    I wonder if he’s going to be able to continue doing them in the premier league. Their rights people might be a bit more stringent than the EFL ones

    I'm just watching it now mate.

    I'm not one for analysing a game in real time but this fella always has it nailed.

    It's revealing to see that those who are quick to criticise RLB, and the players, give his videos a very wide berth.

    I'm pleased that he backs up what I'd thought ...

    ... we didn't only start to gain control when Hamer went off, it was in the first half and continued after the break.

    Hamer was already struggling to keep up with Roberts who was playing with a torn calf muscle.

    Watched it twice now, absolutely brilliant.
    Really enjoyed his analysis over the season, and like @RTB's match threads, he's saved the best till last.

    Edited. Quoted wrong poster.

    I woke up early and was thinking what it was like before we had all this modern technology, watching multiple videos, recording off the tele, U tube etc etc.

    Back in '73 after seeing off Leeds we all relied on buying newspapers, we bought every Sunday paper, then Mondays as well just to see the same pictures and read the same reports over and over again.
    I had a pile of newspaper articles in the back of the wardrobe which I recently passed onto a lad in the village who wasn't born until after '73, he is an avid fan and was delighted to add these to his collection.

    We've all spent nearly a fortnight lapping this all up and it's now just the norm.
    How times have changed in 50 years or so. But isn't it great when we get the right result.

    I contribute to his work and encourage everyone else to do the same.

    He'd be happy to post on here, with a little support, which I think would be to our benefit.

    I rarely enjoy being shown to know less than I think but this fella really opens my eyes tbh.

    Definitely stuff that makes you look at the game differently. Then I'll try to apply it to the next game but I'm too emotionally involved to look objectively. Interesting as well what the likes of Sourpatch, Felltop and Scout post about his videos that they don't agree with bits of them / have alternative observations.
