A few thoughts from me

Thu Oct 09, 2025 1:55 pm

Been away seeing friends since Sunday, so not been on the forum.

Also didn't see the Newport game but here are a few thoughts.


I have seen people replying to Annie's view on the match and saying it doesn't matter because it's the Vertu Trophy - I don't buy that. We want to win every game.

We were happy to beat Exeter and Burnley so we can't decide we're not bothered just because we lost.

Yes we had a lot of young players in the squad but there were senior players who should be capable of beating the worst team in the EFL.

It's a dreadful result and stats suggest Newport deserved it.



However, I'm not going to judge BBM on the back of that. I believe he has enough credit in the bank because of our league position.

But people will understandably get worried if we have a couole of bad results in October.


Lastly, I think the international break has come at a good time for us. We clearly need a bit of a break to work on individual mistakes (for the players not away with their countries). Hopefully can hit the ground running after, starting with the Reading game.

All football fans are "entitled", it's part of the M.O. But we are really encroaching on dilussional arrogance.

We are an L1 club with 9 squad members unavailable playing an L2 at home in a local derby, but with a full complement to choose from, we lose 1-0, and it's almost the end of the world!!!!

Not sure if BBM is the real deal. He is a great developer of talent, I think even his detractors can't deny that. Only Salech and Turnbull have looked poorer than last season, whilst others are unrecognisable.

My question is whether he can swallow his philosophy and change it up to do whatever it takes to win. But it's only a quarter away into the season, so I'm not remotely concerned at the moment.

I'll ask the question again as you deleted my last post.

Why are you creating a new thread on your thoughts on the Newport game and not adding it to Annis's thread like everyone else?

If one of us minions had done it you'd have moved it like you've done on numerous occasions.

The last 2 posts - what a pair of sausages!

Worcesters input to this forum is arguably the most important to keeping it tick. Why not try and debate the points as opposed to getting your minge out?

I read all of his posts as he's one of the most balanced on here. If you disagree with last comment, its because you disagree with his content... debate the content, dont get arsey and personal.

:laughing5: "sausages" :laughing5:

Neds contribution to this forum isn't being questioned, he works incredibly hard to keep this forum going and I say well done to him.

I disagree with his opinions on many subjects but we always have a good friendly debate. His opinion or "content" on this thread isn't under question from me, read my original reply.

You need to put the drink down if you think he is one of the most balanced on here.

Any constructive criticism towards the club is dismissed by him. Feel free to read my previous replies to prove your statement is absolute bullshit.

He is the most deluded poster on here. Closely followed by the muppet sven who deletes peoples posts to protect him being proven wrong.

Because the way your original post was written, read as trying to triggering a reaction and I thought trying to provoke a reaction.

I may have misread that, in which case I apologise.

As you well know as a regular poster, I always put my view across after a game in a thread.

I would also argue that this is making several points.

When I merged a thread after Burton, it was because there was one thread called "Tinkerman BBM" and the new thread was wholely also about that subject.

Whereas, for example, your thread about Salech was deserving of it's own thread.

I will continue to do things the way I always have.

As for someone above saying that I think I'm important, well they couldn't be further from the truth and anyone who knows me would ssy the same.


But I apologise if I misinterpreted the tone of your original post Mike.

Quite funny. SB1927 says "don't get arsey and personal."

You respond by saying he's talking bullshit, calling Sven a muppet and me deluded.

Why are you telling me what he said? I don't follow his rules, and after his last post I definitely don't respect his opinion, and your opinion was worthless since the months and months you were onto everyone for wanting Riza gone, and kept telling us he's the right man and will take us to the prem etc.

I stick by everything I’ve said. He's talking bullshit, svens a muppet and your deluded. Feel free to prove me wrong, I have plenty of posts and private messages off sven telling me why he's deleted my posts for your benefit.

Apologies if my post came across as trying to provoke a reaction, it's not how I intended it to be. Maybe it could have been written better and TBH I was a bit p155ed off at the time of writing it due to the needless abuse I had on my Salech thread.

Yes, to be fair you always put a thread up with your view of a game and I usually read it and will continue to. Because it was a couple of days late, and you mentioned Annis's thread, it just seemed like it should have been added to Annis's.

:whip:

Quality. The fact you've brought Sven into it means that this blow out was due regardless.

Why not start a topic on your grievances, as opposed to sniping and killing the context of a thread?

You won't, you'll likely abuse me, maybe even get a deleted post. :laughing6:

You do you, cupcake. :whip:
