Problem comes when teams and managers get obsessed with it ,, there’s a time and place for it no doubt but doing it to death is daft , watched spurs last night absolutely gift wrap a chance for city ( which they missed ) and put themselves under huge pressure needlessly time and again 

People should be banned from keeping cats , dirty filthy animals that crap in other peoples gardens 

I wouldn’t rule it out eddie ,, the man’s a modern god in my book 😀

Yes him or Ian evatt , both light years better than warne im told 

The game of his life where he made 2 saves? 
We were comfortable for about 89 minutes of that game. Let Santos have the ball for about 75 minutes knowing that he could do nothing with it.
Not sure what is lucky about scoring from a corner? Must be another modern football hipster concept.

I'm willing to accept Bolton are now the best team in League One

What? Oxford look completely comfortable here. Derby on the other hand were lucky Wildsmith had the game of his life and we scored late on from a corner.
We were poor against Bolton. And if we play like that every game in the Championship we will be relegated.

He’s still a lot taller than Les Green.

People who start threads that state no replies then reply to a post themselves.

Poss downside for wildsmith is his distribution and a bit of a blind spot for giving the ball straight to the opposition or putting our players under real pressure with short stuff , we got away with a lot because the level of finishing in league 1 was in the main quite poor , we would be punished far more for that in the championship 

Wish him all the best, he’s been a good servant of the club but he’s the top earner and at an age where he’s past his best.

Head over heart, Fury on points would be my guess too @Alph They're both technically gifted and natural fighters, but the height, reach and most critically, the weight advantage will surely be to much for even Usyk to overcome.
Assuming Fury turns up fit, I think he uses that huge reach advantage to keep Usyk on the outside most of the fight and uses his size and weight to smother Usyk anytime the Ukrainian manages to plant his feet. I think that's the percentage call, as while you'd love a stand up sort of fight (they are both wonderful technicians, after all), this has all the makings of a messy one instead.

Timing is everything , always happens when a certain leaning to most subjects is proved wrong , a bit like the ref that lets things go in a game but not even handedly ,,
anyway I’m sure this is now off topic and constitutes bickering so perhaps time to move on 
your the boss

The logic of controlling the ball from the back is all well and good and there is something to be said for drawing the opposition on to you to then suddenly going through the gears with snappy passing and bypassing them, and if your defence have the first touch of a Man City defender then all well and good but doing it at all costs in all situations is inviting trouble, particularly with a Champ/League 1 squad.
There is a perception that this is how football is played these days, and it may well be at the upper levels level, but you need every player to be calm and comfortable on the ball and their team mates to be mobile and creating space and actively wanting the ball. If nobody shows for the ball then a pass gets delayed and your defender gets closed down and mugged and you concede a goal and your defence and keeper look like chumps.
At this stage in the process of (hopefully) rebuilding a quality side, I would rather that we were pragmatic and mixed it up. If the opposition are all over us and closing us down and are forcing errors then sometimes you just have to be a bit cannier and mix it up with some balls down the channels or whatever. A high energy hard-pressing game is hard work and if that's what the opposition are doing then you should get more opportunities later but I don't see the point of playing to 'pure' football principles in every situation if the opposition are just going to force error after error because of the quality of their press and/or the limitations of your defenders. We'll face some ruthless forwards this year compared to last and you can't just constantly gift opportunities by over-playing.

It also mentions our "Thrashing" of Carlisle, and something about Carlisle being so bad, they've been relegated from L1 to The National League.
It was at this point I decided to put down my spliff, and go and find a dog to shampoo, so I could calm TF down!  🙄

Are you sure it was? 
Bear in mind that I read it all 
Was it suited to a different thread? Had it turned into bickering?
