I expect Potter will be working on tactical plays, studying coaches and managers around the world, having had a break from football. I think that Chelsea might be a poisoned chalice for a little while longer yet. I am not expecting Mr Mourinho to have a trouble free time there. Potter has had great ...

Darnhill Claret

I think he will. Don't think people put as much store into a few bad results when the overall trend is a positive one. First season in Europe and injuries to key players, are quite important mitigating, contributory factors, to a club with a relatively small squad.

The Premier League can now, I presume, charge Leicester and hopefully impose 'a sanction' to be in place early next season. Will be interesting to see what sanctions will be imposed due to changes afoot, or if the 'new sanctions' will come into force for charges dating after the new sanctions come i...

If they don't win the play-offs, they will lose players, quality players may take a lot of persuading to go there and they will have to pay over the odds to land their targets. I think on reputation VK outpoints Farke and we could still avoid relegation, however unlikely that seems right now.

Darnhill Claret

Said on the radio that he would go to Spurs as well, so don't worry about that.

A five year plan renews every 12 months, so don't worry about that either.

If and when, sorry when VK leaves, we well continue with the already established 5 Yr plan, ad infinitum.

Darnhill Claret

It's all about opinions and respecting the opinion of others even if you disagree.

Outfield players mistakes tend to be ignored if we don't concede as a result.

Keepers are often marked down for misplaced passes. Rarely the case for outfield players.

Safe journey to you all.

Darnhill Claret

That sounds like it.

Congratulations to JJ for his continued enthusiasm and everyone else involved in the foodbank and all the earlier work by those who got the foodbank up and running and their continuing enthusiasm for the project.

A girlfriend of mine was the bar manager there for a couple of months in 1989.

Darnhill Claret

As all keepers are possibly 1 game away from a serious error that will cost their teams big time, it pains me to see any of our goalkeepers hammered for errors and opinions like 'neither are PL quality'. In that case no goalkeeper is PL quality.

One in Accy at the bottom of Warner Street, over the Arcade.

Roxy in Darwen and Suttys off Livesey Branch Road.
I saw Slade at Uncle Tom's Cabin in Darwen if it was close to the market.

Darnhill Claret

They all deserve a fresh start here, or a transfer that is mutually beneficial to both parties.

I think we may have forgotten that Vincent's wife apparently wanted to return to the north-west. Brighton couldn't be further away. I am also convinced until it's proven otherwise that he wants to build/rebuild a VK dynasty here to prove that a name can succeed at a small club and then succeed at a ...

Assignon does have a similar instinct to find an opportunity in another area of the pitch which VK's system allows, so Assignon and Maatsen are both likely to make a goalscoring play or assist where an 'old fashioned' full back might not. Trent also has this instinct, but does it in a more advanced ...

Aggi types quicker than me and probably thinks quicker too.

Darnhill Claret

VAR has decided from the outset that clear and obvious does not apply to offside in the same way as goal-line technology. It has to be judged as offside or onside. They have not made any allowance for a desperately tight decision so there will always be dissenting voices. Even in horse racing camera...

I reckon we could shift double by the end of this week.

Darnhill Claret

I guess that might also be an example of how Keane as a manager didn't seem to have good personal relationships with his players, ultimately leading to his demise as a club manager. Perhaps Keane didn't lead from the front with his players right behind him. Maybe when he turned round to see where th...

Sorry I was replying to the post that said none of the three were penalties.

Darnhill Claret

I think you'd have a few disagreeing with that opinion.

Darnhill Claret

Pretty sure he wasn't celebrating the season so far, just yesterday's result.

Darnhill Claret

If I was a Luton fan I'd have wanted Everton v Forest to end as a draw, so for me VAR failed.

Darnhill Claret

Not sure that it was calculated at all, more likely just an outpouring of immediate emotion, following a performance and result that currently increases our survival chances.

Darnhill Claret

Why would you advise a club that a points increase is unlikely. The options available should be clearly defined and able for a club to refer to. To state that a points increase is unlikely is almost encouraging a club to appeal.

Darnhill Claret

Hi J. James, if you look at the post immediately preceding that post it is from the same poster, so I will confidently say that I am sure there was no disrespect intended. I would like to say that your dad was much respected and clearly loved by many. I'm also 71 so I have many great memories of you...

Darnhill Claret

Doesn't matter where Maatsen lines up, he isn't a 'traditional' full back. The game is evolving continually and there is the four centre back, back fours and the let's try and get 11 footballers on the pitch. Maatsen fits into the latter group. It probably needs a combination of those two ideas alon...

Bit late with this one Aggi.

The Muric howler is no more or no less of a howler whatever the outcome of the game. The fact that we lost two points, just affects the anger levels on here. Although this thread is about Muric, our player, in this instance I think that comparisons with other keepers is more than relevant. All keepe...

Darnhill Claret

England's No 1, Mr Pickford, made an epic fail last night of Muric proportions, yet for some reason it has hardly had a mention, certainly not on this thread. Yet another reminder that an error does not define a keeper, because all keepers make them.

Darnhill Claret

I thought when the ref gave the pen, he seemed to point to the penalty spot and the area where Palmer went down.

Darnhill Claret

Eye off the ball, lack of concentration, poor weather conditions, pass played between the posts all combined and a total misjudgement, nothing at all to do with technique. He could have employed the inside of the boot technique (not instep) and still misjudged it with the same result.

Darnhill Claret

Amen.

Smiley face accidentally missed off.

Goliath, in your opening post you said that Foster did nothing for 30 minutes (kind maybe) but then compared him negatively with three pre VK players, who each played less than 60 minutes, admittedly through no fault of their own, with a massive back-handed compliment to Brownhill, but I get your po...

Darnhill Claret

He was probably looking where to pass it to, seeing who was unmarked and took his eye off the ball for that split second like we do when checking the rear view mirror. It shouldn't happen but it did. He made a bad choice and we've all suffered the consequences but he'll be hurting the most.

Darnhill Claret

People are so entrenched in their goalkeeper views, that until we have a clear number 1, with a more than competent number 2, that will continue. In fairness to both our present keepers I think this is a hangover from Nick Pope. It started last season with unfair comparisons between Pope and Muric a...

Hernia ops are really difficult to recover from, time-wise. Took Ashley at least 18 months to fully recover.

Darnhill Claret

Well, we'll get more minutes out of O'Shea and Esteve.

Darnhill Claret

Ekdal certainly did have some good moments but I was nervous for him on a number of occasions when things didn't go to plan. Happy that the majority had a more positive feel about his performance than I did. Good to read.

Darnhill Claret

I haven't looked at the 'rate the players' thread, but not surprisingly Ekdal looked very rusty yesterday. The further away he is from our goal, the more confident he looks, but for a defender, I'm not sure that is a great recommendation.

Darnhill Claret

I'm going to hazard a guess here that the original press release released may not have been the final press release on the subject.

Darnhill Claret

At the start of the season the Premier League announced that on a number of occasions throughout the season players would take the knee and they have. I assume the next one will be on the final game day.

Darnhill Claret

If anyone had to think of a word to rhyme with Bong I think the majority would choose Pong and would probably hold their nose to emphasise it. Sad that it all blew up like it did. The things people do in the heat of the moment eh!

Darnhill Claret

But there is no mention of BLM any more and hasn't been for years apart from those who want to justify booing.

Darnhill Claret

A lot of points made, but the majority of them, clearly agenda based. Only two posts prior to this one have pointed out that a back pass to a keeper should never be between the posts. That alone prevents the mistake resulting in a goal. Just as comments against Trafford were over the top and unneces...
