I feel dirty saying this, but it’s getting near impossible to defend him. We have to endure another 12 games like this and we’re getting worse as each game goes by. I’m not really sure he can keep his job if this continues as he seems to have lost a number of the players and has probably lost half ...

Who could do a better job?

Well, there’s a manager of a team directly above us in the league that has spent a quarter of what VK has and they are competitive.

TsarBomba

After today, go.

Genuinely think he’s lost the dressing room. The way we started that game was evidence enough.

TsarBomba

I’ve given up on VK, sorry to say.

I would’ve given him 10 games into next season, but today is the final straw.

Battered 5-0 last week, and how we stated today’s game told me everything.

I genuinely think he may have lost the dressing room.

Gutless.

TsarBomba

Really poor start.

TsarBomba

I said on another thread, at the presser VK seemed upbeat and happy until asked about Tresor. I don’t think Tresor will be here next season. The situation we had with Vossen springs to mind. I can see him going to somewhere like Club Brugge for an undisclosed fee quite soon after ‘signing’ with us.

This Leeds Leicester game is wild.

I have family members who are refusing to go these days or leaving early… I get their facebook messages during the games that they’re pleased they stayed away - they have season tickets by the way. Yet, they’ll be first at the ticket office for away tickets for promotion league winning games, bus p...

The man's a crackpot

Was just about to post this link.

Very odd man.

I bit like when we were told that sanctions would bring Russia to her knees within a matter of months. We were told the economic pain would be worth the gain. This year - Russian defence spending is up by 68% and their economy is set to grow by 2.6%. Defensive spending is only increasing because of...

As above.

Russians attacking on 5 main axis-

Avdiivka
Marinka
Robotyne
Kreminna
Bakhmut

Estimates of 40k Russian troops alone in the Mariupol area, and 110k in Lyman/Kupiansk.

Russia timing their offensives with Ukraine’s manpower/ammunition shortage. Critical.

TsarBomba

Good report CT. I’m pleased to see that despite the woeful football on display, going to the football still serves as an important social event for you and many others which is what it’s all about ultimately.

They do I agree, and there should be enough with what we have

But what experience we have isn’t on the pitch where we need it the most.

TsarBomba

1 - Benson, Zaroury, Muric all re-integrated and starting games. 2 - Tresor somehow not signed, get our money back on Amdouni. 3 - We finally sign a replacement for Jack Cork to play next to Sander Berge. Would love Number 1 to happen. I think it’s my biggest wish going in to next season. But can y...

Casemiro a lucky boy. More big club bias.

Other way round. Pretty much all Luton since Morris scored.

Really good game at Kenilworth Road. Luton pressing well and look tidy in possession. Barkley and Chong busy. Morris a handful. Ogbene a threat on the counter. Edwards bellowing instructions from the timeline. Really hope they stay up.

Ipswich gave us 2 tough games last season in the cup, but I presume you didn't see many of our games if you felt that it was our hardest game of the season at Portman Road. Probably saw about 80% of our games last season. We struggled to break them down and they matched us all over the park. They p...

TsarBomba

Good post. I honestly think a good number of them are being badly let down by management. The young lads on the pitch just happen to be part of a clearly failed experiment. Completely agree, we really have failed these young lads. Which begs the question why haven’t we been smarter in using the exp...

Still won’t get promotion though First season back in the Championship and up against Leeds, Southampton and Leicester for automatic promotion. Seriously impressive what McKenna has done at Ipswich.

Radio Lancs interview- few more pointed questions being asked than I’ve seen.

TsarBomba

He doesn’t need to slag them off in interviews - he just needs to drop them from the starting XI. I don’t think dropping players serves a purpose now. VK has firmly nailed his colours to the new boys, and he has to stick with them. He’s probably hoping that the PL experience will prove beneficial f...

TsarBomba

On what planet would you consider McKenna better than VK? McKenna is even less experienced and getting nowhere near VKs Championship total. You clearly haven’t read my post properly, have you? I don’t want VK out and I never said McKenna was a better manger than VK. What I said was that if we were ...

He would never come to Burnley. May as well suggest Conte or Zidane.

I have posted numerous managers over the season. Right now Cooper is probably the best shout. Theres plenty of decent coaches out there and some are free transfers. Hassenhutl, Marsche for example. We can’t afford Jesse Marsch. No way Cooper comes to us, been linked with Palace and wants to stay in...

TsarBomba

The reason to replace him now, is NOT to avoid relegation, it's to let a new manager get his feet under the table and be ready for next season in the Championship, which is now totally inevitable. Today was appalling and the fact that only half the crowd stayed until the end, said it all. Surely Al...

Vk will stay, we will be fine next season when we go again. Don’t be so short sighted. We are terrible at the moment though and it is very very tough as a fan. I am still VK in for the start of next season, but I wouldn’t be too sure we’ll have the same success. Those that got us promoted sure as h...

Am I right in saying Arsenal are the leading scorers from corners/set pieces?

They’ll be on a high from last week, too.

Can’t see anything other than a long afternoon, unfortunately.

Was it Robotyne that’s now just literally a flattened waste ground ? It shows the sheer futility on both sides for the soldiers .

Robotyne is within the line of defensive fortifications in Zaporizhia that Ukraine were trying to break through all last summer.

I think it’s piecemeal through this year and into next. I couldn’t tell you how many exactly and when. Think some deliveries are delayed too.

Unfortunately, with or without the aid package, I can't foresee UKR being in the ascendancy (like they were last Spring) when sat around the negotiating table at some point in the future. Russians already looking at Robotyne and wiping out the gains made there by Ukr last summer. We’ve just got to ...

Sadly they are making progress,although limited in Ukraine. Hopefully more western aid will flood in but Russia have the advantage of population, maybe more mercenaries will join in plus the Russian battalion that is anti Putin is growing.

RIP Alexei Navalny - a true hero.

Navalny was a nationalist with previous links to the far right. Had to apologise in the past for racist and anti-Semitic comments. He wasn’t what the West thought he was and wanted him to be.

I’m not sure about your choice of words when describing people who aren’t really enjoying it anymore? Miserable? Negative?

And the first thing I would do in the summer is try and bring Ashley Barnes back, (not that he probably would after we threw him on the scrap heap along with all the others that got us up). It’s beyond laughable to even suggest it, but it would restore at least some connection with the fans, and his...
