On the occasion of our free kick in the first half right on the edge of their box last night, the fan in front of me was of the opinion: “It’s too close, nah, too close, he’ll never get it over the wall and dip quick enough under the bar from that range, no one can do it from there, too close”. When Sercombe (?) put it narrowly over the bar, this fan completely lost it: “not f*cking good enough, that’s sh*t, f*ckin’ waste, you’ve gotta do better than that”. etc etc. I so wanted to tap him on the shoulder and remind him of his previous comments, but I honestly thought he would have knocked me out, he was that mad! I was a little guilty towards the end when the ball was just “hoofed fwd”, as I so eloquently and disdainfully put it, only for Jakubiak to latch on to it and almost score, I only wish there had been a liarger slice of humble pie to eat. My particular favourites are standing between two fans, one who is shouting: “get rid” or “play it”, and on the other side someone is shouting “hold it”, but top of my list is when a player who has been getting abuse all game goes and scores (e.g. Harrison) and the best the the fan responsible for the slagging can manage is: “about f*ckin’ time” or some other similar belter.

I might have been sitting near that bloke too.... The Sercombe chance was never easy just by the way it bounced up - a lot trickier that it looks when it comes like that - getting the power and accuracy just right... That said, I could see his point about the free kick being too close (as it proved to be). It's a great skill to get it up and down in just 18 yards...

What’s all this about seats at football matches? I was standing on the terraces. (Never understood why people stand on terraces yet sit in stands)

Me too - hopefully will be there on Saturday. Not sure how iFollow justify charging the same price for us as for the Championship games, when the Championship subscribers get 4 camera angles and replays as part of the package.

No joke a lad who stands near me has slandered Lee Brown for the last 4-5 seasons, overheard him saying to his pal that we'll struggle to replace him 🤔

The one that gets me is when we are knocking it about on the floor and there's shouts of 'get it forward'. We knock it long, the other team wins it in the air and the people who shouted 'get it forward' proceed to moan.

Well I guess the higher percentage options when it is that close are... 1) bend a low shot round the wall 2) fire a low shot at the wall and hope they jump 3) Pass your way around the wall making a better angle (or distance) for a more successful shot. given our prowess at any of them I'm guessing our dead ball specialists deem it better to waste the opportunity in the traditional manner as they'll cop less stick for achieving the expected rafter than fluffing the chance in a less predictable manner.
