I think the penny might have finally dropped that if a team is packing the box and there is nothing on, we might as well have a go from distance. We’ve seen this consistently against Leeds, Newport, City and Blackpool. The result - three goals and some near misses. We have players like...
I thought Blackpool were excellent in the first half, defended their box really well and broke with numbers. Our second goal meant they had to come out and play and we punished the space on the transition more and more as the game went on. Could have been four or five in the end.
City drawing with Cheltenham, Sheffield United beating Plymouth by a single goal, Wolves beating Chorley with their only shot on target. It was exactly the same last round. It’s almost like smaller teams raise their game in the cup. I wonder if Nunez, Guadiola abd Wilder get the same shit ???.
Caciedo and the Poles from the U23 budget. I appreciate a lot of you have a weird expectation of an instant fix but we can’t compete with teams like Benfica for players like Nunez. The club has set it’s stall out. We are looking to sign young talent and develop it. Seems incredibly sensible to me
When we gave Villa a game away at Villa Park when we are a league one side was it because they were shit? When we drew 2-2 at Anfield, beat them 2-1 in ‘83 and 2-0 in ‘84 was it them not turning up? We’re those wins against Newcastle when we were in the Championship simply about the Toon having...
