He obviously didn’t mean to hit anyone with it and apologised immediately, but he does seem to have a habit of getting in bizarre situations. It’s only a few months since he was filmed have a weird exchange with Plymouth fans and players. I’m struggling to recall a manager ever booting a football in...

George Brown (Wednesday scorer) has a fair old story. Played junior football at the grassroots club I volunteer at and also a local private academy (UFCA). Never went through a professional club academy and only signed for Wednesday 12 months ago as an 18 yo. Rare these days. That’s his second goal ...

Wonder how much longer Will Still will last at Southampton.

His reputation seemed to have been built around something other than his actual achievements and it appears to be showing.

agreenwood

He did well for us for a few years on a small budget, but the football was hard to watch. When he finally got a bit more backing he seemed to struggle. Oddly he did better at clubs with relatively big budgets after he left us and struggled at clubs with smaller budgets. Cheltenham are probably the o...

He'll need to coax goals out of Füllkrug and Wilson and sort a defence that has shipped 13 in 5 games.

Having a decent defence and a counter attacking style is what Nuno does best.

agreenwood

I liked Anass and we can blame VK for the fact that he never kicked on after that first season if we like. Or we can say that VK plucked him out of relative obscurity for a modest fee, helped him find the best form of his career to date and helped him go to a World Cup. Perhaps Annas didn’t feature ...

Potter being sacked and Nuno taking over isn’t good news for anyone involved in a relegation scrap with West Ham.

agreenwood

Fair play to him for knowing something about the club.

Is he still wondering why Amdouni isn’t playing?

Depends where you sit in there....

I was at the back with a support pillar obscuring my view of the middle of the pitch

There’s comments on this (and other) threads that make you realise that people are just waiting for a bad result to pounce on Parker. It’s generally accepted that Parker and the squad have done well so far this season in spite of a tough set of opening fixtures. One poor performance from the reserve...

Having sat in the Bob Lord for the first time in years last night and been reminded how crap it is, it surely can’t be long before we see some plans to replace it.

agreenwood

Oh and the irony of someone written off after a couple of fleeting appearances last season being touted as a better option (at a higher level) than a lad being written off after two games this season, is not lost on me.

agreenwood

I’m not convinced there was a lack of effort. We just looked like a side with little chemistry, that’d be thrown together for the dual purpose of getting some minutes in legs and resting the starting XI. It was emphasised with there being a few square pegs in round holes as the game progressed. I’m ...

agreenwood

Thought Broja did ok.

He’s coming back from a long term injury. It’s madness to write him off after about 120 minutes of football.

agreenwood

That's what I was thinking the minute we signed him. I thought surely you have to have something on your CV to warrant £20m, or however much it was, , other than "grew up with the Chelsea Academy " and "get injured a lot". Seems not. Hell of a take after 90 mins of football following a long term in...

agreenwood

Some proper oddballs in the Bob Lord tonight.

Poor performances across pitch, but Edwards being singled out for the abuse.

He’s been poor, but he’s also produced the only bit of quality we’ve see so far.

agreenwood

Let’s not speculate about how/why he died.

For now it’s sufficient to acknowledge how very sad this is.

agreenwood

I can’t have been the only one who chuckled when I saw Wilder had lost his first game back?

agreenwood

Think a little bit of luck of the draw with timing/fixtures can make a big difference over the course of a season, e.g. if you get to play an out-of-sorts Wolves or West Ham at a time when confidence is low and prior to a change in form (normally due to a managerial change) then it gets points on t...

The actual image of the incident is a little clearer. It is close, but on second viewing last night, I changed my initial thought and said it was onside.

So the problem may just been the shite AI images they are releasing.

agreenwood

I feel sick going on a playground swing these days.

agreenwood

Yes, I don’t really understand it either. His shirt sleeve/bicep appears to be closer to the goal than the defenders foot and I thought that was why Foster had been penalised. Then again, they said they’d released the wrong image for Foster’s goal, so **** knows. This all feels far more convoluted t...

agreenwood

Yeah, it looked chaotic as I was walking down to the ground. The club have made a rod for their own back with this. Closing Harry Potts Way is fine. Other than the football club, there’s not really much on it. Trying to close a half-mile stretch of road to all-but those who require access, when that...

Sad news. No age at all.

RIP.

Fantastic effort. Is that the 3rd time he's hit the woodwork for us?

Was thinking that.

Hit the posts vs both Sunderland and Derby.

Small sample size, but recruitment in general is currently looking as spot on this summer as I can ever remember.

agreenwood

I think this one has been cleared up in this thread. There was no offence and the goal rightly stood. What do the rules say about where a player can’t stand from a PK? Presumably they at least need to be behind the ball? Appreciate there’s no major advantage if you can’t touch the ball from a saved...

agreenwood

Will be interesting to see what happens. They’ve made squad changes which have probably left them with a non-Wilder type of group. Will they allow him a window in Jan if things aren’t going well? Not sure. They certainly be hoping he spends it more wisely than the £10m+ they spent on Cannon last Ja...

agreenwood

They weren't as good as us or Leeds, don't think it was them not turning up. As for Sunderland, the one they won they were fortunate to win although they probably should have got something when they were beaten at the SOL and they definitely should have won at Wembley. But good appointment or not t...

agreenwood

Sensible decision, they had one awful week and a bad 20 minutes at Wembley - it was bonkers to sack him in the first place. There’s some truth in that, but in the 7 games they played against Sunderland, Leeds & us, they won one and lost six. It wasn’t just a bad week. They didn’t turn up whenever t...

agreenwood

Wonder how long it’ll be before they remember why he was punted on the previous two occasions (and by Watford and Middlesborough inbetween). If Sheffield United havent improved considerably by January, what then? Does he get sacked again or are they now afraid to sack him for fear of looking even mo...

agreenwood

I wonder how long he’ll get there if this season turns into a relegation scrap.

There’s a bit of a narrative around him that League One is his ceiling and they spent the best part of £40m in the summer (third highest in the Championship and the highest net spend).

agreenwood

I said to my mate at Man U game that they’d get tubbed several times this season.

Their individual quality just about won the day against us, but they were very poor second half.

agreenwood

Bringing Wilder back for a third stint would be very odd. He did a good job overall last season, but let’s not forget he appeared to lose the plot towards the end of last season. From memory a lot of their fans thought he was at fault for their loss of form at the crucial point last season. Parker a...

That’s Garnacho being sent to Strasbourg in January.

Ings injured already for Sheff United?

agreenwood

Wonder if him signing will help boost their average attendances - currently just under 3k, which would be the 23rd best if
Al Shabab competed in League 2.

agreenwood

Fair play to him for finding what’s likely to be a huge contract. Many of us would do the same.

Hopefully he doesn’t come to regret it when he’s playing in front of a couple of thousand fans at Al-Shabab’s largely empty stadium.

Tuchel’s not going to be here past next summer and I suspect we’ll forget about him pretty quickly.

I think we can take online Albanian fan comments about a friendly game where a player is clearly playing his way back to fitness with a massive pinch of salt.

No. I think we should demand that a player who has barely played 90 mins in that last 6 months reach peak form immediately!

If regular Premier League football and a place in next summers World Cup squad was his objective, he needs to have a hard look at his agent (David Eyres), who spent the summer briefing the media about the tiniest of developments to keep the momentum on a move going.
