Trying to work out the plan tonight 22:59 - Jan 16 with 3775 views | textbackup | Ball to an isolated Delap with two men on him, lose it, defend. Ball to an isolated Omari, 30% chance he gets a bit of a run at the defender if he controls it, then loses it, defend. Repeat. 3 shots from distance we were limited to (I think) had a half decent spell in the first half, but felt like the Everton, West Ham, palace games. Where honestly, we really didn’t look remotely like winning. |  |

Trying to work out the plan tonight on 10:39 - Jan 17 by tonybied | I only said he was scanning for his next victim, I didn't say Greaves WAS that next victim but that it was odd to single him out when most of the team were poor, carrying on twisting. Trying to work out the plan tonight by GlasgowBlue 17 Jan 9:57Ah but do you know what your mates are up to online. They may have a completely different persona that they haven’t revealed to you.
For example, Texters is a mild mannered librarian who helps little old ladies cross the street and rescues kittens when he’s not posting on here. Pretty sure I already answered this one when Frimmers asked similar above. I was talking in the real world, if Texters is a similar person if I met him face to face then I'm fairly confident we would not be mates. I don't really care for what my mates do online. The trouble is people treat online interaction like it's the inside of their heads. We all have thoughts that are not always best intended or pleasant, but most of us filter that out and only allow the more pleasant stuff to actually leave our mouths, certain people on here don't do that they just blurt out whatever rubbish fills their head and then get defensive or state it was 'just banter' when they get called on it. Texters called me "mate", I was just pointing out that the feeling would not be reciprocated if he acts the same way away from his computer/phone as he does on here. |
I reckon we’d get on great. We’d meet up after a game and I’d say ‘I thought X Y and Z played well, but Q wasn’t up to his normal standard’ You’d say ‘I thought he was alright today actually’ I’d say ‘yeah probably, maybe I’m just picking for no reason’ Then I’d say ‘beer?’ You’d say ‘yep’ And there would be no internet posts to dwell on. |  |

Trying to work out the plan tonight on 10:32 - Jan 17 by textbackup | I’m a bore that spends about 2 hrs a day dog walking in the countryside. But I love it 😎 |
Bet the poor dog doesn’t. |  | |  |

You reckon 2 working breed dogs DONT enjoy 2 x 1hr walks off the lead in the countryside every day? 😂 Oh god, you’re a cat man aren’t you [Post edited 17 Jan 15:44]

Don't think we met our match in midfield. Thought we were really good in midfield until went behind. Think Thier defence was superb, put some big challenges in and it seemed to put our attacking players off. Omari had a very poor game and hasn't really played well this season. |  | |  |

I agree that's the way it would go - if that's the way you speak face-to-face. The trouble is there's quite a big difference in that "conversation" to how you've posted about our players on here, and then how you've reacted when fairly substantial amount of posters have taken issue with the way you come across. I take no issue with difference of opinion, in fact the world would be rather dull if we all thought and said the same. I just don't find pleasure in reducing people to derogatory terms, it does no good to anyone. |  | |  |

I’m amazed they ever come back. Unless they’re on wheels with a little handle, mounted one on top of the other 😃😀🤣😂🥲. Only joking. I am!! Cuthbert and Chester - the brains of the outfit! Edit: I’m averse to dogs btw. Had lifestyles allowed it, I’d have had one. A friend has a springer spaniel called Zeus and he’s perfectly trained and just a beautiful dog. I’d have had something like that. [Post edited 17 Jan 16:57]

Trying to work out the plan tonight on 23:10 - Jan 16 by BloomBlue | But against Chelsea that ball to Delap worked as he turned the CH, tonight the Brighton CH's kept closer to him and got a foot in first. At the end of the day, Hurzeler's game plan was better than McKenna's. |
We rarely play the more risky pass through the lines, in defence or midfield even when it seems quite low risk, means we turn back and play backwards all the time. The better teams in the premier league pass routinely through the lines to attack quickly. A few times could see Morsy and Delap getting quite frustrated with people not seeing these or backing themselves to make the pass. Frustrating to watch at times last night, Brighton did a number on us and were superior. |  |

My Spaniel doesn't come back until he's tired and had enough. I have a GPS tracker on his collar so I'm pretty chilled but he runs and runs and runs. |  |

Your Spaniel gets tired? It must be broken! Our English Working Cocker Spaniel can run and run and run and run. I've never managed to tire him out, you can throw a tennis ball all day for him and he'll just keep going. Thankfully he does tend to come back to us. He just pulls like a diesel locomotive on the lead. |  | |  |
