    Considering Valerys "illness" he seemed absolutely fine in and around town this evening.

    Another important fact about our current run of form is that our goal difference is slowly improving and there are now 6 teams with a worse GD.
    Not bad when you consider a certain home game against Leicester.

    I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago and was shot down. But take away 9-0 and substitute it for say 3-1 or 2-0 and we would have a good GD

    A bit of tactical discussion. Here's our season so far -

    season so far.png

    Double 6 is basically another way of saying 4222 or double pivot. We had a decent enough start in the games where we played 4 at the back but 6 thru 12 is best forgotten along with the 3-5-2 flat formation. Interesting that we got a result at wolves with 3-4-2-1. Wonder what ralph will do for the return leg next week.

    first-10.jpg Taking a look at our lineups for the first 10 there was some serious 'management' being done on a game by game basis. The lack of consistency so early in the season is probably what did us in. That and the players just not being up to it adaptability-wise. That 9-0 tho:emoticon-0119-puke:

    The 8 goals scored in the last game by our women's team. Not maligning them (as obviously we have a good side) but because we are a relatively new team, we are in the wrong league....a PL side playing in League 1 if you like.

    That first goal had very much a Danny Ings look about it. Some great finishing there!

    Note to Ralph.
    The number 2 is quick, scored and can cross the ball. Show this video to Cedric, especially the crossing bit.

    Ian Wright thinks Ings deserves an England call up.

    Not sure if this is the right thread though, should it go in here, the general football one (as it is England), the off topic (any of the 5 as it isn't Saints) or maybe a new thread that we can sticky titled "Ings for England" :)
