Whoever continues to plan us defending set pieces can't be much use. Time and time again we end up with one of our midgets marking giants, yet Jota gets a free header. Just watch what Brownhill does for their first goal. He ends up marking VVD, well trying. It's really poor and has been ever since D...

I think it's about time for some of this Board's contributors to realise what the constant calls to get rid of VK mean for our financial future. We can't afford to sack him and his massive staffing set up. He's responsible for much of our current woes, but we and he need him to be here next year to ...

With VK in the stands who will the on field team look to for motivation next Saturday-Bellamy or Jackson

Benson.

summitclaret

I quite like Trafford and think he will become a top keeper in time and certainly should continue being first choice, but we should have prioritised other areas. Ditto, we didnt need all those wingers, we needed 2 full backs and a dcm to take over from Corky, including a bit of experience. We should...

There's one thing for certain. If we try and play Liverpool and Arsenal without 3 proper central midfielders we'll get thumped.

summitclaret

Whilst there has been plenty of chopping and changing in the back line, the lack of change in midfield appears to have had just as bad an impact. Too many passengers and not enough players willing the grab the game by the scruff of it's neck. Time for Cullen to come back in for Amdouni and sure the...

summitclaret

Wish you lot would shut the **** up about Trafford. He's a decent keeper already. We have had far far more serious problems this season. Trafford is not the problem.

summitclaret

Only £2 on the bus.

Looks like we will utilise Taylor, Delcroix and Al Dakhil.

Vitineo?

summitclaret

It's very straightforward. We signed far too many wingers ( at the expense of full backs and a cm bruiser). We've chopped and changed the starting 11 and subs in a poor attempt to keep all those wingers and Ramsey happy, which has backfired massively.

summitclaret

I am not sure why, but this signing is potentially very exciting.

summitclaret

Dirty Leeds may still want Roberts and Charlie? No way we'll let Charlie go atm surely.

He came on against Everton and was ineffective.

Your right he came on after 82 minutes, have been warming up since half time. Utter madness, when 2 nil down.

"It’s not VKs fault Cullen Roberts Al Dakhil etc haven’t been good enough either, they were rightly dropped after being given the chance. Nor is it VKs fault the club didn’t do the deals for Maatsen and Tella." It is his fault that Benson was not brought on at half time/or at all against Everton. It...

summitclaret

How do you know it’s prioritising though, if we have a list of positions we need it might just the the case that a winger has been made available first, we might have our full back targets but a selling club might be waiting for other targets before letting players leave. It’s not as simple as just...

summitclaret

We need to take this injustice and use it like Coyle did after the League Cup semi exit, to motivate everyone at the Club to stay up.

A casualty of the continuing sham of the roadworks.

It won't have helped, but it's been struggling for longer than that. It's a real shame.

summitclaret

Wtf. How can that be offside? The Villa player was not obstructing the keeper's vision in any way. Operation save Everton in full swing again.

summitclaret

Great talent, but another midget. Also, not a priority position atm. Comes below:-

A commanding cb
2 full backs
A defensive centre midfielder
A central striker

All/most tall, quick and strong.

Could do with better news on Fossy, Ekdal, Jordan and Charlie, but I guess Friday is going to be too soon for them.

summitclaret

As I have said previously, we'll get the best of him when we play 433. With him in the old Hazard role. That means just 1 proper winger. Crucially it allows allows 3 in cm, so we can play Berge, Browny and Cullen. That should reduce the goals conceded. Would also be even better if we could then play...

We are doing okay, despite us trying to give them a goal at times.

Brownhill for Ramsey and we might be in the 4th round draw. Foster holding his groin at half time

It’s already started before a balls kicked, gets worse every week on here

What do you expect? Anyone who thinks a 2 man midget midfield against Spurs is suitable needs sectioning.

VK could destroy any confidence left in Ramsey and Cullen tonight with that line up.

The centre of midfield looks incredibly lightweight. If we're playing Cullen and Ramsey together I think we need to add Brownhill as well, making it a midfield 3.

Or Cork. Looks like madness.

summitclaret

Spurs team talk. Straight down the middle their as weak as xxxx. Where is Massengo?

2 man midfield of Ramsey and Cullen. Think we aren't prioritising the cup.

Doubtful we could get him but I wonder if we will try and get Sergio Gomez out of City on loan, left back, never seemingly plays for them

He's another winger in disguise and a midget, so it's defo a possibility.

Him warming up for 37 minutes after half time v Everton and not coming on until the 82nd minute, when we were 2 nil down at ht, was one of the weirdest management decisions I can remember.

summitclaret

Have to disagree with this. Maatsen was weak defensively (great going forward). We need solidity ant the back. THB was too slow for the Prem imo and wouldn’t have massively improved our defensive unit imo. Given City want £20m for him, I’d much rather we give O’Shea the experience, who I think is d...

summitclaret

I'd rather we were linked to out and out full backs and ditto centre backs. Can play both sounds like yet more midgets.

I’ve never known a keeper averaging 2 goals let in per game that has been Man of the match so many times its astonishing.

It's because we have a crap defence

summitclaret

Certainly explains why he's not been playing and very rarely on the bench. If that was to be the case until June, then top dollar for 'selling' him is now. Same goes for Anass sadly.

summitclaret

Think people are forgetting that players will probably have release clauses, especially if we go down. So we may struggle to keep Fossy, Luca and Wilson in particular. Don't forget there's the whole of Europe for them to go.

summitclaret

His confidence was destroyed by being played at left back instead of Taylor. Then right back. There's a player in there somewhere.

summitclaret

The main reason to remain positive is Foster. Makes a massive difference. Pace, strength and getting a good conversion rate.

Of course we are more likely to go down, but in Trafford, Foster, Amdouni, LK and Odobert We have good assets. Next time we need to sort the back 4 and defensive midfield.

Whose gonna mark McGinn's arse?

I was extremely excited when I heard the news that Sheffield had accepted a bid from us. I felt that was a tipping point in our prospects. Still may be. I do think though that we have half a dozen equally talented players, albeit some of those are younger and haven’t yet figured out how to make the...

It's more important that Jones doesn't ref anyone.

Looks like another nothing learnt week, with a likely being overrun in cm due to the obsession with playing 2 wingers who stay out wide and ZA in a role noone unders.

I think he'll start last weeks team with just Taylor back in. Same old tippy tappy pathetic defending,same old sideways and backwards passing, same pathetic corners, same uninspiring set pieces,same old abysmal throw-ins,same lame misjudged substitutions, same excuses post match. Might be wrong tho...

What attributes have you seen that make you think he could or should be used in the Rodri role? He reads the game well and I think that would enable us to defend better, like we did when Cock was playing regularly. In a 4141 or 4132. He is confident in possession and can dribble well and his passin...

summitclaret

He is a very good footballer and when we finally use him in the Rodri role he will be very much sought after.

summitclaret

I thought our subs yesterday were even worse than normal, which is incredible. Foster for Jay was worth a try Bringing on Al Dakhil and putting him full back, rather than Roberts, was mind boggling. Waiting until the 82nd minute to bring Benson on - words fail me. However, none of that compares with...

Tarkowski is destined to score even though he missed quite a few sitters for us from set pieces

It's more than that. He sets up others from set pieces. We need someone who can compete with him aerially and imo its only Ekdal.

Whoever’s up against McNeil has a huge part to play I reckon.

Agreed, along with who is marking Tarks at set pieces, which is why Ekdal needs to start.
