvement on the worryingly shambolic when Warnock took over. It also feels...
Of all the things, this is the one that winds me up. Thing is, we've been doing it for 6 months so you have to assume at this point that they are bein...
Excellent intro there. This is a very unpredictable match. My feeling is that Warnock will go with a fairly compact 4-3-3 line up and keep McNair b...
I was reading the match report of the bar codes vs Brighton to cheer myself up. One phrase struck me, Newcastle were described as "passive". That's wh...
Surely the opposite of running...
In the Gazette, Johns writes Regardless of if Boro manage to make top six or not, this served as another reminder of Boro's improvements. With just ...
I think to be fair to Saville that the team is better with 2 midfielders and 2 attacking wing backs which means you're picking 2 from Howson, Morsy an...
I agree that he has been excellent. My point is that he makes up for his occasional lack of positioning with pace, strength and ability. That's fine u...
I hope the Bolasie signing works. There's a reasonable chance of it because he seems to be a very motivated and driven person. Possibly closer to Watm...
Back when the season started, my prediction was for Norwich to gain automatic promotion, Bournemouth to make the playoffs and Watford to sink like a s...
Difficult one this. Wycombe have been showing signs of life recently. For us, with 3 wins then 1 loss it is hard to know what kind of performance we'l...
Agreed. We're an inconsistent, top-half team that works really hard but lacks creativity and composure while attacking. We had an off day against Weds...
That is a shock. Something must have broken down catastrophically behind the scenes. I suspect that having lost 2 managers in 10 games the players wil...
Only saw the highlights and I can see that from the ref's angle it may have looked as though Morsy lurched forward while falling to the ground to try ...
That's something I hadn't noticed and one hell of a turnaround. I was wondering after the last game whether other teams had figured us out. To an e...
We're not as good as we looked against Derby and not as bad as we looked at against Preston. Both games were very similar in that once a team went beh...
It's starting to feel like we've been found out. Teams are playing around our man to man marking. Not that Preston are world beaters. Bola's having hi...
That was a game of fine margins. For all Watmore scored two goals, Bola is my MoM: he chewed up and spat out every Swansea player who came within rang...
Excellent report, as always. I've been really impressed with Bola. You always feel confident when he's up against a forward. He has solved our left si...
