I’d add Huggins to that (bar giving the ball away for the goal) and Fink who held the ball up well and looked to bring in others. Hopefully first of many goals tonight

Simon Jones @seimon76.bsky.social · 1d

Boyd Munce has given us a bit of bite in midfield. Fink linking the play well. Be interesting to see how long before some changes are made to protect players for the weekend maybe?

Send over any thoughts/questions on Munster or Connacht, and particularly any creative ideas for who plays centre on the weekend!

Maria by Blondie is such a solid gold banger

There was no where for him to go other than back to Norris as well. There’s no point playing that ball at all

Simon Jones @seimon76.bsky.social · 3d

Just caught up with the two goals that #Wycombe conceded yesterday. Every bit as bad as they sounded.

We’ve been conceding self inflicted goals all season. Seemed to just stop for the second, a lack urgency to get a block in

Duff has quite a job on

Now beat Connacht

Simon Jones @seimon76.bsky.social · 4d

I would have Boyd-Munce, Westetgaard and Henderson as my midfield trio. That might be harsh on Leahy but it’s not working at the moment. Be interesting to see who he goes for against Fulham u21s

Simon Jones @seimon76.bsky.social · 4d

Do wonder whether Norris was selected due to the youth in the team, as Duff highlights the inexperience. Maybe he felt he needed an older head?

There’s some veiled criticism of recruitment and squad size in the is as well

Simon Jones @seimon76.bsky.social · 4d

“Football, bloody hell” is how you react🤣

Simon Jones @seimon76.bsky.social · 4d

After #Wycombe pull off an unlikely draw it’s down City with the boy for the first time this season.

Visitors Leyton Orient were very poor when the #Chairboys played themselves in the cup, but can they rouse themselves against one of the divisions big guns?

Simon Jones @seimon76.bsky.social · 4d

They’ve unravelled the culture of the club and it’s going to be very difficult to get that back

Simon Jones @seimon76.bsky.social · 4d

It takes every new manager five games to realise we can’t play with three centre backs (I’m assuming we’re doing that today?)

Simon Jones @seimon76.bsky.social · 4d

Don’t really see what van Sas has done to be dropped

Simon Jones @seimon76.bsky.social · 4d

At some point these players have to be playing themselves out of the team. I felt that last weekend

Simon Jones @seimon76.bsky.social · 4d

Mullins was anonymous last weekend and hooked at half time so surprised he’s starting

Simon Jones @seimon76.bsky.social · 4d

He looked so comfortable for QPR in the week. Great to see him fitting in so seamlessly at a higher level. On the positive side the goals have been shared around this season, something like 16 different scorers

Simon Jones @seimon76.bsky.social · 4d

Also wouldn’t pick Grimmer as a tight CB, if that’s what we’ve done again. Pick an actual CB (we’ve got plenty🤣)

Simon Jones @seimon76.bsky.social · 4d

Think it’s also how you put together the midfield to get the best out of the three players there. I’d be picking Boyd Munce as the six and then two others ahead of him

Simon Jones @seimon76.bsky.social · 4d

We’ve got so many players it’s hard to work out what’s going on🤣

Simon Jones @seimon76.bsky.social · 5d

Be great if it was a massive duffel coat🤣

Simon Jones @seimon76.bsky.social · 5d

It’s lack of curiosity that’s most disheartening. By all means listen to the WRU but then take that away to scrutinise and test it against other perspectives. Educate as well as inform.

Simon Jones @seimon76.bsky.social · 7d

Welcomed back into the fold last night.

Listen to Dan and Steve talk about the weather in Ireland and witness how we collapse under the pressure of the panel last week getting 14/15 of the team for the Lions game rigjt🤣
