Can't believe the pundits' wetting themselves with excitement about them. They're 18th and without the points deductions they'd be a clear 4 points adrift of 17th and they're only achievement is being slightly less crap than Sheffield United and Burnley.
That first half was one of the poorest halves of football I've ever sat through. Two pretty poor sides with little imagination. We looked better after DCL's goal but seemed afraid to get at them during the last 15 minutes in case we let our lead slip. 3 valuable points is 3 valuable points, lets...
Went for Moshiri and Kenwright. Very tempted to add TapasTeets but the players can't be allowed to dodge it, there are other teams lower than us with (arguably) less quality who are at least showing some fight at the moment and our players aren't.
Definitely, I really don't want the Championship for financial reasons and the absolute bloody mess this shower have put us in, but for better football, no VAR, less bias and a league untouched by Masters' constant fingering it has some benefits.
Maybe so, but he had a squad of 12 which didn't included a right side combo with a combined age of 73. He also had a pretty good water to wine and fish and loaf to huge scran conversion rate, where our players couldn't convert a stone cold sitter into a goal unless it was into our own.
He's clearly a man who's got Richard Master's measure as well, as a man who'd need a calculator to work out how many points would need to be deducted from 10 to leave 6.
That's what's so ridiculous isn't it. Listening to that Kaveh character yesterday afternoon saying it's all in the "rule book". Well surely if such a rule book existed it should also state which sanctions are applicable to which 'crimes' and how they relate to different degrees of overspending...
Horrible performance today. Didn't think it was a bad idea to try DCL and Beto up front before I actually watched them there, all we had were two struggling strikers rather than one, playing next to each other with neither really appearing to know how to complement the other. Hard to believe...
