This is bleak. Closing the Popside to home fans rather than sticking half the Blackburn fans in the rain really helped the atmosphere didn’t it, Tom Mahon? Fml 2-0. It’s men against boys and even the senior players look lost. Not been impressed with Hughes in the slightest. it wasnt meant to help with the atmosphere, it was to cut costs - be more sustainable If wed opend the railway end then more stewards would and catering would have been needed He literally used atmosphere as an excuse at the fans forum in answer to my question. Don’t speak so firmly on things you weren’t there to experience in person Mat. Twitter highlights don’t tell the whole story.

Given the amount of money we piss away each month a couple of grand saved on stewards won’t even touch the sides.

This will end up doing more harm than good. Expose a load of kids and new signings to a pummelling. Nice one. Can't know that. It's what they make of it. It's a free hit and a game against a big club and players where they wouldn't expect any minutes, let alone a start. Surely that's better than not featuring or 5 mins, unless we get to double figures.... For the new lads, I would like to think they'll see the bigger picture and use it as an opportunity to build match fitness.

Feel for the young lads, but really not that impressed with Hughes 😬.

have you upgraded the remote? I can get the sky sports plus but the menu only has about 8 games to choose from when there should be about 20 I think that’s because you have t got the latest software. We had the same on Saturday but one TV now boosted (other box not working at all !) and have got all of the games.

Ben should save that IMO. No chance. The second one? He just lay down to his left and made it easy for Weimann, he should be standing up and make it hard as possible.

Anyone know how to find the game on Sky Sports via Virgin Media? Red button on channel 508 Done that and the "Info" button then gives a menu with 4 games listed, and a "More" option. That gives 5 more games, but jumps from Port Vale to Watford and no others. Crap.

Bet some are going to boo a bunch of children at half time aren't they.

I’m gonna watch Alien, as a warmup for watching Romulus at the weekend - does that count as it’s nearly half a century old now?

Second I thought he could maybe do a bit better but we had the wrong angle. He's usually very good 1v1. Getting difficult to keep track....

One positive. Lewis Bate is not in a leg brace 👍.
