It will be a massive shame if we've alienated Beyer.

Probably a load of ******** then.

It would. What’s to suggest we have?

agreenwood

I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the loan “obligations” have been misreported. JBL was reported to be a cast iron obligation, but Kompany suggested it that it wasn’t a few weeks ago. I’d also be surprised if we are genuinely on the hook to pay £15m+ for Tresor. If we were, I’d have thought we’d ha...

It’s a penalty, but will be filed under the PGMOL twilight zone that is “VAR wouldn’t have overturned it if given or not given”.

The “clear and obvious” definition has jumped the shark.

There’s a lot of backslapping when it comes to the atmosphere generated by the CFS. Maybe the acoustics of the ground mean the noise doesn’t carry very well to the JHU, but I rarely clock much in the way of a racket in there.

agreenwood

I had mixed feelings coming off. Was ****** off with the way the game had gone, but sort of relieved this season was almost over.

Not sure I can cope with a a surprise next weekend that would set up an unexpected decider.

agreenwood

The performance today was similar to some of those early capitulations which Trafford was often singled out in without making any direct errors that led to goals. I think we’re better with Muric, but suspect his impact has been slightly overblown. Even in the better run of results, we’ve still conce...

agreenwood

Not a terrible result for us. Everton were awful but defended resolutely, fortunately. I still fancy Luton to stay up with their games. Unlikely. Forest will beat Sheff Utd tomorrow you’d expect, which will put them 3 points clear and with a superior goal difference. Luton would then probably need ...

agreenwood

Need Dyche to buck his usual trend here and win a match once safety was confirmed.

agreenwood

Like we are, you mean? Yes. And Luton. And Forest. We’ve got an uphill task as things stand, but it becomes virtually impossible if Forest get their points back. The point is that kind of IF shouldn’t exist at this point. We should be able to say “x points from the last 3 games is likely to keep us...

agreenwood

Whether you have sympathy for Forest or not, no club should be in a situation where it has no real feel for how many points might be required to stay up with 3 games to go.

agreenwood

I think we probably need to pick up 4 points before we play Forest to have any real chance and that’s assuming they don’t get some of their deducted points back this week. The upturn in form has been encouraging, but we may have left it a bit late and could have done with turning one of the recent d...

agreenwood

There was a lot of talk a few months ago about Burnley being one of the worst sides in PL history. For Sheffield United it’s a genuine likelihood. Barring a miracle they look like they’ll surpass Swindon’s record for the most goals conceded in the PL era and possibly have one of the worst points tot...

agreenwood

Been terrible today, but he’s a perfect striker for a lower half PL club.

Not far off 70 PL goals and almost 1 in 3. He’s also been in double figures in 5 seasons.

If we had someone in double figures this season, we may well be out of the bottom 3.

I would imagine every player is available for sale if the price is right.

Like every other football club then.

agreenwood

Is this the new trendy thing? Video away fans and hope you catch something that you can put on the internet to provoke a reaction? Granted it's normally Liverpool fans that seem to do it, but just recently it seems to be every game. Of course it shouldn't happen and I don't agree with it, but how p...

agreenwood

******* itching to pile on some folk.

Good point. Good performance.

agreenwood

It's a point we wouldn't have a got in the first half of the season. We've gone and battled and come back from conceding a late goal. We'll probably still drop but sod it lets take the positives. That’s a few games we’ve fought back away from home of late. Wasn't happening earlier in the season. Ma...

To be fair to VK, he did apologise and acknowledge he was wrong in more than one press conference.

agreenwood

It was reported shortly after the game that he called the ref a cheat.

agreenwood

I reckon Tavolieri was ok when he was getting info from Belgium clubs on transfers, but he appears to have tried to followed in the footsteps of Romano of late and branch out into wider football news.

As a result half of the what he says appears to be absolute ********.

agreenwood

He's nowhere near Defour but he's a very different type of player so it doesn't really matter. He's the best we've had since Defour, that's for sure. Agree that Defour was a superior talent, but if it Berge isn’t sold and stays for, he’ll have played for us more than Defour ever did within the firs...

agreenwood

A season full of naivity, odd selections and substitutes that have all but taken us down. Let's hope it won't. If so one of the greatest escapes ever. I’ve been to about 20 games this season. Saturday was the second time I’ve seen us win in person. Apologies for celebrating. I should have been bera...

agreenwood

The fans in the away end enjoyed it. He seemed to enjoy it.

What other considerations are there?

One that we discarded too early having an excellent game.

Rovers lose.

Forest lose.

United taken to extra time at the start of a busy week for them that ends with us.

As days we don’t play on go, it’s not been bad.

agreenwood

Forest manager more or less just said he was thinks there’s a conspiracy against Forest. I think the club has lost the plot.

We’ve had some stinking decisions against us this season, but at no point have I ever been thought it was a conspiracy.

agreenwood

Bit of a stretch to suggest a) the VAR official was biased and b) he was biased against Forest in a game vs Everton. Only 1 point between them as the game kicked off. Both eminently catchable by Luton, particularly as Luton still have Everton to play.

agreenwood

Forest’s twitter account has been overtaken by their crazy owner..

agreenwood

Not sure I fancy Everton here either. Hope I’m wrong.

agreenwood

None of those 7 matches were against teams in the upper echelons of the PL Table and 3 were against sides currently in the bottom 6. The next 3 fixtures against sides currently in the top 7 will give a truer picture of whether the apparent improvement in the level of performance can be translated i...

agreenwood

Can’t help but like him. Just seems like a genuinely pleasant character.

agreenwood

Esteve’s a budding leader too. Whilst his teammates were celebrating the third goal he was going round them all telling them to focus (or something similar). Seen him do it quite a bit.

Nice to see. We don’t appear to have too many of those vocal leaders in the side.

agreenwood

He's a pretty ginormous one, even with the cock ups. The team is much more spread out in possession and we can stretch the pitch and pass out (minus the odd cockup) to much greater effect. Muric gets the most out of Cullen as well for me and their partnership helps get us ticking. Can chalk the upt...

agreenwood

Mad what a change of keeper can do for a team... I agree-ish, because he’s also cost us points in two big games and even yesterday he mixed in some lapses with some brilliant saves. We may not have stayed up, but we’d probably have more points had Muric been in goal. He’s not the only factor in our...

agreenwood

Well we can put this to bed.

Small wins.

agreenwood

When you listen to him it’s amazing to think he’s been in charge at not one, but two Premier League clubs.

agreenwood

Matt Williams gave an interview to Radio Lancs in early Feb and said Esteve will become permanent in the summer regardless of the division we’re in. Assignon’s clause only kicks in if we stay up he said. Think it was reported separately as €10m. If we go down it’s hard to see him wanting to play in ...

agreenwood

Odobert might not have been at his best but 5s? He turned the game in our favour with the great run for the first goal, picking it up off the defence and running all the way up. I wish Berge would do this. He's capable. There was a guy two rows behind me who was giving Odobert dogs abuse early in t...

There he is for you.

To be clear - he wasn’t bad. Just can’t think of anything good or bad to say. Didn’t really notice him.

agreenwood

Would need to retrieve him from Esteve’s pocket first.

agreenwood

Muric 7 - Typical Muric performance. Some top saves, some fantastic distribution and then three horror passes that on another day could have been costly. Assignon 8 - Played a part in their goal, but otherwise solid and his most effective game going forward. Taylor 7 - The other culprit in their go...

This thread is a classic example of people jumping on a negative without any context. The article (which I’ve actually read) is about common combinations ie the most frequently combining pairs in each team to get a ball into the box. For example Odegaard to Saka is Arsenals. This doesn’t mean that B...

agreenwood

It’s an odd outlook on football to watch two mega-wealthy, modern-day giants clash and somehow come out criticising the team who attempted to attack and play football, whilst lauding a team that put in the kind of performance that had me yearning for the return of the away goal rule.

agreenwood

Shame about West. When you pay a fee for a youth player you expect it to work out a bit more. It’d be interesting to see the outcome stats on PL and Champ clubs signing players playing adult football and then chucking them into their youth teams. Even where these players are playing non-league foot...

But none of them were fouls, were they? Stood on his heel, but I think ref gave it for second one and then got off the hook by way of the first one being the actual foul. Sky making out that he was playing advantage and brought it back for first foul, but there’s no way you play advantage when the ...
