    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    We continued to be solidly second best. Had a chance saved off the line from a Richarlison finish after good work from Spence towards the end at 1-3, could have made things interesting had that gone in. Not that we deserved it.

    The way I saw it they did press them, once they received the ball. But did the obvious thing of not wasting a man or energy stopping the passing option to them. Because they knew that if they received it they could then just run at them and most likely it ends up with a shanked clearance or...

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    Hopefully some more players returning from injuries in the not too distant future. A full week off now until the Fulham game and then Palace, will be very different and on paper easier games than the one we just had. Think Tudor will turn this around and get us to safety (not saying there's not...

    Xavi Simons

    Said it when he was doing well. Feed him the ball in pockets of space and have movement around and ahead of him and he'll do well. Ask him to chase for second balls all game, hold off bigger and stronger players consistently as he waits for support and he'll struggle. Imo can't fault his...

    Cristian Romero

    He's not prime Messi, he's not on his own good enough to make a badly performing team good. But it's also very much clear in a game like yesterday how much we miss him when he's not there.

    Radu Drăgușin

    People still think being good on the ball, composure etc is some kind of bonus or nice additional option for a CB/defender. It's not, not for us at the very least. It's a necessity.

    Radu Drăgușin

    His recent return from a serious injury along with a lack of confidence both from him and the rest of the team probably makes him look worse than he could be. But it's imo also true that his weaknesses makes him unsuitable to us, and that he should be moved on come the summer. Can't fault his...

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    Can't be surprised that we were second best. Thought we showed good fight and intensity in the first half, after the delay for ref tech issues at least. Lucky to go into half time even, but really needed a bit more luck to make sure the game state got/stayed uncomfortable for them. Like the...

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    Them stumbling a bit and probably feeling the pressure. Hopefully a new manager bounce for us. Short turnaround for them, long turnaround for us with some fatigued players getting some much needed rest. Certainty some reasons to at least be hopeful going into this. Obviously some counter...

    There are many different factors outside of the manager this and last season. Some that could be used to critique the managers, some that could be used to defend them. We should have course debate who had it worse, I'm not sure that's worth doing, both managers are in the past and neither did...

    Ange did enough to stay in the job until the end of the season (under management that at least had the reputation of being fairly trigger happy with regards to sacking managers). Frank didn't do enough to stay in the job until the end of the season. Under new management, management that let him...

    25/26 Injury and illness thread

    Didn't we do such a review and report last season? Maybe it concluded that we would be unable to assemble a squad that can manage PL and European football at the same time any time soon so thus we hired Frank to help out on the injury front going into the 26/27 season?

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I'm not even having fun with that. The consensus just isn't that strong. I don't think it's that simple. But also it's the case that this lack of consensus will just continue. Come the summer we'll have our third manager since Ange got sacked (including Tudor) and we could discuss this until...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    On Frank perhaps level found, but more so type of club/situation imo. It seems you're in full agreement that there isn't a strong consensus on Ange 😉 The Forest job was possibly worse suited to Ange than the job here was to Frank.

    Igor the Interim

    Gray will be needed for sure. Would personally be somewhat surprised if Souza is thrown into the NLD. Assuming it's a 3-4-3 not too dissimilar to what Conte did big asks of the midfield duo. Sarr and Gallagher should suit that, but not sure if the pair of them is the solution. Bissouma if...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    All for big swings! Even more so after the medium swing of Frank ended up hitting ourselves in the face at least as hard as the big swing did. Also very much agreed that we weren't always shocking after that first 10 games. Inconsistent for sure, but prefer that to consistently bad. There will...

    The Case for the Attacking play

    Let's hope that with Tudor in it will at last be possible to make a case for our attacking play.

    Igor the Interim

    Very much agreed. Had it been given to one of the "good old boys" (Dyche, Pulisic etc) the media would have their piece already written and probably been positive about it. Him not having PL experience it's obviously a potential downside, but in terms of dealing with a situation like this I...

    Next Manager Thread (2026 Edition)

    Fully agreed. Obviously impossible to really know from the outside, but he looked spent. For a long time thought we needed to move on from at least the majority of the players here before he could come back. We've done that and mostly moved on from most of the board, the chairman, directors...

    Igor the Interim

    Hopefully the timing can work to his and our benefit too. Almost two weeks off to the NLD, giving fatigued players some much needed rest. Then a week between games before there's a Sunday-Thursday turnaround. Time on the training ground, time for some of injured players to hopefully start...
