This is where any linked-up thinking crumbles.
Scale baby, Scale. The fixed costs are amortised over fewer routes so the landing fee has to rise to cover the fixed costs. To reduce the landing...
Pene are Pens can go either way
The subs were on another level, why was Rambo there if you are not going to use him the last 5 mins for pen. Wilson and Moore were gone for the last 20 mins?

Except Ange at Spurs aren't they all defensive?
Pep defensive starves you of the ball with 100's of lateral passes, it easier in FIFA mide of unlimited financial restrictions
Liverpool under...
I am different from you in results matter and a lot less negative of Bulut although I am indifferent to him. If you told me Steve Cooper is heading back to Ponty over the summer I'd get the bunting...
As a stalker of this forum rather than a main contributor it always strikes me how romanticised football talked about on here with a large cohort. It's a brutal professional sport where every person...
Wintle is a "6" a defensive midfielder in today's parlance, he is not an "8" a box-to-box CM in old money.
Ralls is an "8" and was a very good top end championship "8", but he is not as instantly...
Forgot how much i love direct football
I disagree with the notion that Bulut is a poor manager, he is an uninspiring, play-by-stats standard identikit modern manager. We are 11th with a pretty poor squad. Our best players are three...
I like wintle but its a 6 and two "10's" or two "8"s and a "10" a "6" and two "8" with full backs "inverting" into midfield is far too defensive.
Bowler will end up in L1, that season for...
Tanner needs to swap with Davies over the summer. He is physically nowhere near it and has to play games week after week
The centre halfs are too quick, strong or cute for our forwards and attacking midfielders, they can't move into space, make runs or win the physical battle.
The wingers until CO'D can't cross the...
Its been mooted that Everton may have to enter administration if they are relegated :wave:
Its hardly surprising we haven't got a L1 striker at the club let alone a championship one and the only championship winger is a second full back
My introduction to Ninian Park was in the 80's so County was the biggest game (boxing day), then the Wurzels and Rovers. It started to get tasty in the 90's in the dungeon era, but on a relatively...
I think there are local factors as well
I live in CF14, Ashton gate is closer !!!
If you live and work in Cardiff you rarely meet a jack or wurzel but my mates in Bridgend county to Neath you...
Also, you know the England-Wales rivalry, it is one-sided.
England in general for either football or rugby don't give a rats arse about beating little ole Wales. Its nice to beat us but we are not...
On a football club level it's reciprocal, but its deeper than that. This is about perceived injustices of "Cardiff gets everything" its a Swansea region grievance rather than just a Swansea City...
I have never really understood why at a Wales England rugger game there is pure and utter hatred aimed at England, It has taken a life of its own over the last thirty years. I believe Swansea has...
I have seen fatter racing pigeons than Ramsey but the top/photo makes him look like he is carrying a bit.....If that is the case then on me that would be a crime against humanity
If we released Etete over the off-season i'd be surprised if any L1 club picked him up. He is neither athletic or skillful enough for the championship. His best game was Rotherham home and they are...
Anyway the ref felt for him as he has given them every decision
I feel for him on a human level but if it is your tactic is to entice the attackers to press and wear them out then it can happen.
A Warnock team doesn't get caught like that
After 30 games in a new league, a different football culture I think he has got our midfield balance right.
We had no replacement for Ramsey's composure, he obviously adds more but we didn't-have...
Bulut builds off a stong (defensive) base, when the quality arrived O'Dowda and Rubes we looked different. Having a footballer at left back has helped the progression up the feild as the kid is...
