I was saying that on another day those 2 fuck ups dont both lead to goals. I dont dispute they were both significant errors.Stumpy wrote: Mon Oct 12, 2026 8:24 pm He wasn't unlucky with the 2nd mistake, it was idiotic trying something like that.
That's what happens when you don't do what your supposed to and try to be clever

I get what your saying Matt on another day he could get away with it, but if you take unnecessary chances near your own goal and lose the ball there's a fair chance it will end up in the back of your net.
He'd seen what happened less than half hour before.
I know i'm keeping on, but i'm still pissed off with him chucking the game away trying to be clever

Re: Ainsley Maitland-Niles
Yeah hes probably a great signing at 4m. Hes 1 who should be at 1 of the promoted teams and then moving on to the next 1 when they are relegated. Hes a bottom of the table player. Absolutely wasnt what we were promisedStirlingBlue wrote: Mon Oct 12, 2026 8:30 pm For what he cost he should be the Coleman replacement getting occasional games / sub appearances and filling in multiple positions in the squad - unfortunately he’s our starting right back.
For the price we paid he’s a good signing, as your main right back after a five year search he’s terrible

Unfortunately I think it's obvious the decision to sell the club was made before the window and they did just enough to allow us to tread water under someone like Moyes.777Kidnappings wrote: Tue Oct 13, 2026 1:35 pm Yeah hes probably a great signing at 4m.

Maitland-Niles will do a job, he'll be better than our CBs and keep them out of that position, and when new owners come in, we'll have to hope they have the money to get a better, younger option in.

Probably (in regards to the sale of the club) but there was no real sign the transfer committee had any plan to execute.UnsyisaRhino wrote: Tue Oct 13, 2026 6:06 pm Unfortunately I think it's obvious the decision to sell the club was made before the window and they did just enough to allow us to tread water under someone like Moyes.

Re: Ainsley Maitland-Niles
Too slow, too weak, doesnt concentrate, doesnt defend well. His crossing is much better than what we are used to though. Hes a really good buy for the price... hes also not really good enough to play in the premier league

Re: Ainsley Maitland-Niles
Is that first goal really his fault? Rohl doesn't track back and Hato is already on the run whilst he's dealing with Rogers. Harsh to hook him after that.

Re: Ainsley Maitland-Niles
Dont think he did anything technically incorrect there, he anticipated the run and tried to track it, but he just looks slow over 10 yards, which is worrying for a fullback.Shogun wrote: Sun Oct 18, 2026 10:23 am Is that first goal really his fault?

With the benefits of the highlights, yeah, Rohl could/should have done more there to help out

Re: Ainsley Maitland-Niles
I can’t remember for sure, but I think it was just coincidence that he got subbed, I’m sure Johnson was getting ready before that and the commentator said it was AMN coming off, maybe he’d picked up an injury

I'm guessing you didn't see Joe Hart's breakdown of it then?

Re: Ainsley Maitland-Niles
I dont really see how we are blaming pickford. Didnt see what Hart said so im probably saying something completely different but from that range hes almost having to kind of guess exactly where its going. I dont think its a goal you can expect him to save just have to hope he gets enough on it to stop it
