Reply | That Great Friday Feeling, moving on to Sunday
at 19:31 25 May 2024
I had a feeling Utd. would beat City. They've been partying all week. Going on about 4 League Wins in a Row. In truth they couldn't give a stuff about that. They are still smarting at being knocked out of The European Cup, unlukilly, by R Madrid. Going in as favourites today, they never got started. Just as Leeds are still smarting at not making the Top 2.
Hopefully an omen for us. Let's hope that Leeds believe all of the noise surrounding this Game, and finding themselves in for a shock when we outplay them.
If Che is fit, he should start. As game progresses, if RM feels the need to change, he uses only those used on Friday, plus Ross Stewart, ( If Ross is fit, he must be brought on at some stage )
Impressed with RM's talk during the build up. I'm quietly confident we'll Win. Make as much noise throughout the Game, as on Friday. Sing the Team Home  COYRS |

Thread | That Great Friday Feeling, moving on to Sunday
at 18:43 23 May 2024
Friday Night was amazing from both the Team, and supporters. The whole Club was lifted into a Magic Performance. It will be difficult to replicate that within the confines of Wembley.
The performances from the Team were all 7-10. Talk is that Che Adams will be back for Sunday, or is that just spin from RM.
McCarthy, KWP, Stephens, Downes, THB,Smallbone, Aribo, Armstrong, Brooks, Frazer, were all magnificent. Subs, Rothwell, Charles, Edozie,and particularly Manning made a difference when coming on.
To listen to all the pundits, they've got Leeds to Win. One, Danny Mills actually said " Leeds have got to be a Premier League side" WHY ? Leeds have only been in The Premier League 13 Seasons since 1992, whereas we've been in The Premier League 24 Seasons since 1992.
I no longer listen to or read the crap from Leeds backers.
Leeds will be a more difficult game, and they possess some good goal scorers. ( So Do We ), Prone to diving as if shot, if touched by an opponent, but hopefully VAR will sort them out.
I genuinely believe that if we can shut out the Leeds noise, just concentrate on our Game, we can do this.
Team Selection is straight forward. Our Team will improve with Che Adams back on. I fear for "Sicknote", Ross Stewart, but if we can get him on, it could change things up.
If Macca and the defence stand their ground, and Che and Ross don't play RM MUST Start with Friday's line up. As the game progresses, DO NOT bring on Bree, Mara, or Sulemana, as they will add NOTHING to The Team.
It's our ONE Shot at getting Promotion. Let's do this.

Reply | Should Russell Martin Put Out Another Reserve Side For Leeds United Trip
at 15:16 1 May 2024
We should put out a complete reserve side, with no first team players if possible. For us, the game, as was the game against Stoke, is totally irrelevant. As for Leeds, they have a miniscule chance of making 2nd Place. For that to happen, Ipswich must LOSE to Huddersfield, and Leeds beat us, going 2nd on goal difference above Ipswich. That ain't going to happen, but Farke must put out a strong side on the slim off chance that Ipswich lose. We owe nothing to anybody or any League. We must protect our First Team Players. { It would be a shame should any Leeds first team player pick up an injury, in their futile attempt to finish 2nd } As for our First Team, it must be as follows. Macca, KWP at Right Back, THB, and Jan Centre halves, with Manning at Left Back. ( He's Hobsons Choice, but was successful in the 25 game unbeaten run } I would pick Captain Jack, alongside Downes, as two to play in front of our back 4, to prevent attackers getting through, and cover any gaps created during the game. Two Midfield to be Joe Aribo, and Ryan Fraser. Arma could also drop back to make a strong attacking midfield. Up front, if the 'injured' Ross is still not fit, then Che Adams up front. Very able Subs to bring on if necessary, Rothwell, Brooks, Charles, and Smallbones, and possibly Edozie. These Players will WIN us The Play Offs. The problem is RM's Game Management. How many times has he subbed, and made our capabilities worse ? These Play Off Games are different to anything most of our squad will have gone through. RM's experience of winning The Play offs should stand us in good stead. These Games are 'Do or Die'. It's no good coming off at the end saying "But we had 60-70 % possession". Tippy Tappy, and Possession football means 'Rock All', if the other team has scored 5 Goals. The Players I've listed will win us the Play Offs. Now, as to our Opponents. 5th At the moment it's Norwich, a very dangerous Opponent. I;ve a sneaky that Birmingham will have a right go at beating them, to avoid relegation. In their efforts, the game could be drawn, leaving Norwich on 73 or74 Pts. WBA are at home to Preston, who went to the Beach weeks ago. I expect WBA to beat them and finish 5th with 75pts. Let's hope so anyway. Just keep our First Teamers Fit and Injury Free, and we'll do this In the meantime 'May 4th be with you' and have a happy May 26th |

For me, Mick was our greatest ever Player. yeh, I know he went to City, and even played for Pompey didn't he 
He's best summed up in an interview given in the dressing room after the 1976 Semi Final - " We've got here, now let's go on and bloody Win it" He did, and we did. |

Thread | And then there were 3, or are there ?
at 14:44 28 Mar 2024
Football returns tomorrow. RM states that we've already been written off, in the race for automatic promotion. The Fat Lady hasn't quite started singing yet, though she is loosening up her tonsils.
We need to ignore the noise surrounding the current top 3, and concentrate on our own games. It will definitely be a difficult ask to make the autos, but if RM applies the right team selections from the start, in every game, who knows where we'll end up.
Given the dreadful season last year, I didn't expect to be anywhere near the playoffs, let alone the autos, this season. Credit RM in getting us so far, where play offs at least, is within our reach.
We have around 9 Top Players that should start most games, or certainly the majority of them. KWP, THB, Bednarek, Flynn Downes, Stu Armstrong, Ryan Fraser, David Brooks, Adam Armstrong, and Che Adams.
Second tier Players, Joe Rothwell, Stephens, Aribo, Smallbone, Edoze, Charles, and Mara could always sub on to 'rest' the top players.
It's all to do with mindset. Play with an attacking intent. 80% Possession means 'rock all' if we don't score ONE more Goal than the opposition.
We need to start our strongest team v Middlesboro' and especially Ipswich, in our first two games back. Win these two games to send out a signal that there is a 4th Team in the fight for the autos.
Cut out giving away goals as we've done recently. Don't get caught with the ball when close to our Goal Area, affording the opposition an easy chance to score.
What will be will be. A nail biting season end is incoming. UTS |

Perhaps, on seeing the Team Selection, they sat shell shocked at the realisation they'd spent a fortune on Match Fees, Food, Travel, knowing they were going to get home very early next morning, only to see a Reserve Side put out. Just Saying Like. |

'Suicide Defending', as I've seen it called, is not just a problem for us. Chelsea gave an horrendous goal to Leeds last night, with the goalie tip tap passing in the goal area at a goal kick. A Leeds player took the ball from a Chelsea defender, and Leeds scored an easy goal.
Brighton were prone to 'Suicide Defending' under Potter a couple of seasons ago.
Similarly, Bazuna has gifted several goals to the opposition this season.
Try switching it up from time to time, and Hoof the K'in Ball upfield occasionally. { sorry, pass the ball forward, as I've also seen it called. It does work. The City Goalkeeper has been known to get an 'Assist' when playing long ball to his forwards, bypassing the midfield.} |

Thread | Does Nathan Jones have Mental Health Issues ?
at 10:13 6 Feb 2023
Just popped back for a look on the good ol' TUI Site. I agree with every Post on the need to be rid of Jones. Rasmus Ankerson has made a Big Mistake in appointing Jones as Ralph's replacement. It was done very quickly after Ralph left, suggesting that The Club had Jones lined up already. Really, - Really, - can you believe how we've been suckered into taking him on? Think of Ali Dia the 'Non' Footballer, then Jones is the 'Non' Manager.
SIX Defeats in 7 League Games is definitely Relegation form. Every time I hear him speak, it's 'I', 'Me' from him. He's telling us that his record is one of the best in Europe, FFS.
The Man is a Fraud. He has caused untold damage to our Club. If we don't 'Move him on' immediately, we will be relegated this season.
He has zero personality, ( Yes, I know that's not a prerequisite to being a good Manager ), and has obviously 'upset' quite a few Players and Staff. He is delusional at best, deranged at worst. He is clearly out of his depth as a Premier League Manager. Put him out of his, and our Misery, by sacking him today. We have a limited time, 17 Games, with some very difficult fixtures amongst those, to save our Premier League position. Mr Ankerson, do it today. |

No Point. Let's just concentrate on getting some points from our last 6 Games. Super League is not likely to bother us, any time soon. |

Nearing Return, GOOD NEWS. We need England’s Best Left Back, playing regularly in The First Team. If he can be utilised by Ralph, for the benefit of The Team, in another position, that’s good as well.
Just get him back playing. He will definitely make all the difference for us. |
