These players are certainly coming together as a team. They seem to want to play for each other as well as Zola.
Good might for Herts with Stevenage winning 2-1 away at Notts County - County had a player sent off and there were 3 penalties in that match, County missing one. It got to the point where I got myself so wound up I had to go out of the room so I went and did the washing-up. Let's follow this up with a result at home on Saturday.
I think all us supporters are going to need medical assistance multiple times this season at this rate!
Not sure I agree with that - "as more and more people are added to a group, the group often becomes increasingly inefficient" - doesn't seem to be appropriate to me.
It did worry me that we might get a bunch of players with the promise of talent, but no real idea of showing how sometimes in the Championship you just have to scrap.
GFZ in his post match interview has stated that any player who tries diving will not play for the team. There have been some comments that Fernando Forestieri slipped on the wet grass and Zola says that he told him Saturday and tonight that he had the wrong studs in.
Now if only his Chelsea ex-teammate and now Chelsea boss took a similar line the Premiership would start to look a better place. Martin Jol should have a word with Riise as well. I do hope GFZ sticks to this. Forestieri is clearly quality who is likely to get better if he can link up better with his team-mates but he must cut out the diving.
I have never seen a player slip then appeal for a penalty...blatant cheating simple as that half the team tried it on tonight truly awful
Maybe your grapes needed a little more sunshine? Some of your fans seem to think that your team was lacking, or just having a bad game.
I think he is a bit upset. If you look at the Charlton board everyone is talking about the problems in their side, except for our friend above. He will have calmed down a bit by tomorrow.
If you look at the Charlton board they are also talking about your cynical tactics as well as our shortcomings as a team
See I don't get this. I cannot condone diving, even if it buys our team free kicks, but we got punished. Our player got sent off. Rightly or, more acurately, wrongly you rarely get that reward for players diving especially combined with a yellow for not backing off 10 yards for a free kick. You basically got a cheap advantage due to our players stupidity. Now just because you not only couldn't take advantage of this but managed to concede a goal and lose the game suddenly we are the devil and the only team in the division to stretch the rules when leading away from home. I tell you something. I fully expect to have teams at the Vic this year doing everything they can to break up our passing game and wasting time from half hour in. It will sting but I certainly will not blame them for doing so. Only thing I do not like is diving. Up to now Forestieri is the only player who seems to outwardly dive to the point it looks totally out of place.
