Agreed - the bar is very low. But I think we appreciated it would take some time for us to get into our stride.
I expect Preston to tire / switch off in the second half as our quality makes the difference.
We will play many teams who will be up for it for the first 70 mins but I honestly think we are forgetting how good our team actually is. A bit like last season - when you play against quality, better opposition, they tire you out and mistakes eventually happen. I think it’s why we were so effective scoring late in L1 and the Championship last time round.
Also our bench looks very dangerous against a tiring defence. |

He has broken through the lines a fair few times. We haven’t had that for a while. |

Just acknowledging we look a better team than the first few games.Much better performance and we are very much controlling the game.
We will always look vulnerable defensively in this league to an extent because we are on the front foot so their attacks will likely be counter attacks.We will look far more out of control than we actually are. O’Shea and Greaves are very good.
They won’t keep this up all game. We have too much quality. |

I actually think Taylor has looked bright so far. But I agree. Phenomenal player at this level. |

Ignoring the goal, we have looked good. Starting to look like a team again.
Good teams don’t lose even when not playing well - see Birmingham game.
But performances over a season get you promoted. Leeds/Burnley drew 14+ games. If we play like this and keep improving - I suspect after the international break we will hit our stride, we are going to be absolutely fine.
We have players to come in. Bench looking stronger.
Need to start getting behind the Boys - seems a bit gloomy with the transfer window and first few games.
We will win this game.

Can we get Szmodics into Zombie - Cranberries?
Or maybe even Sammie..
I was thinking:
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie.
What's in your head, in your head?
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie.
Changes to:
In your head, in your head,
Szmodics, Szmodics, Szmodics,

Over autumn and winter I really struggle for energy and and generally just feel like I'm running on empty, especially first thing in the morning. - This is usually the sign of a vitamin D deficiency. I take 1 every day (during winter/autumn months).
Other supplements I take daily:
- Cod Liver Oil
- Creatine |

2-1 Town (Al-Hamadi + Taylor)
Good feeling about this game but seriously worried about the run after…
2-0 up with Newcastle to score in last 15 mins to make it a nervous close.

350k a week is £8.4m for 6 months (ridiculous I may add)… but that isn’t a ridiculous sum if it kept us in the league.
Getting him to come play for us would be the hard part but if we were offered Rashford for 6 months under £10m we would be stupid to say no IMO. |

at 16:03 14 Dec 2024
Depends if you want to stay up or not IMO. We would all like the game to be a bit ‘tougher’ but playing nice in this league is not going to get you anywhere. The games we’ve been in have been relatively tight, playing against 10 men can make all the difference. |

VAR would have had to give a red. I don’t like it personally but streetwise means sometimes making a meal out of it… difficult to warrant a red if player stays up. |

Very likely it’s because you’ve just started and it’s a shock to your body.
But also it could be your nutrition before working out (some people need to wait a while after eating before working out or some people can eat right beforehand). Test out different foods before working out - I have a ‘big’ meal 2 hours before then a banana and some sweets right before working out for example, works ok for me.
It may also be dehydration - not drinking enough before or during working out. Sports drinks/electorates very good. Or just a pinch a salt + sugar in your water has worked for me.
Or a combination of all 3. |

Thread | Club statement
at 20:06 23 May 2024
Do we expect a club statement imminently? Story isn’t going away. 2 things can happen: Mckenna stars or goes. The media keep talking about it, we keep talking about it… when is it going to be put to bed, one way or the other? This makes us look unstable with uncertainty over Mckenna’s position, I just don’t want to be in a - selling Muirphy on transfer deadline day, leaving Leon Best up front - position any longer than we need to tbh. I’m really beginning to hate the Premier league. Fwiw I wouldn’t begrudge him of wanting to manage his boyhood club, but the other 2 would really surprise me. Utd or us (ha imagine thinking that 3 years ago…)

Thread | My top 10 moments of this season
at 19:31 6 May 2024
1. Sunderland away
George Hirst goal. Vas performance. Away from home. Against a team who were in the play offs the season before. On sky. What a start to the season!
2. The comeback vs Cardiff after going 2-0 down.
Super sub Freddy. 2-0 down at home after a good start to the season. This performance goes down as the one I remember first really thinking we were pretty good.
3. That Wes Burns goal.
What a goal. Worked from back to front before the delightful finish.
4. Sarmiento goal against Leicester (a)
Massive, massive, massive goal for us at the time.
5. Morsy goal against Leicester (h).
it feels a little boring to have 2 goals against Leicester in the list but the context of the goals cannot be ignored. Also helped being on Boxing day at home to ‘rescue’ a point. The time “Deflection FC” started appearing.
6. Harness equaliser away at Birmingham
Massive goal and a tidy, tidy finish on the turn/volley My stream was so bad I only knew it was a goal because the net moved. Went crazy.
7. Leif Davis goal against Bristol City
Timing of the goal with the importance of that goal considering the table. Big celebrations. Also meant we had won 6 on the bounce.
8. Beating Sheffield Wednesday 6-0 at home after losing 2-1 THAT away game.
So important we put Sheffield Wednesday away and bounced back after losing to Cardiff in the manner in which we did and also at that stage in the season. Thought we would beat them, but certainly didn’t expect that score line. A great win and also showed how far we have come in such a short space of time.
9. Sarmiento goal against Southampton.
Not sure I have ever celebrated a goal more. Russel Martin. Leif Davis free on the left. Last minute. Last touch. Toe poke. Limbs.
10. The full time whistle Saturday.
Just waiting for someone to call out an obvious best moment that I have missed. A couple of outside mentions:
- Leeds losing 4-0 to QPR
- Harry Clarke’s brother being mistaken for Burgess

Some of the comments on Tuanzebe are incredibly harsh imo, he has played 90 mins in the last 5 games coming into tonight (and that was 90 minutes against Maidenhead… Maidstone*).
He was forced on due to Clarke’s injury with 15 mins left when Rotherham were all over us as a team.
Tough conditions tonight coming on, looked like a player lacking match fitness. He is a quality player, just needs time. Wasn’t long ago many were raving about him on here… [Post edited 20 Feb 2024 22:30]

Was fouled for one of the goals imo. At least in the Prem next year, VAR would overturn it ;) |
