I wonder why the promoted teams are the bottom 3, can't put my finger on the reason that would be..... It’s because both us and Sheff Utd are basket cases and Luton are a teeny club with a Championship budget, but still managing to put us two to shame. All 3 promoted clubs stayed up last year, for ...

Fair enough. Going out to try and enjoy a pint now. Another game we shouldn't have lost. And losing it was very avoidable.

Enjoy yourself pal. At least they give us talking points if nothing else this season.

ksrclaret

I am not angry at all.... I accepted our fate a long time ago. The recent upsurge has been enjoyable, but the reality is, we are exactly where we are. Vinny is at fault in parts no doubt about it all, but he isn't sloppy. He tried things; it didn't work. His subs (in fans views, including mine - pa...

ksrclaret

Yeah Vinny is sloppy and has sloppy standards which is why he is at Gawthorpe 12-14 hours a day. Don't post when you're angry. Sure he encourages the players to get sent off and make mistakes. See also our defending all season. Sloppy is fair. Don’t post when you’re angry at what I’ve posted.

ksrclaret

The manager has set a culture of sloppiness and excuses all season and the manner in which we concede goals before the interval is a huge issue.

See also the number of red cards we receive. Culture, discipline and mentality problem.

ksrclaret

I expect him to be in charge next season simply because we can’t afford the pay out for him and his bloated band of technical staff. Those expecting us to repeat 22/23 are in for a rude awakening, I think.

ksrclaret

A couple of usernames have just popped up on this thread that have been noticeably absent for the last few games.

Go figure.

ksrclaret

There’s a serious culture and mentality problem at the football club.

Self destruction time and time again at almost exactly the same point in a game.

ksrclaret

It’s very gracious of us to nullify our biggest threat by playing Foster from the right, if indeed that’s what we’re doing again.

Kompany has a habit of not learning lessons until it’s too late this season but surely he could see on Tuesday that Foster is absolutely not a wide right.

ksrclaret

One of so many players we had in that period who were absolutely golden personalities as well as good footballers. Vokes, Cork, Mee, Arfield, Boyd, Ward, Heaton, Marney, Jones etc etc.

ksrclaret

If you look at it in all the windows we have had under kompany, majority of our better signings have all been loan signings. Money spent on McNally, twine, churlinov and then this season Trafford, Tresor, Ramsey and Amdouni all seem a waste of money Well we have signed some good players as well lik...

ksrclaret

When you realise that Burnley FC have spent circa £60m on Tresor, Amdouni, Ramsey, and Trafford it’s easy to understand why this season has been such a car crash. The best possible outcome for all involved is that the club have found a way not to sign Tresor and he’s going back in the summer. Report...

Muric Beyer -- O'Shea -- Esteve Berge -- Cullen Foster That would be the ideal spine of the team next season, supplemented around the sides with Redmond, Koleosho, Larsen and a new left back. I'd feel confident going into the season, especially if we can keep shaking off the horrible feeling we've h...

ksrclaret

Muric 8 - some brilliant distribution, a few iffy passes as well but for what he gives you that can be allowed for. A brilliant save from Ait-Nouri at 1-1 as well when our defence parted. Vitinho 6 - full of effort and endeavour as usual, but part of the reason we drew the game was because of a lack...

ksrclaret

That bloke that comes out of the dugout whenever we have a set piece must have the best job going. I believe his title is “set piece coach”. At one point in the first half, Wolves got a corner so out he came on to the touch line. Wolves then won two free headers in our box and should really have sco...

ksrclaret

Norwich yet another team who think that playing out from the back with inferior players is a good tactic.

2-1 Leicester now but just shocking from Norwich to keep giving the ball away in their own half.

ksrclaret

It's interesting that a few posters are commenting on him being a right back. To my knowledge, Kompany has never once tried him at right back but I can certainly see why the suggestion is being made. I'd never heard of him before we signed him so I don't know how good a right back he was in Germany,...

This message board has been 100x better since that awful poster Nori was removed (and his other usernames have had to keep their heads down a bit more). There's certainly another problem poster though who enjoys ruining threads just for the kicks. The words humiliating and embarrassing no longer hav...

Imagine a world where we signed Tella & Maatsen and played Muric & Cullen all season.

What could have been.

Classic smiley faces from a guy who has been humiliated

Check out the rest of the thread and you'll see that Bosscat is a big Muric fan.

ksrclaret

Without checking all the records, I think that was Kompany’s first starting line up that has not included any players that were here before he was. Collectively, the four subs were immense in securing a point. None of whom were brought to the club by Kompany. Those guys, along with the more solid p...

Muric had another "good" game part of 10 men.

ksrclaret

Coming of age? The team today lacked many of those "youngsters". The average age of the final 10 on the pitch is probably quite experienced. JBG, JR, CT etc. Spot on. Nothing to do with young players finally coming good and everything to do with experienced players showing why it was foolish to dis...

ksrclaret

And to think there was a poster who called him "tripe" and "finished" on the match thread.

ksrclaret

Not sure it's a coming of age thing, rather than the manager finally getting our best players on a football pitch together.

ksrclaret

Gets dropped (shocking decision) and puts in a performance like that when he comes on.

Outstanding.

ksrclaret

Nothing in this world will convince me that wouldn't have had more points had we played Muric all season, or at least made the swap when it became obvious that Trafford just isn't up to it (around October/ November time).

An absolute shocker of a decision that's cost us more than anything else.

ksrclaret

Fantastic result. All we ask is that the players give their all for the shirt and they've certainly done that today.

I just hope Muric is okay for Tuesday. He is some keeper.

Oh, and one more thing, up yours Darren England you corrupt piece of dog turd.

ksrclaret

Bless Darren England. He couldn't get anything for his boys there, had to let the goal stand.

Corrupt piece of dog turd.

Surely the club have got to make an official complaint now to the Premier League.

We’re going out of the league anyway, let’s see the club have some balls to say what we’re all thinking.

Taylors been one of our better players overall, too.

Yes he has, I think he’s 4th or 5th in the average player ratings so far.

ksrclaret

It’s a complete mystery how the manager looks at his squad and concludes than an out of position Vitinho is a better option at left back than Taylor. Getting pulled all over the shop down our left.

At least Taylor has some Dyche qualities drilled into him.

ksrclaret

Not sure iv ever slagged off other posters for criticising players who have been here for a while, we’ve had more than enough time to cast judgement on the likes of Taylor, Brownhill, Gudmundsson, Rodriguez, Roberts. Another example of it being fine and justified if KRBFC slags players off but nobo...

Well there was a thread on here after the Brentford game from someone who fancied themselves as "in the know" suggesting that Trafford would resume goalkeeping duties today, and that Muric only played against Brentford due to Trafford having a knock. I think we all thought that the poster was being ...

ksrclaret

Agree 100%. I've not been paying much attention, did they change manager 4 times this season ? Just the one managerial change for them this season, shockingly. I was surprised to learn tonight though that Tom Cleverley is now the guy in charge there. I’m sure it was only last season when he was sco...

ksrclaret

This has been a brilliant game so far.

I’m quite surprised at where Watford are in the league looking at this. They’ve got everything you’d need to be a successful team - pace, power, technique, a strong press. I guess they’ve not been consistent.

I'm a "legacy supporter". Every club would shift us out in a heartbeat if they could fill the stadium with cash-rich tourists.

I don't support Man City. Every season is "gamble" and "if". That's why I go.

Well of course. I was referring to the new strategy of binning off the concessions to try and grab more cash.

Or there will be a lot of people prepared to pay the 9th lowest ST price in the Championship to gamble on this team playing some decent football at the top end of the Championship. And if we are, the walk-on's will take the spares.

"gamble"... "if"...

You've nailed it with those words.

ksrclaret

Forcing out the concessions might have stood a small chance of working (financially) had we stopped up and played some decent stuff. As it happens, we've watched some absolute dross pull on the shirt and we've played like amateur school boys. There'll be a scarcity of folk waiting to take over a con...

ksrclaret

I think the club might just have holed beneath the waterline with this one, to coin a phrase.

ksrclaret

It’s been a truly woeful season.

The club could write the book on how to systematically take apart the good feeling and good will.

Those price increases for kids and concessions are outrageous. There are a lot of unhappy customers.

ksrclaret

Let's hope someone will give us a twix for Obafemi in the summer. Rubbish.

ksrclaret

Didn't Kompany say after the match that it's now Trafford's turn to support Muric whilst he has the shirt?

It'd be the end of the road with the relationship between manager and fans should it happen.

ksrclaret

Muric 8 - a brilliant return to the side and gave the fans such a lift. He pulled off some good saves (notably the 1 vs 1), he dealt with crosses reasonably well, and his distribution was a breath of fresh air. Assignon 7 - a good performance on the whole and offered himself as a good attacking outl...

As others have said, there is a culture of ill discipline that runs through the first team these days. The manager needs to get a grip on the situation but I suspect it’s too far gone now. As pathetic as the antics were today though, nothing will beat O’Shea heading the ball out of a players hands a...

Said clown was berating ball boy in front of us in BL in second half for not recycling ball quick enough. Shame he wasn’t berating Trafford for same offence.
Sadly the bloke is clueless.

That was an absolute joke. Poor lad.

His time is up.
