Just Winning Counts

December 7, 2023

 

Posted at 08:18h in Uncategorized by

New manager syndrome can be an awkward thing.  Sheffield United, hammered by so many bring back their saviour from the past. Chris Wilder isn’t a household name other than in parts of Sheffield. Their team was bound to respond in some way, big or small and it had to be against us. So, just winning...

World Class & Not So World Class

December 3, 2023

I don’t know what Jürgen made of it, but this was some strange game. At times we looked like a team of strangers with the defence anywhere but where it should have been resulting in conceding three goals at home v Fulham. The front three looked to be misfiring on all cylinders with Darwin probably...

Job Done Feet Up Until March

December 1, 2023

 

Posted at 09:02h in Uncategorized by

We had to win because we didn't want this Europa Cup thing dragging on any longer. Win we did. To be honest 4-0 should have been more, a lot more but it's a case of Job Done and as far as the Europa League is concerned, feet up until March. Diaz, Gakpo [2] and Mo...

The Scouser In Our Team

November 25, 2023

 

Posted at 14:54h in Uncategorized by

Before the game I said a point against the Champions at The Etihad would be a good point. Thanks to TAA the Scouser in our team we did just that. We could have won, we could have lost. Take the point and smile all the way home....

Editorial Issue 297

Welcome to Issue 298 of Red All Over The Land. The games we cover in this Issue produced a mixed bag of results.  We all hoped that things like the performance at Luton and again in Toulouse were a thing of the past but evidently not.  We got out of Luton with a point and in...

Apologies. I was sidetracked so didn't get this updated after the Brentford game. No need to comment as it was over 10-days ago....

More Flashbacks

The defeat against Toulouse wasn't what we expected. Another poor team performance and more signs that things could be going pear shaped. No point in saying anything else....

Flashbacks

November 6, 2023

 

Posted at 08:43h in Uncategorized by

We were overwhelming favourites to beat struggling Luton Town. Just like we were expected to win at a few grounds last season. Only we didn't. A one-all draw represents two massive points dropped. Scoring in the final moments of the game saved only total embarrassment but the goal meant so much to Luis Diaz for...

Blowing In The Wind

November 2, 2023

 

Posted at 07:45h in Uncategorized by

There was a wild win blowing down on the south coast of England and Liverpool had to play an away Cup-tie in it.  Same for both sides, obviously and both Bournemouth and Liverpool gave it their best shot. As is his way, Jürgen made eight changes and what is now becoming known as the midweek...

Keep Ball

October 30, 2023

 

Posted at 09:01h in Uncategorized by

This was an exhibition of ‘keep ball.’ Forest did well to keep the scoreline to 3-0.  They only got into the game in the last ten minutes or so when we were already on ‘warm down.’ When Jota got the first you figured a second would soon follow and it did from the current darling...
