Agree with this assessment. Worked hard yesterday but Ladapo looked like a considerable upgrade in terms of threat/ strength up top when he came on. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go out on loan, possibly back to AFCW in the League below.
13 assists this season suggests otherwise to be fair! I think we've seen in the short time McKenna has been here that good coaching goes a long way for any player.
Went to watch Col U/ Forest Green last night & was really impressed with Forest Green's right back. 22 years old and reminded me a lot of Cresswell in his earlier years (albeit obviously he plays on the right instead of the left). Really comfortable on the ball, nothing of any note got down his side and made good runs going forward too. 13 assists and 3 goals this season.
Sounds like Bristol City have been keeping tabs on him, interestingly he came through West Brom's academy so is quite possibly one Ashton has some background on. KMc's plans for formation/ set up next season and what he thinks of KVY are obviously unknown at this stage but should we be in the market for a right back, he looks like an excellent option.
100% this Mr Ipswich and the boos this week were totally deserved. We literally bottled a 2 goal cushion against an average side that had barely threatened our goal. Complete lack of character, focus and most concerningly a total lack of game management from the moment we went 2-0 up. Lack of leadership also a big problem. Frustration has reached boiling point I feel, it is stating the complete obvious to say that today (and to be where we are right now, regardless of games played) is completely unacceptable.
Might want to scroll up to see my comment that followed that one. I wasn't saying last year's was solid either, I was mainly referring to how poor our game management was tonight. And frankly, it was terrible. Did not head the warnings at all.
A solid foundation like, say, a unit that doesn't allow cheap throw ins and free kicks to a team that literally specialises on set pieces and a management team that manages game situations.
He is certainly a player with a lot of promise and who has a bright future if managed well. I think first team experience out on loan is most definitely what he needs for his development, perhaps at a National League level initially. Ability is definitely there, physicality is the next step.
Whateley just seems to be one of a whole generation of modern time ministers with no discernable talent who say the first thing that comes into their head/ hope it will stick.
If the guidance is going to be that we are expected to wear masks in indoor spaces, you really have to question why the working from home requirement is being removed. The idea of wanting everybody back in their offices at once, plus the mask expectation, simply makes no sense whatsoever.
In years to come, people will rue the 20-30 year olds who couldn't resist going out and partying in imaginary nightclubs that weren't even open during the pandemic.
In the interest of balance and consistency, it's fair to say every age group has had people who have behaved irresponsibly. Some of the worst culprits have been the ones telling us what we should do or the advisers to them (a la Cummings/ Hancock), and frankly that has not helped matters.
Ultimately cases are not spreading world wide purely because of one specific age category, as tempting as it is for some to jump onto an overly recycled and completely predictable narrative.
Really don't agree with this. As is pretty much always the case, the younger age groups are the easy target without any obvious justification for being so, I get fed up of hearing it.
The biggest reason for cases being on the rise is due to govt policy (had we red listed travel to and from India a couple of weeks earlier, as suggested, the extent of the spread of the delta variant could well have been avoided and we could well have been in a position to lift restrictions last month. The route cause of last year's situation was due to confusing rules and hesitancy to implement restrictions. Many younger workers had to go out and work during the lockdown due to their sick pay and the basic need to put food on the table. Not to mention the GCSE/ A level students who have had their immediate career and academic ambitions dashed by the algorithm fiasco last year)
A return to more familiarity is a step in the right direction, although clearly this announcement is not the be all and end all. Whilst life here will shift a lot more, we are still a long way off having anything like the freedoms we were used to pre Covid (international travel being the obvious one).
Until the world as a collective has had sufficient access to vaccinations, Covid will always be a risk to either ourselves and other nations in the form of new variants.
I don't see all restaurants and public places suddenly abandoning all measures and returning to exactly how they were just because they no longer legally have to. Being more cautious and staying away from busy places/ at least having face coverings when we have colds is by no means a practice to suddenly abandon.
Today feels like a cautiously optimistic step, although clearly transmission is going to reach a considerably riskier level. There's no doubt still a huge risk, but also an argument that the increasing mental health damage to a weary population, that have largely followed the guidance and rules very strictly, of delaying easing further is simply not an option. The vaccine uptake has been very good, to then prolong restrictions would risk yet further credibility being lost, so it's a difficult balance to strike.
Clearly covid will still be a cloud that hangs over us all for the foreseeable future.
I would hardly say having to play Germany in the last 16 as a 'reward' for winning their group is a good break in fairness. These players deserve all the credit they are getting, this current group give everything every game and are role models for a future generation of young fans. Under Southgate, there is a general confidence that we will handle the pressure unlike the teams of years gone by. Nobody has really laid a glove on us, perhaps Scotland but no goals conceded speaks for itself.
I'm heading down. It looks like a very straightforward 1hrish journey from me.
Statement looks pretty decent too, big on their eco friendly stuff and majority of the stadium is general admission so easy to find a decent spot/ shift about.
