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. Surely His likely return on an investment with us would pale into insignificance. He won't want to lose masses, but I just can't see how this could ...

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 would say that anecdotally, almost every pundit I've listened to including the commentators on Saturday make the point that we create our own problems...

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.

I've just watched the match replay.

Because we can't afford to keep this squad together. A lot want to leave, a lot will ask to leave, some aren't good enough.
So who wants to leave then?

Bombing out half the squad that worked, played & fought for each other last season and was so successful is the biggest issue I have. Yes it worked the first season, but it needed to be done then, To try and do the same again this season was just madness Yes, we've had far too much player turnover....

Well didn't Luton actually sign a couple of players at the start of the season? They did with the object of strengthening the team (Ross Barkley for example),not as investments, which by the way hasn't really worked for us. We had a team in the making last season. Against Arssnal at home we had one...

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.

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. I know it’s been done to death but all this points to VK being massively out of his depth at this level. The pla...

Luton just have a better togetherness and fight in them. Something that money and VK can't coach with his group of players This is a fair point. But it's worth taking into consideration that the Luton squad has been about 3 seasons in it's development. We got promoted largely on the strength of loa...

Even if that is correct it is moot because we're not spending £8m on Assignon if we go down.
TBF, how many Championship clubs spend £8m on a full back?
And it's very unlikely that Assignon would want to play 2nd tier football regardless of whether we would stump up that sort of fee.

Got to be honest, I've not seen much from Assignon that makes me think he's much if any better in either defence or attack than Vitinho. I didn't think there was much between Vitinho and Roberts last season, and I do think Vitinho has more scope to develop into a better player. He passes the ball b...

Sorry, I wasn't getting what you meant, you mean that Vitinho isn't classed as a RB but Assignon and Roberts are?
I'd say Vitinho is a right mid who does his very best when played at right back.
Possibly he'd fit as a right wing-back.

Interesting signing- player with decent pedigree who appears to have been a regular in a fairly successful Sparta Rotterdam side last season even if he's struggled for game time this season in a highly successful PSV side.

Think you badly miss my point. By the way Silva's team is 20 points ahead of us-I suspect the gap will be greater in May. Yes as you say, some coach.
I think I'm getting your point perfectly well.

This is why GOOD coaches are worth their weight in gold. Marco Silva tonight made 3 sub changes on the 37 minute when it simply was not going well for Fulham.
And turned defeat into victory, what a coach!!
I don't suppose he had anything to do with them letting in 3 1st half goals.

The point is it was a complete failure by the officials and there is no justification for it despite your best efforts to defend it. I've no idea how many soft penalties have been awarded. Do you? But it was much more than just 'soft' - it was a clear error. And it wasn't just about the penalty dec...

If you don't want to give away a penalty don't rely on the referee and VAR official to get the most basic of decisions correct. It wasn't a soft penalty - it just shouldn't have been a penalty and second yellow card. Appalling set of decisions. I reckon if that action had taken place on the halfway...

Yes but we are talking about how he's viewed as a left back. I very much doubt the cb experiment will be revisited when we have so many other options there
Yes, but what I'm saying is that if he was being chosen at LCB he couldn't have stood in at LB.
