I think the backline’s currently regular brain farts aren’t helping on that front either

I’m a Willock fan - he’s a really good PL midfielder, bags of talent, works his bollocks off. If he could remember how to finish (we’ve seen that he can do it) he’d genuinely have a chance of making an England squad

I think Murphy has been ok tbf - but I’m probably assessing him on what he’s capable of more than owt else

I love the fact that the lad just knows to put the ball back across the goal for the finish. Mediocre finishers just hit that finish forwards in the direction of where the GK is heading. Love it - ‘shin finish’ or not, that’s fucking lovely

Beauty! I fucking love this lad

They have to let the ‘phase of play’ play out before flagging - effectively, let play continue until the chance is over. It’s an instruction rather than incompetence (everything else on display is incompetence)

Howe needs to tell these lads to actually shoot when you have the opportunity. Constantly trying to walk it in. The only one who shoots is Longstaff, who ironically is the one who should pass in those positions.

Fuck fuck fuck

Our back line has gone from being solid to pants-shitting every time the ball goes over the halfway line. And of course he’s booked Burn for nowt

Botman’s form of late has been going down the toilet

Fuck me

‘You don’t know what you’re doing’? I fucking hate Forest. Always have. Cunts

He’s lost control of this game, the useless baaaldy cunt

Fuck. What do we need to do here

Shelvey trying his best to injure Bruno here

?

Leaving a foot in every time. Book the fuckers ffs

Haha we really are shite at finishing mind. Great play by Murphy

I’m happy to see Longstaff deeper and Bruno in the ‘number 8’ role as the kids say. Or the ‘Rob Lee’ position as it should be called

They’ve left a leg in on every challenge so far. Kicking lumps.

Yeah, blink and you miss it but it was superb - rolled back flick. Lovely

I did have the misfortune of encountering what must be Wimbledon’s only hooligan in a bar down there pre-match in 97 or 98 (can’t remember exactly - Asprilla FK) - he tried starting a fight with me and a mate of mine; he came over to us and started ‘shouting the odds’ and goading us. Daft bugger was effectively hoyed out by a group of us - no punches or anything, basically pushed out of the pub and jeered as he gave us the ‘Vs’ from outside the window. Wimbledon has a one man firm, it seems.

Agreed, it’s complete and utter gibberish. Had to read it three times as I thought I was having comprehension issues before realising I was reading a ‘journalist’ who can’t get a three paragraph story making sense.

I have recollections of Stoke being dicey - a league cup tie there in the mid-90s was a particular ‘stand-out’.
