Defending corners
at 11:20 11 May 2025

What has happened to the old style of defending a corner by actually looking at where the ball is being delivered.

How many times this season have we had players grabbing attackers around the waist whilst facing away from the ball rather than watching where the ball is going.
How on earth are you supposed to defend a second ball in if your not even watching where the ball is going.
Won't miss this in the Prem'. Hope we do better next year.

What's the score. Radio five commentary match says two but BBC soccer scores and sporting index have it at three for at least ten minutes.?

I know the radio has a short delay but ten mins plus.

Haven't seen anything from either team that makes me think we couldn't beat either. Both look shaky in defence.
That said, no doubt both will choose our game to have their game of the season.

Leicester or palace
at 12:25 15 Jan 2025

Can't make my mind up on this one. Leicester loss and it keeps them behind us but puts palace further out of reach. Plus there is still a slim chance the Prem' league grow some balls and finally deduct points from the foxes

Either way, be handy for Everton and wolves to lose tonight.

Headers
at 02:36 3 Nov 2024

Enjoyed the game today but left frustrated by a ref doing his best to get Leicester a point.

One thing that is letting us down at the moment is the amount of headers we are getting that are not even making the keeper needing to make a save.

A couple of times again today we had chances to take the lead but totally fluffed the header. We not getting enough goals at this moment so we need to take advantage of these opportunities. We haven't had a prolific scorer of headers for a long while. It's probably been a decade since we had a defender who would get six or so goals from set pieces etc.

Big win for NF but I'm guessing we're not going to hear about any other games except the Liverpool defeat.

My god their fans are deluded. Conceded their first goal and that's the league lost. Admittedly you don't want to be giving Man c another three point margin.

Might as well switch it off as the Scouse crying is going up another octive and it's high enough already.

What was that about. I get European ties and at a big push maybe a cup final momento.

Read most stuff on here leading up to his signing but didn't overly pay attention as I didn't think it would actually happen.

Does anyone know what kind of pre season he has had. Last year it was stated that he didn't train well and was unfit, then of course the west ham loan completely ruined his confidence.

Did he get a full pre season in and did he play any/some of the City friendlies.

I would hate for him to be started too early if not fit as he needs to hit the ground running this season otherwise the press will have an easy target.

Would be great to see him somewhere near the form he had at Leeds.

Don't wish to defend another uninspiring performance
at 22:03 25 Jun 2024

But it's tough when the opposition has no intention of trying to move past the half way line.

Bit like when we were in div one and struggled to find a way past teams that were happy to achieve a nil nil draw.
