From what I understand from my cousin, an ex pro footballer, is that the PFA take care of these situations. They did with him. they paid for a knee op and recovery costs.

Stayingup

Unfortunately, they’ve plenty of games against sides as bad, if not worse, than they are. Forest, Brentford, Sheff United all at home and a trip to Luton too. They’ll pick up enough not to worry about us (or Luton) catching them. We really, really shouldn’t be going down, this season. Wish I could ...

Everton’s owner Moshiri rarely goes to games, he’s not been to one since February. He’s there tonight and the rumours around Everton fans is he’s going to sack Dyche after the game. Deserves it too they are awful, how have we lost twice against this shower of sh1t ? Because we're sh1tter. Simple as...

How embarrassing that this Everton have taken 6 pts off us, dumped us out the cup, had 8 PTS deducted and are still out of sight

Which just shows how abysmal we've been.

Stayingup

A tale of two keepers - particularly one and another abysmal referee and VAR bloke - Jones.

Stayingup

Whatever its in the past and Tella certainly made the right move. Loved watching him and ALL our forward line last season.

Who?

I loved him but, remember, Tella did nothing in the Premier League at Southampton. I think Amdouni etc. would look far better in the Championship.

Fofana. Tella was much better Championship or Premier League doesn't matter. Tella is better - from what I have seen so far

Stayingup

The resource that VK had was having to sell pretty much all of the best players we had under Dyche plus losing two key players for nothing and then replacing them plus some of the other aging players at half the cost. Dyche could have sold on players like Mee, Collins, Tarkowski, McNiel etc and reb...

Yep, me too.
And we certainly wouldn't be debating on other threads
about players fitness, or lack of it.

Indeed and being played out of position.

Hopefully a couple of decent strikers will be a priority in the summer. Oh how we've missed Tella's energy

And his speed and finishing ability. Watching Foster trying to run down the right side on Saturday was painful.

Well done not signing Nathan was our major error especially with no decent replacement lined up

Absolutely. They player we got in to replace him is - so far - not the same class at all

Stayingup

I wish it could be 'The Great Escape'. Alas.....

Stayingup

Dyche wasn't starved of funds in his final season. He probably had 1 of his biggest transfer budgets that bought Collins, Cornet and Weghorst. I can't remember if there were others. When he strengthened with Collins and Cornet I can't remember him selling anyone. Granted, Weghorst replaced Wood. He...

Stayingup

In Dyche's first season we were terrible and were flirting with relegation until the last few games or so. The football was some of the worst I had ever seen us play, especially at Championship level. Many fans including myself wanted him potted at the end of the season. I am so glad that the board...

Stayingup

A lot of this is down to way we play and Berge is not a defender. It's a real pity that Ekdal had to go off and we had no CB on the bench to replace him when he did. Inexcusable error from Muric.

Stayingup

Someone on this site this week mentioned concentration, or rather lack of it in the lesser players in the EPL. Well we saw a prime example yesterday and we have witnessed it in games at home that we have thrown away. Simply not good enough. The transfer policy has been pretty much a disaster and VK ...

Stayingup

This team is much worse than Dyche's team that were very unluckily relegated.

And Barnes used to get stick!!!

Didn’t hear any booing at all.

No we didn't. It's just thiese righteous types that have to look for something. Hoping they hear a boo. Its pathetic.

Stayingup

One vote for Fofana. Must be because he did actually get his head on that cross that he brilliantly put wide.

Stayingup

I've kept faith with VK during this awful season and he has brought in some decent players. Esteve for example. But today selecting that front three and not bringing Benson on when Foster playing out wide and totally unsuited to it I have lost faith. Tresor???

Also what has been Benson's crime?
How has he offended VK so badly that he would bring on on Tresor in front of him when we need to score???

Absolutely and the front three today were dreadful.

Don't forget the misogyny. All accepted as fine because he was a bit zany.

Wasn't he also a Homophobic, Psychopathic, Climate change denier and a Pagan to boot. Poor chap. Entitled to his opinions.

No Zaroury tonight for Hull. Is it injury or Eid?

No VAR - was outside the box and didn’t even strike his arm / hand
Dreadful referee / Burnley will get that next season

Let's face it we have had some shockers this season. It can't be much worse next season. And we won't have the big club bias to contend with.

No idea where he's from to be honest but he sounds too posh to be from Burnley

Born in London apparently. I had a connection to Burnley in my mind, but not so

Can they afford to sack him? I think they can't.

Yes well myself and all the guys I go to the games with (6 in total) have renewed. We are looking forward to next season with no VAR, no Prima Donnas ,and lets face it the refereeing can't be any worse surely. We are looking forward to some good lancashire derby matches and me personlly hoping Hudde...

Agree but our defensive errors had the greatest impact on the result.

I think not scoring had some impact also.

Martin Odegaard will indeed not be here. Which is a shame.

Is he Norways captain? Are you sure?

Stayingup

The current team/ squad assembled with a scatter gum approach lacks identity. Next season in the Championship it would be good to build a team around Berge and Cullen, but the captain of Norway won't be here.

Stayingup

A guy on X has put a list of our most expensive signings and t I think there’s only Collins, cornet, wood and gray that we have made a profit on. Brady, hendrick, Vydra all left on frees, Gibson we made a lose on then there’s weghorst we are going to make a lose on. Trafford, Ramsey, Amdouni, Berge...

Stayingup

This is a fair point. But it's worth taking into consideration that the Luton squad has been about 3 seasons in it's development. We got promoted largely on the strength of loan signings. I'm not sure we could buy a decent PL squad on VK's budget. Well didn't Luton actually sign a couple of players...

Stayingup

As I posted on the match thread 6 points and 15 goals behind a team we finished about 20 points better last season is not really acceptable. It looks like we will finish bottom which is embarrasing.

Stayingup

What's galling is we're 6 points behind Luton and 15 goals worse. We were what . . 20.points better last season? That's fairly unforgiveable. Moneyball hasn't worked out.

Stayingup

Happened all season. Teams just need to be patient and in time we'll give them a goal.

Stayingup

Dyche knows how dreadful is our defending of set pieces and will play on that. That's my worry. Otherwise I think we can outplay them.

Stayingup

Actually he deserves an apology for the incompetence his team have had to endure from rank bad and you might say biased match officials.

Agree on Muric and Berge but I thought Cullen was terrific.

Agree with this.

But Taylor was finding those spaces from the left back position? The whole reason he was finding space was because of our shape and system. I thought we dominated a very good wolves side exactly because of the shape and system we played. We mightn’t have had enough quality to finish it off in the e...

Benson did well to get the shot in that he had. A foot higher and it would have been in. Hard to understand why he wasn't brought in earlier and Fofana taken off.

It's like many things. STUPID.

As fans, we need to start protesting the quality of decisions by poor referees this season. We need banners, booing the Premier League Anthem or something. Action needs to be taken. I genuinely believe there's a conspiracy, and Howard Webb needs to resign. If the current lot are dispensed with and ...

It happened in front of us and he fell over the ball. Twisted and fell over it. A joke of a decision given that the referee was right there. But poor defending for the header. What a good performance from us. I thought Brun Larsen scored a very nice goal but should really have buried the chance in t...

One of four left wingers on our books. Five if JBG is classed as a left winger.

Has talent this young man as has Koleosho. Oh and Zaroury. I'll pass on Tresor

Stayingup

Some poor team selections at times yes and experience is a must in this division. But, we have been on the wrong end of some tight decisions. Some poor officiating has cost us points.
