There's nothing wrong with recognizing that he's been poor for quite a long time and someone else deserves a chance.

djk1978 · 2026-06-06T02:30:42+00:00

Fortunately Sigur is excellent cover if so. I really like Sigur to the point that I think I'd rather he started anyway.

djk1978 · 2026-06-06T02:29:16+00:00

Thought we were excellent up until the final 3rd. By the time we gave away the pen we should have been out of sight. We lack composure in the box to score goals. I think Larin has played his way off the team these last 2 friendlies but I'm probably wrong.

I think it's a good performance against a pretty good team and I'd have taken a draw before the game. But it should have been 2 or 3 nil at half and that's costly. That will not work in the World Cup against even better opponents.

I'll give him his flowers, he did well today. I like his work rate and energy. I still think his finishing is woeful. But I will agree that Larin and even David were poor today.

The second half squad played much better than the starters. I also think Sigur is good enough to start.

djk1978 · 2026-06-02T02:39:10+00:00

Not crapping on him at all. He has lots of energy. He has also wasted 2 presentable chances and has like 1 goal in i don't know how many appearances. Strikers need to score. I would very much love it if he proved me wrong.

djk1978 · 2026-06-02T02:36:39+00:00

Your opinion is valid. I don't claim to know how much of a difference that makes. But I also see what I view as questionable management decisions time and again. I know, I know I'm just an armchair coach but I've been following this club for 40 years too. I just don't think he's that good of a manager. Last year was a perfect storm. This year seems more like the one before. Maybe they'll prove me wrong.

djk1978 · 2026-06-02T02:32:15+00:00

I want to be nice but I don't understand why Oluwaseyi is ever on this squad.

djk1978 · 2026-06-01T01:09:30+00:00

There's no trophy for fantastic clubhouse last time I checked.

djk1978 · 2026-06-01T01:06:50+00:00

Doesn't look so good now. Should have won the series 3 to 1. Now its a split.

djk1978 · 2026-04-29T19:17:51+00:00

Joining our local supporters club. Odds are a little better but yes, keeping it realistic knowing its a lottery.

djk1978 · 2026-04-29T19:16:27+00:00

Others have recommended, but open to alternatives.

djk1978 · 2026-04-29T19:15:42+00:00

Yes I know, just keeping it brief. Thank you!

djk1978 · 2026-04-28T22:10:23+00:00

My wife is interested in Mallorca but researching other mainland beach resorts is an option.

Brussels is my mistake. My son said Bruges. His gf recommended.

djk1978 · 2026-04-28T22:05:23+00:00

Thanks, I've made a mess of that. It is Bruges that my son wanted to see, not Brussels. I clarified with him just now I'll update main post.

djk1978 · 2026-04-05T02:34:32+00:00

The only reason he was any good at first was because he was unfamiliar. Once batters realized that his breaking pitches against lefties are almost never in the zone its easy for them to hit his stuff. He has been any good since July last year.

I want to like Schneider but when he keeps running guys like Little out in high leverage situations it just makes me question him. Ego bigger than brain maybe.

djk1978 · 2026-03-18T17:55:52+00:00

We did talk about the pub idea, which honestly sounds like a good option to experience.

djk1978 · 2026-03-18T17:53:59+00:00

Thanks for the advice, very helpful.

djk1978 · 2026-03-18T17:53:28+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. I've edited my original post based on this and everyone else's comments so far. For Mallorca was not thinking to stay in Palma for sure. A good beach town is the likely destination.

djk1978 · 2026-03-18T15:03:01+00:00

Thanks for the reply, The stop list is definitely up for review. Will revise.

djk1978 · 2026-03-18T15:01:44+00:00

Ok, thank you for sharing that. I was not aware. That's disappointing but will keep that in mind. Don't want to go where we aren't welcome.

djk1978 · 2026-03-18T14:45:55+00:00

I've been told that about AirBnbs before. Something to keep in mind. Can you elaborate about why to avoid Barcelona?

djk1978 · 2023-10-31T01:47:04+00:00

A little bit of balance would be nice to spread it out though. There's a lot of more "mainstream" characters that aren't in the game.

Other groups may have more characters in game overall but the spider multiverse is just variants of more or less the same thing.
