[paddy]

So who's the cover for Painter during the next three matches then? (Does the ban include just league or both League n cup?)

Only 1 game surely...

As expected we are getting overrun in midfield. That is the trouble with 4-3-3 against 4-4-2, with three in midfield the winger (Noone) has to come back and compete. I would have picked Buckley for Harley at the start. But if we hold out and they bring on Dyer it will be even in the middle. That's not wrong from Gus, but it means we have to score.

Radio: we are not winning the second balls in midfield. They are a large side in midfield. Ideally, we should keep possession and let them chase shadows.

Lost.
I can't say I am surprised when I saw the team we put out. You cannot play 4-3-3 away against the better teams if they play four in midfield. Still we nearly got a draw we didn't deserve. I know Gus pulled Noone back, but he is not the greatest ball winner in the middle of the park.

Outwitted rather than outplayed. Liverpool scouts could be in for a surprise !

Phuck...!!!

 

[Weststander]

Leicester have been the best side we've played so far this season , money talks.

Exactly.
Keep throwing money at football relative to your league, and invariably you'll beat more-cheaply assembed teams. (Chelski & Man City).

Nothing to be ashamed of.

Gus project is for 2013, 2012 if lucky.

Hope the players & Gus don't go all out for Weds, and allow rested Leeds & CPFC to then rob us of VITAL LEAGUE POINTS.

Sven is no football genius. Just bought a load of prem players.

Only 1 game surely...

Well thats a relief....so just the pool game then?

 

[OzMike]

We lost a game, did you all think we would go a whole season unbeaten?
Lets hope we learn from this.
Long way to go yet.

Yup - rather lucky really.

 

[Cypriot-Seagull]

Quite, you still watching the Leeds game in the Woodman?

At the mo no one can really make it to the Leeds game but I will keep you posted mate if we do go.

 

[Fef]

Jeez, there's some miserable buggers calling in on the radio this afternoon.
We're just promoted, second in the table, huge potential, - and the doom and gloom merchants crawl out of the woodwork as soon as we lose one game.

It gets on my wick.

 

[Gus is god]

i dont like this money talk bollocks seems a reason for a defeat to me, if money talked they would have won more than 3 games this season.

We were just outplayed today, we missed a sitter at the end to make it 1-1 and if that had gone it we would have been what a result and money buys ya nothing

 

[Seagull kimchi]

Can't complain.

Carry on lads.

P.S. Can BBBW do the next match thread?

But to be fair,they have paid a lot of dosh to go up and watch it.

Sven is a good tactical coach. Both Sven and Gus had the same idea at the start of the second half. They scored and CMS missed.

What about our rotational squad? I thought there would be changes?

Apparently, Leciester played well, their best performance this season.

 

[tonymgc]

Not going to win them all, Hopefully we will learn from this & get six points from Leeds & Palarse.

 

[smudge]

Must be positive, great start & we had chances today even though under par. It's nice to know that there are people on here who know better than Gus, so no need to worry!

Chins up, onward & upward!

p.s. I knew dropping & smashing my Brighton mug pre game was a bad omen!

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

We are still 2nd!!

& who is top? is it just me or have Middlesbrough crept up from nowhere to be where they are now or what?
