Thread | Thought Phillips was excellent today
at 17:56 31 Aug 2024
Terrier like in his press and ball winning, and excellent use of the ball.
Him and morsy made an excellent pairing.
Cajuste looked impressive once he'd settled too. |

Thread | Not many rumours on outgoing players?
at 17:53 30 Aug 2024
Does that mean no offers? Or that we'll be settling contracts so that they can leave as free agents perhaps?
Surprised nothing really mentioned apart from the fridge to boro link. |

Thread | Speed of pass, and movement off the ball
at 07:31 29 Aug 2024
Aside from the obvious issue of defending set pieces, they were they main issues for us last night.
We know from our experience in league one how tough it can be to break down a low block, but we managed it in league one by developing an almost telepathic understanding across the pitch. Everyone knew who would be making what run, what first time pass would therefore work, and therefore unlocking teams before they got fully set in the block.
That was unsurprisingly missing last night, and it might be a few weeks before we fully have those understandings developed with the new players.
It was all just a bit laboured last night, reminiscent of McKenna's first half season, but we really all should know by now that things will click into place. Just need to show a little bit of patience, which I know isn't always easy to come by from football fans. |

Set piece defending training needed then. |

Prob a little nudge on Burgess, but a disappointing one to let in.
Need to get back in control of this game. |

Or recommended plumbers?
Boiler repair needed, and my usual plumber has gone radio silent. |

Thread | Still a bit annoyed by our non penalty award on Saturday
at 08:22 26 Aug 2024
Inexplicable that it wasn't reviewed/given with VAR. None of us are particularly enthused by the VAR factor this season, but the one comfort was that we'd get the sort of penalty awards that refs seemed determined not to give us last year (but which Leeds and Leicester got every week). Seemingly we can't even have that.
Not kidding myself that it would have changed the result at 90 minutes, not for one moment, but it would have given us a glimmer of hope and a bit of a foothold at least. |

Bloody hell, they made Sky and Don Goodman's gushing about Leeds last year seem tame.
May as well have been watching on Man City TV. |

Thread | Mad 15 minute spell aside, that was a decent enough performance
at 17:04 24 Aug 2024
We were all over the place after we scored, resulting in 3 goals and could have been more, but we made it hard fir them to create after that, and did have the occasional breakaway.
Today was always going to be a tough game, so no surprises really, season proper starts now. |

Thread | Enjoy today, it's been a long time waiting for this
at 10:17 17 Aug 2024
Bit gutted that I'm missing it, though I'm having a great weekend at green man festival, so not all bad.
Might spend a bit of time checking my phone from half 12 though.... |

Thread | Defensive shape yesterday
at 10:30 11 Aug 2024
Really noticeable that we very quickly set as a back 5 when out of possession. Johnson covered a hell of a lit of ground, getting forward plenty, but still getting in shape as needed.
Stating the obvious a bit I know, but clearly we're getting drilled for games where we need to do a lot more defending. |

Thread | Controversial opinion for the day
at 14:59 6 Aug 2024
In the spirit of recent divided opinions on the forum, I'm going to share an opinion that might leave me isolated.
I actually like the colours green and yellow. They make me think of nature, spring, fresh growth.
Anyone want to join my side on this one? [Post edited 6 Aug 15:02]

Thread | Early transfer business, possibly at a premium price
at 18:23 17 Jul 2024
Feels to me like we've made a choice to 'not fook about' with our transfer business this summer so far, even if it means having paid a bit more in some cases.
Deals for the likes of Omari, Greaves and Delap in particular, where other clubs will have been interested, we've just got on and got the deal done.
Assume this is about McKenna wanting as much time as possible to integrate into the team, rather than wait till eg October before new signings are fully settled.
We probably won't have much margin for error this season, so every training session counts! [Post edited 17 Jul 18:39]
