Yep I’ve had that as well

I’ve given up for now. I doubt I’ll have problems getting tickets later on

Thanks, thought it was just me.
The usual digital shambles

Sgt. Pepper

Saw him in (?)2016 at the Apollo in Manchester, and he looked quite frail even then. The word genius is used far too often, but he was undoubtedly a ground breaking visionary in the field of sound recording/production, and wrote some truly wonderful songs. By all accounts he was a troubled soul, may...

Sgt. Pepper

We have two more players but are unable to keep the ball.
Baffling.

Sgt. Pepper

Wednesday are undoubtedly playing well, but our Plan A just isn't working. Still, Edwards has had a couple of touches that show real quality.

Sgt. Pepper

Really not great so far.
Very lucky to be level.

Sgt. Pepper

It's weird, because barring an absolutely shocking run we're not going to miss the playoffs. We're eighteen points clear of seventh. We'd be better throwing the kitchen sink at the last twenty minutes of games like Preston/Stoke/Portsmouth etc., and risk losing a point to try and gain three. Maybe P...

Sgt. Pepper

Only some terrible finishing stopped us winning that.

Sgt. Pepper

I think it's well established Osmotic is a tw@t, and Heckinbottom's teams are usually deeply unpleasant.

Barnes in 90th minute.

Genius.

Bizarre, and quite baffling.
What on earth is the point?

Sgt. Pepper

10:00 just after Tresor plays the ball, I don't think I've ever seen a professional footballer looking less interested in getting into the box. He might as well have sat down and pulled out a book. Strange that he made himself available if there is a problem, and you can't question his ability. http...

Sgt. Pepper

Parker is incapable of being proactive.
Needs to change Sarmiento/Anthony so we can keep possession, and Laurent so he doesn't get a second yellow, but he'll probably wait until they score.

Sgt. Pepper

Foster on now.
Bizarre

Sgt. Pepper

Stoke is rapidly becoming a very difficult club to manage. I live in the Potteries, and the locals aren't happy. Walters appears to be destroying the club with his huge ego, despite having none of the skills/experience of a proper DOF. He didn't exactly pull up trees at Fleetwood. Apparently he sack...

Sgt. Pepper

Sheffield United have looked really poor, but maybe that's because we've been excellent defensively and without the ball. Whatever the reason, I think there are no stand out teams in the Championship this season, and the gulf between it and the Premier League is bigger than ever. Oh, and Tom Davies ...

Sgt. Pepper

We don't really have much up top.
Norwich have been the much better side.
Some of these set pieces/corners, and as for Anthony's crossing, Jesus wept.

We should start with this pace.

Or even this shape/team.

Sgt. Pepper

Odd that it's taken until seventy minutes for SP to end up with all the pegs in the right shaped holes.

Sgt. Pepper

Lucky not to be one down.
We could do with changing this, it's quite obviously not working.

Sgt. Pepper

We're a more effective attacking unit when we play an actual centre forward, whoever it is.
Feel a bit sorry for Flemming.

Sgt. Pepper

Not seen enough of Hountondji to figure out if he's good enough, but surely if he's worth a place on the bench we should be playing an actual forward in the last ten minutes of a game like this.

Sgt. Pepper

I posted that just before he scored, honest

It's a good watch now.
Oh, and I was completely wrong about Egan-Riley. I wasn't convinced he was a CB, but he's immense.

Sgt. Pepper

Should be more open now that Coventry have to push to get something from the game.
It'll be interesting to see if we can get in behind, especially down the right.
Hopefully we won't sit back and sit on a one goal lead.

Sgt. Pepper

It's very different than Dyche, or Kompany (in the Championship at least). In games like this under Dyche there was a frantic attempt at getting it up the pitch and trying make something happen. In Kompany's Championship season it always felt that we had the quality to make a bit of magic happen. N...

Sgt. Pepper

Not that bad a performance, it's just that with the squad we actually have available we're not really any better than most of the teams we're playing.
We're doing OK considering we don't actually have a centre forward available who Parker feels is worth playing for more than ten minutes.

But we did score and a good goal at that. We also missed a header and a one on one.

Yes, you're right. Terrible decision, should have had the three points thinking about it now. We were definitely the better side, can't remember Trafford having much to do.

Sgt. Pepper

Ah well, looks like another draw. A point away at the team who will go fifth isn't a bad result. Not sure if we had anything on the bench that would have made much difference. We were definitely better tonight, without ever really looking like scoring. By all accounts we turned down £25 million for ...

Sgt. Pepper

Millwall are no mugs, they'll be seventh if they beat us. We are nowhere near good enough to think we can pitch up at their place and help ourselves to three points. We're a centre forward short (possibly two to be honest), and Parker does seem to have a very defensive mindset. Interesting to see wh...

Sgt. Pepper

That's been coming to be honest. They looked dangerous from set pieces in the last ten minutes of the first half. We don't look like scoring, but I'm not seeing much on the bench either. It's not really being behind that's the issue it's that we really don't look like we've got a goal anywhere in th...

Sgt. Pepper

Lucky to go in at 0-0.
Cullen off at halftime. Unfortunately their tactics are rendering him completely ineffective, and he isn't really physical enough to compete with them on their terms.
Possibly Hannibal on, but in a game like this he's a red card waiting to happen.

Sgt. Pepper

Was a season ticket holder for 10+ years but don't get to too many games these days, as I live in the Midlands, and work etc. gets in the way. Went on today and must admit I was a bit surprised by the booing at full time, thought some of it was aimed at the ref. On another day we could have scored t...

Sgt. Pepper

Not that many positives today, apart from the fact that Esteve looks like he will be a fantastic player. I'll be surprised if doesn't end up as a full international for France.

Sgt. Pepper

A classic Heckingbottom footballing performance.
He's a very difficult man to like.

Sgt. Pepper

Preston closing down well, defending superbly, and Koleosho/Anthony being well managed.
We really don't look like scoring.
Tough watch so far, it would be nice to see some changes that make it look like we're pushing for a win rather than settling for a point.

Sgt. Pepper

Esteve basically covering for the rest of the back four, and Foster offering virtually nothing.
Hannibal off for Flemming, and Jay on for Foster. Also don't like Egan-Riley at CB, with Humphreys at RB.

Sgt. Pepper

One of Hannibal/Brownhill/Cullen off and Flemming on.
We could do with a bit more of a threat coming from midfield now that we're one down.

Sgt. Pepper

Only real chance of the game to Portsmouth.
A fairly lethargic and nondescript performance from us so far.

Sgt. Pepper

All the intensity of a preseason friendly.
More drinks than Wetherspoons on a Friday night.

Sgt. Pepper

Three points away at Leeds is a fantastic result, no matter how you get it. Understandably we're looking tired after putting in such a shift. Lots of positives (especially Flemming and Trafford), and a few negatives (Worrall looks a bit limited, Laurent is a squad player at best, and Humphreys has h...

Sgt. Pepper

And now Humphreys overplaying it.
Cullen will hopefully make a difference.

Sgt. Pepper

Trying to pass out from the back and lucky to get away with it.
There is a time where it's completely acceptable to lump it down to the other end of the pitch.

Sgt. Pepper

Hannibal has been poor second half. He was first to the ball there and just let the Leeds player take it off him.

Sgt. Pepper

All Leeds. Only feels like a matter of time before they score. Hopefully we can just ride out the next few minutes.

Sgt. Pepper

Hannibal and Worrall both a significant risk of not seeing out the ninety minutes.

Sgt. Pepper

Ended up getting tea and coffee for free.
They weren't showing up on the ordering system. Asked staff behind the counter how to order them, someone (I assume with some vague authority) said to just give them to us.
Calling it shambolic is too kind.

Sgt. Pepper

Vitinho gone to Botafogo.

Sgt. Pepper

Just watching the highlights. City's second goal, awful. City's third goal, not great. Looked all over the place on a couple of other occasions. Difficult to judge against City, especially when Haaland's playing, because he terrorises poor defences, but bless him he looks like he could be in for a s...

Sgt. Pepper

They got incredibly lucky with the promotion season which papered over the cracks caused by buying a club with leveraged debt. The 'model' of ownership obviously involves trying to maximise the income from sale of assets (i.e.players) to service said debt now that guaranteed income has been lost fol...
