    I'm interested in your opinion. Come on, give an opinion that you can be held accountable to and shown to be right or wrong IF you have the bottle. Your general observations are nonsense at best.

    Popped into the gents toilet in the 1903 suite before the kick off, and the top wooden cover on the toilet cistern was still missing just as it was the last home game back in 2020/21, the old adage comes to mind "fur coat and no knickers"

    You learn the basics at junior school like, get you're body over the ball when your shooting yet how many of our players thumped shots over the bar because they couldn't do the basics.

    If you could teach I think a lot of otherwise good footballers would be great strikers yes I suppose you can improve on technique with repetitive practice but good strikers have an instinct you can’t teach

    Well there is certainly a massive improvement in the kop with soap dispensers and automatic taps big improvement

    That’s right and they also have sense of where the goal is without looking up I suppose like anything with enough practice you can improve a bit but to be good you need to have a natural instinct

    They teach composure, not to stab at the ball or try to take the chance off balance, They teach how not to rush the attempt and more importantly better timing, You need the natural ability of course but to say that cannot be improved is nonsense, All professional clubs employ coaches in one manor or another, According to you we do not need a goalkeeping coach as the either you are a keeper or not and cannot be improved

    Let @Park bantam@Park bantam know as well please. He's under the impression that Cook didn't make a contribution yesterday.

    Vernam could also do with lessons in keeping his head over the ball when shooting.

    Valid point well made!
    On the Cook note - Piergianni impressed me yesterday until his last minute mistake

    Same as Angol in that they both probably just shade towards power rather than accuracy.

    Good job the centre half wasn't blowing on him just before our first goal then.

    Phew.
