Mainly because rugby is a much more linear game where players and ball are generally moving in one direction together. There would be a lot of collisions with trainers and downed players when, for examples, you're a centre back backtracking under a header, or the ball's getting across the pitch or back and across. |

I think we've got great flexibility in our forwards now, and as you say Akpom, Sindre and (maybe) Szmodics could play that role for us, and the first two probably over an extended period as well. (I know it's very early days with Sindre but I think we've seen enough to suggest that even if he's unpolished, his power will allow him to be effective.)
It's great for the squad but it's also great for the adaptable individuals who've got extra chances to get game time in various roles when we're coping with injuries and fatigue. |

The radical one, which would take a lot of persuasion for some to even consider, would be to move to a Rugby League style timekeeper (not sure if they do it in Union too?) and have an official who stops the clock for throw ins, corners, goal kicks, injuries, bookings, talkings-to etc., and play out two thirty? minute halves on this strict timekeeping system.
I don't think any other system works - trainers on the pitch certainly wouldn't in football and retrospective analysis would be too subjective and open to fkn legal challenges.
However, I'd licence Norwich to do it if they can keep stealing points off our promotion rivals this season. |

Thread | Well done budgies.
at 06:38 14 Sep 2025
Coventry might be one of our closest challengers this season I think, so I'm secretly (well, not so secretly now) pleased that the little budgies managed to somehow park the bus and do extraordinarily well to ride their luck to cling on to a point and deny two to Coventry.
Don't think Cov looked that great in this game, but I just feel they've got enough about them to challenge us and Saints in the top three positions. To Norwich; it doesn't matter how embarrassing it is to play that way, you just ignore the derision and keep scrapping away to take points from the top teams.
Nice one. |

Cov 17 shots, zero on target! Murdering Norwich at football, but one nil down. |

Matusiwa is a phenomenal tackler for me, in that he seems to be very quick in, and then be able to get a legal and effective tackle in from almost any angle. His tackle timing is world class, I would say, from what I've seen of hm so far. |

Yes, the left knee buckled a bit as landed, but it was the top of his right shin he was holding. I did the same check on the replay and was mighty relieved to see that. Must have just been a bang in the air I guess? (Nothing like a bang in the air, is there?) |

Yes, and his pace when he ran past Philogene for two of his goals was phenomenal if you watch that aspect of the goal clips. Defender froze a little because of it.
The other thing I really noticed with Leif is that he is really stepping up as a leader on the pitch, with his arm round Philogene and particularly Nunez on a number of occasions talking very calmly and authoritatively to them. And you could see that they were both really listening to him as well. It was very striking to me, and very 'leadership group' type stuff. |

Urggh! Nasty, classless little forum for a nasty, classless little club.
Anyone talking on here about breaking an opponent's legs would be, quite rightly, shouted down very quickly.
Yuck. |

Imagine being a fairly conventional right back/right midfield pairing in an opposition defence when you've got Cajuste bursting forward to keep an eye on, the livewire Philogene or Clarke stepping inside and smashing it past you, while Leif comes flying at you inside or outside at 100 miles an hour, AND now here comes Jacob Greaves with his size and strength and no mean ability on the ball too...
...I'd go 'ome! |

Yes, my thoughts too. And that's a helluva compliment. Matu reads the game very well, is very quick and strong into the tackle, and he has the crucial, instinctive body positioning skills that he can seem to make a tackle from an awkward angle without fouling the opponent. He's a monster, going to be immense in the game I think. |

I made the effort to read that so I understand you and others to be right. What I don't understand is why they talk about the Squad List OR the Team List. Shirley, to be in the Team List you have to be in the Squad List? OR am I barking up the wrong tree completely? Or completely barking? |
