Couttes

I would be ecstatic if even a quarter of our fans realised that passing the ball sideways or backwards when there isn't a better option is the right thing to do.

The fact that they don't is depressing isn't it? Nobody can say I haven't tried! Pele knows I've tried....

And like that last 30 minutes you can retain possession 10 yards further forward. Why oh why does this make me a hoof it type of guy I don't know and since when playing sideways is playing with your head up I don't know. Coutts is at his best when he's pushing it into Duffy lafferty and freeman and looking for the return. He didn't do that for most of yesterday and wasn't at the races.

Then wilder had a chat, he pushed 10 yards further forward and pressed. glad wilder sees the same game as me

If some of you lot had been sat next to the bloke I had to suffer yesterday, there would have been an incident. Coutts got pilloried throughout. Wilder has lost it. Every mistake was something his wife could have done better. Even gerrit forrud had a few airings. The only time he shut up moaning was when we scored.

These words should be emblazoned across every home turnstyle, with random tests upon entry to check for understanding. Fail test = go home early

I thought Coutts was poor and lazy for the first hour yesterday. Wasn't looking for one twos and when a ball went out of play and a quick throw was on he didn't bother. Mostly dropped back in to play sideways and I wanted to kill him. Wilder had a chat around the 60 minute mark, Coutts pushed 10 yards further up and pressed high. He was fucking superb after that and everywhere.

Fleck on the other hand hasn't got a thread yet was mom by a country mile yesterday.

like for the fleck comment.. disagree about Coutts.. he always shows for the back 4

He didn't link the defence to the midfield as well as he normally does. It was slow and laboured for me. We all see the game differently and now I am some kind of good merchant.

Fair enough what you are saying people prefer different styles a paces of play, but I'm certain a majority can't understand why teams pass it backwards or keep possession deep etc. If people learnt how that type of football works it would be much more pleasant for them to watch, and for me to hear.

Well Mel does seem to remember the last game he went to, even if it was yesterday.

Who gives a shit if he misspelt a name? Fucking hell, this is probably why the forum has such a poor active members/active posters ratio. Everyone is shit scared of getting the piss ripped out of them for making posting errors.

The members/active posters ratio is similar on all forums. If it was much higher on here there'd be too much to keep up with. I'd say the activity level is quite ideal.

Taking the piss out of spelling and grammar mistakes is usually unnecessary, but when it comes to basics like what to post, what not to post and where to post I'm glad we do have the thread police. It's not hard to use a forum, yet so many seem to be incapable of doing it correctly or unwilling to take more than 5 seconds to feel their way around. Hopefully it makes people think before posting. If it puts off people who'll clutter the place with garbage then that's a good thing.

Sometimes posters will be unfairly driven away which is a shame but overall it's better for the greater good (THE GREATER GOOD).

When you play a team like Wimbledon who don't press you have to recycle the ball you're not going to pull them out of position to make the space. You have to probe and make triangles and that's the wilder way. Recycling has the ball with your cb without moving to space to receive it back it's pretty lazy stuff

Then you get people who come on here and say you don't know anything about football. It's the bladey way
