Just a bit of humour pal. When you grow up you'll realise there's more to a footy forum than just squabbling and childish emoji's.

For now you though you just keep on keeping on #sucker!!

Remind me when this humour from you starts.

I'll look out for it.

Maybe next time think twice about scoffing at other peoples opinions and ideas especially when you're not too clever yourself.

I think he means from the previous board.

Possibly, but was it over cautiousness or did we simply not have that amount of cash for serious investment in the squad?

fidelcastro

The lack of investment has finally caught up with us. So much going for us, but SD cannot continue doing the impossible, and his huge loyalty in players is now having an impact. Surprised Woan and Stones all think the same way, or are they SD YES men Lack of investment? According to some, Cornet an...

fidelcastro

To be fair earlier in this thread you labelled playing Cornet upfront as a crackpot idea and was thankful that those suggesting this were not our manager. Well I guess Dyche must have weighed up your opinion with that of the crackpots and sided with the crackpots Wow... he briefly played as a strik...

fidelcastro

He was quite clearly playing central in the 2nd half with Mcneil on the left and Brownhill on the right. You'd genuinely argue black is white though so I'm not surprised If you bother to note the time, you'll notice I made the post about about him not tracking back based on his first half performan...

I could equally say the same about you, we can snipe at each other or leave aside the unpleasantries & have a sensible discussion just an idea or maybe I'm wasting my time.

I don't believe I've ever distorted the truth, but I can't be bothered arguing with you either.

fidelcastro

Ok then I'm wrong & nobody ever posts any ******** on the internet you win. Nobody knows apart from the player & whoever that player chooses to tell maybe an agent & family close friends & people who work in the finance department at BFC & whoever they tell, if people leak information anybody can a...

Incidentally, why are certain posters on here privy to the wages of our players?

Collins as CDM?

Just when you thought Dyche losing the dressing room was the silliest comment tonight.

fidelcastro

I think Dyche has lost the dressing room. We are no longer hard to beat and the players look lack lustre nearly every game. Difficult to see who we can beat in this league at the moment That surely means that we must be a very good team to still pick up draws at places like Leicester and Southampto...

Because they enabled us to win unlikely games away at Liverpool/Everton/Arsenal, read my post you boring mutt

I read it perfectly well. Decisions happen in every game.
I don't know why you've mentioned them, unless we got on the right side of some bad officiating.

fidelcastro

That's what I find most concerning. The defence have been really, really poor this season, but the midfield have also been lacking, and the strikers haven't exactly been firing. Wood is woefully out of form again. The bright spark has undoubtedly been Cornet. So yes, all departments need to improve...

I thought we were incredibly fortunate last season, 3 really poor sides below us and no fans in the ground/decisions enabled us to nick wins at Everton/Liverpool/Arsenal.

The correct decisions, you mean?

fidelcastro

I put on the other thread that it doesn't bear thinking that we could have played 10 games without a win. I dread to think how many teams have done that and survived. One or two may have done, but probably with a change of manager. We aren't going to do that, and nor should we, in my opinion, but w...

fidelcastro

Some will say that it is still early in the season, but given that we haven't won yet, and the home record is really poor, surely we simply have to end this hoodoo next week, otherwise it's going to be a long hard winter. As much as I can't think of another manager more capable than Dyche of keeping...

How about playing the wide right talent Roberts? He can play infront of Matt Lowton
But the real question is why wasn't Wood and Cork hooked at half time and Vyds and Pieters on.?

Pieters in midfield?

No thanks.

You said yourself it was a lucky point yet here you are arguing because I said we were out of depth for large parts.

No. You said we were out of our depth. You didn't even say for large parts, just that we were out of our depth.

fidelcastro

We couldn't keep the ball, they missed glorious chances and a wondergoal from nothing nicked us a hard fought point. We are quite used to not having a lot of the ball. That's how we've largely played at this level since promotion. Yes, they missed chances, particularly first half, but then it's a d...

Pope 6
Lowton 7
Collins 7
Tarkowski 5
Taylor 6
McNeil 7
Cork 5
Brownhill 6
Westwood 5
Cornet 8
Wood 6

Brentford now becomes a must win game now, inyou opinion. This was a hard fought, and perhaps lucky point, but i'll take it after a patchy performance.

Another game without a win and a pretty poor performance, looked out of our depth.

How were we out of our depth when we've come away with a hard fought point?

The point further up the thread was about was he capable of…I think you must admit now that he is.

See my post above.

Perhaps he should if he's the kind of wide player who doesn't track back.

Didn’t look wide left to me when he was nodding that one in.

It still doesn't mean he's playing as a striker, because he isn't!

The problems down their right are largely coming from him not tracking back.

Looks a better player than Mee has this season, I'd have Pieters and Collins in regardless of the fitness of the other two.

Thankfully, you're not the manager.

The record book will show that Barnes has played 185 PL games so far, not bad for someone who is "not PL class" Vokes played 107 games for Burnley in the PL. Whilst you may not consider them PL class they haven't done too badly. I did say that they are PL class by our standards, I think we all acce...

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Marco Boogers and Ali Dia played PL football. Were they PL quality?

fidelcastro

I disagree, both have served us well in the PL, within our standards. I'm sure when we get relegated plenty outside our fan base will say we've found our level too ;) Served us well by what? Playing games? That's what they're paid to do. Neither of the two players you mentioned are PL quality in my...

Not really the point I was making.
The idea that a player "has found his level" in the Championship is clearly flawed, I believe some may have said it about Aslhey Barnes and Sam Vokes at certain stages of their careers.

And they'd have been correct.

fidelcastro

Solanke was a teenager in the PL.... One came through the best youth team in the country and has been the main striker for England at every youth level. The other came through at Cambridge. Wood is effective at scoring 10 goals a season, in terms of raw ability he's a million miles behind Solanke. ...

He didn’t punch him, more of a push but watch the lads head snap back when he makes contact.

I don't think the average rugby player would go down like that after being pushed by a teammate.
