    You been living in Doha for the last 12 years? People have been criticising the choice to choose them and Qatar ever since it was announced.

    Qatar seems a thoroughly unsuitable place for a world cup due to its size alone let alone HR abuses.

    I'm actually on about all the celebrities and people in the public eye who have only just started their outpouring of disgust five minutes before the tournament begins

    The claim being made was we went direct against Wycombe. Now you're saying 600 passes were between the keeper and defence... so not direct. Thanks for agreeing with me.

    Now for the real facts. Hourihane had the 2nd most touches (99, 1 behind Chester), and McGoldrick had the 5th most with 71. Wildsmith had fewer touches than all other starters, and had fewer touches per minute than all of the subs too. 

    Your welcome

    803 touches of the ball in that Wycombe game. I(n the game before, Lincoln City, we had 838. If we were more direct in the Wycombe game (I don't believe we were), the evidence suggests we still knew how to retain the ball. In the recent Bristol Rovers game, under Warne, we had 463. I'm willing to bet all games since Warne took charge are fairly similar.

    We had 5 away games under Rosenior, winning 1 and drawing 2.
    Charlton - We were all over them, Collins hit the post at 0-0, and got done on the counter.
    Mansfield - We won (something we didn't do with Warne)
    Shrewsbury - One of those 
    Fleetwood - heroic defending, and a keeper who put in a performance of a lifetime stopped us from winning.
    Lincoln - Another game where a keeper put in a performance of a lifetime. Sloppy penalty given away early on cost us, and was the reason for us conceding the second (chasing an equaliser)

     

    600 of those passes probably between the keeper and defence when under no pressure whatsoever

    Fair play to Torquay. Excellent football in the second half.

    Derby County. The game management of the second half is an embarrassment to professional football. And the manager, my word. Why would you keep insisting on hoofing the football forward when you're down to ten men. Keep possession, tire out the opposition. Let them chase. 

    Disgusting.

    Not as embarrassing as your post
