  1. In the old days, we never had social media accounts and what i have seen we were better off.
  2. He's our Peter Schmeichel, we have along way to go as a team but what a starting block.
  3. Thats the game's to win, having to grind out a result and making the most of what you got is a sign of progress. We knew we had to tighten it up and dean had the answers, knowing we had to win the battle and addressing it. The introduction of ramsey was a factor just for his energy and nuisance value and the SJM trick for the penalty made the day, well done Dean not a classic but a great little win. The ref is Mariah Oh the ref is Mariah .
  4. We will be into the gypsy curse next and dean peeing on all the corner flags.
  5. When you are poor at defending the d line, thats what the opposition will train on all week.
  6. We are the congo sapeurs of the premier league , we sure look pretty but we go back to shanty town
  7. Most want to beat the teams around them, yes it's nice to beat the liverpools and arsenals but the brightons are more or less 6 Pointers and could make the difference at the end of the season. Survival is the aim and a mid table slot would be nice, but you have to target your rivals for that slot and that sort of game will always be a battle. Was that the new plan B saturday sub the sub?
  8. We all want smith to do well, but i am still trying to work out what the Traore start was about, when to me this game was always going to be a battle. The internationals seem to have an effect on our side, some are still in party mood, some seem to have elavated themselves to above the graft and hard work and responsibility for the team. Leadership is so important in a team and the leicester team had Huth and wes morgan in it apart from a few stars and when the going got tough they stepped up.
  9. Thought it was a definite penalty in my view but our defending for the two goals was abysmal. Schoolboy defending for the first, 10 yards into their half and acres of space behind to knock any sort of ball into and the second was our old fatal trick of not defending the D line area. People call them wonder goals, but in fact they are free shot's at goal which we deal out far to easily. We need a defensive brain in there to organise these players and cut out our problems in defence.
  10. My first thoughts was to the pitches of mud, hill of sand training sessions under Ron Saunders, big boot's heavier ball. I think they were fit.
  11. Greatest ever is hard put on a player when you cannot tackle these days, the way players stand off and back away just did not happen back in the days they were to willing to chop your legs off. I will always have God in a special place, but for me Tony Morley was our best ever because they were out to hurt you then and just staying on the pitch was an major achievement. Jack has to be our best player now and we should all enjoy him and admire his skills but we are an injury away from being a bit light weight in their.
  12. That was wonderful to watch last night, all credit to dean and the boys they got a grip of the game and never let up. The work rate from the middle three made the difference and gave Watkins the service in the area to do the damage.
  13. Top teams use it because they have the top players, ours defence have ball watchers.
  14. My big issue with zonal marking is it gives the option of leaving it to somebody else, how often do you see two centre half's standing with their arms down, saying that was your job. It was so easy with man marking you knew who to pick up. Any decent attacking giant is heading for the small guy to make his advantage even greater. Why leave decisions in the grey area when you can nominate in the dressing room.
  15. Most teams when they build start with the defence first, we were only interested in forwards and spent the money there. This team has needed a leader for quite some time, we made do with our best player and left the defence to a bunch of ball watchers who's reaction rate is as quick as paint drying. With a leader come's organization and responsibility, what happen's in training is a mystery because no one know's their job's and we are picked apart far to easily. The only decent thing today was Southampton got on the team bus at half time, job done.
  16. The club should put the 7-2 scoreboard photo out on canvas.

    God never moved, the ball came to him.
  18. We made Bamford look like Robbie Fowler.
  19. I hope Dean noticed the hunger of the leeds players and the work rate that goe's with it, most of our team dreamed that Bielsa would let us walk another goal in. Freebie's are to be paid for.
  20. What always disappoints me is we never adapt to a game, we put a team out and play that way and only that way. Leeds made a change after 20 mins when they could see a problem and went on to target cash to provide the route to most off our downfall. Cash was not to blame but the lack of help he received was amount to a kid getting a school dinner from the government. We all know if you run through the middle at that defence a gaping hole appears, bielsa knew it and exploited it. Tactics are a major part of the game we just do not use it.
  21. Our defence seems very weak, you could run a bus through the centre but it has not been addressed. You can buy all the attacking players you want but in the end if you leak goals the task gets that much harder.
  22. Dean Smith and his coaching staff failed on every level, training, substitutions, fitness, game management and never had a plan b. If smith stays you are saying its okay to fail and produce a season that never reached any potential at all, we could not even score in the last few games and that will win you nothing. We scraped into this division and we are going out without landing a glove on our opponents, one of the poorest seasons in recent times, you stick with smith and all you get is more off the same and a slow painful decline. Leadership has not been shown anywhere from top to bottom and we ended up where we belong.
  23. Makes me wonder what a manager does, not responsible for the players and staff bit pointless then.
