Our failings as an attacking unit were there for all to see again on Saturday. You have to remember that three of our shots on target were from that triple save from their keeper. Other than that it was pretty much all on Maximin's shoulders to try and come up with something. If Bruce stopped just playing five a side in training and actually tried coaching we might be able to improve things.

Aye I picked up on that too. Of course he is insinuating it though.

I thought it was the worst performance I've seen all season. I mean we were never troubled by them but Bruce actually tried to send them out on the front foot for once and not one of them had a clue how we are supposed to attack. What the fuck do we do in training these days? Certainly no time can be spent on trying to improve our attack.

Not taken them long to recognise him for the fraud that he is.

Not been to Cookhouse myself and it gets very highly recommended by people but my mate went a couple of weeks ago and was very disappointed. Said it was just average. Thali Tray in Ouseburn is good too. Not sure I'd be heading there in this weather though.

Yeah it's a weird one for sure. I'm keen to watch it again.

Was at River Beat next to the old Baja Beach Club the other day. They do Asian tapas and Dim Sum as well as a few curries. Second time I've been and loved it both times. Also went to St Vincent during restaurant week last month and it was excellent. It's another small plates restaurant owned by Terry Labourne. Definitely one I'll visit again.

I enjoyed the Stranger tbh. Yes some of the acting was awful (particularly the young cast and the neighbour) but I got carried along with the story.

It's consistently been one of the best things on telly since its first episode.

The Outsider has been good so far.

Bowen isn't a striker anyway. Hopefully we've learned our lesson with Joelinton that it's not a good idea signing someone to play in a position he doesn't normally play in. I'm with KD, whilst I hate Ashley and what he's done to the club, I can't understand why anyone wouldn't want to see us win and it seems insane for anyone to want Joelinton to fail. Mind it's harder to enjoy the wins when we've played utter shite in most of them. The odd win against the run of play is a hoot but when it's the majority of games it does bring the mood down.

Plenty of canny bars just opposite the station too. I've never been in any of them before or just after the match like but I assume they'd be decent and there's certainly a few that serve canny bait. The Strawberry and Rosie's are both good shouts for bars round the ground with a bit match day atmosphere. I'd throw the Trent House into that mix too.

I see Bairstow is taking his test form into the ODI arena.

The Lighthouse. Shite.

SA putting up more of a fight today than they looked like they had in them.
