If you’ve fitted it with the wrong size tyres and convinced yourself they will turn your fiat into a lambo then it’s wise to at least be self aware enough to understand the wheels might well fall off.DJBlu wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 3:39 pmDo you keep 4-8 Goodyear tyres in your house?

But what if the tyre window is closed?

Slow down and stop pretending you have a lambo? And don’t chuck the spare away.

The question was do you keep spares not are the tyres wrong. Do you? No you don't you wait until you can go to the shop and replace them. That is the issue. The tyres have burst and we had to wait till the shop opened. Guess what. We bought a 205/55/R16 this morning.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 3:43 pmIf you’ve fitted it with the wrong size tyres and convinced yourself they will turn your fiat into a lambo then it’s wise to at least be self aware enough to understand the wheels might well fall off.DJBlu wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 3:39 pmDo you keep 4-8 Goodyear tyres in your house?

Gotta say there's been at least 3 or 4 instances of good defensive work for Delf so far.

We could have done better in the summer. Not sure we "should", but we could. That's always the case. We did get key targets. Most haven't had the impact we'd have liked (also some excuses there with injuries, preseason etc), but I'd not take last season's squad over this. You think the summer was a disaster, I don't. That's fine. Without the injuries/covid we'd be plodding along with the chance to kick on after this window. To say "you go through" this when it's literally the second worst availability crisis I've ever seen as a fan (after playing the kids due to our collapse) is an odd take on the situation. You can't plan for this.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 3:34 pmI mean sure but these are things that you go through and it’s reflective of the poor recruitment decisions in the summer.

Anyway, back t the game. Get in, you wantaway Irish beauty.

Re: Miller Light or Stella Artois. Rotherham v Bolton 1.1.22 15:00 Away
Nails on motorways buddy, I'd say we've had 8 of them so far and 4 are running with slow punctures. No matter how you word it you are wrong. Full pressure and our best set then maybe we can discuss it.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 3:47 pmI’d buy the right tyres.

Re: Miller Light or Stella Artois. Rotherham v Bolton 1.1.22 15:00 Away
Spot on. No guarantees with any signings. Was always going to take a few windows to upgrade enough to be competing at the top. Instead we've struggled with injuries, had the Sarcevic mare, and are still mid-table. It's certainly not been glorious success but it's been fine. We'd all have bitten your hand off last summer for it.GhostoftheBok wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 3:47 pmWe could have done better in the summer. Not sure we "should", but we could.

But apparently despite all that, because the manager is a bit of a gobshite we have to take him at his best team in the league nonsense for...some reason.

Re: Miller Light or Stella Artois. Rotherham v Bolton 1.1.22 15:00 Away
Come back at half time and find I've missed a whole page on tyres, none of which explains why defenders can't defend the basics...
But putting that aside I have that first 45 down as "plucky." Don't think there can be too many grumbles about one a piece...sure it's been a bit disjointed, but they've tried...

Best thing about Doyle's goal, one touch then bang!
Re: Miller Light or Stella Artois. Rotherham v Bolton 1.1.22 15:00 Away
Yep, Dixon too. Chipped up and he's headed it in from 3 yards. Their keeper didn't cover himself in glory either. Kachunga and Santos been good. Rest as you say been plucky.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 3:58 pmCome back at half time and find I've missed a whole page on tyres, none of which explains why defenders can't defend the basics...

Another poor delivery from a free kick, Seniors turn.
Re: Miller Light or Stella Artois. Rotherham v Bolton 1.1.22 15:00 Away
Theres been a few that have been good so far, Santos, Senior, Delf, Johnston, Doyle. Kachunga the standout performer. Doyle effective when it was least expected. Hard to be critical of any of them really.Prufrock wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 4:08 pmYep, Dixon too. Chipped up and he's headed it in from 3 yards. Their keeper didn't cover himself in glory either.

At this point i'd like to see us play corners or free kicks as a regular kick. Seems whenever we get a set piece we're just handing possession over.

There is no pressure at all here. We’ve put in as good a display as can be expected in the circumstances. So the result is a bit immaterial. However can we use the fact we can play without too much pressure to carve something out this half?
