I'm less interested in getting through in a pretty way and more concerned that if we make the same mistakes against a stronger side, be it in the next round or the league, we'll be punished properly. But Fabi and the players have both admitted there is room for improvement so I'm sure these issues are being addressed in training.
We're five games from Europe! Why is it surprising that some people regard it as important?
You need to calm down old fella.
"O'Reilly" now ranks alongside "Houghton" as phantom employees of the club.
I thought the club had also pointed out that they want a bit of meaningful silverware!

Ermm ............................ those are U21 fixtures, an entirely different kettle of fish.
Moder had quite a good run initially though without really setting the world alight.
Not many were setting the world alight at the time or have you forgotten the pile on about Potterball until very late in his tenure? He was no worse than most at the time. His injury totally f***ed him
By way of explanation.

It did, but I’m just saying he wasn’t that good to start with, so the whole he hasn’t had a chance and now is a potential good player is unlikely IMO.
It does for me - there was one sprint and tackle in particular v Man U at the end of last season he had no right to make.....
More surprising is seeing Dara O’Shea on there, who I’ve only ever viewed as a fairly plodding centre back for relegation threatened PL clubs.
If at any time the average pace of a sprint is published and Moder is up there, I will happily consider him one of the 6 fastest players in the league. Until then I'm going to consider these "top pace" charts as one of the most useless additions to the world of football stats.
Same with him as with Moder. In a game you make quite a few sprints and if you randomly happen to do your best ever sprint while the wind is on your side and whatnot, you could end up on this list, because the list is useless.
This isn't a thread about the paint pot trophy either; neither was my post. I was replying to a post about the League Cup (in which Moder might just get a game, although rather unlikely); the League Cup is a way into Europe, one which I hope we don't take lightly. I fail to see the point of making snide remarks about other competitions which some people enjoy but you apparently despise, but hey, if it makes you feel good .............................
