Fucking brilliant tackle. Been saying it for around 3 years, when fit he is the most important player in the squad for me.

And recognised by GRGets better every time I watch it. Swansea forward (can’t spell his name ) just about to pull the trigger.
Indeed, and what a cross from ..... Malone, good ladSuperb finish for the second
He is Only isolated cause the geezer is a statue! Having him on is like playing with 10 menAmazing afobe isolated the entire game but as soon as he has a partner we put quality crosses into the box and look like scoring
The ball goes out for a throw-in, and one of our players [who is] not involved punches the ball back on the pitch. I'm absolutely furious about it. I've told him. That just can't happen. He punched the ball back to them to take a throw-in quickly and we concede a goal.
"Whether you're on the bench or whether you're not involved, you need to add value to your team somehow. That's certainly not adding value.
Journey to Swansea not the best with heavy rain and slow moving traffic. After 20 minutes was beginning to wish I was still stuck on the M4! After 90 minutes wasn't looking forward to the drive back but, at least, there was some satisfaction we'd turned up a little in the 2nd half. After 95 minutes the journey was a breeze!! Even being held back by OB for 30 minutes at the end couldn't dampen the spirits!Safe journey home to you 302 stalwarts, hopefully a lot happier than you thought you'd be.
Proud of you all. COYL.
We severely lack leadership in that back line without Hutchinson. He is the one who steps out, goes to close down and organises the rest of them.I have just seen the highlights, Bart made a number of good saves, but as GR said we did have chances, 2 goals, hit the bar twice, 2 pen shouts (the first was a pen, the second, I'm not to sure) Burey had a good chance that went over the bar.
Are we zone marking? as it has been said in this thread, we are just backing off, and if we are zone marking, it just makes us look like no one is stepping up to tackle, well because, no one was/is.
Malone has never been the best tackler, even in his first spell with us, he has not been very good so far this season, but nor has any of the defense (Bart excluded)
Cooper has been poor without Hutch in the team, but I don't believe Hutch plays well in a back 5.
The Leeds kid needs games and he will make mistakes, I'm not sure if it was wise to bring him in if we are trying to get in the top 6 (with the money JB has laid out so far this season compared to the last few seasons I'd assume so) but he looks a good prospect.
Wallace has been ok not great, maybe still finding his feet again in the CB role, after playing most of last season as a wingback.
Danny has done ok, but again, just like the rest of the back 5, not up to the defensive stranded of last season, is this due to my above point of zone marking
I know we are only a few games in, and we have done really well to be where we currently are, but we are not always going to be able to come back from 2 down to win or draw, I think GR sees this, going by his post match interview, I hope he addresses it.
Clocked that as well and relieved you've sorted itNo mention of giant squid in that statement though ?
One of Hutch’s best features is how he steps out to intercept a pass before it gets to an opposing forward.We severely lack leadership in that back line without Hutchinson. He is the one who steps out, goes to close down and organises the rest of them.
When playing 5 at the back, one of your defenders has to step out almost in to midfield. The wing backs need to be up and down furiously. We haven’t seemed to kick in to gear defensively yet. Against Coventry they looked asleep and were 2 yards off the pace for the first half an hour, it was really strange to watch. Cooper particularly looked as though he was running in treacle.
Careful that’s negative you’ll get called namesHes on

Rowett out. Fold the club.4th. tidy
Was saying the same but shot down. Another player condemned and written off as useless, even before he played a game for us, by some. Harris was accused by one loon of trying to get us relegated on purpose when he bought ( his mate) Leonard. We had another poster who reckoned he wasn;t a pro footballer, park footballer, same poster reminded us on a regular basis that he reported on football for the gutter press for decades.Fucking brilliant tackle.
