The only good news from that I take from this, is that despite their positive comments about VAR, it’s obvious that they’re starting to realise how badly it has been received by fans. I’m for it, if it’s a) only used for ‘clear and obvious’ (not off sides that need to be looked at numerous times and...

What I would like to know - why the bloody hell do Sky still have BBC 1 HD on the second page and SD as number 1. This is the Sky HD box, not Sky Q, but come on. It's 2019.

Switching from HD to Ultra HD on SKY Sports is definitely better than HD. Quite what 8k will be like, God knows but the current prices are in the small house bracket and with no guarantee that by the 8k content is produced in volume, that the 8k TV’s will be running the right software.

DCWat

Not from what we saw of him yesterday he wouldn’t. As I said - bit unfair to judge him based on him being played centrally alongside Rice for most of the game. He’s one of a small number of West Ham players who would probably work well in our system - he’s prepared to do more of the dirty work and ...

In fairness to him, he was pushed into central midfield for the majority of the game alongside an anonymous Rice.

DCWat

he’s not their best player by any means but Snodgrass would still be a good signing for us.

DCWat

He’s a quality player - when he fancies being. Today was not one of those days. I’m surprised there was any surprise that he was hooked.

DCWat

Tricky one!!

DCWat

Wood, Barnes, Cork, McNeil, Hendrick, Taylor - some very good performances today and those not mentioned put in some fine performances too.

DCWat

If it takes so long to decide, it’s not clear and obvious.

It’s a crap system that needs binning.

DCWat

I suppose that depends to what extent. We’ve Rodriguez and the lesser spotted Vydra in reserve, both of whom would require us to adapt. Most clubs will suffer if they lose their main striker, though I do think that we are ill equipped to deal with a lengthy spell on the sidelines, for Wood. Without ...

DCWat

Why would that be a concern?

Having squad and/or adaptability concerns and being a Premier League club for four seasons are not mutually exclusive.

In fact I’d argue that a greater level of adaptability would aid us in extending that stay beyond four, five or six years.

DCWat

He certainly is.

Our style doesn’t really suit many alternatives, which is a little bit of a concern.

DCWat

Good news - I’m not his greatest fan but can see what he brings to the team (or perhaps more accurately, what we lack when he isn’t there). His record speaks for itself, I just wish he would get himself involved a little more and more than anything, use his size to his advantage a lot more than he d...

It’s perhaps time to up what we are prepared to pay, whilst targeting a substantial profit down the line. That should be our model / aim, alongside a few wise heads. Kalvin Phillips has bags of potential and would likely make us a big profit, as Maddison will with Leicester. There are and have been ...

DCWat

If we started with long term aspirations of making this permanent then so far it's probably worked out as well as it ever could, albeit in a wierd and unplanned way. Drinkwater's stock in the game and at Chelsea has presumably tanked further, which is exactly what we needed to give us a realistic c...

DCWat

Whilst it can’t be argued that so far, Drinkwater’s loan has flopped, I still think that he could turn out to be a great signing for us - be this a loan extension or ultimately a permanent deal.

DCWat

I think we will be fine this season, hopefully around 10th to 12th. A couple of wins in the next few and we are continuing to keep above the point a game mark.

The league will be clearer in a month or so, I reckon.

DCWat

Being a Bradfordian, I dislike (absolutely bloody despise) Bradford City more than I ever will Rovers.

I’d only step inside Valley Parade if Burnley were playing there and wouldn’t dream of contributing a penny towards them otherwise.

It’ll be a sad day when he passes.

The BBC will do well to ever find someone half as good at what they do as Attenborough has been and continues to be.

DCWat

Results wise we don’t have a great record, which I think is the point, as opposed to the performances.

It’s exactly right - picking up wins against those most likely to be in the bottom half is the key.

I’ll be interested to see Sheff United.

I’d hope for six points from four though I’d settle for four.

We will get Watford just as they turn the corner no doubt!!

If he gets the right service, I’d probably agree. It’s his overall contribution that I think can let him down a little too often.

DCWat

I know I'll probably be in the minority but I just don't think Barnes is offering enough to be an automatic starter at present. I'd like to see Wood and Jay given a run of games together. To be fair, I think Barnes tends to offer more than Wood. If Wood isn’t scoring (I know he’s had a couple recen...

DCWat

How far away is Drinkwater? Hoping he can finally start to push for a place.

DCWat

Jay has offered little and Barnes, despite putting himself about and some reasonable movement, hasn’t been particularly effective. Our passing has been the biggest issue, both in terms of the mistakes but also losing possession too readily. Not a poor performance by any means but plenty room for imp...

Oh god, not that respect thing again, I've been hearing that for decades. rugby has always been an elitist game with a miniscule following. No comparison whatsoever with footballing culture is relevant. I think it’s a very apt comparison. Or are you saying that footballers are generally lower class...

Does the club charge for the privilege?

Best thing to do would be to say that from next season all are restricted to the designated game.

Does the FA have a say in the ties that are chosen for television coverage?

Fully agree though that some of the scheduling is a joke.

I’m terrible at remembering games / goals / scorers. A good few goals stand out but who they were against, what season or the final result, I can seldom recall.
