@fica @Jonathan Utah @Carl Drogo oof

All that hoopla about lookman he is savior of atalanta not because it is TRUE but because what gasp said he had to leave him whole game on and he did nothing I just hope that is not norm now because they sometimes play better with out him when he is trying to make it all about him

Match Report

I went to Whitby vs Worksop this afternoon. The attendance was 605. This is quite a big crowd for us and the stadium was lively with lots of banners and chants. We have made several new high-profile new signings lately and strengthened up the team in all areas except goalie. Which I feel has already made a difference, although it takes time for everything to gel live.

Firstly I thought we held up well to one of the strongest teams in the league. Worksop had most of the ball and were pushing up. They generated quite a few shots, but our defence was at least keeping them to more low-percentage shots. Shane Bland our goalie did good work as usual. A lesser goalie would have been defeated more often. We did have the odd shot but Worksop probably had 4 or 5:1.

There was a big penalty shout in the first few minutes which could have been given, actually everyone was cheering because they thought it had been given but it wasn't. Their goalie took our player's legs out sliding but the ref thought it was ok. It would have been a different game...

We held them off for 57 minutes, which was a lot better than I expected. The midfielders played deep and took some weight off the back line, it worked well. Not leaving any major gaps. Still a team of Worksop's calibre was always likely to score and they did so at 57 minutes. Our lads responded positively however. They wanted at least a point from this game. Actually our last manager Nathan Haslam was in the ground, as a visitor I think.

We equalised at 83 minutes after one of the best build-up chains I've seen Whitby do. It was text book, every run and pass accurate and penetrating and the shot was good so 1 - 1. Worksop switched up a gear though, swarmed up and overran our defence and scored at 93 and 94 minutes.

After a good impression after almost all of the game, the wheels came off under pressure in the last few minutes. Going in I fully expected us to lose this game, but

Whitby sink to 18th place with ten games left. This was also the first game this year without floodlights. Worksop are now second - 23 points behind Macclesfield lol. We go again in a week's time.

Champions League-level goal:



Edit: There's a bug or feature which means in a tweet there is just a few second clip, but when you click on it embedded, instead of playing the few second clip embedded, it opens a new tab and gives you the whole, much-longer video on Youtube. At least for me. I've mentioned it before on here but forgot it did it. So click on the tweet, it opens in a new tab, then click on the video in the tweet in the new tab, to just get the snippet.

@650lb Sumo Thanx for posting this^^^. Never thought I'd se actual Whitby footage on the tube.

anyway guys, I'll see you on the other side. I guess the update hiatus starts soon

 

[Arqueto]

Hopefully, this upgrade goes smoothly.

FA Cup Quarter Finals

Fulham vs Crystal Palace
Preston North End vs Aston Villa
Bournemouth vs Manchester City
Brighton and Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest / Ipswich

Nice draw for Villa, could be worth a bet on them winning it!

Not arsed at all to be honest. Didn't think we played too badly really but just wasn't arsed with it personally. Couldn't get motivated. Fairplay to Fulham. Amorim's subs were weird IMO. Take off our only midfielder with legs and the ability to tackle/be physical. And at the same time, take off a CB and replace him with a worse CB. Made no sense to me.

Squads just ridiculously thin, right now. Getting rid of Rahford and Antony was fine, but not bringing in bodies as replacements was incredibly risky.......then a week after the transfer deadline Mainoo, Martinez and Amad get injured and, shock horror, Shaw and Mount have setbacks in their recoveries.

It's actually incredible how poor the squad is now considering the money spent......and now about half of them are obsolete because we decided to appoint a manager who plays a different style, and we don't have any cash to bring him replacements.

Once Sociedad knock us out we're gonna find ourselves in a really odd position where we've got 3 months to go in the season but not a single meaningful match.

 

[FadeLess]

According to "Fichajes" Man United's board are already considering a move for Good Ebening, if they decide to part ways with Amorim.

Always waiting for the facts first, but so far it definitely looks like yet another muslim attack. Ramadan just started, meanwhile germans have their carnival (tough combination...), the car was a shitty old Ford, cars have been the weapon of choice lately.

My money is on that we will find out in a few hours that he's a muslim, a few days later we will find out that he was already rejected, known by the police but still free etc.

Also demonstration against the right lol...

Mannheim... Any (real) germans there nowadays?

After knives we should ban cars now too - that will solve the problem innit. The climate Taliban aka Green party would approve

The "Demo gegen Rechts" the other month there somehow was 100% white, though.
