Zaroury must have a knock. 3 Assists in the last game he played

Ric_C

Think we can get points off the bottom half, but invariably we will get some more tonkings along the way. Look at Brighton on saturday, playing wide open football can hurt you. If we get a couple of wins fairly soon, then we should be fine, but the longer we go without a win then I fear the worst......

Ric_C

Can you imagine the audio from the VAR yesterday? Would be quite funny actually.

The sooner they make the audio mandatory like in other sports, then we can have transparency.

2-2 draw in the championship season, injury time equaliser, great times

Goalie ate a pie that was thrown on the pitch, and was later sent off for punching Conroy by the corner flag.

Brun Larsen gets our second.

I like the cut of his jib

Ric_C

What type of injury was Benson?

Ric_C

There's people on here using the quality of Man United as some kind of barometer to judge the quality of our own performance. One person even suggesting they could be in a relegation battle. For balance Man Utd are in the Champions League because they finished in the top 4 of the league last season...

Ric_C

If all the rhetoric from the media this week about how poor we are doesn't galvanise the players and fans, then nothing will.

It will make it all the sweeter when we show them what we are about.

Ric_C

There are zero easy games in this league, zero. Comments like "They were there for the taking" completely baffle me. What I would say is that we look a lot more solid with a proper number 8 behind a main striker. I think Amdouni will make way once Foster is back. We controlled large parts of the gam...

Ric_C

What worries me is that we have far too many wingers, and not enough strikers. But I guess we knew that already. Genuinely forgot we had Redmond last night, and one of our best players from last season Zaroury is just twiddling his thumbs. But a suspension to foster and we have zero premier league q...

Ric_C

Frustrating that we lost that. We should have 4 points from our last two games. We are getting better and our shape looked vastly improved tonight. Trafford 6 Just ok, he still doesn't convince me though. Roberts 7 Did ok, not sure why all the criticism? Al-Dakhil 8 Class act Beyer 8 Class act Taylo...

Wolves red card here, pretty shameful from Lockyer

https://x.com/MyTopShotBurner/status/17 ... 46927?s=20

Ric_C

Norwich 4-0 down!!

Ric_C

In the grand scheme of things I think we need to back ourselves against Luton.
In terms of if we can't finish above them then we probably deserve to go down, so maybe them winning today would be a good thing for us?

Ric_C

10 shots to 2, sounds like rovers are getting battered.

One of those players like Redmond, that when you check his age you see they are still in their 20s

Surprised to see that’s he’s only 28

And some thought he was finished

Ric_C

It's a good point though (no pun intended). How would you have to say that verbally without causing confusion?

Luca on top as A first point’s won at Forest?

Ric_C

It's taken a bit longer than expected but we got there in the end. Woke, BBC wasting licence payers' money, MOTD, ticking boxes.... damn near a full house, I'd say. I'd also say the numbers don't lie either. MOTD, Football Focus are now on life support. Why wait and sit through all the shite when y...

Ric_C

BBC really are out of touch tbh. They are trying to copy the popularity of some of the "with it" YouTubers, podcasts and panel shows where in my opinion they would have been better sticking to the tried and trusted format. I can't remember the last time I watched Football Focus, and Question of Spor...

Ric_C

Thomas Frank touched on this here, I'm hoping VK is thinking along the same lines

Think the better questions is will Pace stick with VK if we go straight back down

yes

Ric_C

Erm... where is Batistuta?

Ric_C

Think he's on the verge of going full David Icke

Nice and what about the other 200+ appearances?

Just got it from some stats site, I was intrigued at how many actual red cards he got

Ric_C

https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/s ... a-red-card

Pretty cut and dried tbh. Although I don't think there was actual intent for Zaroury to catch him the way he did.

Ric_C

Sean Dyche had 2 red cards in 245 appearances.

Ric_C

They need to start learning quickly. 1-0 up and then a curled ball into space and we are suddenly 2v2 at the back. So naïve it is criminal.

Ric_C

7 men behind the ball, with out balls to direct pacey players. It's basically what Palace have been doing for ten seasons now.

Ric_C

My Boro supporting mate last year said we were very good, but we'd get absolutely battered in the prem playing like that.

I replied to him saying "Kompany's not going to play that way in the prem though is he?" ....

Ric_C

We do need a plan B. Remember City pumping a lot of long balls from Ederson when we went man for man up top

Ric_C

1st goal, chipped through ball into space and we are 2 v 2 at the back. Lessons not learnt from Villa. 2nd goal, into injury time and Berge goes on a mad dribble and loses the ball resulting in the corner that led to the goal. Total naivity. How have we ended up with only two strikers in the squad, ...

Ric_C

They've not included the buy after loan fees or the undisclosed fees, so the whole article is misleading tbh

Ric_C

Not really sure on the twitter point. Click the link if interested, view link and comments if required, then exit twitter. Kind of agree on the squabbling tbh, discussion is fine, but when an argument takes up nearly half a page, it's a bit ignorant to think everyone else is interested in viewing sa...

Ric_C

Amazing that we have 20 different nationalities in that squad

Ric_C

Muric

Roberts
Al-Dakhil
O'Shea
Delcroix

Cullen
Berge
Brownhill

Koleosho
Amdouni
Foster

Ric_C

Tbh you need to factor in historical results as well. City always smash us, Villa seem to play well at the turf....Spurs less so.

I think we have a chance today, the crowd need to be "at it" a bit more tbh as the home atmosphere has been dreadful so far.

Ric_C

One question left outstanding is whether he has signed a new contract at Chelsea or whether he is letting his contract run down This is the one thing Chelsea fans are suddenly coming to realise. They were creaming themselves last night, but the reality is they might lose out on around 30 million qu...

Ric_C

A bit weird we are speculating maatsen has "strung us along". How do we know that? It's not that big a surprise he wants to play for chelsea and believes in his ability enough to get into the side. They have a brilliant manager and are one of the most successful sides in europe over the past decade...

Ric_C

Not bothered about Maatsen rejecting us in the slightest, it's his career at the end of the day.

However if he's been stringing us along all summer only to reject us at the last minute, then it shows a bit of naivity from the recruitment department, to not have backups ready to go.

Ric_C

Forest signed 7 players yesterday

Ric_C

Tresor signs

Ric_C

Nevermind, it's not as if Villa's right back almost scored a hat trick down our left side or anything last week

Ric_C

Anyone who turns down Milan for Bournemouth needs their head checking tbh

The Tresor plane on a blue plane is a goodbye message to Belgium. IMHO

whatever it means, it's a very strange thing to do.

Ric_C

Apparently we have options A,B,C,D etc for every position. Why not for a left back?

Find this situation increasingly odd. We are potentially going into a premier season with only 1 fit recognised left back that doesn't fit into our system anyway
