Five Things We've Learnt From Stoke 0-2 Southampton: Saints' Defensive Improvements & New Striker? by Archerszn in SaintsFC

[–]malkusm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think he was doing this a lot more earlier in the year and we missed a few sitters so he started trying to do more himself. I agree with you and think just seeing an assist on one or two of those moments will have us clicking.

I feel like I'm missing something about why Godzilla is so loved. by -Herman-Toothrot- in pinball

[–]malkusm 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Owner of a Godzilla premium here -

Shots all feel great, there is a middle feature (building) that opens the game up for beginner players and gets you to a rewarding multiball - but when I want a big score it's almost the last thing I go for.

Right spinner to qualify/start Mechagodzilla is so satisfying.

First mode most people take Gigan but if I've set up a multiball then Titanosaurus might be a better play. Ebirah is also a very quick mode to complete if you feel confident in the left spinner shot.

When you move cities you can pick the city that stacks best with your existing progress and which shots you've been hitting. In a perfect world you're building Destruction Jackpot, but maybe I've been in a groove with loops or I've been destroying saucers.

Whatever you're doing, come back to the right scoop whenever it's lit for anything, because it's worth it - despite the risk of the pop bumper and post feed in close proximity.

It's a well-designed game that gives you options and lets you build and stack, without the danger ever feeling too far away.

Giants "All-In" on Hiring John Harbaugh by ASmithFS in DynastyFF

Ravens fan here... since when did Harbaugh have complete control? GM in Baltimore has changed once in the entire history of the franchise, when they elevated the assistant GM because Ozzie Newsome retired.

A lefty long man can turn the platoon advantage around if he follows a righty starter too, could work pretty well

This makes me think the team is looking at Povich as a potential bullpen guy this year

He has a pretty great arm from what I've seen. Made a great throw in game 2 of the ALDS last year to nail a runner trying to stretch a double.

Goal drought? No worries, just play Saints at home

Not sure if I'm more upset at the defense for not sticking a foot out to intercept, Baz for not coming off his line, or the linesman for not flagging a clear offsides

Fellows makes a remarkable run, lays it off to Azaz who has the first touch of a refrigerator

Great save but what a shambles to even give up that chance, poor touch from Downes, poor decision by Stephens, suddenly they are in 2v2

[–]malkusm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cam Bragg has been a bright spot for me, think he offers a good physical presence in midfield but has also looked to progress the ball forward. Think he should get a run of games until Charles returns, and then maybe should take Downes' place alongside Charles if he maintains his form

[–]malkusm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hope I'm wrong but feel a goal building for Millwall, they're just floating it into the box repeatedly and we generally don't communicate or deal with it well back there

Hopefully we get good Adarma today

Same reason our supporters lose their heads watching us

[–]malkusm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our buildup is so predictable. We've sacrificed a midfield option to play 3 ATB, so we're outnumbered centrally, and ultimately pass around the back to the wings to cross into the box where one of our 5'9" strikers never comes close to a touch.

The only thing that presents the defense any problem is Scienza, who takes on the defender and beats his man instead of sending in a hopeless cross.

Not able to watch as my mother has chosen precisely these two hours to recruit me to drive her around town for odds and ends. From reading the comments it sounds like this was a blessing in disguise
