That's such a poor goal to concede. We haven't deserved a win though, poor again and seriously lacking anything upfront. Only real positive note is Tonali's performance, surely can't be dropped for the next one. We need to be very careful or this team is going to get stuck in a rut.

Disappointing half of football. Never really looked like worrying them, still feels pretty disjointed after Monday. Injury breaks won't have helped but our levels dropped after the first 2 minutes.

There's a real lack of fluidity to us in attacking phases. We get so far and then it looks like everyone runs out of ideas. We have some really great, technical players in the team but not necessarily someone you would say is an out and out creator (a KDB type making the final pass)

Anytime you watch footage of Dr. J, you can see exactly what influenced the players that came after him. He was such a pivotal player, not just in his own generation but those that came after him.
November 25, 1983: Philadelphia's Julius Erving casually palms the loose ball and gets an assist to Franklin Edwards.

Dr. J finished with 22 PTS/8 REB and Moses Malone had 24 PTS/13 REB in the 76ers' 115-101 win at Houston. Ralph Sampson scored a team-high 20 PTS (10-14 FG) for the Rockets.

It's great to have Ausar back. I love his defensive contribution and he does give us a really athletic secondary playmaking option on the court. Hopefully build up minutes from here and if we're really lucky, work on improving that shooting %
November 26, 2024 at 1:38 PM
Rare that I feel like we got noticeably worse after the break. No one really turned up, I don't think anyone comes out of that with any real credit. Just a really limp performance.

I know we get the "clear and obvious error" line and they want to set a high bar for VAR intervening but that was a genuinely bad call that has been compounded by VAR not giving it.
November 25, 2024 at 9:33 PM
That's another goal that's so poor defensively. I don't like to hammer him but Kelly, why on earth hasn't he closed that shot down. Just completely stood off him, it's a tight angle but he's given AWB a free hit.

It would be very "us" to lose at home to a side that has been as poor lately as West Ham but there are definitely chances there for us, Todibo in particular looks shaky. I would like to see Tonali on sooner rather than later and depending how long he can give us, Wilson to disrupt their CB's more.

Without making myself too unpopular on day one of Bluesky posting, why are so many journalists ignoring the Maddy Cusack story?

Our latest is here: why one of her team-mates has quit playing because she’s so disillusioned by the sport’s response to Maddy’s death.

I would imagine this is just an attempt to keep him motivated through to the end of the season. Whilst replacing a fit Callum Wilson would be incredibly expensive, the injuries have begun to outweigh any production over the last 12-18 months.

Amidst all the talk of expanding vs relocating the stadium, I was looking out for anything about the training ground. We've made some good strides in a short space of time but when you visit other clubs around the world and compare facilities, we're still so far away from an elite level setup.

After a summer transfer saga that ended in failure, it seems #NUFC’s interest in Marc Guehi is not over.

With the 24-year-old 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 international centre-back entering the last 18 months of his contract, there’s a chance that @jamieorrell.bsky.social's image & this 🧵 of analysis will not be in vain 🔽
