And if this were in any way realistic, no club on earth would invest in proven young talent. Trafford is a kid playing in front of a relatively poor defence behind a relatively weak midfield in the most difficult league in world football. Let's judge Trafford and the wisdom or otherwise of his purc...

Maybe. I mean it wouldnt be ideal to be relying on a loanee so i think its ight to prioritise the permanent player. But JBL seems to have a mixed skillset that none of the others have. I really like JBL I think with a run of games he'd really step up and I think he likes it here. Isn't there an agr...

Don't think it can be put in his contract, I think it's more we've gone in asking what they want City have said a deal totalling £19 million but we want a buy back at £50+ million, our eyes have lit up thinking we're getting a great deal and will almost treble our money JT must be brilliant if they ...

Jbl should have had more game time this season. He looks like a younger JBG and the one who can combine defensive work rate with an offensive threat. We have overused Odobert slightly

Because VK and Pace see more profit in Odobert than JBL

Yep, he's the first goalkeeper in BFC history whose punched clearances go to an opposition player.

That doesn't even make sense to what I was saying. Strange

We are extremely unlikely to ever have white shorts again due to the issues with the women's team wearing white shorts. From what I gather that is why we have had blue this season, and the club for whatever reason don’t want the mens and womens kits to be different. Burnley wearing white shorts is ...

It doesn’t even make any sense. You can level plenty at Trafford (and no doubt Bumba has), but he’s not been dropping crosses etc this season.

Even the easy catches he chooses to punch and several times it's landed us back under pressure when a catch was easy and takes the pressure off

bumba

The formation we have with two central midfielders means we cannot play out and out wingers. To play two wide men would mean that Brownhill has to play the attacking central midfield role. But he's using Odobert and Vitinho as our an out wingers. If he's asking Vitinho to do a role inverted and dro...

All those wingers signed and we persist with Vitinho on the wing

Our only home win was against them and it was a 5-0 hammering. Tells you all you need to know about them. We've a better squad with heaps more potential at the level below than their team of more or less journeymen. Generally accepted by the wider media that we've been better and should have more p...

What else can it be? We play tomorrow and if we draw or win, we won't be bottom.

Beggars belief.

So if we draw or win today does it make the recruitment a magical success?

Give over will you. Its more complicated than that. i.e. 3 key players were not here this season, 1 of our defenders missing for large periods etc. Over simplifying the situation to fit an agenda and view. A view you are perfectly entitled to but not one I agree with. Anyway- have we played today? ...

Mmm, OK, I'd prefer to wait until the end of the season.

No we're worse because they are above us

Last years squad would have been torn apart just like this years one. You cannot play so open and expect the possession that team had last year. We are a young team and it has shown. They will get wiser and stronger - just hasn't come quick enough this season. Last season's team had a winning menta...

We'll be below them for for a few games if that.

Unless we get a draw or more tomorrow we'll be below them after the same games played, that means we are worse. There's no way to dress that up

So we're now bottom of the league with our flops, what has VK got his recruitment data based on?

He doesn’t play for Morocco. He wasn’t in their Afcon squad, hasn’t played since a short sub appearance in June for one of the Afcon qualifiers.

Fair enough but the goal Luton scored was a foul on the goalkeeper. Reminded me of a goal scored in an FA Cup Final against Man Utd; but that was back in 1958.

It wasn't given and as we've seen since they now aren't being given which is correct because keepers are too protected

Wealth in assets. We have approx 40 players on the books. Some of which will be sold (maybe not for profit) but we will recoup money to go again next season. I know we've a lot on our books which is more worrying because we are paying those wages without premier league money. We need people to take...

Potentially but given we will be the most wealthy club in the championship I would still expect us to be promoted quite comfortably

If we don’t it will be a massive failure

Wealthy in what sense?
We've spent all our money

I would still be amazed even with all this crap going on if we weren’t promoted. The championship is incredibly poor and honestly looks even worst than last year. Leeds and Leicester have the best squads and even they look pretty crap. It's unbelievably close in that league this season, no way are ...

Yes I wasn’t questioning Luton they have been a breath of fresh air and managed to get a point when we would not have if the shoe was on the other foot.

Whilst they did play well against us and certainly dominated the ball (not sure how much of that was deliberate from our part) they didn’t really create anything of note other than the goal we had the best chances to score throughout the game. If Luton dominated us then by the same token we must ha...

Just looked at their results and he appears to have scored just 2 goals this season and they were in the same game. Seems to be starting lots of games on the subs bench.

I think you'll find he'll still go down as a bundesliga winner.

Unless you’re an Arsenal fan, this is thoroughly depressing. Football shouldn’t be this one-sided.
