Great pass from Foz to put Wilson in but he took too long to decide what he was doing

Lovely cross from Sibs there, he’s got in a couple of times in that left channel

Results have been good, so not surprised he’s in contention. I think Evatt will win it, but I’m glad our manager is in the running, positive signs

Unlikely, Ukraine has been there and done that with Minsk agreements. It slowed Russia down for a few years, but didn’t stop them. Ukraine know they are in an existential fight for their existence. You can’t negotiate peace with people who refuse to accept your country’s existence. Thats not to say the path isn’t going to be easy. The supply of arms and funding that Ukraine depends on, looks to be hitting a sticky patch. F16’s should be coming online soon, but continued US support beyond that is looking iffy now with the GOP putting as many roadblocks in as possible. On the ground we seem to be hitting a stalemate/war of attrition. Ukraines counter offensive pretty much ground to a halt, as Russia launched their own counter offensives across the front line. The hottest part of the front is still Avdiivka with Russia launching waves of meat assaults like they did in Bakhmut. They are losing a staggering amount of men and equipment, yet they seem to keep finding more to throw at Ukraine’s defensive lines. One bright spot for Ukraine is on the banks of the Dnipro, Ukraine has been expanding a bridgehead there against all odds, which will attract Russia away from Avdiivka should they choose to stop Ukraines advances, if they don’t Ukraine could progress toward the coast, which would be very problematic for Russian supply lines. On Colonel MacGregor @Highgate has covered a lot of it. From what I do know, I’ve always found him a bizarre character, he was a big advocate of the war in Iraq and was given a big role in the planning by Rumsfeld. When it all fell apart he threw his colleagues under the bus, claimed it had little to do with him and tried to reinvent himself as an anti imperialism advocate, which is where his dalliance with Russia started. It amazes me that someone with such links to Russia was allowed to be appointed by Trump in a national security role. Trump had previously tried to appointment him as ambassador to Germany, but his derogatory outbursts about Muslims, the Holocaust and his desire to see Mexicans gunned down if they tried to cross the border to claim asylum in the US, put an end to that potential position. Yet he was somehow fine to be appointed as a senior Pentagon advisor. His final act was to have a big part in the planning of the c*** up that was the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Biden was the one that had to wear it, but the Trump administration had made a big mess of the decision. Other than all that, Im sure he’s a lovely chap 😳

Agreed. Although we know the downside to this is more game time for Collins.

Not the greatest game but a nice result. We’re starting to put a run of results together!

Booooooooom! Lovely goal great cross and finish.

Why we wait so long before swapping Collins out I’ll never know

Indeed they do. What also seems to be happening quite a bit is we keep churning out poor performances. Especially after we think we’ve turned a corner.

Had to deploy this gif too many times already this season!

Running away when the cops are about to kettle his fellow travelers…..the pride taxi was the cherry on the cake!

Very sad news. Always respected his enthusiasm and dedication for our club, especially his wildly optimistic transfer valuations. Best wishes to his family at a very difficult time.

Wilson in for Barks?

Good result against a top 6 team. What I liked about is today was the consistency. We tried to play the right way for the majority of the game and it worked well. Good performance from Collins, I’m not a fan at all, but credit where it’s due. Most of the team hit at least a 7 out of 10 with Barks being the only one to struggle. Standouts we’re Collins, NML, Bird, Cash and Foz. Also a nice, but also effective cameo from Wilson.

Wonderful work on the wing from Wilson puts Sibs in but his touch was far too heavy and the chance is gone

Like watching Igor 🤣

Sibs hits the bar from a tight angle

Nice work from Foz there

Megs and lovely cross from Wilson. Cash gets under the header and a great chance goes begging

Glorious through ball from Smith puts Barks in on the keeper and he skies it. Been one of those days for Barks

He meant to chest it as well

Wildsmith clearly knew what he was doing there 😳

Good ball from Barks there to give bird a chance but the shot is just wide
