Think that day ended pretty even... 325...9 wickets... perhaps slightly in the Aus favour
Archer came out and done what a number 11 should do... throw the wood at it, but perhaps that is a bit underdoing the knock as he played some lovely shots. I think that is the best 10th wicket England partnership at the Gabba.... ever
But oh dear there was some poor shots there Brooks, Crawley, Smith, and Jack's... and a melt down from Stokes
But Root wash imperial... what a talent? I have been lucky enough to see some of the greats bat Tendulkar, Richards, Lara, Ponting etc ... but he must be the best English batter I have ever seen
Hopefully get another6 overs in tomorrow for a little moral victory, and perhaps hit 350... to at least make a fist of it |

Supporting this team should come with a health warning...........supporting this team could mentally harm you
From the heights of Hull..... and the tempo to this in just 7 days. Never even contemplated Blackburn ..but after that result braving the biblical weather here and greeted with this !!!
First 20 mins was like foosball pinging it about and 1-1 was perhaps the right score.as both teams were going hell for leather
Then 5 minutes of utter crapery has lost us this game..........What Sam was doing with that header is open to conjecture........and the OG is what it is.......... but the 3rd goal was the killer.........Unfortunately we won't come back from this
Guess we can say JS should have made changes........but we have all complained about major changes and how bad it is........so he don't make them, and this is what happens
OK we are bad.......but I still think we are on the sh!tty end of these 3 game weeks......and I though I'm not a conspiracist, I do think we are hard done by.
Most like we will have to write this one off........and it is more the frustrating that it is fcuking Norwich again............never forgive them for 1976...........
Let's not concede again and go again next week. Never been a advocate for an opponent team but their Mattson is ruling that mid field |

Think we are all looking at this in the wrong angle
Certainly not Infantino fault, he is just a lowly official trying to make the best of a bad situation
And certainly not Rono's fault, it was an h-armless (pun intended) coming together in a contact sport
It wasn't even Glenn Nyberg's fault... who did his level best to only issue a yellow... in the hope it would somehow show that Rono was not above the laws of the game
It was that dastardly VAR that is to blame ...Boekel obviously never got the email about upsetting Infantino's legacy...
I gather Boekel is officiating in the Albanian 7th tier now as reward for his bravery
I'm praying to all the gods that either of the first 2 teams that draw Portugal lodge a protest about this and threaten legal action or b as note previously, other teams lodge appeals against suspend players |

Though always love it when we win I really thought we were a little fortunate
Positives for me was the spirit. It was an atrocious day and we could have easily dropped our heads going behind twice, but we didn't and showed great spirit
Chair definitely had his best game for us this season and wouldn't disagree re MOTM... though I thought Varane had a really good game as well
The subs made a huge impact. Kolli was a real live wire, but I thought Morgan at RB was superb... made 3 or 4 really good challenges... and show good positioning very impressive
Negatives
I still would like us to.press more. We never seem to press as a unit. And against better teams we would be in real trouble
Kone looks totally lost out there. He desperately needs a goal.
But we won and that is all that matters really after our dismal run |

If truth be told I think we are fortunate to be level at half time
And that is not because of Hull's enterprise...........because they haven't had any...we are shocking
They have so much time on the ball......there was a passage mid way through the half where they were pinging passes about and we are standing off them watching.........even at a GK they play it to the keeper and Burrell and Kone are still outside the area admiring it...........
I really don't see any urgency in our play, there is no press and no commitment, and that is down to the management team........
I'm really starting to wonder about JS........... |

Well at least it will be back to shorts and t-shirt weather... nearly
Apparently we only have 1 injured player... everyone is available for selection... what is JS going to do with such an abundance of riches?
Think it will line up the same as SU...except RND starting for field
So result... win.. though possible draw... might even be a defeat
Oh sod it... 2-0 to us... Hamer from a long punt upfield... and Chair |

All out for less than 200 before tea.. Starc a 7 for.... Brook again deciding to fcuk it up like he did in the last India test
Know the old adage can't judge a wicket until both teams bat on it... but how the fcuk can we loose the ashes again in less than 2 sessions...
Waste of getting up early |

You young'uns don't know you're born
Driving in the dark... what is it with that... I remember having to pick up the old lads from the pit who said they don't like driving in the dark... and think soppy old tvvat... welcome to that club now
The joys of the separate bedroom... living in the house 3 daughters less.. we now have extra bedrooms.. now the joys of not only a bed where I'm no longer fighting for the duvet... no longer have 3" of bed... and being woke up by being slapped constantly .... I can luxuriate in a bed to myself
Thinking every lump, bump or mole is the big C ... that every new pain or ache is the big C ....
Watching one of my daughters come in and wince at the volume of the TV... even when we are both wearing our hearing aids
When we are invited out... and both looking at each other trying to think of an excuse why we need to get home... at 6.30 in the evening
Totally fed up of hearing family.. friends... that are now gone...
Looking out the window and seeing the young dad's out in the freezing rain and wind putting up and fighting Christmas/Halloween decs ..... perhaps that is a bonus |

Agree.... thought Madsen had a very quiet 1st half... but certainly came into the game more.. ..
And he is making a mockery of this 3 game week thing...... think has played every minute of the 3 games this week... can't remember him being subbed... but whatever.... he is certainly out best player at the moment this season |

And that is that...........
That will do very nicely......... after the disasters of the last few games a gritty 0-0 will be a real positive
The positive for me
Hamer.........he maybe not be the answer, but that defence looked so much more settled with him......he commands his box and made a couple of good save
The defence well Jimmy had his best game of the season........mad dog again not the RB answer but did well
Sam was magnificent.......had a tough job out there and did everything right........
Cook .........had a decent game
Another positive was Chair .....another who had his best game for us this season.......got through a mountain of work and covering at the back
The rest........just about decent really............
MOTM.......Hamer.........I really think he made the difference today....... |

That will do and I will be more than happy with another non event 45 mins ..........
So typical championship flog..........both teams without much flair or invention, but I will take that after our 4 defeats in 5 games
The defence as looked pretty solid, but United have not really pushed it. Jimmy looks a lot better at CB..........and mad dog careening up the wing looks ...well energetic at least
Hamer says a lot that a 37 year old that has not played a game for q8 months...as put in the most solid goalkeeping display of the season......sad state of affairs
Apart from that..........everything else for me pretty much a non event.
But happy with that......... |
