Crosses are also our only way of attack, and most teams have figured out it's relatively easy to defend against us for that reason

Pope 6 (-1) Lowton 6 Tarkowski 8* - really solid Mee 6 Pieters 5 Guðmundsson 5 - frustrating Westwood 5 Cork 7 - glad to see him back McNeil 6 Rodriguez 5 Vydra 7 - decent movement Overall, slightly disappointing again that we fail to test them at all, and seem scared every time we play them, howeve...

We had hot water

Great point...never seen a team play with so much freedom as City do against us Yep, happens every time. Same with Chelsea. Difference with other big teams is they have players who thrive on possession and gain confidence from being given space. Additionally, City also close down very well, which w...

Pope 7 could have done better with the 1st, but did ok Lowton 6 At least he was involved Tarks 7 Thank God for him and Mee Mee 7 The only thing between us and an absolute thrashing are our centre backs Pieters 6 Hopelessly exposed. Brady 6 Decent 1st half, looked totally lost in the 2nd Westwood 5 ...

From what I’m led to believe there wasn’t much of a fight put up by management to keep our top scorer at the club.

They didn't have much choice. Cricket field roof repairs/upgrade being one thing that the money for Austin was needed for

My Dad wasn't a football fan really but my Uncle took me on my first game when I was 10 or 11. Seem to remember against Lincoln, maybe a 2-2 draw. Needless to say I got into it from then and either that season, or the one after was the 4th division title winning one so never looked back from then

Belial

Villa haven’t finished above us in the league for 5 season, where has there entitlement come from? Probably because they've had a few decent results like stuffing Liverpool for 7. They have obviously forgotten how sh1te they were before someone spunked £200million on them. All humility disappeared ...

Belial

Villa obviously done their homework on us. Fullbacks weak against anyone with skill. Weak midfield. Aimless crosses to a woefully out of form striker. We've made it easy for them

Belial

We need a different option than simply hitting a hopeful cross into the box. Most teams have figured out that's all we do

0-0

Masterclass by Pope
Disasterclass by Barnes

England : Robbie Blake

My gripe with Prime is that it's a bit far behind. I knew West Ham had scored as my phone pinged off about 2 minutes prior to seeing the goal

Belial

Anyone remember Trevor Sinclair getting some stick in the early 90s from our lot behind the goal, and showing us his ass as he ran off?

Pope 7 Lowton 7 Tarkowski 8 Mee 8 Pieters 6 JBG 6 Brownhill 6 Westwood 6 Brady 6 Barnes 5 Wood 5 McNeil 6 Disappointing second half in the sense that we retreated and offered zero threat at all until we were behind (and let's face it, we don't do winning from being behind). When you sit back and def...

0-3

We don't score. They do!

No, far too much of a diving little twohat for Dyche's team

Some decent posts, though still a few tired ones mainly re race. MoxleyWolf needs to learn how football finances work. Also somewhat surprising qualifying for Europe isn’t considered an impressive achievement. What are they expecting from us, a title challenge?! Exactly what I thought. Especially t...

Belial

Some reasoned comments on there. Wolves seem to be one of those clubs who have fans that can understand our club. It probably helps that they have been down at the bottom with us not that long ago and have fans who remember those days, and that before their cash injection they weren't too dissimilar...

Pope - 8 great presence and stops however his kicking puts us under pressure regularly Lowton - 6 good first half, out of position a lot in 2nd Tarks - 8 solid Mee- 6 ok Taylor 7 - some good blocks but pass foward! Westwood -5 weak in MF Brownhill - 6 ok McNeil - 7 excellent 1st, disappeared in 2nd ...

What have we got coming through the under 23s? Anyone who could get a start off the bench ?

Good point, you'd like to think so. Mumbongo seems to be doing well

Ha ha very solid in defence, we let them have 27 shots, doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out, we were anything but solid

27 shots that were more the fault of midfield giving it away and hoofball coming straight back at us - if the defence weren't solid we'd have been beaten 7-0

Belial

I think it's too coincidental that the stats for all of our strikers are similar (i.e. low numbers)... it's the lack of service that's the problem. We could do with a midfielder than can pass forward and make a killer pass, rather than relying on the odd poor cross being enough

Belial

Doesn't matter if they are marketed as such, you are well aware that what you are procuring is technically illegal. I'm not, because I don't, however I'm not sure how the prosecutors would get round the 'ignorance' of not knowing that some of the material, if streamed, would be done illegally. Sign...

Belial

If it's illegal to stream services that you have stolen yourself, then it's just as illegal to stream services that you have paid someone else to steal for you. You can't get round the morality of it that way. I get what you're saying, although the services aren't marketed as being illegal, in the ...

They not catching many motorists breaking speed limits by 2mph these days?

Hi all, I'm not one to start threads on here, but after the phone call I received yesterday, I thought it fitting that this should be shared amongst Clarets near and far. Was out fishing yesterday off Auckland, and received a phone call from an unknown number, a certain Julie Wood, who is the big m...

It really is tedious these days. Professional cheats. Sterling has been mastering it for years

Pope 8 strong performance Lowton 6 generally ok but out of position a few times Tarkowski 8 Mee 7 Taylor 6 looks a bit off it at the moment Brady 8 good to see him gaining confidence Westwood 6 laboured Brownhill 7 as Westwood but slightly more energy McNeil 5 struggling at the moment Wood 6 couple ...

Good news although we need Bardsley back as soon as imo

Another scrappy 1-0 for us against them

Picked this up on vinyl during the summer for a cheap price at a new stall within an old antiques place and haven't stopped playing it since.

Exactly what I was thinking. It's about as much fun as watching loose women

What's happened to us this season when it comes to passing forward or passing and moving? Every time we get it we inevitably look scared and pass backwards

Belial

Pope 8
Lowton 5
Tarks 8
Mee 8
Taylor 6
JBG 6
Brownhill 6
Westwood 7
McNeil 5
Wood 8*
J Rod 8

Better, although still a way to go. Lowton been a weak link imo this season. We're still putting ourselves in trouble with ridiculous back pass far too often too. 3 points, let's hope it spurs them on

Belial

Possibly my favourite, aside from all of the aforementioned classics, is Love is Strong. Great licks. I remember being a young lad and feeling the video fit the song perfectly

Belial

It's between JBG and McNeil without a doubt. The only 2 who can actually take someone on

We have 2 routes to goal. Wide men getting crosses in or looking ball to Wood/Barnes and win the second ball. Brighton are pushing both our wide men back onto the full backs so we're looking for the long ball. Is their defender 6 foot 7? Always going to struggle against that height. If we don't cha...

Lowton poor again. Out of position, giving ball away, weak link imo, and Barnes is doing nothing but whining all game. Get J Rod on

Belial

1-3 we are all over the place atm We were much better against Spurs and W Brom and should really have taken more points. The Chelsea game was a mix of players being 'off' along with our usual negative tactics against the top 6 (which Chelsea and M City always punish us for) so wouldn't take that in...
