 No Smoking Ban 29th May 2001 14:18The ban on smoking in the upper tier of the South Stand is to be lifted. Up to now smoking has not been allowed in the new tier, but the club is allowing smokers the chance to puff away to their hearts' content during the new season.  1
The pre-smoking ban world seems a long way away.
Obviously today, there's just an inordinate number of people who need a sh1t at half-time.....

It won't change much but a win would make everyone feel a bit better. |

Thread | What a frustrating match that was
at 07:31 27 Feb 2025
First half, mixed defensively but enough attacking play to force two errors from United and I think we deserved to be 2-2, we should have had a penalty as well. The sense that we had a chance was palpable under the stands at half-time.
We even came out early for the second half, but then made so many mistakes in two minutes that it gave United something to hold onto. We had hardly conceded from a set piece all season and then looked vulnerable every single time last night.
In the same way that we struggled to break down packed defences in League 1 before the January window in 2023, we clearly can't play against sides who sit back at this level. Even a poor Southampton side with a but of organisation proved too stubborn.
There's lots of endeavour but we're too slow and not sharp enough when we do half-work opportunities. The downside of having such a young set of forwards I suppose, could really have done with a bit of guile from Chaplin in there last night.
Unfortunately we've fallen off a cliff in terms of belief since the start of the year, a bit of bad luck at Fulham and against Brighton (with the non-sending off) and then two particularly hard games. The four matches since Liverpool though, one point and the way we've contrived to lose three matches we shouldn't have in such contrastingly different ways.....
We've come a long way in three years under McKenna but we're failing on our own terms this season at the moment. Setting the club up well for next season and beyond is important but we've let ourselves down on the pitch a bit too much to enjoy this bit very much. |
