I'd happily have Vokes in for Barnes

Correct me if I am wrong here but I don't think Vokes has scored a goal in open play away from Turf Moor so why would you select him above Barnes who has notched at WHL Anfield and won a penalty at the Emirates?

Two of us are going from Mildenhall Five Ways and Thetford by car. Box of Frogs have you purchased rail tickets already? If not, do you want a lift?

Robinson 5 looked past it and underlined how good Heaton is. However Pope in future please. Lawton 5 last two Swansea goals came from his position. Mee 6 couldn't handle Llorente but brilliant stop on the line. Keane 6 as above, left Lowton to deal with Llorente for goal #1 as per Deeney goal at Wat...

I always reserve judgement on a player until I have seen him for at least half a dozen times. However on today's showing it looks like we bought the wrong player from Norwich as Olsson looked miles better than Brady and only cost £5 million.

ClaretLoup

Yep scored the penalty and prior to that his deflected shot on the turn forced Fabianski into a fantastic save. Also had a good headed chance as he got in front of his marker but heading is not really his strong point. Scored a great goal and almost set up Vokes with a ball across the six yard box. ...

It's a good point. Really with vs 10 men it was a great chance to get three points. A number of us thought that with Barton in the side it would improve our "game management" patently that didn't happen as we came under immense pressure. On the other hand a lot of the lads were probably dead on thei...

If you look at the pic in the Ben Mee thread there appear to be a couple of players in the line's line of sight. In any case the Arsenal player is probably offside for one second. Not easy to spot & difficult to see in real time even on the tele.

ClaretLoup

I'm not sure we have improved away from home, a loss is still a loss and we don't create more than an odd scoring opportunity. We won't be favourites for any of them and probably won't be picking up too many points unless the 'Keep it tight, don't concede and hope for a draw' tactic is ditched. We ...

Prices are cheaper for away fans in EPL.

ClaretLoup

His vision would have been blocked to the player crossing the ball from the far side of the pitch and as the offending player was offside for a split second, therefore a difficult one to give.

My mum watched a lot of football but it doesn't mean to say she knew a lot about it. Although Messi was her favourite so she was able to identify real talent.

ClaretLoup

If we had Colin Blant marking Sanchez we might have a small chance but down at their place he has been impossible to handle. My hope is that Sean will experiment with three at the back bringing Tarka into the team and try and park the bus. If we go one down switch the full backs for the likes of Boy...

Before we embark on that critical run of six points we have home game vs Leicester. Win that one and we can afford to draw those six pointers and probably be safe.

Re Su'l'an the interest in Brady sure does seem to contradict what Moyes has said previously, but maybe that 4 - 1 whacking has caused them to hit the panic button. Even though they got whacked again on Saturday Moyes did not use any subs. which is a message to the Board isn't it? Also there is an o...

ClaretLoup

I know he is the dirty rat who dived to get the winning penalty for Rovers, but it looks like maybe we missed a trick with Olsson as the consensus amongst Norwich fans seems to be that at £5 Million signing Olsson is a snip for Swansea. I think this underlines another difficulty with the transfer ma...

ClaretLoup

Interesting remark from the Comments section of the Eastern Daily Press, only one man's view of course....... "Martin Olsson the best left back in the championship and our only premiership player and the second left back to Mark Bowen ever to play for Norwich four and a half million .Brady the most ...

ClaretLoup

Just to bring the topic back to it's original theme, it seems that Sunderland are also interested in Brady and seem to think they have good chance of pushing through the deal, as well as signing Jagielka. http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/15027117.Sunderland__David_Moyes_hoping_to_seal_deals_fo...

Adding to the Martin-p list - we "deserved" something out of the game/ to win. The best exponent of this concept being Koemann who said the the result was "unfair" as we had scored more goals than Everton. Perhaps the FA need to introduce some form of handicap system where the team that has played t...

Re Mee's distribution and tendency to launch it, he often does this usually when there is not an easy short available to him.

ClaretLoup

I think ' relentless' is the key word, CT. Just over 58 years since my first visit to the Turf in November 1958 and this is not the best team I've seen by any means but it's probably the toughest and most competitive. Can't agree with that. Sure the present boys are everything you say but that team...

Long was an unused sub yesterday for Fleetwood. They won 3 - 1. I saw Fleetwood recently in FA CUP replay and on the night he didn't stand out from the collection of League One players round him. Too early to write him off however he is not ready for PL football and it would be no surprise if he is ...

The defending was resilient and gave the opposition relatively few clear cut chances compared to the away fixture. We are not so goo a...

He looked like a snooker player thinking about two or three moves ahead so he was always in exactly the right place at the right time. Allied to strong technical skill and athletic prowess. You have the complete player.

Didn't think he was too hot up front though.

You are not David Moyes are you?

What is an expensive footballer? one that costs a lot? considering non of us know what agent fees or wages the players are earning the obvious presumption would be that you meant transfer fees. Unless you are completely speculating on wages/clauses in loan deals (% of wage West Ham pay etc) From Wi...

ClaretLoup

Who did they sign who was expensive? They loaned Zaza, got Feghouli on a free transfer, loaned Tore. Nordveit free transfer, Calleri loan, Arbeloa free transfer, Small fees on Masuaku and Fernandes. The only expensive player they bought in the summer was Andre Ayew from Swansea. Fair point. However...

They looked dire and clueless against Citeh without Payet and Noble. If the latter were to get injured they could well be dragged down into the dogfight. They seemed to have signed a busload of expensive but not very good foreigners.

This would be out of the frying pan and into the fire for Agyei as the situation down here in deepest Suffolk is toxic. The natives are restless and the knives are out for Big Mick. They were outplayed by Lincoln City and were spared an embarrassing defeat at home to a non league side by two goals f...

A bit unfair as we had Lloyd Dyer last season, who has now linked up with Marvin at the Brewers.

A lot will depend on who, if anyone, we sign in the window. Nobody = down to the wire, couple of good signings could well be mid table.

Another lurker logging in from deepest Suffolk. I really like the new board so many thanks to Claret Tony and his crew for setting it up. He and others have done a fantastic job over the years keeping us exiles up to date with developments at TM and long may it continue throughout our Premier League...
