FYI I am thinking about reducing the match previews I put out each week. I am struggling to get the opportunity to do each week and take the time to find specific bits of data.

Things that will drop off will be top scorers, form and the talking points. The talking points in particular take a long time to research and review. Stuff that I can make automatically calculate or produce will remain.

One day maybe they'll come back - it's not goodbye forever but have a bit of a break.

Hope you all understand.

[plague]

We'll win.

[A.J.]

Is the premier still the spot for away games? Usually just watch at home or bowlo, thinking about a change of scenery

I normally do wests

[Jetmaster]

Fuxwits assuming Jair is a straight swap for Ronny and will be playmaker.

[MFKS]

So are we gonna sabotage ourselves tonight or will it be the ref or VAR that will **** us

Gypos blowing a 2-0 lead is more than enough for us for the weekend

[plague]

not even watching. my weekend is complete already thanks to the mighty Phoenix and Agent BK.

I'm on an ICE between Kassel n München. WiFi just came on. Saw the sCCuM details and lol'd.
"2-0...and you f***ed it up"

Ridenton in the middle, eh?
This will be a larf.

[foti68]

Ridenton is the new Jacob Pepper
He finds feet regularly the oppositions.
deadset i dont Know what Ernie sees in him

[StannyCFCJET]

If this is Ernie's tactics then he needs new input and ideas from the coaching staff

[plague]

Johnny K is getting away with far too many lucky/well timed challenges in the box.
you just know the poor bugger is gonna get burned on one of them...............prob in the 112th minute.

[Jetmaster]

Getting into great positions but gee we faff around with it.

[MFKS]

If this is Ernie's tactics then he needs new input and ideas from the coaching staff

Nothing wrong with his tactics

Execution by the players is another matter

Georgevski has had miles of room and whipped in 58655677 crosses this half. Every single one though was shit

Hoffman needs to get in the game as he been pretty anonymous

Going well

Still will find a way to **** this up though

[MFKS]

Johnny K knows exactly what he doing in the box

If anyone gonna cost us with a mis timed tackle in the box we know exactly which Nigel it will be AGAIN

Exactly crosses rnt working so try something else

[plague]

well at least he dived.

[The Dunster]

Jests are absolutely horrible. Dimi holds the ball when he should shoot and shoots when he should hold it up or pass.

Dimi is is the problem. Not Vargas.

[The Dunster]

Ridenton can pass the ball well. But he's easily pushed off the ball.

Dimi is is the problem. Not Vargas.

This is a fair shout. But they are both the problem
