Tresor will not be signing - he needed to make 15 appearances to have the option to buy triggered - in addition he had a clause which allowed him to make the decision to sign or not subject to 1 or 2 details . neither is happening he will leave in summer If this is true then it is a tragedy. A seas...

His passing to prompt moves is good and his pass accuracy is general very good, especially as he's not someone who can generally be accused of playing safe. His final ball is hit and miss but that's a slightly different point (and will improve with game time snd confidence) How many times have we s...

Such sad news and another to pass away having suffered with dementia. Good player for Spurs and a damn good manager at Wimbledon too. Never realised he had been diagnosed with dementia. Looking back at his second spell at Newcastle when he was ridiculed for some of his conduct i wonder whether that...

Before matches, I’m sure that the ground safety officer and team are obliged to carry out safety checks. Surely, surely, surely one of the very first things you do is to look up? If that was there before the game kicked off, that is negligent in my opinion. Of course, it could have come loose at an...

Don't forget we've currently got a minus 34 goal difference so we are actually 7 points off safety

He was well off it tonight. Amazed he stayed on

After failing to win tonight Saturday is absolutely a must win

Couldn't give a sh1t. If we can defend a free kick like that we don't deserve to win.

But the free kick never happens if the ref does his job. Appalling decision

Decent performance but too little too late i fear

Muric 8*
Vitinho 6 decent defensively, poor going forward
Taylor as above

O'Shea 7

Let's hope they don't put this cretin in charge of our last game at home to Forest because if there's anything riding on it and he does that sort of thing again he might get lynched Is it possible that he could be prevented from officiating in any future Burnley games after his efforts vs Chelsea a...

They'll find some well funded clubs in League Two - how many dependent on who goes up. I listened to Gary Neville at last year's FSA AGM and he said Salford would have the fifth biggest budget in League Two behind Stockport, Wrexham, Notts County and Bradford City. Just had a look at the league tab...

JohnDearyMe

How much does it roughly cost to have an artificial pitch installed? With the weather getting more extreme it seems to be becoming more of a problem for non league clubs. Would make sense for some of the tv money in the game to be siphoned down the leagues for that purpose

I know American football doesn't have relegation but i wonder if he ever endured any bad runs of defeats across a season like we have done? Hopefully he can pass on some salient advice if so

JohnDearyMe

Did Cullen actually play in any pre-season friendlies? I thought he missed a lot of them, which may in part explain why he was so off it at the start of the season.

JohnDearyMe

It felt like we were witnessing the final game of the season where we had nothing to play for; the energy levels were that low.

Just another strange aspect of this mystifying season

JohnDearyMe

One of the many frustrating things about today was that we were up against a very poor Palace team by their recent standards.

JohnDearyMe

I thought Tresor was our least committed player but Amdouni has now surpassed him.

He is badly out of his depth and i suspect he'll be loaned out for the rest of his contract a la Weghorst

JohnDearyMe

That was bleak. We were dreadful throughout. Special note for Amdouni who trotted around for 35 minutes contributing absolutely nothing. Anyone sat in the away end irrespective of their age or physical health would have offered more. Trafford 3 Assignon 5 O’Shea 5 Estève 5 Taylor 5 Berge 3 Brownhill...

Amoundi again...good grief.

Well he's certainly due a decent game

JohnDearyMe

I thought for the last game they had taken down the segregation fence so you could walk from one end to the other of the Longside. But from watching that video it appears they were still up. Maybe they just opened the doors?

JohnDearyMe

Just listened for the first time and enjoyed it. Thanks to everyone involved, will listen again next week.

Could I recommend Southwark Brewing Co (SBC)...the first one of the Bermondsey Mile microbreweries and not far from London Bridge station. OK, it's not that close to the Selhurst Park - much better for Millwall next season if we're in the same division, of course - but the beer's fab and round the ...

"We go again"

Yes, that's because all clubs are obliged to fulfil their fixture requirements.

They need help from the staff but also the terraces, and I’m not sure the general sense of apathy and even hostility is helpful right now. We had bad days when we were well beaten by the elite teams under Dyche and the feel wasn’t so different today. Given how terrible this season has been results ...

Oh for a modern day John Deary!

The effort has been there in general. I’d go with more an inexperienced team lacking confidence. Winning breeds confidence / builds a mentality, like we saw last season. I think we showed against Sheffield United what we could be like against Champ competition. Agree with your point about winning b...

If this squad was in the Championship last season they would have absolutely smashed it as well. The gap between playing Reading at home and Arsenal at home is unbelievable. It’s a different sport. They'll be technically far better players than most in the championship but will they be putting enou...

A couple on here actually thought we did well 1st half which I find laughable tbh, the warning signs for this car crash performance were sawn as soon as the 1st went in and we completely stopped any form of pressing or showed any intensity or intent in our play!

Trust in the project

JohnDearyMe

Thank god for Amdouni. Can't imagine where we'd be this season if it weren't for his passion and energy

Sure there were two lads casually jogging in behind him. There is no urgency or desire from some of the team. It's killing us, along with VKs refusal to change it.

Too many in this team who don't care enough to play with the required intensity at this level

JohnDearyMe

It certainly has its critics, including myself, but those two decisions in the closing minutes at home and the one away when they got a penalty were the reasons I was originally massively in favour of VAR as two of them (the penalty wouldn’t have been overturned) would have not been allowed and we’...

Thinking of going to this with my daughter and making a weekend of it by going down on the Saturday and staying over. Straight back after the match. Any tips on whether front or back is better?

Be another low poor turnout this one, doesn’t help that it’s Sunday, horrible view at the London stadium too.

It's a dreadful experience watching the game from the away stand at West Ham. Shame as i quite like the area around the ground

JohnDearyMe

Indeed. Shearer pointed out the general lack of authority beyond Trafford, and in particular the lack of decent blocking (this rather than marking because we dont mark man for man, because it would be a succession of mismatches). That has been a recurring theme on corner goals this season (Everton ...

And the first thing I would do in the summer is try and bring Ashley Barnes back, (not that he probably would after we threw him on the scrap heap along with all the others that got us up). It’s beyond laughable to even suggest it, but it would restore at least some connection with the fans, and hi...

Spare a thought for the older die hard Fulham fans who go to all their games. So many decades of visits to the Turf without a win (think it is up to 28 winless trips now), surely yesterday was going to be their day...!

Or so they thought....

I think we are finally seeing why Vitinho was called

We have 8 to their 6 and we are currently 15th in the away table.

If I was the type who uses stats to suit an agenda I would claim we are 33% better than them on the road

Survival form! (Just need to sort out our home displays now...)

Have to admit, my heads in a fog trying to follow VKs thinking this season.

Struggling to understand his thinking as well at times. Can't see why Tresor and Larsen have been ahead of him in the pecking order
