Have you ever kicked a ball in your life, seriously ?  I thought you might have your weekly dig at Dan James, but it’s fun watching you make a total fool of yourself every week doing it. It was a perfectly timed ball from James and it was Solomon’s lack of control that took him wide. It was a terrible first touch from Solomon, and he should have put it in the net  before Piroe missed the open goal. There will only be you moaning about James on this forum because you’re probably the only one who’s never played at a decent level, and it shows. Still, it takes the spotlight off your mate Piroe with those two absolute shockers. Dan James fault is suppose ? 

I agree. Glad you’re here to moderate. Cheers.

One of those games where nothing went right and we got no luck.


Another game where we should have had a penalty, and you’d expect Piroe to slot those two chances. 


I also thought James could have given it to Solomon earlier but Solomon’s touch let him down. 


We made a lot of bad choices and sloppy passes.


Probably Tanakas worse game for us, and as usual Meslier should have done better for their goal. 

agree with all that. another day we score 4 or 5 easily

It’s easy to say when you’re way up in the stands or sat watching on telly , but the point is James played the percentage pass. The defender that was in between James and Solomon was not a hologram, it was an actual human being that you cannot pass a ball through. If James played the ball early to Solomon on the deck it would have been behind the defender and consequently slightly behind Solomon slowing him down. Ideally James could have played the ball over the top of the defender early, but then Solomon was controlling a ball with possibly his head, his chest or an awkward bouncing ball slowing him down. It’s also a lot harder pass to execute at speed. James eventually played the percentage ball, one on the deck, easier to control and not behind his team mate, right in front of the goal. The point is Solomon made a mess of it, and when he pulled it back to Piroe he missed the easiest chance of the season.  If either Solomon or Piroe had shown anything like the competence of James the ball would have been in the back of the net.  The ball ultimately ended up in the perfect and almost unmissable position, 6 yards out in front of an empty goal, so James part in it becomes absolutely irrelevant

Agree mate. But I did think Gruev was ok but him and Tanaka don’t seem to gel. We got bossed in midfield second half which was a real shock. It’s now 19 points dropped on early kickoff times… Farke needs to sort that fast as both next 2 away are early too and in London!! 

Aaronson is burnt out, he’s played far too many minutes, that’s why we needed a 10 in Jan. we also have nobody to step in for Piroe when he has a rare off day in front the of goal. 

But to put things in perspective it’s only first loss since November, we wouldn’t have gone on unbeaten. 

I still think we go up as champs but because of the owners big gamble in Jan it’s closer than it should be.. on their heads be it.
