The last two goals we have conceded are down to Muric's lack of concentration, nothing else.
For all the weak performances we've seen from Trafford I really don't think he'd have messed up as Muric has in these last 2 games

I thought it was all about his name: Jay calling him Pong?

For what reason?

I think it would be good to take Trafford out of the firing line. I also think it would help his development.
Muric would start as No1.
Cooper is excellent, and would provide a serious challenge to Muric.

Just no.

Especially not for the Champ seen as we had the best one in the division last time that is... still on our books.

If I was in charge

I'd try to get Trafford a season loan in Europe.
I'd also be keen on Cooper from Plymouth

Barnes was injured. Foster isn't as far as I'm aware.

Yes, that is correct, but those giving AB stick didn't know it at the time.

There's certain things that he has the ability to control, his fitness being the main one and at the moment he isn't anywhere near fit enough to play Premier League football which to me says a lot.

Do you not remember the stick Ashley Barnes got when playing despite being not fully fit?

From my memory muric made 2 good saves from headers and the static defending led to the follow ups going in

From memory Sheff Utd bullied our entire defence.
This season we totally outplayed them, let's hope we do it again.

boatshed bill

I’m personally of the opinion neither are great at the moment, (defo not top level). But I suspect Trafford will go on to have a better career. He’s already ahead of Muric. I’m pretty certain neither will end up playing regular champions league football unless at some crap team like Celtic. For onc...

I think the whole thing is daft, but I wouldn't boo it.

boatshed bill

There's literally 0 point in doing so at this point. If anything, we need to throw even more caution to the wind on the off chance that we win 3+ of our remaining games. We will only win taking big chances and trying to take the game to the opposition. Possibly, but accepting that level of careless...

Go on then, drop him so we can continue on the trajectory towards survival that we most definitely were not on before his return to the team.

I have to say that as an ex goalkeeper I would expect to be dropped for the 2 errors

boatshed bill

Based on Trafford had 28 games to show if he was up to the premier league so based on that muric should be given the same amount of games. Muric should have started the season and had the errors piled up and his passing stats dropped and the overall play dropped then Trafford comes in, you won’t ev...

I hope some of you cope with life better than you do with football setbacks

Defeat at football when not capable of doing anything abot it is just about the ultimate frustration for many.
Often resulting in a huge loss of testosterone.
Please show some pity

Norris doesn’t play for Burnley you bath bomb

Agree peacock-Farrell has never had a chance he should still be number 2 behind muric

No need to be (vaguely) offensive... not that I care if you are.
But the point is that the number of games played doesn't necessarily define a player's ability.

Simple muric has 23 more games to go before there should even be a conversation about Trafford coming back in the side

So how many games did you give Peacock-Farrell or Norris?

He’s clearly not suitable for premier league football (not saying Trafford is either)

Concentration is an issue.
It will be interesting to see if players lose confidence in passing back to AR. If they do then one of his best attributes won't be any use.

Perhaps, if we are relegated before the end of the season, we'll get to find out.

Please add weird team selection and tactics including substitutions which have all been a huge contributing factor.

Weird selections that have had us in with a very good chance of winning the last 6 games?

Did anyone else notice today as Fofana was coming off after being substituted Foster held out his had to Fofana and Fofana totally blanked it, something isn't right. Fofana is rubbish, can't even knock in a tap in. Foster has been moved to accomodate Fofana. I can only imagine that the loan deal in...

I thought that was how they were going, with chips in both boots.

So definitely foot positions only for offsides?
Couldn't VAR do that without chips?
I prefer Saute potatoes meself, but would they fit in he boots?

His career earnings I think are around $150 million dollars plus. His final 2 year contract was $35 million dollars. Its mega money for a sports star.

He should be suspended for going into the tackle with the wrong foot.

I don't know. As I said, you'd have to have a second criterion with some kind of judgement on how many goals were caused by the style of football.

I mean stats can be difficult to prove anything one way or another but my feeling is that if Dyche had asked Pope to play out with his feet Popey would have conceded at lot of stupid goals and would probably be playing for Rotherham Utd now not Newcastle United. It wrecked his England career in 90 ...

Just had a look at those minutes conceded.

So it just feels like we aren’t good enough. Nothing to do with what we do at certain points in the game.

That's it in a nutshell.

boatshed bill

Are we committed to playing Fofana if he's fit?

boatshed bill

A lot of things can be coached, I don't think concentration on the football pitch is one.

boatshed bill

I've just watched the match replay.
Can't see the difference between these fouls: Gomez on Odobert, Tarkowski on Esteve, and the O'Shea sending off incident.

Well didn't Luton actually sign a couple of players at the start of the season?

Again going in 0-0 at half time doesn’t guarantee we draw or win the game come the end of the game does it?

It's more than a tad better than going in one down.
Their finishing is no better than ours, so we give them a goal.

How is that an argument? Yet again I’ll ask, how is it muric fault the attackers can’t score. He could start 15 attacks a game but if the attackers aren’t good enough that’s not his fault.

I think you have got that pretty spot on. Take away our abysmal results this season, our discipline is the ultimate sign of sloppiness and you could even argue a lack of professionalism.
