Vital Champions League
I make it 15 left at home and 14 away.
Before tonight we were 8th on home form
17th on away form.
Not that many between now and January though which was the post i was referring to

Funny how you get a different view from behind the goal to watching side on with replays. I would have said Andrade was easily our most dangerous player, Payne lost the ball continually and I didn’t think Akinde won that many headers!Just got back, and not too disappointed with that. I would say 9/11 of our players had good matches, 1 was marshalled out by good defending and 1 never got an opportunity to show his strength.
Vickers looked good again, not much to do though.
Defence looked strong. We look most likely to do something when Toffolo and Eardley get forwards. Glad Connolly had a good game, I did think a game where we’re on top would suit him at CB. Also glad Shackell proved I have no idea what i’m on about as I questioned him a while back.
Morellos was fantastic. O’Connor should be in with a shout if NI squad if that’s his normal performances. Payne needs more in front of him but his running and general being a pain in the other teams ass is invaluable to us. Andrade was kept quiet by their RB who I thought was quite good.
Akinde was fantastic I thought, won most headers. For me his overall game is actually better than Walker’s. Walker is the better goal scorer but offers very little outside the box - and we’re struggling to get it into the box.
Stadium was good, worth the trip and thought their fans were decent (just the other end of the pitch to us). Heard Alan Long dealing with a couple of complaints which was good to hear.
Their goal seemed offside from where I was but i’ve been told that ifollow showed it onside. Not convinced though. Was told we should have had a penalty just before the goal too. In general the ref was appalling from my very biased view. Should have had a penalty from a corner in 2nd half but they just had to claim something and they would get the decision. Still waiting for that linesman to make a decision. He’d wait for the players to have already played on before he raised his flag. We were perhaps the better team overall.
They were quite average for this league from what i’ve seen. Other than their number 6 who was fantastic and their number 15 who kept Andrade quiet which is no easy feat. Can’t see them getting promoted with that team. Marquis is quite dramatic and didn’t seem a £2million striker.
Our fans I thought were fantastic other than drunken guy who was abusing their family stand but you always get that person. Great changing throughout the match.
Overall, enjoyable experience. A decent result considering what I would have expected start of the season. Just disappointing because on the day we could and should have perhaps won that.
Pretty well my thoughts - apart from Marquis being an odious show pony (how did he not get booked for shouting f-off at the ref several times, football needs to learn from rugby) and the non-committal lino, that summary was the total opposite of how it looked on iFollow.Funny how you get a different view from behind the goal to watching side on with replays.

Payne did lose the ball a lot. But he also did win it a lot. And battled and ran and pushed us 10 to 15 yards further up the pitch. He needs more movement in front of him though.Funny how you get a different view from behind the goal to watching side on with replays.

Sorry you're right...
... on that basis think it might be even more important from Feb- May!
Lincoln City nil is a habit we need to get out of fast, but with the squad available it looks difficult. Bolton won tonight and will be really up for it on Saturday, as Appleton said it could get worse before it gets better. Need to be on the front foot from the off on Saturday and get the crowd behind them.
If you swear at ref in Rugby union you're off, ask Dylan Hartley!Pretty well my thoughts - apart from Marquis being an odious show pony (how did he not get booked for shouting f-off at the ref several times, football needs to learn from rugby) and the non-committal lino, that summary was the total opposite of how it looked on iFollow.
There is, however, a lot of irony at large on here tonight.
But - 'we were better than that result' has become a constant theme recently. That needs dealing with before we become 'too good for relegation'.

I was with Pompy fans and they were saying the ref was giving us nothingJust got back, and not too disappointed with that. I would say 9/11 of our players had good matches, 1 was marshalled out by good defending and 1 never got an opportunity to show his strength.

I don’t see the point of Payne
Because the PL primadonnas would be squealing like little piggies about the injustice of it. Let's not forget who actually runs English football.Don’t know why football doesn’t have the balls to bring in this rule.
