We went into this season without owning known specialist championship fullbacks - save Jimmy Dunne who quickly reverted to centre half. We knew goalkeeping was a problem and left it. Spent 4 million on a centre half in January.
We have conceded the second highest number of goals after Shef Wed, - could these things be connected?
For me its actually the ownership we have to look to.
I think we are scared to do so given they pump money in but this regime has regularly had it pants pulled down by various now wealthy men at our/ the owners expanse.
It has happened again with a CEO talking them round.
We have spent the Eze money on a few shiny things and ended up with a totally unbalanced squad. Buying Edwards to please the fans very very typical of the last 15 years or so.
As I type its Monday morning and most of us are on the way to work to have the p1ss ripped out of us again.
Can I add constant foul throws and corners evidently outside the quadrant to the list of set piece horrors set out above. Every single change making the product worse.
I find I am often exhausted at the end of games - the tension does me in.
Saturday I was serene as I knew were were getting tonked from minute 1. No anxiety just resignation. I was surprised it was only 2 and I did have a moment of extreme rage at Varane after the second goal but apart from that I felt strangely disengaged. Whole ground felt similar apart from a few thousand northerners singing about Sheffield Wednesday for 96 minutes.
Surely any performance review of the season so far makes it clear the fitness, injury and pitch issues are all unsatisfactory. It is the ultimate results business so thank you for your efforts but we are going in another direction.
I thought England would be a different side after half time ..but no.
They picked a small back row and paid for it at the breakdown. Really did look like a coaching mess to me. if Itoje was not captain he would surely be dropped for Italy -who are getting better by the game as they realise what weapons they have available. Thought they were excellent against France who I think are the best team in the world now.
and the amateur club is still going and trying to secure their historic ground and keep it away from people like the chelsea woman's team. The Jordan lot have no interest in that
Was sat in the Charlton end last night with a Charlton supporting mate quite close to jones on the touch line.
He is a full on loony I was fascinated watching him. Was twitching, and at times not watching the game. Talked to himself incessantly in the third person. During water breaks at times he wandered off and his coaches were left instructing his players.
Was like an evil version of Olly . Looking like a man who hadn’t slept for three weeks after his wife left him for a wealthier man, totally bizarre- if I read today he had been committed it would not surprise me.
kicking the ball repeatedly to the best free running team in the world pretty staggering. Pack and lineout were ok. Back 3 slow AF. Suspect O'Gara will be getting the removal men round this year.
He played a lot of games when picked- i.e. never cried off with injury. After his first cap for England his first call was to Steve Gallen to say thank you. Also drained a tonne of cash out of north battersea. Undoubtedly the right sort. Wonder if Palace pick him up?
