God it's boring with no match stream. Can you tell?

Imagine how boring it is reading your posts and not having a stream?

Charles loses the ball too much, for me.

Getting the feeling we may not have too many 0-0 scorelines this season.

Afternoon all, just got in from work so read this thread, not brilliant by the sounds of it but doing ok. At least we are creating and taking chances. We aren't going to turn into a brilliant team overnight but we do appear to be steadily heading in the right direction.

Agreed. If Lambert is to play a diamond, my ideal quartet would be KEA, Bannan, Ireland and Holman.

Defence is a bit of a concern, we definitely need a left back at the very least.

The second half has been quite revealing: I think it's shown the risk of not having more seasoned EPL players on the side.
We've looked a little panicky and naive at times.

But overall, some positives.

"That ball is arrowing like....like...err...one of Steve Backley's javelin throws."

Woodward getting in the olympic spirit.
