Disagree. Sam Allardyce attributes a lot of his success at Bolton (where few can argue that he did not overachieve) to the medical and sports science he set up behind the first team. I think the infrastructure is crucial, and when we have our full squad fit, with the staff we have and our brand...
Maybe it was. Unlikely though really isn't it, when you look at our future with our new stadium, training ground and academy, things look pretty rosy to me... We're in no rush, clubs like West Bromwich Albion & Swansea are the blueprint: slow, steady and patience will pay off.
I went to Blackpool away last year; we got absolutely battered - I still have no idea how we managed to come out of that with a draw.
I went to Sheffield Wednesday away; we were terrible, no possession, no attacking threat (and that was before Barnes was sent off)
I went to Forest away; we did...
Certainly, and for sure I'd much rather loads of people 'followed' the blueprints of bands from the 60s-80s than the current crop of electropop, but again it's my personal preference. I personally do not understand the hype of JB, and wonder if it is the sheer contrast of his music within the...
As a disclaimer to what I posted (which I naively forgot to put, given a music discussion thread is much like an Xbox vs Playstation thread) I don't get into all the willy waving of music snobbery. I find the viewpoint of 'ohh this sound is far better than that sound' to be tedious and...
Agreed. There were an incredible amount of naff performances last year, but people have glossed over them. Given the majority of the players remain the same (with the majority of our best players currently injured), I'm amazed how many people are questioning Oscar and comparing him negatively to...
Here here. Although try not to get too mad about some of the residents on this board. The negativity can become overwhelming, but if you step back and look at all the comments holistically, it really is a loud minority.
Just like the Gus side (with relative strength considering injuries) beat Bristol City away last season yeah? Oh wait.. We didn't even have a shot in that game did we?
Many may have missed this article published by the BBC a few months ago, but it is an article into the statistics behind managerial changes. I won't give away the outcomes of the study, reading it may give teach some of the pondlife on this thread a couple of things...
The Wolves fans I know are angry with the club for getting rid of him; they believe that continuity would have won out over the course of the season, and that the disruption of changing manager ultimately sealed their fate.
But don't let that spoil your one sided viewpoint on the demise of...
I didn't watch the Yeovil game (listened), but I did watch the Forest game, and for me the problem in that game was that every time Barnes was given the ball, he lost it - so much so that he was subbed off for Barker when we were chasing the game. If you play with one up front and they keep...
Ffs why'd you have to remind me of that game/day..
But the point serves well, there's a hell of a lot of hyperbole and people being drama queens (no homo) on this board at the moment...
