Great scummy move by Ashley those tickets.
All of them need to resist if they can. Season or two with fewer fans and he might bin it off. The football certainly won't be pulling them back.
We play the aggressive same formation v Liverpool as we do v Dog & Duck FC.
We know when it clicks, it's great. The hope I suppose, is that it starts to click v better sides as well.
Opens teams up though and we score a lot of goals.
I think we'd score top 6 levels if we had a striker who could play football.
Keeping them out I think is going to be an issue.
It doesn't matter who we have in defence it's the formation and attacking intent of the team that's leading to us being so open.
Basically if we don't dominate the game, we allow loads of chances at our goal.
It's not the wisest way to play.
I've convinced myself Watford are really going to trouble us.
Southampton is a must must win. As big as Newcastle was. Anything other than a win against them and the team will be so nervous v Watford.
To his detriment, so does Dean Smith!
We play the aggressive same shape v Liverpool and we do v Dog & Duck FC.
We know when it clicks, it's great. The hope I suppose, is that it starts to click v better sides as well.
If we stay up, I am confident of three or four starting players being signed next Summer. It'll be great. Whether we stay up or not feels 55/45 at the moment.
Definitely bookies favourites for West Ham, Newcastle and Brighton. If we get thumped at Blades we'll still be favourites for Southampton as well.
It won't be comfortable by the way! Just something I've noticed. Wins v those around you are better than wins v top sides in relegation terms. You get 3 and make sure they get 0.
Nasty feeling he'll be starting at Sheff U.
Don't really mind that match but I don't want him in the team v Watford or Southampton.
Took Smith ages and ages to drop him and Targett at the start of the season.
Chelsea was the wrong game for him.
Leicester was the wrong game for him.
Sheff Utd I think is the wrong game for him.
Watford and Southampton... I want him on the pitch.
Not about goals for me. I want to see he can play football and contribute for the team. The team incidentally, that are all sick of him and try and keep him out of the game.
It'll be a nightmare trying to explain why he still should be dropped if he scores a tap in like the Newcastle one he fluffed. Performance, performance, performance!
Targett injury might have saved him getting subbed.
Crowd reaction would not have been good. They've started to reflect to feelings of the other players who are sick of him.
Absolutely he's got worse and worse since then.
He's clearly still our best CB.
And when he eliminates those easy errors like not getting tackled trying to cruyff round a striker he'll be even better.
If Smith is determined to stick with him, he still should be taken out v Sheff Utd where we're likely to get a good kicking.
Watford & Southampton define how the rest of the season is going to go and what sort of targets we'll be able to attract in January.
