Our problem is going to be the state of the pitch, it was dreadful yesterday and will only get worse over the next 4 or 5 weeks . The pitch should have been relaid in the summer, but Lemsagam chose the cheaper option of just reseeding.

I cannot remember O’Grady holding up the ball yesterday

Probably because he had to play a lone striker and our passing was woeful

And that’s exactly what he didn’t do when he came on.

That’s because benteke played to far away from him , when O’Grady won the ball he had no one to lay it of to

 slows us down and he's just not on the same wavelength as his teamates. 

That’s O’Grady’s role in the team  , which is to hold up the ball , slow down the play and stop midfield and defence being overrun.

Yes, but we didn’t.  However, no need to go overboard. 

 

Perspective. 

Not really going overboard, just making a general observation, but the lack of desire team to try and get the decisive goal is worrying , we needed someone to step up to the mark and stick their head in were it hurts and today no one was willing to do that

Crewe have lost 1 in 10 and sit second in the form table. 

 

We will win Tuesday and be 3 outside the play offs. 

 

Perspective. 

Had we decided to go for broke, instead of trying to defend ( time wasting cost us today) a 1-0 lead, we would have sat , 4 points off the play offs with a game in hand 

Just now, kowenicki said:

 

Do do you agree it is likely that we will win on Tuesday? 

It’s a game we should win by 2 or 3 goals, but we should have won today by 2 or 3 goals and not sure why we decided to sit deep in the second half . Hopefully the Lacovitti and Afolayan will be fit for Tuesday, which will give Scholes s few more options

Probably not his best game? He was utterly useless, only beaten in his uselessness by Bentecke.  

 

It was the attack that was the problem, not the midfield. Once those two clowns came on the midfield had no out and when the ball did go forward it just came straight back. 

 

 

That’s because we sat too deep and didn’t close them down and started hitting hopeful ball towards O’Grady and expecting him to win them , the state of the pitch also didn’t help, ... on this evidence Scholes has got his work cut out

So did Nepomuceno (at full back), Hunt wasn't great today. But he's spent an awful lot of time on the bench since being injured in December. 

 

I like Hunt but it's not the first time he's looked poor. 

I’m sure that 2 months on the naughty step hasn’t helped and neither has playing and did playing at right back when his natural position is on the left

O’Grady was dog turd today. Yes Branger wasn’t as effective as the last two games but there were quite a few worse than him today.

 

 

 

 

Probably not O’Grady’s best game, but we lost it (again) in midfield , we just can’t hold the ball and defence ends up getting swamped 

12 minutes ago, yarddog73 said:

O'Grady back to his usual shit self today as well.

See Chris O’Grady’s the scapegoat again, perhaps if branger decide to pass 1st time instead of f..king about, we would have to hang on by wasting time ?

That's probably why I've never heard of the cunt. 

It was a typing error should have said George Washington quite famous quote really , but I’m sure the British force he defeated at Princeton and Yorktown thought (as you suggest) that he was a c..t !

Ah, 1984. Great novel about totalitarianism and censorship. Wonder what he'd make of calls to ban someone from an internet forum in 2019 for calling a cunt a cunt. From his musings on swearing in Down And Out In Paris And London, I think that he would think it was bollocks. 

 

"Of its very nature swearing is as irrational as magic—indeed, it is a species of magic."

Orwell is not the only one with views the rights and wrongs of swearing . George Washington wrote “The foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing ... is a vice mean and low, without any temptation , that any man of sense and character detests and despises it”

Mad4it needs to stay in a dark room for a few days. Strange character. 

Yes very strange, I foolish believed that this was message board we’re fans could express their opinions and concerns , little did I expect the thought police to be so prevalent ... “it was a bright cold day in April , and the clocks were striking 13”

What the fuck are you talking about? Respect towards the club? Harry slagged me and Leeslover off (very, very obviously in jest) so we responded (very, very obviously in jest). Step away from the internet for a little while. 

Ooh aren’t we all gown up using all them grown up word, I would never dream of call anyone a c..t whether in jest or not ... thank goodness you’re longer on the trust

Can someone let Mad4it know that Jorvik is no longer a Trust representative? Developing a sense of humour wouldn't go amiss.

And developing a sense of respect for other supporters of the club and their opinions wouldn’t go amiss either

He’s not wrong. Neither are you. 

 

Cunt.  

What respect our trust representatives towards the club..

Anybody any idea wtf mad4it is going on about?

He's playing his game of Simple Simon Says.

No that simply really , but I’ll put in simple terms so you can understand . 1. Trust hold Q&A meeting with landlord   2. Landlord by the way we are selling the land for £6m. 3. Trust says funny you should say that my mate has got a spare £6m 4. Landlord so what does you mate expect to gain from this . 5 Trust nothing 

13 hours ago, rudemedic said:

The original value (they paid for it) was £3million not the £6million they are asking for. 

The North Stand and cost of building it wasn’t included in the original price, so that will take it close to the £6m they are asking .

My concern is that the trust had a meeting with brass bank on Monday and as if by magic they pull a rabbit (or rabbits) with a spare £6m to invest in the purchase of the the land - apparently, a rabbit that doesn’t expect a return on their investment - smell I little like Grimsby docks to me

That nice big tax hit the club took to keep Brassbank an inactive company. (Around the time the Clayton arms was demolished). The new stand that was strangely built after we got to the 5th round (+replay) in the cup and the player sales soon after. Plus 2 other games at 45000 Anfield. 

 

Lots of people lost money after 2008. Why should the Landlords be different just because they brought a football club and its land? 

Interesting enough, Sean Fielding recently announced that Oldham was releasing some of its green belt land , and some brown field land to Greater Manchester Coucil to enable the house build targets set by the government, so I’d say that the land now holds its orginal value .

As cup runs they have been few and far between over recent years , and any money generated from them would have gone to reduce the clubs debts ... think you’re mistaking blitz and gazal with the Glaziers at Man U ?

Sometimes cutting a loss is the best investment decision that can be made.

I agree that they will have made little or no money from their investments. People don't want to lose money but sometimes they do and then have to cut their losses.

Absolutely, but as the the economy has recovered, I guess the land is worth at least what they paid for it . The problem is that we are hearing rumours of mystery benefactors and (I for one) are suspicious of their intentions . The safety way to safeguard the future of the ground is to sell / buy the land in small plots, with the binding agreement that the land can’t be sold without the prior agreement of all the other plot / land owners .

You aren't entitled to get your money back whenever you 'invest' it. It all seems a bit weird that the landlords think this but forget the money they've had out of the club and its land already. 

What money ? Other than a couple of dozen houses, they haven’t had made a great deal. Can see how it’s weird, they landlords want to (at least ) break even on the money they invested - don’t know anyone that invests to lose money ?
