The World v Carl - Round 8 (Rich Stevens) - NSFW

John supports the manager but asks if Ismael is overreacting to poor performances by individuals, Pete asks why we are not pressing upfront or playing at a high tempo as had been expected from an “Ismael side” where has the intensity gone? The full back role and performance is reviewed. Rio comes on and regrets the respect we gave them and the gaps in midfield and, despite being the better of the two forwards, the Bayo miss in the first half. Rio would like to see more of Chakvetadze but ponders who drops out of where to accommodate him. Reviewing the season so far Rio sees us either dominating and not scoring or scoring and conceding because he was so open – before hitting us with the new that he was sat 2 seat away from Mogi Bayat (Bayat has not signed him up as a player)! We join up the Ion family in different cars and see if we can start a family feud on the basis of who should start up front! Gary asks why play Louza if he doesn’t seem interested, we go across to Danny, - a shake up in midfield is suggested to increase the work rate. We compare Jake Livermore’s contribution with that of Jonny Howson at Middlesbro and discuss the lightness of fit midfield options and quality. We go to arbitration Jack to decide who should start up front. A confused Blue Cheese Brett joins to inject positivity and insists that the hire manager/sack manager routine should stop, he asks if Louza could play deeper in midfield in the Will Hughes role. Leboffski asks can we just hang in there and build slowly and organically over a couple of seasons – and then panic! The 5 word reviews and long forms tell a tale of a frustrating afternoon. Dedicated to the Callaghan family and any other families struggling with dementia. This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes.

RichWFC2 joins us deeply concerned that the team is rudderless following an encouraging start to the season. Seeing little to get behind he is deeply concerned for the rest of the season. Wendover decries the lack of a “nasty bastard in midfield” and the recruitment overall. Rajovic is described as a Trevor Senior type of number 9! That’s telling! The first of many to question Imran Louza’s contribution and motivation but certainly not the last. Charlie joins and reiterates the comments made and pins the blame ultimately on Gino Pozzo for recruiting the recruiters. A big advocate of Martins this season is frustrated that “Plan B” saw him dropped to the bench and, as Valerien said later thought the formation change did not work. Finally when asked Charlie firmly rejects the suggestion that Valerien should be changed in the forthcoming International break. We like this. We ask if Daniel Bachmann loud and assertive enough in organising his backline? Pidge joins us and makes a call for Porteous to go back to basics and concentrate on his primary defensive duties and calls for the squad to show the required level of discipline. Sad news relating to Nigel Callaghan’s mum sees Neil and Peter remember the heady days of him delivering crosses from the right wing like they were laser guided! COYH!

A TWO PART SUNDERLAND OPPOSITION SPECIAL - FRST UP THE WOMENS GAME SUNDAY 1st OCTOBER Justin’s on holiday so Carl and Pete talk to Ant from “Haway the Lasses” and “Roker Report” about the womens game away at Sunderland on Sunday. We hear about their last season and pre season and what formation we might expect to see. Pete talks through our season so far and how we have started playing early on in the season. Does playing occasional games at the clubs “main” ground help boost attendances and how glee did Ant have in his voice when he told us they beat Newcastle Ladies? We discuss who each team have nicked from Oxford United and find out which player reminds Pete of a French International Centre Back. We even think we may have found a YouTube channel to watch the game on and Ant thinks we should try to commentate until we explain how it went last time!! COYH!

We catch up again with Jonny from the Boro Breakdown podcast and find out about their player departures and a some less expensive and less experienced arrivals. A tricky start to the season for sure but are Boro on the road to recovery after a win vs the Saints, how is Michael Carrick considered. We find out about a different Al(ex) Bangura and here about the sustainable/development model that Boro are adopting and the formation they are playing this season. Pete once again enthuses over fellow old person John Howsen and once Carl’s alarm stops interrupting everything, we find out about the midfielder’s Indian summer. The prediction league is its usual triumph of persistence over wisdom as Jarvis throws a tantrum and makes demands of Ben, John enjoys the delights of Sheryl Crow in a Bayo tribute prediction and Jonny confesses to liking Cocker Spaniel content (Jarvis likes this). Top of the table Justin decides a policy of trying to copy bottom of the table Carl is a good strategy and Pete may or may not be wearing pyjamas.

PART TWO - We start with Wendover taking out Mrs Wendover out to an Indian restaurant in Leeds named after the Jungle Book and then inspires how we are going to give away the Monkey Forest tickets! Greg was impressed with Leeds Ampadu and we ask does Rajovic need to change, or do we need to change to make the most of Rajovic? Greg concludes that sometimes you get beaten by the better team. We’re joined by Pete suggests that Gino’s plans are an elaborate ground hopping attempt to tick off all the remaining stadiums visited of the 92 league clubs! He goes on to state that the plans of the management of the club are now outdated and unsurpassed by other clubs. Finally, Freddie Adu gets a mention (Peter was highly delighted!) and described as the original John Bostock! Pete asks if the ownership has learnt anything from his mistakes. The Big Lebofski turns up with a list of subjects to go through!!! This includes nightclub advice in Leeds involving Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank! He concedes that Pete is correct and that drummers are not really musicians in the same way that goalkeepers aren’t really footballers. The five-word review includes entirely new words never seen before and a strange 3 piece suite analogy. Thank you to EVERYONE who puts forward their opinion – WHATEVER that opinion is! COYH!

Rich joins us very upset at the team performance and attitude displayed by the Hornets up in Yorkshire, Neil observes that Ismael does have a “plan B” switching to 3-5-2 at halftime but sees the silly goals given away but eulogises over the third Leeds goal as a well-crafted goal, We discuss what is the expectation for this squad from the fans and more importantly within the club itself. Uncle Ron joins and, on request, pulls out some positives including effort and heart but moves on to criticise the regime but back the manager and even say he is “overachieving” with what he is working with. Tim phones in from the M1 southbound having been Elland Road and echoes Ron’s thoughts wanting to see more pride in the shirt. Seeing Bachmann’s much praised performance as “just doing his job” – he wants to see more cohesion feeling the QPR and Birmingham wins are the outliers in terms of performance. Pete talks about Hornet fan Mark O’Brien attempting a world record effort for Motor Neurone Disease Charities a disease he suffers with. We salute you sir. Boyd comes on having been pleased with elements of the season until today and asks questions of the squad and their individual performances. Ant then joins us with theme tune for the day…… Part Two out in the morning COYH! This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes.

We're joined by LS11's Darren and talk through Leeds rollercoaster last few seasons which involved erratic Italian ownership, relegation from the Premier League & Players deciding they dont want to play in the Championship - a fair amount in common then!!! Champagne and Gravy, Grazia's tenure and Ken Bates are all covered (not in Gravy) We also discuss Star Wars memorabilia, Darren's radio voice and why he shouldn't really have to put up with such nonsense as the prediction league and then he makes his prediction.

Part Two Charlie suggests maybe we should stop comparing to last season now and instead start looking forward, he questions if we look well coached throughout the entire team and performance pointing out our deficiencies in attacking areas in terms of creating chances, preferring instead to pass backward and cause our own problems in defence. Greg makes a really good debut call, based in the West Midlands, and married to a Baggies fan he bemoans Ngakia and Morris’s performances with Leeds coming up at the weekend. Concerned at our defensive fragility he counters that the Baggies fans near him concerns about Ismael have been disproved and would like to have seen Livermore or Kayembe bought in for Porteous with Sierralta dropping rather than bringing on a nervous looking Pollock. Danny joins (with Becky driving) and review a mixed bag of game and rues the Kone chance to make it 3-2 but review his performance and agree his energy and willingness to go forward see him favoured to start again vs Leeds. We agree that overall Bachmann was a force for good (but we reserve the right to have a look at the free kick). For a drier climate we join Vinnie in Dallas and explore watching the game whilst working Bemoaning the mistakes that cost us goals and ultimately points, Vinnie is still enthused with the football we are playing, and we discuss Rajovic’s XG vs his goals (Pete reaches the end of his knowledge of statistics at this point and starts talking about blowing up the old Dallas Cowboys stadium instead. Louis finishes off the evening excited to find out about new travel options from Watford to Clapham and thinks Bachmann could have done better with the free kick but asks about our fullbacks pushing into midfield and asks – does it work? Enjoying the spectacle of the first half he also asks about the bad quality of distribution of the WBA keeper – perhaps Bachmann’s distribution isn’t SO bad in comparison? We go through the 5 word review and long form reviews as ever with some great comments and observations that offer a barometer of the game issues and opportunities by themselves. COYH!!
