    Spot on mon ami.

    We have the makings of a decent squad looking at what I saw Saturday - but we spend too much time walking the ball into the net - the wide men did a decent job Saturday being honest but leaving foster on his own is a bad tactic - we need to get men running onto balls being delivered - also when it opens up for a shot from distance we tend to try and recycle the ball and go wide again for a repeat of the above scenario.

    I think you alluded to scoring goals and it could cost us eventually.

    I said in the rovers thread how dirty they were but a lot of that was because we had too much pace for their players to deal with and the result of that is a lot of pulling and late tackles - I guess what I’m saying is against other sides and not a brutal derby well may be afforded more space to go into and hence score more goals.

    Championship football is the read deal army88, every team has a chance and no bloody VAR interventions to deal with.

    What's the chance of a ticket for the Leeds game?

    Tickets are going to be tricky for me. I was going to take the girls to our home game v Pompey but couldn’t get three together.

    Got people offering me them in Leeds end but I went last time in the west stand and for all my sitting on hands I can’t help myself when we score or are near etc

    So
    I’m unsure if I’ll go this time tbh - I’ll find out this next few days.
