Is the obsession with Shepherd a sign of how bad the rest are, or how bad/stubborn Conor is?

@jonnysmales Arguably the best midfielder at the club is sat at home. Too stubborn to let him back in cos he came back late for pre season. They’ll sack him if the next couple of weeks don’t well. Can’t afford not to.

Individually, most of these defenders get in most L1 sides. Collectively, set up as one of the worst defensive units we've ever had. Only one person to blame for that.

@Tobytyke205 A bigger question is what return on investment the academy has had over the last, say 10 years. I don’t know the answer, but I’d guess it’s probably running at a big loss.

@leebsfc11 Well said. The owners did say that plus, making large losses every season. I would like to know how much the academy costs to run up to the under 16 team. He said there had been redundancies, and both the first team and U21's squads are much smaller than previously.

Folk just need to realise what the club has become. Mid/lower L1 club with the budget to match. Can’t blame them for cashing in on assets to help fund the club. It happens at every club in our position. Gone are the days of us being where we once were (under these owners anyway)

@paulshefftyke The one thing the board/owners can be held accountable for is bending reality to mismanage and give false expectation to fans. But that happens at other clubs too and at the start of the season they need to sell a dream to try and get bums on seats.

@leebsfc11 True but it's hard not to be emotionally connected to our club , I know uts rinse and repeat but they have got to expect backlash . Feel sorry for managers all the time promised this and that but never materialise. Maybe the managers are bluffing us on what they know too

@Colts_GB Season finished right there. Going back to last week, giving those 2x 1st away looks ridiculous now.

That’s not good Not good at all

@ZachHicks2 How do you get the offence firing again when the QB is playing with a fractured leg? I know every team has injuries but to effectively lose both QBs is tough and hard to recover from. Could easily lose every game from here on in.

If the Colts end up missing the playoffs after a 7-1 start… I don’t really know where you go from there as an organization. This team is staring down the barrel of a monumental collapse

@Colts_GB I think the D has be fine even without Buck. We’ve just lost all momentum on offence, which is understandable when the QB is playing with a fractured leg. A lot easier to defend against when you know he won’t be rushing/QB sneaking.

@leebsfc11 Yep that’s a really fair and valid point! Also think the injury to Buck has been a huge loss as well.

Starting 7-1 will make this REALLY hard t take….but not many fans had a lot of hope for this team coming into the year. I personally did, but are we now not just seeing what this team REALLY is?

@Colts_GB @Colts 2nd half was a tough watch. The next 2 weeks are huge now.

My weekend started with watching England collapse in the #Ashes My weekend ends watching the @Colts collapse in Arrowhead 😔 Not a good weekend. And I have a toothache 😬

@MugsNfl Holy shit. Two feels like a lot but we’ve been shite drafting in the first round under Ballard and hopefully it’ll end up being two 32nd picks 😂

Woah fucking big boy trade!!!

A Indianapolis short 4 part story 💙

@MugsNfl As always, Blue described the feelings of Colts fans perfectly as that played out 😂

Totally insane ending to this game - not often you see the win/loss graphic update and then the game continues!

@BenjMellor 2 divisions apart, but the reality is closer than that. If the league structure was correct, they’d be in L2 this season. And I think we can be safe in assuming we’re a low, maybe very low, L1 team based on the current squad. I get your point though. Reaffirms where we are.

🫣 Pulled apart by the National League side. #Barnsleyfc

@footballheaven @BBCSheffield Translation: the squad nowhere near good enough and we want more.

@CallumSimpson9 well in, Callum. 👊🏻💪🏻

@teresamankin @Colts_GB Thats a lovely offer, thanks. Maybe one day we’ll get a UK based group of fans over together for a game. Enjoy Berlin, it’s an incredible city 👍🏻

@Colts_GB @leebsfc11 Well, if you decide to do that, I have four season tickets so if you know when you might want to come - season tickets are way cheaper than getting them on the secondary market.

I think I’m the only person not to get tickets today 😔 And let me tell you I AM GUTTED 😞

Nathan Jones is the absolute definition of small man syndrome.

@MugsNfl Meant 2023 🙃. The Germany game is always massively popular so having a Steelers fan in our group will probably mean we’ll end up trying for that game first.

@leebsfc11 And I know Germany resale tickets are still massive! Can get to a Colts home game for not that much more overall

So we’ve all seen the annoying leaks for today’s announcement but looks like these are the games Thoughts on the slate? I went to the Vikings Browns game in London in 2017 but can’t remember a single thing about it!
