I am not going to this but I noticed the ticket price is adult £12 . £6 for u18's .
now that is what I call a good deal , shame other clubs don't follow Stoke's example . |

I think he would benefit from losing half a stone at least . He doesn't look dynamic enough for a man with a strongly built frame . Maybe some gym work - Plyometrics , short sharp sprints , medicine ball work / core strength work .... just a thought .
I don't know what it is but he seems to be a tad too timid and not aggressive enough
You expect a centre forward to have a bit more bite even his expression when subbed gives nothing away , there's like a lack of emotion there that kinda says ....oh well never mind. |

Now that does surprise me. Spain is not a country that you would traditionally think of as rugby loving . Basque country to a certain extent I could understand , yes ; as it has a very close proximity to Southern French clubs like Pau ,Tarbes , Beziers , Bagneres , Narbonne . |

Fulham have introduced a couple of very good youngsters into their squad . They are starting to look really menacing on the counter .Exciting times for them . Man City were desperate for the final whistle last night. |

Innoussa to me has flattered to deceive rather disappointing in his recent performances . He has to lose this "falling over business in the hope he is going to get a free kick.."
Refs are not buying it stay on your feet that way we have 11 players affecting the game. Also I am not 100 % certain he is match fit he seems to run out of steam.
1-1 [Post edited 1 Dec 21:04]

I know how down the fans are feeling but at the end today as the players came over to the fans there were some ugly exchanges , hand gestures , swearing . The players looked shocked and I don't think it is going to achieve anything. Morale must be through the floor and shameful scenes like that won't pick the players up. |

Take your point on London . An actress who has appeared on Bridgerton refuses to visit London anymore as she has been attacked twice recently while just walking along . Mobile phone thefts are through the roof as are muggings for expensive watches.Yesterday an armed gang ran through The Merry Hill shopping centre near Birmingham . One man attacked and stabbed. One of them was seen weilding a samurai sword ! This was at 5 pm in a crowded shopping centre !! |

Was watching the Oxford Ipswich game and the commentator asked Vaulks what has happened recently to change Oxfords fortunes. He replied that Rowatt had made them harder to beat - tightened up the defence . In fairness Ipswich didnt create much at all and their keeper was the busier. He also said they are playing with more confidence . Noticeably the winner was scored last night by Placheta one of our ex players a good breakaway goal when Ipswich were caught on the counter. Oxford will not be an easy game they are not the same team they were a few weeks ago. [Post edited 29 Nov 11:43]

Is it a coincidence that a manager who has had premier league experience as a player and a manager is tearing up the championship? I am referring obviously to Frank Lampard . He has had a player's perspective of what works and also from a manager's point of view . He has played alongside some of the biggest names in football and he has played under some of the biggest managerial names in football .
He has brought premier league standards to Coventry who went for the premiership experience because that is where they are aiming to be. We have Vitor Matos and I am hoping that some of that premier stardust has rubbed off on him . i know that Klopp is available on the hotline if advice is needed. i am sure that Matos will deliver given time.
One of the stand out things for Cov is the way that their goals are spread around the team Even without Hagi Wright their leading marks man they have Thomas Assante and now Ellis Simms banging them in . Victor Torp Jack Rudoni Mason Clarke and Sakamoto all know where the net is . Even the centre backs have contributed and the full backs Jay de Silva and Van Ewicjk are full of attacking intent. In short if someone isn't doing it there is always someone around who can . Confidence is high throughout their team and our man Matos will have to get some confidence back into the Swans if we are to be a force again . We will have to enlarge our pool of regular scorers . We can't just rely on Vip or Idah , that will mean more attack minded drills in training / shooting practices .
At the moment our opponents are defending deep and saying - You can't score past us . Millwall did it here and Derby last night . We had 75 % possession last night and lost !
That shows we are not exploiting the superiority in possession and must be doing something wrong in attack . Last night loose passing at crucial times did not help . We gave the ball away too cheaply in the final third , some times passing straight to the opposition -in short we were way below Championship standard . The final third is where it counts , that's where the goal is . Derby were quite content to watch us play pretty passes around at times when we were further up the field but it is an illusion . It looks great but utimately achieves nothing . As soon as we entered the last third the marking was far tighter and the gaps closed . We were clueless in in how to solve the conundrum .
This is where Matos will have to earn his corn and get us becoming a threat again. |
