You can count points then. Not exactly proof that you know what you are talking about. We haven’t conceded in 3 games prior to this one for a start. You don’t always get points you deserve but your eyes allow you to see whether you are playing well or not. Last year was basically the same team once...

SGr

Nope. Still don’t get your point. Comparing a game at the start of last season to this is not clutching at straws. Anybody with half a clue about football will see that we have progressed as a team since last season. It is an evolution where we now have to change the team more with extra games. The...

I personally want us to compete in the top league in the country. To do that, I believe we have to improve recruitment.

Sadly, criticising our transfer window has lead to suggestions that I should “go and support another team”.

SGr

You seem intelligent.... :shock: Wha point are u making? You agree we’ve improved this season then? You countered someone’s point, which was that we played poorly today, with the argument that we played better in the first half, than we did in a half of football (that occurred last season) in which...

SGr

No I responded to somebody posting that we played poor. That first half performance was better than our second half performance at Chelsea last season. People need to get a grip... Better than a second half in which we nearly blew a 3 goal lead against 9 men? Bloody hell, must’ve been a masterclass...

Do we get points for being decent first half?

I suspect that will greatly influence how much money we spend (if any ).

Spending £0 cannot be an option regardless.

we played some really good stuff in the first half today, got in behind Watford loads. Watford had a bollocking at half time for not working hard enough, closed us down quicker and our lack or creativity in midfield came to the fore again. Inept in the second half Similar, albeit less extreme story...

SGr

Why didnt we bring on our pacey winger (or two) to run against tired legs, or even another creative midfielder to unlock their defence?? Oh that’s right, because we don’t have them. We have two target men and a bunch of defenders on our bench. Summer transfer window has failed to address many of our...

We seem to be developing a bad habit of being good 1st half and missing numerous chances, only then to be really poor second half and creat virtually nothing We have been out strengthed, out fought and out thought second half It’s at times like that when you need to look to your bench for differenc...

Well - “Dyche fit”. Which for whatever reason means they can’t even get on the bench. I say “they”, I mean Vydra. Since he’s the only one left.

1 point from 6 we got from the same two games last year. Oh dear.

Not sure on this game but they said no bags in Turkey. I was on quick trip, had a change of clothing, toothbrush, no paste- knew mates would have it & did not want bother at airport and phone charger/adapter. Sure I would have been able to leave on coaches as there was value in it, only thing they ...

If you find a flight for this itinerary let me know. I would love to book on a flight straight back if one appears. Also they said no bags at turkey but you could leave them on the coach. Some actually got bags in though. Loyalclaret did and think I read he was on a similar trip... As long as its r...

Surprised Mee and Tarks rested. How tired can you be at this stage. Be good to see Gibson but think it's risky replacing the two centre halves so early.

Again this is based on predictions, from the same people who predicted our economy would collapse if we didn't join the Euro, or we would see all kinds of problems if we voted to leave. One after the other they have admitted they were wrong, why is it this time that they must be right? Truth is I d...

There are many ways Brexit will be carried out. Norway rules, Canada rules, no deal, etc etc.

And all of them are worse for our economy than the current deal. Brexit is founded on idealism, not on facts. People think “Churchillian spirit” will somehow have any relevance ffs

SGr

Of course people can change their minds, but they should do so on experience. We cannot do that with Brexit because the result has not been implemented. What is the point of having a democratic vote if the result is going to be ignored? It took less than an hour after the result was announced for F...

SGr

The whole point of democracy is that people can change their minds.

If Brexit is the will of the people then surely a second referendum should yield the same result. People who disagree with the idea disagree because they’re scared the result will change.

Needs to be used as an incentive to make even more noise. Make their players feel truly isolated.

Replacing Defour’s genuine quality will not be easy, but I certainly think we should look for a genuine technician as opposed to a workhorse. It shows against similar level clubs when you have a player who could arguably play at a higher level. A Sam Clucas type just wouldn’t cut it, in my opinion, ...

The day you give a genuine counter-opinion on something rather than just bringing out the eye roll will be a glorious one.

Re. your question: if you can’t laugh, you’ll cry.

Defour will appear in an u23 game sometime mid September and get subbed off after 60 minutes. He’ll then be “touch and go” until January.

I know the script

At £10 million we should be back in for him in January. I don’t see why we should. Aside from the fact Forest have proven themselves a nightmare to deal with (whether that be their fault or ours), I just don’t see where he fits in. We have Dunne, our own prospect, who I’d much rather see us develop...

Well he had his chance to move to the Prem as an understudy to Tarkowski, but both club and player thought it best for him to stay. Now he’s being kept out of the squad by a duo of Michael Dawson and Michael Hefele

Rupert Murdoch despises social media for exactly this reason. But, Brexit shows it can still be manipulated.

SGr

Media is the biggest reason. Props up a government that allows for declining wage growth and NHS funding cuts by scapegoating immigrants and the EU.

But, if you take things in the Wetherspoon magazine as gospel, you’ve got to look at human common sense too.

6/10 also.

Marks for a few good deals given the circumstances of having little time left and limited scouting. And not losing key players.

Marks down for having little time left and limited scouting in the first place. And not bringing in another winger/centre mid.

Jay Rodriguez is not worth the time or the money that we have either invested or need to invest to sign him.

Vydra - probably a really good fit in terms of playing style and our needs. It does make me wonder a bit about our insistence on dressing room character though. Hasn't he done to Leeds what Clucas did to us? A bit too pragmatic to be holier than thou. It’s simple really. There’s no real footballing...
