Haha we can't please everyone! (Or anyone!). Normal service resumes when we let Forza out of the Bene-fuelled banishment he's been placed in!
Hopefully he's in an Ipcress File styled torture room until he learns his lesson.
Anything less is a cop out.

Muric Assignon O'Shea Esteve Taylor Then Berge Brownhill Odobert Fofana and two others, my preference would be Beyer and Foster but as they aren't fit, Massengo and Gudmundsson. Unfortunately they'll be physically too big and strong for us tomorrow, especially when the two big men come up for set pi...

missing Foster has been so hard for us this season, he made such a difference when he did play. Hope he gets his injury sorted and can hit the ground running next season It's a massive blow, I really thought Foster, Odobert and Fofana as a three pronged attack would give us a real chance of winning...

😂 true! But it really is a BFC obsession that we must play defenders in midfield! From Branchy (who knew where he should play), to Edgar and finishing on Tarks…let them be lads. Just to add, my thought process was him playing as an extra centre half who sweeps in front of the back four to free up B...

I did confirm that it was a physical injury last week. Have to comment on your last line, I think we are stronger with Beyer out. I think he's struggled defensively at this level. There was a discussion on the Jordan Beyer thread yesterday, the mitigation by some for his poor form was the influx of...

Beyer hasn't been any...

I don’t disagree with Goody’s assessment, but you touch on the problem. How many of the better performers are we going to keep if we go down? We could end up with an endless cycle of rinse and repeat, new builds every season. If we are relegated, that is a major concern, we may well look at loaning...

I'd love to believe we could suddenly cut out the soft goals but surely that is wishful thinking.
I agree, unless we cut out the soft goals we are dreaming but I think overall we are a better outfit (especially with the three new guys) than we were in the early stages of the season.

Don't let the law makers see this, I'm sure they'll have some hair brained scheme to add 'excitement' to the game.
