We absolutely won't need both of them in the Championship, we didn't this season. Massive waste of resources. I like Trafford and think too much too soon has been a big mistake. Muric playing means we don't have to try and play through a press, so he has to start. Ideally will stay up and loan Traf...

NewClaret

I suspect we may be fielding a £10m - £15m bid for Muric now he has proven himself. In that situation we would probably not stand in his way. You see, that makes me feel physically sick. I honestly think he is one of the best keepers in the league. I’d rate him more highly than Onana, for sure, and...

There are a few who have been missing from the end of March but have "last active 14th April" agaist their names

Is that when Tony banned them?

NewClaret

Muric's presence on corners and crosses has also been a massive plus for us too. He can be wayward but it's still so much more than what we were getting from Trafford. His distribution can be off, but it's high risk so it's going to be on occasion - the speed of his distribution and ability to find...

NewClaret

We were repeatedly told Trafford was picked for his shot stopping ability but Murics has been another level to Traffords since his return, the strange thing is his distribution is what makes us tick but is what's let him down at times. Berge gets better every week as does Esteve. If we could just a...

I’ve just bought a ticket and I’m no geordie

Good to hear it

NewClaret

Don't know why there's no points requirement? After the trouble at the Everton game they started using a 10, 20, 30 points requirement for forthcoming home games. Me either Leisure. I want every seat filled and the club to take as much money as possible, but not at the risk of having away fans in h...

NewClaret

Think it might only be 2 that have gone.

Why on earth haven’t the club got a minimum purchase history on this game though?

Absolutely crazy in such a vital game for us. I’d rather have empty seats than geordies (who are a nice bunch, don’t get me wrong, but not what we need in a vital game).

NewClaret

For me, the only ways these clubs could be fined as a punishment; would be if the fine is then split amongst other teams in the league. Therefore effectively if they cheat, it benefits their opponents too. That's the only way I can see it ever being stopped. The problem is, let’s say they cheat and...

NewClaret

Surely the sensible option would be to say to any transgressors that your penalty is a loss of say 10 points. But as you cooperated and pleaded guilty that will drop to 6 points. But if you appeal this decision it goes back up to 10 points or even 12 with a further appeal not an option. Some intere...

NewClaret

Just cannot see anything other than a Forest win.

Sheffield’s confidence is shot, loads of key injuries, they’ve nothing to play for and Forest are much stronger even with their injuries today - with everything to play for.

Hope I’m really, really wrong.

NewClaret

I still see him in the Rodri role for us. As regards keeping a big squad happy it's our own fault. We signed too many players/wingers. If we go down it's a big worry. I am convinced VK pizzed about with playing people like Ramsey when they clearly weren't ready imo to keep them happy. Agree on the ...

Still, let’s not tempt fate!!!

NewClaret

Just how boring are City ? Depends if you find a winning machine boring? I find us a bit like them in certain games. Think what you have to do is understand it for what it is, which is basically defending with the ball, being patient, not expecting every attack to be the one you can score from, the...

GET IN!!! 0-2 Haaland

Bloody hell, city making me a nervous wreck here.

NewClaret

Have to say, I’m really disappointed in this news, I think he’s a cracking player. In some ways, better than what we have for the Championship where we’ll need our central defenders to progress in to midfield. I also find it strange as Kompany has never struck me as the type of person that would rus...

NewClaret

Good stuff. Keep City’s minds focussed.

NewClaret

Our biggest problem is that Forest will only be deducted 2 points instead of 4 on their appeal.🥺 Yes, I think that’s the most likely outcome. I don’t think the premier league really want any club to go down as a result of a points deduction. At the time a 4 point deduction probably felt safest on t...

How did we not play Muric and Cullen !!!! Both been superb since they came back Nicest possible way, built he did start with Cullen and he was crap. He brought him back in when: - We’d signed Esteve - We’d signed Assingnon - O’Shea had improved massively - Muric had returned in nets Now he looks be...

I would suggest Vinny might owe the fans a few more apologies with selection than that.

Only one he owes an apology about is Muric.

Any fans suggesting Zaroury should be playing in the Premier League owe him an apology on that one.

NewClaret

Not been that good, by all accounts.

Few apologies to Kompany needed by those saying he should be playing earlier in the season, I think.

NewClaret

When we played Man Utd last season in the cup I thought Maatsen and Benson were the two players that really didn’t look out of place against PL opposition. Agree with this, I thought they looked scared of him that day. I’d like to see him off the bench tomorrow on that basis. Always think we look m...

I agree. The kit is offensive, hence post removed.

Basically for the protection of fellow clarets

Note they’ve put all of the kits on sale this year but didn’t last. I hope this means they’ve hardly sold and it causes them to put some more effort in to next years designs!

NewClaret

I think it might’ve been for encouraging the purchase of that god awful kit

Speaking from experience working for a number of American companies, they generally seem to make up new job roles, become top heavy and then make redundancies or move folk on 12 months later.

Wow. Outstanding result. Many thanks and well done JJ. Must’ve shifted some caps.

NewClaret

If you follow these things closely, and I am aware that some do much more closely than I, the turnover feels quite high and there is very little comment on almost any arrival or departure, I could make a reference to the wall of silence on a number of things at the club, and there are many, but in ...

I might be ignorant but what exactly is a Chief of Staff? That’s a good question and in lots of places I have worked the role of a CoS has been very different. So on my relatively narrow experience I’d say there’s no one definition of the role. I think traditionally they are a fixer, problem solver...

if they thought they were important players why was it first game against City all those players were sat on the bench looking at a bunch of kids who stepped in there shoes after what they did last season for our club, should have shown a little bit of loyalty not just Benson but the rest, yes i kn...

plus i would like to know the reason behind him and Zaroury signing new contracts if they are not going to play as there value would plummet..

I understand why he doesn't start games but in certain games we've been crying out for some creativity, a goal or something different especially on the right wing and he's stayed sat on the bench with baffling subs used instead of him....this is what I don't understand.

We might appear to have the toughest fixtures but it's not a bad time to play any of Utd, Newcastle or Spurs. Getting something Saturday is paramount for confidence.

For the same reason Muric was not involved until match 28, same reason Cullen was frozen out until a Brownhill sending off forced VK to pick him, same reason Roberts was sent to Leeds.

I think he's been mixed and has made some ludicrous errors (West Ham away particularly, but luckily wasn't punished) and shown himself to make silly/needless fouls - HOWEVER - he's really good going forward and has certainly improved week by week.

On the run in, I just cannot see it. Luton’s fixtures are too easy to pass them both and Forest will beat Sheff U.

It will take the miracle of all footballing miracles to save us.

SO SO SO frustrating that we’d be a love both of them now were it not for terrible VAR decisions.

NewClaret

This is of course true and I would support us over anyone else, but IF we don’t do it, I’d love Luton to. We can’t have the kind of behaviour we see from Forest (who wanted their statement to go out at half time apparently, during the last match, according to The Times). I’d love Luton to stay up. ...

I'd say any reasonable person would move one seat to the left or right to accommodate that.

So do I, but I would maybe ask the club if they could contact them first? Sure they’ll try to help to sell two ST’s?

NewClaret

Whether he made contact or didn’t he got away with it because he was being pulled back and was brushing him off. For a player that’s been accused of play acting it was great to see him not go down and crack on with the game.

all the available seats showing now will be all seats not taken by season ticket holders, they will be a limit to how many season tickets they can sell to allow for so many walk-ons.
