The guys jump into recording a podcast straight after the defeat to Millwall to discuss the game and look back at the dire performance against Luton. They also spend time dissecting a number of Dong's comments from his BBC WM interview with Richard Wilford...

Good pod guys. Having a listen right now.
The bit on throw-ins made me laugh. Even when we're losing and we win a throw in the final third, there's absolutely no urgency to get the ball back into play.
I think it's a product of the manager's general mentality. Thinking it's too risky to perhaps look for a quick one, as we may lose the ball when we haven't 'set' into our shape (whatever that is), rather than the players having belief that catching the opposition off-guard may be of benefit.

Really enjoyed recording this last night. Given our current predicament I don't know if that's a little bit twisted?!
Thanks for the comments so far

Good listen.
There does seem to be strong correlation between how bad we are doing and how enjoyable the podcasts are. I suppose if we were playing well there wouldn't be much to discuss.
If I'm being honest I did think you went a bit OTT with Dong saying he was die hard fan. Think we're all guilty of dissecting things that are said a bit too much.
Your bang on about throwings. We've always seemed to be completely rubbish at them.
With regards to Monk wasn't there a few stories leaked to the press by both parties about each other after he was sacked. Think the bridges are well and truly burnt there. He did well for us but don't think he can be trusted.

I think with Monk, both sides had a story and it was probably that the truth lay somewhere in the middle.

I think I could've quite easily gone for him a little bit more in all honesty and I'm sure Kristoff could as well. I held back a bit and cut myself short. They were his own words. He had no right saying that and following it up with not missing a game for 4 and half years like he is a hard-working fan putting his own money into the club. He got off lightly last night
Thanks for listening and the feedback though

I look forward to the 'Dong & Zhao away days' podcast to prove you wrong about his die hard fan credentials.Screamoblue wrote: βThu Feb 18, 2021 1:46 pm I think I could've quite easily gone for him a little bit more in all honesty and I'm sure Kristoff could as well.
