Norwich! Home 👍🏻👍🏻I'll take that.
22 Sep 2016 08:49:38
tough game but at home! Will take that and there are at least 4 prem teams going out. MOT . we're going to Wembley. glass half full.
22 Sep 2016 09:07:55
Not the sexiest of ties and fairly tough, but I think we will be in a better place by then and more than capable of getting through if Monkey takes it seriously.
21 Sep 2016 22:07:57
At home to Norwich I'll take that.
21 Sep 2016 22:30:44
You clearly type quicker than me😂.
21 Sep 2016 22:42:31
Ask speedy peacock he'll confirm that for you.
22 Sep 2016 00:18:50
Hey lads. We're at home to Norwich!
22 Sep 2016 14:05:14
That's your best ever post Aussie!
21 Sep 2016 21:47:30
Hello lads, off subject, but the FIFA17 ratings has been released for Leeds United, to me they look pretty good, what do u guys think, if u care, and wgaf about the career potentials, what do u think they'll be.
21 Sep 2016 18:02:07
Looking forward to tonight's draw an easier team for the quarter finals and upsetting a premier league team in the semi-finals. Bermondsey does enjoy a good semi eh speedy.
21 Sep 2016 19:48:00
I think the next round is last 16.
21 Sep 2016 20:01:17
😌wex. Don't start what you can't finish!
21 Sep 2016 20:04:17
Your right notts getting ahead of myself 😊.
21 Sep 2016 21:11:51
Not the first time you've been premature wex I imagine :)
21 Sep 2016 21:50:06
Bermondsey tells you everything doesn't he speedy.
21 Sep 2016 17:00:49
Ok good result last night and some key players rested ahead of Saturday but we now face Ipswich. So do we put out the team that played last week or would anyone change anything? Bridcutt is reported as fit. Thoughts.?
21 Sep 2016 17:04:21
Bridcutt back in but otherwise same team as Cardiff. That is looking like our strongest 11 at the moment.
21 Sep 2016 19:33:55
I'd play roofe up front but otherwise yes.
21 Sep 2016 20:28:24
I'd give Silvestri a go too.
21 Sep 2016 16:57:35
Great to have Ipswich back on Saturday. Big MickMcCarthy. Wonder how long he will stay at Ipswich? His fifth season in a row. Do they ever come back? Leeds and Ipswich?
We trust in Monk but we had terrible result against Tractor boys last year. Remember 0-1 at home this time of year and a misery 1-2 defeat away.
Hope viking jansson can play and some great performance from Pablo and Sacko.
MOT the true DG.
21 Sep 2016 12:45:55
Its official!
GM now has a better win rate than the mighty DON!
Monk just under 55% win rate (6 from 11) , Don 53%.
I know Don was over loads more games, but point is just 8-9 days ago GM on verge (well possibly but who knows really) of being sacked and if we win on Sat he will have around a 58% win rate.
O'Leary was 50%, Larry 50%, wise 44% and Redders 40% to put in context (off Wiki so hope right) .
Last night again average in many ways but we have a plan/ way of playing which should only get better.
Agree with most of Mowatt comments, he has gone backwards and to me just doesn't look really fit at all. Wood/ Pablo came on and made a real impact, changed the game, good to see.
21 Sep 2016 13:53:54
Fantastic news, GM is our newly crowned greatest ever manager DG or are you stato in disguise?
21 Sep 2016 14:56:48
DG
Why did you fail to mention the win percentages of Hockaday and Milanic? They must be up there. Lol.
21 Sep 2016 15:03:57
I ain't as fat (yet? ) as Stato off the box Lucas, but you have just got to love facts, I mean we all have opinions on stuff which is great but 6 wins from 11 games is a fact that no-one can argue about, bit like Wood scoring 6 from 10.
You don't have to rate him but 6 from 10 games says a lot, no matter how they go in.
Just glad the moaners are in the background again (until our next loss anyway) , just hope we have a decent crowd and a win on Sat no matter how we play.
21 Sep 2016 20:30:31
I wouldn't get too excited yet, the only teams we have actually beaten in the league this season are the bottom two teams?
Hopefully we can kick on now, but the Don's record includes EVERY team they ever played in the league, not just a few at the bottom of the championship?
23 Sep 2016 08:25:45
You forget our win at Sheff Wed!
21 Sep 2016 12:45:32
could anyone enlighten me regarding 2016/ 17 membership cards. I have yet to receive mine, I will be needing to buy a air freshener hanger on Saturday after the Ipswich game and I want to ensure I receive my members discount.
21 Sep 2016 20:32:16
This seems a little strange that Cellino is offering a refund to season ticket holders if we finish lower than specified in the league and yet he's not actually issuing the season tickets to make a claim against?
Anyone else with this problem?
21 Sep 2016 09:00:59
So what if we are playing scrappy football. We are winning games and keeping clean sheets. Not so long ago we would all have jumped at that. From small acorns giant oaks grow. MOT.
21 Sep 2016 08:36:39
Whats happened to Mowatt. Have followed him through development squads where him and dawson bossed midfield. Back then we said all he needs is to add a bit of bite to his game and get more involved and he could have been our maìn playmaker. Since getting in first team he has stood still, not added anything to his game. I know he plays out of his favourite position a lot but that's no excuse. He has the talent to be a problem anywhere but still needs to get more involved. When you see what Pablo brings to no 10 position after a couple of games it makes me wonder why Mowatt has not claimed that position long ago. If Pablo was out wide he would still cause problems and create. Said this was Mowatts make or break season and its games like last nights that he needs to impress in and he is not. Shame because he is talented but at the moment not the player he could be.
21 Sep 2016 09:08:01
The kids got skill BigE, but for me he's not good enough and I think it's all down to lack of pace. He's got a cracking left foot and his free kicks have pulled us out of some sticky patches, but for him to play we have to put 5 in midfield so he can be carried. My opinion, but we lost out there when Everton come sniffing. I'd have rather lost him than Cook and Byram.
21 Sep 2016 09:36:18
Mowatt’s lack of pace has always been a flaw but this can be overcome with skill and stamina. Although he does have skill, I feel that his stamina over the past couple of seasons has deteriorated, or to be more specific, he seems to take longer than other players to build up his stamina following pre-season. Last night was an opportunity for him and although he was played out of position (he is not a winger) , I felt that his general play was laboured. The more tired he got the less accurate his passes came. Last week I had a disagreement with Danumwhite about the merits of Mowatt over Hernandez and although I take no pleasure in seeing Mowatt fail, it was clear to anyone who watched last night why Mowatt is not being considered as first choice for the No 10 role.
21 Sep 2016 10:14:50
Is it he knows his best position and yet his last 5 or so managers persist in playing him out wide.? Must affect his confidence and motivation?
21 Sep 2016 10:59:31
63 got to agree with notts. When murphy and mowatt played last season it was like watching paint dry, so many side and backward passes. If playing with lone striker, especially wood, no 10 needs to putting pressure on defence, spreading play to support striker. Scoring the odd wonder goal ain't enough. No 10 is the driving force, he ain't got the stamina to do it.
21 Sep 2016 11:02:52
Perhaps Northumberland but how does he change that opinion?
21 Sep 2016 11:40:37
Notts, I am starting to come around to your way of thinking. I didn't go last night or listen to the game but one of my lads went.
I asked him how Mowatt had played, his reply was, he did nothing really. (just about sums him up at the moment) . I'm starting to think my view of him is a bit biased as he was in the same class as one of my lads at school.
P. S. I'm not xenophobic, actually my wife is Swedish. Well she's got blond hair anyway! ;)
21 Sep 2016 13:31:16
No problem Danum.
21 Sep 2016 14:39:59
Take your comments respectfully Notts and BIGE, I struggle to see why managers/ coaches play players out of position. Mowatt was a player who impressed and not so long ago was more than coping with playing regularly in championship. Somethings gone wrong. Good players don't suddenly become poor without reason.
Roofe was bought because he scored goals playing in his natural position of striker, why play him out wide where he is not as effective? If we needed someone to play out wide left in a forward position we should have bought a player suited to that role.
It's great we are winning games, I hope it continues and MC let's the team and GM get on with things, .
21 Sep 2016 15:06:04
My take on Mowatt is identical to Notts but I'd also throw in the factor that purely in my opinion the game in the championship has gotten quicker and is too much to handle for some players. The pace has especially increased in midfield. With most coaches now adopting a 4231 the game is more compressed and physical in midfield which is making pace ever so important. This is why great hopes like Murphy can no longer cut it. League One is their standard where the pace is not as quick. Like Wood, this makes Mowatt a sub in this league. Shame but you can't teach athleticism. This is also why Byram and Cook got snapped up because they have those attributes. As for Mowatt future he has to knuckle down in training to have any chance otherwise he may have to ply his trade at a lower club.
21 Sep 2016 15:32:00
We seem to have gone from famine to feast with the number of players all preferring to play the No 10 role in Hernandez, Mowatt and Roofe. Totally agree that square pegs should not be put in round holes.
21 Sep 2016 08:22:17
Good to see that Wood has till got his pecker up.
21 Sep 2016 11:02:58
And who said comedy was dead?
21 Sep 2016 11:42:36
Ha!
Sorry Ox, that's only worth one Ha!
21 Sep 2016 00:12:13
Hey. Help
Anybody see the game can tell me
How did roofe and ant play? Did they look menacing?
How do defence look?
How was silv. Any improvement?
Happy for wood to be super sub if he keeps scoring. That's his place I reckon.
21 Sep 2016 09:52:31
I went to the game last night, we generally looked solid throughout the game but struggled to create chances as we missed the link between midfield and attack until Hernandez was introduced. Although Adam Pope and Noel Whelan waxed lyrical about Phillips in the No 10 role, I did not see a creative display but rather a hard working one (albeit a tad cumbersome) . Roofe is a very busy footballer but at times his effort does not match his output and maybe he is trying too hard to impress. Again a player who is doing a job for the team by playing on the wing (not a winger) but needs to have more confidence in himself and take on the shot when the opportunity presents. Roofe is a player who may take a season to settle into the pace of the Championship. Antonnson had very little to feed off however I felt he struggled in the lone striker role as he was bullied off the ball on more than one occasion. Although his movement is a nuisance to opposition defenders, I feel that he needs to partner to hold up the ball. Silvestre had limited moments of pressure but made a couple of saves however I still see a reluctance to catch the ball when being challenged, for more Green should remain our number one. Finally, Wood did ok when he came on, he was more physical than Antonnson and scored the goal. Don’t disagree that he is better coming off the bench however we do not have better to play the lone striker role at the moment.
21 Sep 2016 10:12:30
Good analysis as usual Notts.
MM.
21 Sep 2016 14:54:21
Thanks nots. Helps a lot.
