Moderators PowerButchi 7,083 Posted October 8, 2020 Author Moderators Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 It was marvellous watching Rodon and Mepham mark each other and literally physically hold each other back while 2 yards away from Conor Coady for the second. Fucks sakes.  Although tonight brought up a massive issue with Wales. If Keiffer Moore, Bale, or Ramsey aren't on the pitch to score it, nor David Brooks or Joe Allen to make it, you really can't see Wales scoring. Brooks and Ramsey are back for the next game, but fuck me if Keiffer Moore is injured we are reeeeeealllly going to miss him. The entire upturn in our form is just him being a massive awkward target man. It's what we're built around and have been for 18 months.  And Ryan Giggs in his eternal arsehole glory neglected to call up a Christian Doidge, Sam Vokes, or Tom Bradshaw who could do a similar job after HRK pulled out.  Ace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fucks sakes. Thought we started bright and their first was a total sucker punch, against the run of play. Truly terrible defending. He has to call up Doidge if Moore is unfit. I don't trust Tyler Roberts to play the target man role and Vokes is essentially immobile. I'd rather call up John Hartson if it came to that. But tonight was only a 'B' international anyway.....

Moderators PowerButchi 7,083 Posted October 8, 2020 Author Moderators Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 First half we easily the better team. Probably should have been a B international as this might damage our Pot 1 status.  It shows how pointless a game it was though when both England and Wales fans have pretty much all said "why the fuck are we playing this?" we've 3 in 7, England have 3 in 6. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Someone like Danny Ings is England's 3rd choice striker, Premier League quality across the board and in every position and cover. Who's our 3rd choice striker, Sam Vokes (Stoke)? Doidge (Hibernian)? When both countries have their full strength XI out its a bit more even at least. Edited October 8, 2020 by garynysmon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members Lorne Malvo 1,586 Posted October 8, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 I love the bloke so Coady's absolute joy at getting a goal made the game worth it, for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members scratchdj 2,407 Posted October 9, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 The England side was a Kevin Pressman away from being a England B team for sure. When did they stop having B teams anyway? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some of those names bring back a lot of nostalgia. (Did alright considering we seemingly only had 10 players....)   These days, Malcom Allen is best known for being on co-comms for S4C's football coverage (with Nic Parry of Reslo fame). Yes, that's him screaming like a girl every time a goal goes in...  Edited October 9, 2020 by garynysmon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The exception being Timmy Mallett, and lets face it, that's just a matter of time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
