Thread | Is Lambert making the first big mistake Mick made?
at 08:24 13 Nov 2019
Does treating our cup games with contempt:
- go against the popular views of the fan base desperate for a cup run
- add to rather than lower game time, add to travel, and reduce preparation opportunities in training
- hinder momentum of two league victories with the psychological effects of defeat, drawers, and replays which then affects the terraces
I am afraid I do not buy that we do not have enough fit professional footballers to at least lower the full squad rotation for cup games and mix it up.

Or will we win 1-0 under Lambert instead? |

But don't let that hide our own shortcomings, we were very poor and never looked like getting back into it. For a side at the top we carry very little goal threat |

Absolutely no redeeming points from that first half. Was us last year.
And its freezing to boot |

Thread | Are we in 3rd gear... or actually top gear?
at 17:35 21 Sep 2019
Obviously brilliant to be top, undefeated, best defence, best goal difference. We are playing the most competent and consistent in league 1.
However, we have never really dominated a game or side (aside Bolton). The common consensus is we are just cruising in a low gear and we will end up dominating with beautiful performances and 4-0 wins.
However, are we actually playing to the best of our ability? Its fine for league 1 you do not need to play amazing football to get out of this league. The gap between league 1 and the championship is wider than we probably give credit to given the comparison we can give after 9 games vs 16 seasons. |

Thread | Still not in top gear
at 18:04 31 Aug 2019
So its lovely to see ourselves 2 points clear, +10 goal difference, undefeated and 3 clean sheets.
If Shrewsbury had someone who could finish, we could have been punished today. We look weakest at LB/ LCB at the moment, Kenlock just doesn't look comfortable on the ball and is too quick to he cautious.
KVY looked excellent, really bright. Woolfenden playing beyond his years. Downes and Skuse making it very difficult for Huws, Nolan et al to get back in at the moment.
We look so much better with two than one up top, even today when Jackson went off the increase in balls towards Norwood's head became obvious and were largely ineffectual. Thankfully at 3-0 it didn't really matter.
I think it is quite clear what our strengths and weaknesses are which is better to know than not. |

Thread | Not enough threat
at 18:56 10 Aug 2019
We are relying heavily on Norwood who is largely untested at this level. His strike partner is also untested at this level. We cannot rely on these two to get us the goals we need to finish games we are dominating. Today should have been wrapped up before they equalised. We really need another striker in (1 at least) more important than getting a defender in (I do think despite his stupid error that Chambers, along with Nsiala, Woolf and Wilson as number 4, will suffice this season). |

Thread | Will Evans respond?
at 16:44 4 Aug 2019
Paul Lambert has pushed him into a corner. He has nailed his colours to the mast, and he is coming down on the side of the masses, unlike MM, who was most certainly in the corner of Mr Evans.
He is the first manager to put Evans into this position. |

Thread | Looking at the names against squad numbers
at 18:17 18 Jul 2019
I honestly don't see us seriously challenging for promotion this season, we are at least 1 striker and 1 CB away from having a competent 11.
Even then we are looking weak overall; an over abundance of midfielders and limited quality elswhere |

Thread | What happened to Nydam?
at 08:56 2 May 2019
Is he injured or out of favour?
Just thinking is he a contender with Emmanuel for the RB role next season rather than bringing another? I'd say he has a better football brain and on the ball than Emmanuel which would make up what he lacks perhaps in size and speed.
I just am not convinced Emmanuel is going to cut it. I like his attitude and hes a nice guy, just not quite good enough |

Thread | Cautious optimism
at 10:54 14 Apr 2019
Whilst I have hardly been shy of calling out the shower of sh1t that has been this season on so many levels, I am holding onto the cautious optimism that we were never annihilated this season and many games were either draws or 1 goal defeats. What was our worst defeat, 3-0? I cannot remember us shipping any more than 3.
We don't need to go mad in the summer with signings. We need to get a couple of better players in defence and in attack. Whilst we should build around our younger players, Chambers Skuse and Judge, albeit better days behind them, will be important.
I just hope we do not keep adding injury prone players to our squad. The players with most quality are the injured ones. [Post edited 14 Apr 10:55]

Thread | Is it safe to scrutinise Lambert yet?
at 07:53 11 Apr 2019
He has failed to turn around our form, his signings have made little impact. Our apparent attempts to play "better football" has seen us comprehensively relegated.
Anyone up to the age of 20 will not have memories of us being anything but Championship mediocrity finally dumped, and not give a sh1t about it. Horrible thought that. |
