****The Official Lapps Match Thread v Birmingham (L/a) *****

[Jim Smith 2,317]

Great result in the end and great also to get into a habit of pinching games but we won that game despite a poor team selection not because of great tactics from the management team. Credit for the subs but how about we just get it right in the first place.

It's a tragically poor league that gets worse every season. That first half was abysmal from both teams.

We just need to do enough to win the games and then try and find £150m for next season 😉

Yes. being out of the PL is so awful. What's the betting we end up with another trophy. An open top bus parade. I wish we were Bournemouth. You could see by the faces, and the noise of our fans tonight how dreadful it all is.

If only it was that easy, eh?

Well it can be. I’m not sure any of us would have started with that line up tonight because we all watched the game on Saturday and had a pretty good idea that midfield would not work. And it didnt. Both of Dowell and Sinani away from home ain’t the answer and he needs to get Pukki into the side.

Perhaps finishing with your stronger side is sometimes a better tactic?

The team that scores more than the other team will more than likely win the game - Michael Owen. 

 

Hope that helps 😉 🤣

No need for the P.S. as you hadn't written anything before it..... 😏 Of course if you were PSing Dalys PS, it should have been P.P.S😀

Fixed it for you. 

So you are a non English emigrant that hates migration to the UK? Does your American-English dictionary have the word hypocrite in it?

Took me all of 15 seconds to find posts of yours that don’t contain full stops in the sentence. I think the lesson here is people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones 😂

[chicken 2,624]

Well now, this thread was interesting. A fair bit of positivity at the start. Then as time wore on and then we conceded a goal, the nay sayers thought they could smell their time was nigh again... only to have their moment snatched by Onel.

Some hung around to try and pick on scraps only for Sweary C to play wack-a-mole with them... 

Ahhh, midweek games under the startlingly dazzling floodlights...

A fine save by Ruddy from Nunez's free kick. Just unlucky it was inadvertently knocked back into the danger area than away or out for a corner.

Yeah i'd agree with this. Need to accommodate Pukki and also Cantwell in the starting line up. I still think Sinani is a bit part player as he just isnt reliable enough game to game. Its either all or nothing from him.

Keep moving the ball around and don't panic. When they're trying to speed things up they're making a mess of it. Keep moving them around and spaces will become more prevalent later on. Just don't concede anything stupid.

Can see a late winner like Sunderland here.

OK, maybe not..... that...... late!
