We had the same with Trippier “he can’t defend”

At the start with Eddie Howe's style he was a poor defender, he improved massively once Sean Dyche came in.

YES he could - if he wasnt remaining at his parent club

So that is my point, he is remaining with his club, so couldn't train with us tomorrow.

I'm sure that's right. It's only two or three years back that Leicester signed someone 14 seconds after the Summer window closed, if I remember rightly. They had to pay him for 4 months until he could be registered. Our signing of Samba is different though as it is a pre-contract agreement. He will...

No he couldn't.

Mike Riley and now Howard Webb really have destroyed the refereeing standards in our country. I would also say an issue is young people not becoming referees in local football and progressing through the ranks due to the sheer fact that they don't want to put up with the abuse they receive at grass...

Much better officiating tonight compared to Premier League, also shows how VAR can work to help refs without becoming a total farce.

Liverpool definitely not, let Klopp leave crying.

Man City cheated their way there so no.

Arsenal cannot stand Arteta nor their self-righteous fanbase.

Can all of them be given point deductions and let Villa win it?

Wow just done a quick check and since the Play Off system was introduced in 1987, out of all 3 leagues there’s never been a final with 2 teams that class each other as there MAIN rivals. How has this never happened in nearly 40 years !! Off the top of my head the closest was Swansea v Cardiff in 20...

I really fear for next season. I cannot see whatever team we salvage from this beaten and divided squad getting any higher than midtable and a back to back relegation has to be a real risk. With an apparently unsackable manager.

To be fair you could have said the same in 2022.

Sergeant picking up tips from Mudryk on how to fall over, luckily for Ipswich the ref today didn't fall for it.

Definitely would take him in the squad but at the moment in the front 4 positions he isn't getting ahead of Saka, Foden, Kane or Bellingham.

Haven’t read the accounts as I wouldn’t have a clue but if the situation is bad why did we spunk so much money, on potential, last Summer? I think basically for that potential to be realised. Gamble 4 or 5 million on a Koleosho or Odobert in the hope after a season or two in the Premier League they...

As TT says, Plymouth been on a downfall since Schumacher took the Stoke job.

There new manager/head coach Ian Foster came from the England set up and the Plymouth fans aren't happy with him. They have gone from a pressing/passing style of play to a 10 men behind the ball, direct style.

I've never seen that.

Coyle, Ade, don't know, Thompson (?), Blake (?), don't know, Marney.

Can anyone fill in the blanks and confirm the others?

First one definitely Ade, 3rd from the left is Paterson maybe?

Definitely not Marney, he wasn't signed until summer 2010 by Laws.

They shouldn't be allowed an extra sub. Clearly their player didn't have a concussion.

Can never tell with a concussion as they are not instant, I agree he is unlikely to have one, but pretty sure because he was subbed as a concussion sub it rules him out of Brentford's next game.

Genuine question, why do they get to make a substitution whilst a player is still down injured? He's off the pitch why aren't we playing on?

If the injured player had stayed on he would be off for 30 seconds.

Surely once play resumes the sub should not be allowed into play for 30 seconds.

Lincoln leading Bristol Rovers 3-0 at half time, that's 19 goals in their past 6 games and they are right on the cusp of the play offs at the moment.

Wasn’t even stood in his goal then nearly made a mess of a tame shot, shocking from the pair of them There was no pressure from Brentford so he was away from goal to be able to receive a pass, basic defending never to pass the ball back directly at goal. Then it is a very good save, to get up that ...

I'm a bit surprised its never really come out what went on with Ben White at the World cup. Clearly an issue or some kind of falling out with somebody.

Reports were that he fell out with Steve Holland, other reports say he left the squad due to not getting gametime.

Reading are a team that had their day in the sun,and seemed such a well run club but since John Madejski left have crashed and burned.

And the fans hounded Madejeski out of the club for being a poor owner!

Must have missed it at the time, what did he say about Foster?

claretburns

Probably a 6 point deduction heading Forest's way and a further couple of points for Everton, Luton well on their way to surviving.

Said at the start of the season Villa would get top 4, Luton would stay up and we'd finish between 10th and 14th, oh well 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

They've said the problems are at the Newcastle turnstiles.

The protest idea came out after the draw was made, but it has been very quiet since.

Suppose we'll find out in just under half an hour.
