    Parma, do you not think that there is a danger that players are being coached to try and become all things to all men? Are we asking them to do too much, which inturn can stifle natural abilities? I bring the case of the ''Wingback'' for example. A wide player being asked to defend and attack with equal competence. Expected to be fit enough to run the length of the pitch to create overlaps attacking, then retreat at break neck speed to defend. This is a simplification I know, but I have seen managers trying to mould players into something they are not. Asking attacking players to defend like defenders. Just to fit a philosophy or system. Therefore, is this the reason why we see many talented young players in this country, who show real flair and ability, fail to progress? Snake

    Thanks Parma, interesting read. I disagree, however, with the idea that any player can play the positional play philosophy, well. When Hughton was manager he was trying to implement a structured and some suggested, mature philosophy to the team. This involved the team moving up as one unit, maintaining possession and occupying the field of play. However, this philosophy, in my opinion, could not be implemented with the players at his disposal. Certain players fit philosophies better than others. I would say the same is happening with Farke now. However, what I am yet to hear/see is what the actual philosophy and, as such vision, that Farke has for the team. Is it a true Positional Play philosophy based on ball retention only, or does he see a progression to faster movement and less sluggish attacking intent? Your thoughts would be welcome. Snake

    The foul was a sure red card. If any of our players had committed the foul in reverse I could not have argued against a red card. The fouls is not even 30 yards out. He is a yard short of being level with the start of the D. Three or four paces and it would have been a penalty. How far out is too far for a red card? 22 Yard, 25 Yards, 30 yards? It is irrelevant as to who is ''Covering'' and whether they are quick enough to get back. That is a guess. The fact of the matter is that Oliviera was clear on goal, with only the goalkeeper between him and the goal, therefore he was denied a goalscoring opportunity. Red Card. There can not be any other interpretation of the rule. But obviously in this case the ref felt differently. Oh and just for the record I was a qualified referee. I do appreciate how hard it is, but the two big decisions Madley had, he got appallingly wrong. No excuse no matter what level it its at.

    Everything I have researched indicates there is no issue here. There is nothing in the rules to state you must have used all 3 subs in normal time, to be eligible to use the fourth in Extra Time. The only limitation is that no more than 3 subs are used in normal time. Shame http://services.pinkun.com/forums/pinkun-forums/cs/emoticons/emotion-6.gif Snake

    Italy on Sunday this week. After watching an excellent display midweek vs Chelsea, I am going for an AWAY WIN for ROMA at Torino. Derby day is going to be a battle and low scoring. Draw half- Draw Full, 0-0. Good luck all! Snake

    I am going to go for a PSV win away at Venlo. As for Norwich, Maddison to score anytime. Good luck everyone! Snake
  14. snake-eyes
    Mol Are you sure you mean St Etienne v Metz away win? Metz are 6/1 and are 20th in the league. St Etienne are 7th. Forgive me if I am being presumptuous, just though you might have miss typed? Snake

    Brilliant result guys! A great weekend all round!

    I agree Lincoln. I love Wes, and it''s great to have two really creative players in the side, but away from home I would have started Wildschutt on the right. Really it should have been either Wes or Maddison, not both. Especially when you know that Reading at home will have more of the possession and you are looking to counter attack. Snake

    Sorry LDC, but Husband is not playing well. Being caught out several times and his positioning, awareness is not good.
  20. snake-eyes
    Very poor from Jerome, but Gunn''s positioning wasn''t great either. Poor all round!

    It is pronounced Steepermann as in German, where there are the letters ie it is the second letter that is pronounced. If it is ei then it would be pronounced Stypermann. However if he keeps playing as well as he is, then it could easily become Superman! Snake

    Bundesliga 1 RB Leipzig v E Frankfurt HOME WIN I think a 2-0 win is on the cards for City this weekend. Jerome to score. Good luck all! Snake

    Crafty, I believe you are right when our original colours were blue and white. This was when our nickname was ''The Citizens'' or ''Cits''. However I believe the shirts were blue and white halves, not quarters. I may be wrong of course! Snake

    Exeter to beat Crewe please. I would have gone for city 2-1. Best of luck everyone! Snake
