    OMT Badgers vs Eagles

    It's more than that, I'm afraid: I think they've been instructed to swap positions in order to make it more difficult for the opposition to mark them, but they haven't taken that in at all. They move slowly and mechanically. At times, you'd think they were on the training pitch. If they're not...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    One thing I noticed last night and that nobody will be able to solve at this point of the season is the huge fitness issues. Our players look slower, even VDV gets beaten for pace these days, when he used to be able to make up for his average positioning. I'm afraid that will be the last nail in...

    OMT Badgers vs Eagles

    I'm sad more than anything else. Just when it felt like we had finally turned a corner, we blew it - again. So many things have gone wrong this season that the head says it can only end one way, but the heart still hopes for a miracle. It feels like one of these car crashes you see coming a...

    OMT Badgers vs Eagles

    I've read about it and it seems the club did make an official complaint I think. It's absolutely outrageous if you want my opinion, and a very poor move considering some of the... inconsistent refereeing decisions this season. As for Vicario, I'd say it's always the last straw that breaks the...

    OMT Badgers vs Eagles

    If Vicario's confidence is shot (between our fans, the fact that he wants to go back to Serie A and the PL official accoung mocking him, it's not impossible), anybody's a better choice and maybe it will be jolt the rest of them need. It looks like a desperate move and if we lose, it could...

    Dropping Vicario would be a bold move but maybe that's the kick up the backside the others need.

    What was the trigger in our downward trend?

    If you look at the broader picture, it certainly is the decision to freeze the squad and stop buying players, but we had plenty of chances to make up for that over the past years. If that's the perspective you want to take, I think our obsession with signing younger players with a good resale...

    OMT Badgers vs Eagles

    I'll never stop believe we can dig ourselves out of that hole of our own making but there are, in my opinion, two massive differences between now and 1993 or 1998 (I was so certain we were going down that year). First, even in 93, we had quality players in the squad - players like Anderton...

    OMT Badgers vs Eagles

    Tonight's results haven't been kind to us. It's a shame but a win tomorrow could still completely change our momentum.

    Only guy I'd swap for Tudor is Postecoglou (that's how desperate the situation is for me).

    OMT Badgers vs Eagles

    Richarlison isn't a great player by any means, but he looks like the kind of guy who wears his heart on his sleeve and you can see he cares about our current predicament. I've reached the point where the club's situation is bugging me all day and if we are to go down, I'd rather it were with...

    OMT Badgers vs Eagles

    Unlikely as it may seem, a win could put us 7 points clear of Wet Spam and would be a huge step towards safety. It won't be pretty but on current form, Palace aren't much better than some of the teams we beat in the Champions League.

    Remember that penalty against Bentancur...

    I'm very surprised that you, of all people, would agree to that... unless this is another case of undetected sarcasm.

    Remember that penalty against Bentancur...

    I'll put my tin foil hat on, but there are indeed some strong signs that the FIFA President is, for lack of a better term, a CIA asset. Much of his work consisted in making football 'compliant' with US standards and redirecting football's resources towards the United States. VAR is part of the...

    'Round pegs in square holes'

    What level of crazyness is that?! The most frightening part is that they might feel justified if, by some extraordinary chance, we avoid the drop.

    Clearly, they didn't because I remember them saying they didn't want to impact next season's budget with short-term signings. I'm sure we'll all have a great laugh together in the Championship...

    'Round pegs in square holes'

    I think Frank needed to be sacked but the irony is that, with hindsight, his early-season results could be the thing that keeps us up. At some point, his position became untenable and it's clear the players turn on him, but without that early form, our fate would be sealed. It's such a shame...

    'Round pegs in square holes'

    It was such a poor decision that even a yes-man like Frank said it left us weaker. It's scary how quickly the wheels fall off the wagon at this level. Ten games into the 2023/24 season, we were top of the league. Two+ years of complete mismanagement (and winning a European trophy in the...

    'Round pegs in square holes'

    A lot has been said and written about our lack of left-footed players, but it's the midfield that I find the most baffling, to be honest. We just signed the same type of players over and over again, to the point that we only have one decent passer of the ball in the first team squad. They can't...

    'Round pegs in square holes'

    They knew (or they were supposed to know) what system he plays when they appointed him. Very few managers are willing to change their ways to fit the players available, even more so when they come for a rescue mission. I think the idea is to tell the players: I've got this system, it works/it's...
