With more teams employing set piece specialists it is more and more common for there to be blocking runs. (See city goal today - and every QPR corner on Saturday) It's officially illegal to intentionally impede the progress of an opposition player. But only if you move to do it I think. Think...

Is this taught when coaches do their badges? Football is so resistant to subs before half time even when something is not working. Mourinho is the only manager I can remember doing it regularly.

I think we might have found something these last couple of games out of necessity. Fry plays best as a centre of a 3. Jones and Engel both have the skills to play wing back. I would like to see. The back 5 that finished yesterday Hackney and Barlaser in front of them Azaz and Rogers as...

If we had 10m to spend in Jan (unlikely) how would you split it with regards to our needs? No names - just perm or loan - which positions? I'd be looking at a starting quality DM that can also pass. 4m - long term option to start alongside Hackney Starting quality young right back -...

I think Hackney is one of the most talented midfielders in the division. But I think he has been one of our major issues so far this season. When he first came into the team - he rarely got forward - did the simple things - tackled well and kept things ticking over. He has started to get...

One of the interesting things yesterday was that we stayed in formation and made no attempt at a set piece when we had a corner. Would be interesting if that is a analytics based decision. Has it been the same all pre-season?

Cannot believe how goalkeepers are being allowed to waste time at the moment. Both the game last night and the Wednesday game tonight - the keepers keep lying down after making simple catches. Three times here the keeper has taken 30 seconds to clear - hopefully one ref will blow for a free...

Interesting how he has managed to play himself into the team at Brighton. Reported that it is better at playing out from the back under pressure than Sanchez.

Thought some on here would be interested in how much worse walk up prices are in other leagues. We are in Madeira and have got tickets to see Maritimo vs Porto. Season ticket would have been 100 euros. Single match 60 euros. If they were playing home twice in the week we were here we would...

Live in Sheffield. Thought it would be good to watch Wednesday vs Newcastle later - they won't let me buy tickets because I might be a Newcastle fan. It is ridiculous that football fans are so poorly behaved you can't just go watch a match at your local club because you cannot prove you are a...

I can't believe Gibson has forced Corberan to put two ex boro players on his coaching staff at West Brom. Morrison and Walsh... all you need to get a job is a Boro history...

Would recommend people watch the Maximo Park set from TRNSMT on iplayer. There were a few "Tee, Tee, Teessider" chants - but don't think you can hear them in the coverage. I would avoid The Strokes coverage unless you want to see Julian looking like Shane MacGowan. TRNSMT, 2022: Maximo...
