  • Im surprised at how Northampton and now Shrewsbury appear happy to come to the Valley and primarily set up to sit back

    Our form here really says otherwise!!

    Have another drink...Hic!!
    Had to get up at 3.30 this morning, I think drink would finish me off!
    How are you staying awake watching this?
    With great difficulty. Maybe it’s an exciting match but I’m too knackered.

    We are slow and lazy....not a great blend.

    Great ball from Stockley to Washington, who holds the ball up on the right to allow people to get up. Cross in is blocked for a corner.

    Morgan on the right? I just don’t understand it.
    Very similar to the way Powell used to set up. One proper wide player, one centre mid pushed out wide to tuck in and provide stability in the middle. We used to have it with Jackson and Green/Waggy or Pritchard and Harriott/Kerkar. It makes sense, stops you getting caught out while allowing a good passer to get the ball in from wide positions or arrive late in the box. I think Pritch was third highest assist-maker one season 
    Curbs also would often set up in this way during our Prem days.

    One orthodox winger, and 3 CMs strung across the width of the midfield

    I remember Graeme Stuart was very effective as the 'wide CM'.

    I’d rather have Kevin Foley and Andrew Crofts in midfield than these 2 clowns. Our current pair make those two look quick

    Anyone else having trouble with the signal dropping?
    Unfortunately not.

    Most of our recent matches have been unbelievably dull

    Curbs did it after we first got relegated his best teams had Holland or Stuart on the right. 
    Yep, or Konchesky, who Curbs fancied as a centre mid more than a LB, or sometimes even Murphy on the left to accommodate Rommedahl

    Who is he fighting?
  • FFS... Keeper just gets a touch and stops Stockley heading into an empty net

    Great movement seems to be getting better, but we can't get a quick attack going , we are too slow backing up from midfield, and get overrun every time

    Moi, went into looking-at-my-phone mode a few minutes ago, missed Pratleys yellow... although thats more of a diagnostic device to check the stream is working correctly.

    Keeper gets a slight touch on the corner and it evades Stockley and Famewo and is then cleared.

    Has aged well so far 

    Draw
    0-0
    No pace in central midfield 
    No creativity in there either

    Shrewsbury come down our right, Chapman gets a free shot on the edge of the area, but shoots over.

    Morgan has a shot from the edge of the area, deflected for a corner.

    Get Brownie down in that dressing room at half time, worth a chat with Lee
