Re: What a ******* shambles!
A fairly often asked question is “who is the best player you’ve seen against us in the Turf?” and the unanimous decision has mostly been Cesc Fabregas. There’s an opposition player almost every game doing a “Cesc Fabregas” to us this season. Even Matty Cash did a “Cesc Fabregas” to us. It’s just ano...

Re: What a ******* shambles!
Plenty.
Already covered the Norwich game. It was **** but not as bad as today - we should’ve at least scored for starters - and Brentford away under Dyche wasn’t even as bad as Brentford away under Vinny this season.

Re: Zonal Marking = Marking Thin Air
What are you on about? We successfully defended all 6 corners today, probably as many free kicks and didn’t concede a goal from them. We conceded 3 from open play, one from a pen, one from a throw (inexcusable). Our zonal marking at set plays was NOT the issue today. There were other issues but zon...

Re: Zonal Marking = Marking Thin Air
Just watched the highlights for the 1st goal.. It was Brownhill running off from Odergard to join the other 5 in the penalty area leaving him all the time in the world to shoot. I don't understand how a professional player can't see this He’s never been the sharpest knife in the drawer, to be fair.
