If he goes, maybe the late goal is a dark blessing. Another “unlucky” 1-1 probably doesn’t move the needle but I think this may. Probably gonna give it Heitinga to the end of the season. Most likely brought in with one eye on that.

Worryingly I don’t think the players have downed tools.
Just no ability to keep or progress the ball at pace means we are constantly out of shape and the defensive distances are wrong as well.
If this keeps happening it’s no wonder individuals get disheartened constantly caught out of position

We’re easy to defend against and easy to attack against. It’s so poor and it’s embarrassing.

Villa’s ball progression through the lines only serves to illustrate how inept we are. You can see our players constantly looking over their shoulders and not being able to cover the angles. They just sit in their block and don’t move and we fail to trouble it.

There are currently 10 teams in League 1 who’ve played premier league football. That’s nearly half the league. Success and stability should never be taken for granted

A big facet of Brentford’s “success” under TF was a relentless physical pressure, keeping the ball alive and constantly asking questions of defences, both as individuals and collectively.

Tonight feels like an Ange watershed. Long rest, mostly full strength, time on the training pitch…no improvement.
Defensively vulnerable throughout & minimal threat. Same failings. No doubts now that someone else could get more from these players. Doesn’t fix underlying issues but improves results

A thought..do the analysts paid to identify opposition weaknesses, also analyse weaknesses in our own team? If they do, I wonder how that plays out in practice? It’s logical they’d say, here are the gaps, work out how to fix them…but does that undermine the coaching team and Ange particularly? #COYS

After a long time being an Ange optimist I’m really seeing the signs now that it may have run its course. We’re still doing the things badly we’ve always done badly under him, now the things that used to be done well are being done badly too. That’s unsustainable and the reverse of progress. #COYS

What is the Bluesky equivalent of “tweeting” something?
Skying? Blueing? There is obviously “posting” but that’s not specific to this site.
My suggestion…Sky, like “that’s a great idea, I’m gonna Sky that”
Thoughts?

The Fulham game feels like quite an important one for Ange and the squad. Home against a team we “should” beat after a tiring Thursday night. Does it further entrench the idea that we struggle to perform in these circumstances, or can we put together a strong showing & get a convincing result? #COYS

Greg Wallace being exposed as a bit of a wrong’un is definitely something I’ll be filing in the draw marked “things I could definitely see coming”

Love seeing the way the midfield are jumping with aggression and tenacity from the mid block to engage. Makes all the difference to how compact we are and our ability to counter. All of them are doing it but Sarr particularly. Impressive. #COYS

Those lineups smell of a high scoring game. Going to be interesting how he deploys Deki and Madders. I suspect he will go a bit narrower than usual and try and free Son up to make line breaking runs. #COYS
