    Our Foul Mouthed Fans

    I thought a group of our fans plumbed a new low on Saturday with chants about the officials and Fraser. Lads it is no fun listening to your potty mouth outpourings. It is not subtle it is cringeworthy. There are plenty of women and kids in that Stadium - should that be how they remember a...

    Well run businesses

    Generally well run business do well. Obviously exceptions but lets assume just as relevant to football. So Brighton & Brentford are exemplars , Watford & Southampton polar opposites. But where are we? Under Max & Jeff we knew what we were and were a popular club, partly due to Eddie. Now I just...

    Onfield Leadership

    Still seems lacking. Surely the team should be aware when opposition make a HT change and plan ahead. No one seemed to notice Mitoma slip on for Ferguson and take up a completely different role. Unmarked twice 2 easy goals!! Whose job is it to think ahead? The Captain? Cook, Billing, Christie...

    18 Corners!

    In 3 games and not a squeak from any of them. Predictable positioning predictable delivery. Think back to League One days - variety of both the height and pace of the cross and positioning - sometimes a near post flick on, sometimes the dummy and shot Now what will come first - a goal from a...

    What no Penalties!!

    A whole season without one - would this be a PL record? We all have our favourite "should have been's" - mine Bedernek at St Mary's - and we know The System ( The PL, Sky, Stockley Park) won't give us anything when they need Brave Bruno and the boys in next years Champions League so short of de...

    Arter, Ibe...have they disappeared?

    Seem to have slipped into oblivion this season. Have they played anytime, anywhere?

    Finishing!

    Was again poor last night. Billing, Gosling & Calum all had chances that should have been buried. Same with H Wilson v Tottenham. Those misses cost points. It is not new news either. Watch our strikers in pre match warm up - with a few exceptions generally poor. So next season get finishing...

    Last 4 signings

    MePham, Solanke, Kelly and Danjuma. Absolutely no impact on the season. Reason beyond most for our predicatament. Add Ibe and Fraser and it is little wonder we are where we are.

    Our Finishing

    Lets face facts - it is well below PL level. We see that in pre match warm up and in last few games: Cook - last min v Arsenal just has to hit target and its a replay - goes over Gosling - second half v Villa. just has to hit target - goes over Billing - two chances at far post in each half...

    Klopp

    Anyone notice he spent a good 10 mins in the pre match warm up focussing entirely on our players. Standing centre circle - his back to the Liverpool squad. Extraordinary attention to detail. Looking for what. Miscontrol? Weaker foot? GK’s kicking? I wonder what he was doing and to my memory...

    Are we still hungry?

    Watching Leicester on TV on Friday they were for 90 mins. And again tonight it seems Are we prepared to work that hard anymore. And if not why not?

    Opposition tactics - no spies needed!

    Based on last few games seems to set up against AFCB there are some essentials: 1. Patronise the ref. Remind him of injustices in last game he reffed against you, get your captain to treat him like a long lost blood relative and offer advice on all key decisions. Get 5 team mates to surround...

    Time to get behind the team

    I for one will be making some noise tonight. We have had some dreadful luck with injuries and some players are out of form. That happens. The fans can make a difference. We have luxuriated in the great times now each and everyone of us there tonight can make a difference. On your feet and...

    Our corners

    Predictable and easy to defend. Time to shake it up. Options: The near post flick on ( Willo/ Newson anyone?) The low driven ball with step over so effective in Championship days The fast low driven ball - only Rico capable? The by line triangle routine - remember Cookies goal at Villa? Time...

    Our goal celebration - new strategy

    It’s great our players celebrate like fans when we score but the failure to hold leads at Chelsea and now West Ham means we need a re think. Yes let the forwards Ron off to the fa s and celebrate. Give Begovic the role of getting the back 4/5 back into their own half lined up properly and with...

    Season Ticket scam - BEWARE!

    This morning a punter with a hard luck story turned up at the ticket office at the Vitality claiming to be me. They said they had lost their wallet with the season ticket in and had no identification other than somehow knowing my address and phone number. Sadly the gullible ticket desk fell for...

    Target man needed

    No kidding! All but City & Liverpool have them. Most have 2 they rotate , even Chelsea MU and Arsenal. We have no one. We are not Barcelona tho we might like to be. Yesterday showed yet again we struggle without one. No out ball, no one to aim at from throw ins or when keeper has it. So the...
