    Advice needed

    Don't they park by the megastore these days and walk past the front of the kop to go down the tunnel? Don't think they park on the south stand side of the kop anymore. Watch some of the recent inside matchday videos and that shows it, particularly the Bristol home game one.

    So @Neville Facking Bartosthis summer/season the recruitment team were responsible for signing the following:

    Hits - Bernard, Musaba*, Gassama*

    Maybe B Diaby, Pol V., Delgado, Vasquez, Danny Rohl + team

    Miss - Hendrick, Buckley, M. Diaby, Fletcher, James Xisco Munez + Team

    Loans are in italics and could be returned in January.

    Question is, would you trust the same team to improve the squad in January? If not - what would you expect the Chairman to do.

    Should he back his current coaching team and try to bring in their preferred recruitment staff which includes negotiating their release from other clubs, or stick with what he's got and trust them to sign a new keeper, LB/LWB, 2 Centre Mids and at least one  striker?

     

    Not disagreeing with the gist of this, but I think it is harsh to call Momo Diaby a 'miss'. I thought he looked pretty good / the standout player in the hour or so that he played before getting injured. Who knows, maybe if he hadn't got injured the season might've gone a bit differently.

    As has been said, the usual weaknesses rearing their ugly heads again last night.

    I don't buy into the 'low on confidence' theory. Players need to be extremely strong mentally. Anyone failing on this front should not be anywhere near the game.

    When your team concedes a goal, you double your efforts to put it right. You don't do a hand slap between team mates,  ala Valentin and Iorfa, immediately after 2-0.

    Thought, as decent a strike as the free kick was, Dawson still has to save it.

    Can't wait for 'throw-in of the month' for October...

    In real time, from behind the goal, I thought it took a deflection off of Bannan's head, which took it away from him. Although it doesn't seem so obvious when I've seen it on the highlights.

    Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse...

    Went to that game (was it a Sunday match?) the atmos outside was vile, I was in the queue at a burger van when this Manc started squaring up to me, I said I'm getting a chesseburger you daft t***" 😀

    Wasn't it the 94 league cup semi, so midweek? I was there with a lass I knew and her mum. Managed to keep out of the worst of it, but the Mancs didn't seem happy.

    It's still there in Law 12.

    Also says players should be cautioned for deliberately disrupting the restart of the game. 

    It's why keepers fall onto the floor after gathering the ball so they're not in a position to restart. 

    But that should technically still count towards the 6 seconds though. As you say, the law is still there it just isn't enforced. Even if going to the floor avoids a booking, they'd soon stop doing it if free kicks were awarded.
