Think people are forgetting that players will probably have release clauses, especially if we go down. So we may struggle to keep Fossy, Luca and Wilson in particular. Don't forget there's the whole of Europe for them to go.

summitclaret

His confidence was destroyed by being played at left back instead of Taylor. Then right back. There's a player in there somewhere.

summitclaret

The main reason to remain positive is Foster. Makes a massive difference. Pace, strength and getting a good conversion rate.

Of course we are more likely to go down, but in Trafford, Foster, Amdouni, LK and Odobert We have good assets. Next time we need to sort the back 4 and defensive midfield.

Whose gonna mark McGinn's arse?

summitclaret

I was extremely excited when I heard the news that Sheffield had accepted a bid from us. I felt that was a tipping point in our prospects. Still may be. I do think though that we have half a dozen equally talented players, albeit some of those are younger and haven’t yet figured out how to make the...

It's more important that Jones doesn't ref anyone.

summitclaret

Looks like another nothing learnt week, with a likely being overrun in cm due to the obsession with playing 2 wingers who stay out wide and ZA in a role noone unders.

summitclaret

I think he'll start last weeks team with just Taylor back in. Same old tippy tappy pathetic defending,same old sideways and backwards passing, same pathetic corners, same uninspiring set pieces,same old abysmal throw-ins,same lame misjudged substitutions, same excuses post match. Might be wrong tho...

What attributes have you seen that make you think he could or should be used in the Rodri role? He reads the game well and I think that would enable us to defend better, like we did when Cock was playing regularly. In a 4141 or 4132. He is confident in possession and can dribble well and his passin...

summitclaret

He is a very good footballer and when we finally use him in the Rodri role he will be very much sought after.

summitclaret

I thought our subs yesterday were even worse than normal, which is incredible. Foster for Jay was worth a try Bringing on Al Dakhil and putting him full back, rather than Roberts, was mind boggling. Waiting until the 82nd minute to bring Benson on - words fail me. However, none of that compares with...

Bottom 5 after today COULD be

Forest 14
Everton 13
Burnley 11
Luton 9
Sheff U 8

Gotta think positive

And our future in own hands, apart from overcoming a minus 4 gd over Forest.

Tarkowski is destined to score even though he missed quite a few sitters for us from set pieces

It's more than that. He sets up others from set pieces. We need someone who can compete with him aerially and imo its only Ekdal.

Whoever’s up against McNeil has a huge part to play I reckon.

Agreed, along with who is marking Tarks at set pieces, which is why Ekdal needs to start.

summitclaret

He’s not wrong with what he says We already know that he tried to sign players like Maatsen last summer, but some people are acting like it’s their first transfer window and they didn’t know that not all deals get done You've completely missed the point. There's no excuse for the inbalance in the l...

and it's a load of bull.

How can he say that when we are so short of full backs, defensive cm and up top? I wish reporters would ask the right questions and follow ups.

summitclaret

Trafford
Beyer O'Shea Ekdal Delcroix
JBG Berge Brownhill
Amdouni J Rod Odobert

We need height, to control midfield and be in the game with 20 minutes left.

summitclaret

Brilliant championship player, but not good enough for the prem. He will run himself into the ground for us which I appreciate, but technically he's lacking and he can't take a decent free kick or corner. Not many can. That is obviously not one of his many strengths. The mind boggles as to why he i...

summitclaret

Re ZA. i think his best position for us would be on the right of a front 3 in a 433. Think when he nearly scored against WHU cutting in from the central right. Think that would also work with an overlapping right back.

Then he could be subbed late on for Benny if we are chasing a game.

Your chance of finding out the truth in either UK or US is approximately zero

I would suggest that there is as much chance of getting to the truth here as there is anywhere else in the world.

summitclaret

I think a lot of people on here are overlooking the fact that whether we agree or disagree with VK, we got the result we wanted. How many games have we just crumbled under pressure and yesterday we came through a storm and showed we can come away with a point. I still don't think we are good enough...

without wanting to **** on the chips I genuinely thought Ramsay for JBG was a complete head scratcher He's clearly putting people on to give them game time instead of putting the best option on. He played Ramsey out of position against Mitoma when he had Redmond or JBL or even Roberts he could have...

There are ACLs and ACLs but nine months often seems to be the benchmark. But then some players get back to full fitness quicker than others. Whatever. It's crap for him and for us. TBH with the other teams winning (Bournemouth last night) the wall is gradually being covered in writing. I think we c...

According to this it's a 70% increase on live coverage. So if there is a 4% revenue increase as per CT's post, the product value has slumped, especially as it's a 4 year deal and there's been high inflation. Wonder if Amazon etc. bid?

summitclaret

Surely we all know exactly what we are going to get today. An aerial assault. If VK doesn't set us up to deal with that, then he will have lost the plot. Playing Vitineo at rb today would be suicide. I think Beyer would make a good rb and a good sitter in front of a back 4. He is not physical enough...

I’d be interested to see either of them at fullback for this one as well.

Still have to play our game but minimising their chance of success with a slight personnel tweak seems sensible

Plus Ekdal would be a lot more of a threat at our corners

summitclaret

Ekdal at cb. Put Beyer or O'Shea at rb. Vitineo will be mullered by Robinson and the rest at the back post, from cross after cross after cross.

summitclaret

The problem is the way it's being done. Keeping 2 way traffic on Yorkshire Steet except where physically impossible should have been top priority. It just has not been. The work appears to have been strung out over the full length, when short sections should have been used. As I said earlier, once t...

summitclaret

Nothing wrong with him and could well prove to be a great signing IN THE FUTURE. Just not a priority signing last window. Same as Trafford and a few others. We needed a better balance between the above sort of signings and oven ready players to get us established back in the PL. If we'd have had Pop...

summitclaret

I think it may all unfold next Saturday if he picks a team of midgets against SU. If he plays Vitineo at rb, we will be under massive aerial assault at the back post. Assuming we can right off Cork for whatever reason, then he's got to do something different. I think Ekdal has to start at cb. Weird ...

I’m not really Kompany Out, but it’s hard right now. He’s so determined to play this style, and his recruitment as been shocking really overall. The fact he’s committed the club to almost £100m in the process really has me wondering at what point do the owners pull the trigger? It’s getting embarra...

summitclaret

Because we have too many similar players that he has to keep happy somehow and no ratters in cm or dominant defenders.

summitclaret

Having walked through today. Absolutely no need for one way traffic on Yorkshire Street.

summitclaret

I do. He can defend and is our best corner taker and crosser atm.

summitclaret

I think there is adequate legislation. The issue is how LCC enforce it.

summitclaret

I can't believe that the footway work in Yorkshire Street can't be done whilst keeping 2 way traffic. Just needs a bit of thought and more flexibility about fencing signing.

We didn't get promoted too early. We have completely messed up our recruitment, to follow a venture capitalist approach. Additionally, we have signed far too many wingers and still not replaced Cork. In particular, our ability to defend is hopeless. Also, we are too easily bullied all over the pitch...

summitclaret

And there we see our problem. Our keeper and defence compares poorly with 21/22.

summitclaret

Mark men not zones and get enough men around our keeper to stop the opposition blocking him off.

Our recruitment is borderline mismanagement when you look at the gaps still in the squad, now we are linked with another winger, I cba with January tbh.

It's worse than that. He's making unnecessary subs just to try and keep a few wingers a bit happy.

When Jack came on at Everton with just few minutes to go it was greeted with cheers from the Burnley fans that were every bit as pointed as the cheering of Muric every single time he touched the ball. With Muric, it was like that at Forest and at Salford too. That's a shame. The more they do it the...
