It really isn’t though, I think I was right in suggesting it is there for the taking. We’ve been spoilt with seeing so many foreign players, first for others in the PL, now for us. The rest in this league just look lumbering and skill less (on average) with only the odd exception. Last night I saw ...

2 points per game the target and nobody is beating that now.

Never seen a league so there for the taking, not a reference to us just to how poor the league is.

Or you could say how good and competitive it is.

Joe Hart & Robinson in their earlier years, but I’d have him over all of them in their Burnley years with the way we are set up to play. No question about it

I agree, reputation means nothing. It's what they achieved with BFC that matters.

Of course you are entitled to your opinion on Muric, but come on.
Are you seriously telling me that every goalkeeper on this list is better than Muric?
Jensen, Penny, Grant, Cisak, Robinson, Hart, Peacock-Farrell, Norris, Hennessey.

I remember that.

You’d hope he would. If I were VK I’d be on the phone to Billy Mercer to get him to work his magic on dominating the box! Short term contract before he gets a job at NFFC!

You might, but i wouldn't.

The manager brings on 3 and changes the play. Nothing to do with Barnes. Manager responsible for putting opposition on front foot. That is absolute rubbish. Cardiff stepped up their game (actually I thought they were competitive throughout the game), it happens. sometimes you have to give credit to...

Bizarre that this need explaining Yes, he was a great player for us Guess what?

For their goal on Saturday, he looked to me to react as if he thought it was going wide. Any goalkeeper worth their salt should, and could, have saved that header.

I thought he should have got that one, but I'm not up for this constant criticism of our goalkeeper.

Diego Penny.

I'd suggest that if we are top 6 by January and can do a bit in the market then, we have every chance of being good enough.

Don’t think I’ve said anywhere that I expect teams to lie down and let us beat them. Or that I expect us to beat teams. Just that we don’t look good enough to do it on merit at the moment.

I don't recall quoting you.
Chill out, enjoy the football, it's not at all bad and we can't win them all.

Isn't it amazing that these 2nd tier clubs don't just lie down and let us batter them.

Thing that worries me is that we’ve only played 3 teams in the top half of the league.

So we haven't had chance to beat them yet

It’s a fair point that a game isn’t won after scoring. And I think our biggest issue is that we just don’t look like scoring enough. Possession wise we look great but not really threatening enough in any game but Wigan. If we’re not going to score more than once we need to be stronger at the back a...

But any cross or corner into our box seems to cause problems and until that gets resolved I can't see how we can take the steps to automatic promotion. The concern is that we aren't improving in defence. You are right. We've lost from last season's defence 2 internationals and the club skipper... c...

Tbh, thought that play on the right (overload with Brownhill) was the first time anything looked likely to happen from that side. But it was good play when it came.

Of course a player and his agent are going to accept an option in said player's favour... But that will have been when he signed his last contract, where many on here thought he was still good enough for the PL, never mind this level.

it's not Barnes' s fault, but he is past his best.
I blame whoever gave him a season extension on his contract.

Was poor for the entire game, bar the goal which was a lovely bit of play out of nowhere. The first half was essentially 45 minutes of THB and Taylor passing it to each other, and the second half was us taking the lead then electing to sit and defend and play on the break. We made three substitutio...

For the defence it now seems par for the course. Concede a poor goal pretty much every game.

Muric
Beyer
THB
Taylor
Maatsen
Cork
Cullen
Benson
Brownhill
Tella
Rodriguez

Roberts played 2x 90 minutes in the international break so give him a rest and try Beyer in that role (assuming CT is fit).

Most likely,I'd say.
Oops, Egan Riley for Beyer

The thing with Pope is that he'd make a save that many others including Muric will never be capable of. He had an uncanny knack of sticking out a boot and deflecting almost certain goals the other side of the post for a corner. It seems in this day and age being a very good goal keeper and being a ...

Cullen booked for kicking the ball away and immediately commits a foul that could, it would have been harsh, seen him off. His disciplinary record needs sorting out. They all seem to be pointless yellows to me.

Nothing like Westwood then?
