We are probably going where we should not go, posting about mental health.
Plenty of people who suffer from depression learn how to live with it and can hold down their jobs perfectly well.

Not enough research goes into signing these players, take foster for example the amount of games he's missed for whatever reason(s) & that's being sympathetic to his problems but for a team fighting relegation you simply cannot afford to have your star striker missing for so long. I get your point,...

boatshed bill

It's manageable if you get somebody continually picking up the tab until the deal finishes that seems to be the way to go. I don't think some of the signings are researched thoroughly enough & carry baggage. Possibly, or maybe he just didn't like it when he got here. I doubt we could recoup much of...

Very constructive. So how would you describe Kompany’s stellar signings then? Trafford, Amdouni, Ramsey, Tresor et.al.

"with us"?

Odobert goal from France u23 v Ivory Coast

3-2 victory for the French

Not great from the keeper, but good for Odobert

boatshed bill

That's good because Weghorst isn't that sort of player and doesn't play that way. His game is about coming deep, linking play. Like we've seen Kane do. His height is a red herring. I seem to be in the minority but I rate him and think he'd be a big asset for us. Although we'll never see it and I do...

And what is that exactly ? Not having a dig at you BB. But we are all a bit bereft of what our style is right now The issue with Wout was attitude imo I don't see us knocking it up to a big CF as a main tactic. Looking at Fofana and Foster, I'd say our requirement up front is a far more mobile play...

He would have a Mitrovic-esque season in the Championship with the right service, I actually believe that.

Just a shame he thinks he’s too good too play at that level.

Wouldn't sit our style of play anyhow.

By all means crack on if you want to blame VAR for all our woes & pretty much everything that happens under the sun I'm not stopping you.

You've just said that, not me.
You said it's a fact that these things even themselves out. Back that up with some facts, I really want to believe you.

Roughly yes unless you can name 1 team that experiences all the bad luck without giving examples of any good luck. I know it's a common belief especially on here that we are hard done by but in reality we are architectures of our own downfall. VAR didn't decide that we didn't sign Andros Townsend, ...

Assuming Forest get a 4 point FFP penalty, 30 points will be enough to stay up.

Have we got enough to get 13 points.....4 wins and a draw.....I doubt it but you never know......

What if Luton get 9?

I am not a huge fan of Muric, but for heaven's sake why did it take until 28th game to play him when you look at the goals conceded by our defence. Muric needs to play now unless he has at least two stinkers in a row If Muric has 2 stinkers in a row resulting in 2 defeats we'd just as well give Vig...

Watch the Luton game again and when Trafford got fouled he had both feet on the ground nowhere near the ball.. that’s what I’m saying ..

Sometimes, size matters. It just does.

You seriously think Trafford is taller than Muric?

Trafford has to be a couple of inches shorter.
But as a poster pointed out months ago, shoulder height matters more than actual height..

One player (defender!) at £20 million would have made more sense!

Wouldn't have improved our goal tally much though.

Truth is it's virtually impossible to rebuild a squad capable of competing above the bottom 5...6 in the PL on what we have spent.

Dream on bill about us not being down. We could have spent the same amount of money and brought in experienced players instead of one or two of these ill equipped ' players of the future' as you call them. The lack of PL quality has cost us dearly. Go on then just for fun, name me 20 players at an ...

I'm sure they've made it easier, like originally it was any part of the leg if the backpass was deemed intentional then the keeper couldn't handle it?

No. With these players no manager would have kept us up. The wrong players are at a club expecting to remain in the top division So many changes in 3 windows, obviously on what would (by anyone with a brain) be seen as a very low spend in PL terms. We've tried to bring in young players as investmen...

The Muric Trafford debate does not interest me. However its unbelievable that it took until 29 game of our season to try a new GK, when we have conceded so many goals and lost 20 games. VK needs to be made accountable for this , alongside giving Cullen the cold shoulder for so long, Think Trafford ...

boatshed bill

No chance. We nearly threw it away against 10 men and that would not have surprised me as the die has already been cast. I'm happy with the 3 points obviously and Kompany having the courage to admit he needed to change goalkeepers. Other than that we still have too much inexperience and mistakes wa...

Might be Monday for the big decision but the Prem won't want to lose Everton and Forest, so say minus 6 points then an appeal might see them both be given just enough points to keep them both up.

But we will be back in the scramble, I'm optimistic.

Better player than lots give him credit for, just needs to cut out the errors of judgement. Will be awesome next season.

Forever remember one game against I want to say City or Villa where he was pegging it to a loose ball in their third and his top speed looked like he was in slow motion. Loved Boyd but he wasn't exactly a dynamic counter attacker

Yes, I loved him too. Really important player for us at the time.

We'd do it most of the time when we broke. Boyd did it a lot. Rarely the last kick of the game but every little helps at a 1 goal lead.

Boyd was doing it all game, whether we were winning or not
