Re: BFTG - Leeds

(Blackman's) one of the worst players to be consistently played by us in a long time. So far this season he has scored 1 goal in 395 minutes of action. That's oxf*rd terrible whatever way you look at it. Although - until ALF scored today - no-one else in the team had scored a goal in the previous 4...

Re: back in the car from the Brighton (H) game

A mediocre game made worse by the Ref's lack of common-sense. He came close to losing control of the game during the later part of the first half. I assumed the booing at the end was for him! Well we wanted POG to show some passion and get stuck in ... !!! I thought he was showing more intent and wo...

Re: Oh man - Back From The Game

Taylor - Only had 3 saves to make (I think) but let 2 in! I don't really think he could have been expected to save those two though Griffin - OK without doing much Morrison - MOTM without doing much but he looked assured (apart from one stupid error) and won everything in the air. Had one great run ...

Re: Reading vs Oman?

The result doesn't really bother me at all. I just wanted to know if we looked broken after the departure of 2 top players. It bothers me. Come on we can't even score against Oman, oxf*rd that's a big worry. Our first team has only failed to score in one competitive match out of five. Or - put anot...

Hardly - we were 2-0 up at this stage at that play-off!


Goal scored by Darren Pratley who played for Swansea in the last one and the club Bolton who beat us in the first one.

And that would be 'Play-Offs' not 'Play-Off's' anyway!

Re: Reading eyeing up move for Thomas Hitzlsperger

But we also need an attacking midfielder........ We need some German discipline in our squad! Were you not at the game on Saturday? Danny Williams, German born attacking midfielder, made a very impressive debut and could easily have scored. ^ this Williams came on for HRK and certainly looked an ex...

Re: BFTG - Ipswich

All players make mistakes and no player was error-free on Saturday. If we have a dislike for a particular player we tend to remember those mistakes. If we like a player we tend to remember their good work and scrub out the mistakes against that. I don't particularly like Guthrie's attitude over his ...

Re: too confident?

personally I don't like us being confident. I prefer not being confident. I like us being confident. I prefer not to be over-confident - or 'arrogant' as it can so easily become!

Re: BFTG Swansea

Bit concerned about their second goal, the throw in was a joke, I'm sure in competitive play that would be time wasting?! The problem was that none of our players were interested in receiving the ball from the throw. There was no-one to throw to!! No-one was supporting the thrower. The eventual thr...

Re: Pre-season friendlies

Look you bell ends, there's another game tomorrow. I admit, the scoreline is concerning, but we still haven't fielded our strongest XI yet, and no doubt we'll improve throughout the season as Adkins' tactics become more familiar with the players. I assume our strongest XI will be something like thi...

Why We Didn't .... Survive the Prem

I haven't seen this link posted elsewhere (but I'm sure I'll be told very quickly if it has!) but it's an interesting look at the strategies employed by newly promoted sides to hang onto their Premier League status.

Re: U 18 Final @ Fulham this Sunday

I agree with most of what has been said. Fulham deserved to win but both sides played well in an entertaining game. I liked their No 3 - small in stature but very quick and linked up with Dembele very well all game. He also kept our No 11 (who looked lively) in check. But we never looked like scorin...

Pointless

I'm an addict of the BBC quiz show 'Pointless'. Contestants were asked to identify 1 of 5 premier league football attackers today with the aim of choosing one who would be the least recognised. They were Rooney, Walcott. Zamora, Torres and - Pog!! The least recognised was - you guessed it - Pog with...

M Brook A home tie for us against a non Prem team and a couple of all Prem ties and, all of a sudden, we are in with a chance.
