Call me

but I fancy us to win 2-0, we've got a pretty decent record down there, and surely we've got to start scoring sometime, performances have been good in the main, we just lack the finishing touch currently.

We can all look at Tiger 76’s post tomorrow when England lose 8-42...... :) that's why we need to bat well, and not get complacent, a decent 1st session in the morning, and England should build a big lead, but lose 3/4 wickets in the morning, and SL are still in the game, surely even England can't ...

A quiz for the cricket followers, apparently there's been 122 players to represent England this century, some will probably be harder to remember than others.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/53352074

You do get 30 minutes, so you do have some thinking time if you're struggling for inspiration.

Pope Lowton Tarks Mee Pieters Brady Brownhill Westwood McNeil Wood Vydra Defence picks itself, and Robbie & Dwight are our most likely creative sparks, and as others have mentioned I like the little and large partnership up top, if Wood can win some aerial balls, then Vydra offers us a different thr...

Root batted superbly (as did Bairstow tbh) but how lucky was the skip when the review showed the LBW was going over by the width of a gnat's pube!!!? :shock: That's not luck that's a good review in my book. England have this game by the throat, however we need to ensure we bat well tomorrow, and am...

No way fulham will go down. My money is on Sheff U, West Brom and 1 of Palace Brighton and sadly us Can't see Palace getting dragged in, Newcastle on the other hand are dropping like a stone, and could find themselves in a 4 way battle with us, Brighton & Fulham for that last spot, the bottom 2 can...

Now Robbie was my MOTM last night but he did look like he ran out of gas as he gave it all . He got my vote as well, but perhaps the fact he played nearly a 100 minutes in the MKD game influenced Sean's thinking. Robbie has been one of our few bright sparks in an attacking sense this season, and to...

One win in 16 games. But at least they have their dignity.

They're welcome to their dignity, I'd rather be collecting points like we've been doing over the past 10 games.

Brighton actually gave them a game....something we are incapable of.

Maybe but they still came away with nothing, just as we did.

For all the talk about Brighton playing well, they can't win games, hence why they are trailing behind us having played more games.

tiger76

Despite Sterling missing a late penalty, City see it out 1-0, they made heavy weather of that though. Is that 1 win in 16 now for Brighton.

Now it's over to Spurs to do the business, and last night's defeat won't be too damaging.

tiger76

Just to confirm From early on last season I said I’d start Jay & Vyds just more my type of players but I also think that if you now drop Wood & Barnes and asked Jay & Vyds to do what they can’t and he’d play them until 80 plus mins they’ll likely fail too The way we play our forwards have to put in...

tiger76

Happy belated birthday CT, shame about the result, but hope you had a great day otherwise. :) And to echo others your hard work in creating and running this wonderful BFC resource and MB is appreciated by many, even though it doesn't always seem that way, I'll have to start actually browsing the web...

tiger76

You could argue they were fortunate with the deflection, but 2nd half they bossed the game, and on balance deserved to edge it. And if you know the opposition isn't offering a threat at the other end, which we weren't until the final few minutes, then 1 goal is always likely to win you the game. To ...

tiger76

I’d actually start Wood and Barnes But give Jay & Vyds half an hour Only after 4 half hours will either of them have match fitness and sharpness Wood & Barnes have been flogged and given all the responsibility, Jayrod back from a knock and Vydra have been underused and I would doubt that they are r...

tiger76

Something does have to change. Will Dyche make that change against West Ham away? I'm not so sure. How much longer do you give them to play themselves into form though? We're 18 games in now. 9 goals scored. Actually we're 16 games in, but your point is still valid, I thought the Wolves game would ...

tiger76

It aint the midfielders fault though is it. Clearly instructed to not go over the halfway line, especially against the big teams where we can't give even more space than we already do with a 2 man midfield. We are then so limited & get our wide players to move inside inside creating space for the f...

tiger76

In the opinion of many we leave our best two strikers on the bench but it’s not changing them on the hour that ******* most people off Jay might qualify as one of our best two strikers, I'd argue he's our most natural finisher, Vydra is a tough one to assess simply because we don't see very much of...

tiger76

Yes Pogba is on form right now, and if he can maintain these levels, then United have a great chance of lifting the title come may,

He did cost £90m though, so you'd expect him to dominate games in the PL, especially against the lesser lights.

tiger76

That's a pretty telling stat. Only 9 in 16 this season too. For us, conceding a goal pretty much puts paid to any chance of winning the game. Given that we've only netted 9 in 16 we've done remarkably well to post 16 points over that period, however most of the credit for that has to go down to the...

tiger76

At least Joelinton offers a bit of hold up play and stretching the defence. I couldn’t highlight one thing in that game (or even a touch of the ball) where I think wood contributed. I think it’s not even worth highlighting woods goal tally because we have effectively played with 10 men all season. ...

tiger76

I’m not sure there is a worse striker in the league right now than wood (who happens to be our most expensive player) Joeliton at Newcastle springs to mind, and he cost a lot more than Wood, I do agree we need to start Vydra at West Ham, whether that's with Barnes or Jay Rod I don't know, but tonig...

tiger76

Hang on a minute. This is whatever they said on Sky......43 million v 412 million expenditure. We’ve gone 70 minutes and just conceded to a good but deflected goal, to a team about to go top in the PL.Let’s not lose perspective eh? Exactly did anyone really think we'd play United off the park tonig...

tiger76

Shocking miss from Cavani, it's not just our strikers who miss sitters I see.

tiger76

Decent 1st half we've limited them to very little, and at times have posed a threat, set-pieces look our best bet as we suspected pre match. And for once we have options on the bench, which we can't often say. Whatever happens 2nd half we've made it tough for them, and that's all we can ask of the t...

If he stays fit Charlie will flourish back at Championship level.

tiger76

They got through in the end though, and have a decent looking draw in round 4, they might find it somewhat tougher in round 5 mind you.

tiger76

I can only see a defeat here TBH, if we limit it to 2-0 I'll be happy enough. What we don't want is to be on the end of a hiding that'll destroy our recent confidence.

tiger76

The Aussies showing their true colours again, well done to India in claiming a well deserved draw, I honestly thought they'd struggle to bat out the day, but they did so with relative ease. Sets us up nicely for the series finale at the Gabba, the Aussies haven't lost there since 1988, so if India c...

Your take on light syrup is an attempt to confuse us. I know your game. And I'm not having any of it.

Celtic 1 Hibs 1 yet more points spilled by Celtic, their hopes of retaining the title are between slim and none now. Rangers boast a 21 point lead, and Celtic only have 3 games in hand now, and on present form you wouldn't bank of them winning all those fixtures. I'll be surprised if Lennon is manag...

Didn't we beat Fulham in the "Capital Punishment" run in 2008

Yes and we also beat them 3-0 all the way back in 2003 after a replay, of course both those victories were at TM.

Our record at Craven Cottage isn't quite so impressive I sense.

tiger76

The Hammers making hard work of this tie, 0-0 just starting 2nd half, ET is a possibility at this rate.

tiger76

Two good draws if we are up for the cup. Fulham away isn't the most glamourous game, but get through that and we've got a great chance of making the last 8, the :?: is how much will SD want us to progress, we've avoided all the big boys for a change, so we should at least make an effort to keep our...

I see it as turning on a tap. You turn on the tap and water comes gushing out all over the place and you're like, "WTF!".. so you turn the tap off. We turned the tap on way way way too quickly last year and the place is now flooded. We needed to turn it on slowly. I don't disagree FF, however I sti...

Sad to report both day 3 and day 4 have been blighted by allegations of racism, it's not something we want to see in any sport let alone cricket. On a positive note good to see India calling it out immediately, and also the prompt response from the Australians, and the tough stance their taking agai...

Presume they should also stop filming tv programmes then? Scrap the soaps. Stop the news. I don’t understand the idea some people hold that football thinks that it is above the rules.

Good report as ever CT, this weekend has been when the lack of fans has really been felt, FA Cup 3rd round day is a great occasion for fans of the minnows in particular, and in the case of Chorley and Marine who knows when or if they'll reach this stage again. As for BFC after that scare both during...

Probably the one year i don't care if we win or lose, obviously great for the club if we win the FA Cup or at least have a good cup run but could you imagine being in the FA Cup final in May but not being allowed to attend or limited numbers and you don't get a ticket, would be gutting. I can under...

Might put their concentration more on the cup than the league?

Maybe but I doubt it, what it won't do is increase their fragile confidence, to require penalties to squeeze past League 2 opposition can't help their morale.

tiger76

Brighton through on pens eventually, they made hard work of that.

tiger76

From memory I think someone messed up and it allowed them to take the lead last year. It might even have (uncharacteristically) been Taylor? Up to then we were well in the game and still had a shout right up to the very end when we were inevitably chasing a goal. Against these teams your little err...

I know that some of the non-league footy clubs are considering aborting the season again, and annulling all promotion and relegation.

But I'm not aware of the PL or EFL calling a halt, doesn't mean it won't happen, but it would be a last resort.

The number of bad TV shows is far to long for me to list. Having read this thread there are many shows that I haven't seen and many more that I haven't even heard of. It just goes to show how different people are. One show I do like and feel guilty about is Inbetweeners. It's just not like me to wa...
