What?????? Surely he’d prefer a freezing wet Tuesday night playing s******** Wycombe’s, than a nice top flight game in Udine followed by a trip Trieste?

Yep. Also Wilson, Fornah, Sibley, Collins, Bird, Bradley and Ward all copped it. Seems odd, as I’m led to believe if you run round lots you can’t get a low score

Meant to comment on this and got sidetracked. I didn’t think to post this here and glad you did. It’s a magnificent documentary, as terrible as the subject matter is!

Indeed. I was always thought that Ukraines estimates would be over cooked a bit for propaganda. But we’ve got these claims by Matveev, Ukraines numbers, US numbers and the UK’s estimates for Nov were at 305,000. They’re all in a very similar ball park. If correct, we’re looking at the equivalent of the entire population of Nottingham being completely wiped out………..everybody! The last few weeks have seen Russia’s daily losses accelerate to anywhere from 850 to 1200 per day. Today alone Ukraine are claiming 1250 Russian losses. The stories and video coming out of Avdiivka are horrific. Russia is sending human meat waves that are being cut down and left where they fell. Day by day the Russian bodies accumulate in certain areas of heavy fighting. With this in mind, I’m not sure if there is any Russian revolt on the horizon. They’ve endured this for so long and not snapped, why would they suddenly change? There’s also the problem of Russian soldiers being gunned down by their own commanders if they try to desert/don’t follow orders.

Interesting slip by Putin this week. A lot of ridicule has been placed upon Ukraines estimates of Russian losses being way too high, as of today they have it at 346,070. Russia had only ever admitted 6,000 loses. However, this weeks leaked US intel estimated that russian losses are at least 315,000. Two days later Putin attends a press conference where he delivers a variety of different troop numbers to state why Russia won’t need another mobilisation, however I doing this he seemingly gave away the number of losses Russia has suffered. Ian Matveev who is a Russian military analyst and can be found on Telegram by those that can speak/read Russian, calculated the losses at 363,000 which is above even Ukraine’s claims.

There’s a number of 3 and 4’s on the ratings thread 🤔

The ref wasn’t as bad as many are making out, peno decision aside. She made some mistakes but was fine for most of it. However we were dreadful and although it wasn’t a pen, we deserved to lose those two points with such a shoddy half hearted performance. Nelson was MoM and Barks was the first player to take up a decent position for a cross into the box. Other than that there are very few positives. On the above point, that’s the second game in a row we’ve put plenty of decent crosses into the box but no one gets into a dangerous position. If we are to persist with this then we really need a striker who knows where to be and take advantage, because there’s plenty of decent crosses, as opposed to earlier in the season.

Those soft stonewall pens are the ones that catch you out!

This. I don’t think either was a pen. But if your giving that one, then you’ve got to give the NML one!

Never a pen

JJ has struggled in this one since coming on

Wasn’t a pen there but should have been a corner

Brave from Nelson there. He’s been MoM

Get in Barks!

If we’re putting these crosses in as often as we do. We need a striker who’s going to be in the box when it’s delivered

JJ coming on

Wilson did well to cover after his mistake there

Good save from Cash there

Nelson’s holding that defence together at the moment

What on earth was that. Poor from Cash, Nelson rescues it and I’m not sure what Foz was up to

Everything just feels so casual

HT very poor. Not many positives to point to, maybe the defence still being solid with Nelson having a good game, Collins isnt vacating his position as much as last week and that’s about it. I’d swap Hourihane for Fornah at HT and give them a rollicking!

This lot are going to poohouse us if we don’t buck our ideas up
