Re: We are losing control of our own destiny

Lack of posession was not the problem today. In the second half in particular united let us have a lot of the ball but we had no clue what to do with it. No movement, No one dropping into the hole, running in behind or going wide and wingers constantly going into an over crowed middle. So easy to de...

Re: Yet another away defeat

Much more positive today. Great performance in the 1st half where we were the better team. We mixed the play much more and played better football than recent games. The game was won after a poor bit of play from Barton and the bit of luck for Everton after that. Up to that point we looked like getti...

There is a huge amount to admire about what Dyche has done. The work ethic, no egos, team spirit all in it together, organisation and all about the team culture he has created is fantastic. He has also helped some of our younger players develop. To be where we are with the resources we have had is u...

Re: Gray had a tight hamstring

Unlikely he had a tight hamtsring. He got no treatment after coming off and Dyche said in the press conference he was trying to be more robust up front with the changes. He mentioned nothing about an injury. Gray looked severely ****** off at being subbed. What is the source?
