Thought him and Cullen decent today that’s probably about it

I'd add Vitinho, thought he looked bright first half playing on the wing. Usual lack of end product but thought he really helped the build up play and our press.

whiffa

There's been one major thing for me we've been lacking this season, and that's a Nathan Tella type striker who can put the ball in the back of the net. Yes we've been useless at the back, but it's irrelevant if we're never a goal threat.

whiffa

I've seen pens given against us for that, all I'm saying.

whiffa

I'd love to see Zeki and Benson for Vits and Odobert at some point. Have a go at them.

whiffa

I think the genuine and only real possibilty of us staying up this season is based upon teams having point deductions, and that's the sad reality. Won't give up until it's mathematically impossible though and I'm sure our players will do the same!

This is also where I’m at now. Very strange strategy in the summer that has completely backfired. However, I’d be inclined to stick with him next season and give him the chance to prove he’s learnt from his mistakes this season. I suspect I am in the minority with that now though and the toxicity l...

We've conceded one goal today because we insist on playing tactics suitable for Barcelona. The other two have been scored by completely unmarked men. OK< maybe we were spoiled under Dyche for 11 years and got used to seeing a team that were organised and knew what they were doing but this season ha...

whiffa

Being able to defend is irrelevant at this stage. It's mistakes that are costing us. Not organisation or strategy.

whiffa

As a big VK supporter it is becoming increasing hard to defend his decision making. From the starting eleven, to substitutions. Week after week the same old ****. The simple question I guess is, would we be worse off without him?

Vinny bringing those three on at 90 minutes is arguably the biggest item of evidence for a sacking, though I remain the lawyer for the defence not the prosecution, mainly due to what to expect NEXT season.

I suspect we won't have those three players next season.

whiffa

3 subs on 90 minutes. What is the point of that now? Should've been done twenty minutes ago ffs

whiffa

I'm sat here thinking, out of our entire squad - who is Premier League level? I stop after thinking of Berge and Koleosho. I just don't know what's happened to our club. A bunch of inexperienced young lads, out of their depth with no leadership on or off the field.

whiffa

I just feel sorry for all the travelling fans today, they deserved better. From the players and the coaching staff. Embarrassing all round.

Here we go again...

Love F1 and I'm currently watching Season 6 of Drive to Survive on Netflix which is brilliant. Hoping this season will be more competitive, last season very much seemed like a competition for 2nd place. Excited for the introduction of Audi in 2026 and what possible driver positions there will be the...

Onto Page 3 with many of my fave films mentioned - but no sign of my top one so thought I would throw it into the ring:

The Sting

Honourable mentions which I haven't seen listed (apologies if missed):
In Bruges
Tombstone
Man on the Moon

In Burges is a great shout, missed that off my list.

whiffa

Inside Man (2006)
Reign Over Me
Enemy of the State
Road to Perdition
Mission Impossible (1996)
The Pursuit of Happyness
Minority Report
Taken
Catch Me If You Can
The Fugitive

Just a few other favourites off the top of my head, would recommend them all.

A bit like this message board right Nori? Wish you'd take your own advice sometimes.

Lord of the Rings
The Matrix
Interstellar
Inception
The Green Mile
The Departed
Anything by Tarantino

Oh ye like Brownhill, JBG, Zaroury, Al-Dakhil, Roberts, Vitinho, Jay Rod, Ekdal, Taylor, Cullen.

I wouldn't say that Cullen or Zaroury really got a look in, how many games have they played more than 60minutes in? Your other point stands though.

The whimp’s just gone down as thought he’s been shot,subs coming on but still no Benson.

Honestly give your head a wobble and seriously considerate the absolute shite you post on this board before a Mod blesses us and bans you.

whiffa

Ramsey, Amdouni and Brownhill all completely absent in the first half. It's like 8v11 out there. We just want to see some fight and some passion, we don't expect to beat sides like Arsenal but we just don't look bothered.

whiffa

Results or no results, I think Beyer has been found seriously lacking at centre back at this level. Someone mentioned above his performances in the cup ties last season too against the top clubs. I guess it comes down to opinion, I for one still value him as our best CB and feel like our defensive ...

whiffa

From VK Foster has had surgery - no details given - not likely to end his season but out a while Beyer - progressing Taylor - was close last week at Liverpool (he was actually warming up on the pitch pre game) Pleased to hear Foster's absence confirmed as a physical injury and not a return of his m...

whiffa

I'd go to a back three and start Esteve Beyere and OShea - with wingers/fullbacks in a midfield 5 personally.

whiffa

Its hard to escape the feeling that Trafford is playing because the club invested a huge amount of money in him. Same with Amdouni and to some extent Ramsey. I see flares and potential with Amdouni, that warrants him starting. Ramsey I feel is playing out of position whereas I think if he was playi...

whiffa

Trafford getting too much stick on here , VK was a top player at THE highest level, he chooses the keeper. As a manager his reputation is on the line, so why do people assume he has a massive blind spot regarding this position? He and his staff are vastly experienced, the way some on here are criti...

Trafford at fault for the second too, put Delcroix under pressure faffing about and concedes possession.

Correct. Centre half’s shouldn’t always be running like hell back towards their own goal.

I think in fairness to Dara more recently he's been running back to cover for Vitinho. So not always his fault.

whiffa

Finally showed some grit and fight.

whiffa

Foster has given the ball away with easy passes five or six times now, stopping all of our build up play.

whiffa

JBL on for Ramsey at half time with Amdouni moving back central please.

whiffa

Genuinely baffled at this stage of a PL season that we are playing a RB (who isn't good enough at RB) at LB, a goalkeeper who isn't good enough for this division (yet) and Amdouni on the right wing when we have so many wingers.

I just can't understand it. I'm not angry, I'm just baffled.

Trafford

Berge - Cullen - Brownhill

Is what I'd like to see.

Oh now we're talking, it's not a real transfer thread without some aeroplane tracking!

When he first came to the Premier League, I really rated him. Thought he brought a freshness and personality to management. More recently though, I've found him to do a lot more complaining, almost at every opportunity. Not sure if that was stress related. He'll be a big miss for Liverpool and a tou...

How is that writing him off? I said he looks good but it’s a massive step up?

That is a fact it is a massive step up

Sorry, I misinterpreted as you criticizing his ability to make the step up. My bad.

Would the combined wages of Tresor, Ramsey and Redmond have covered it ?

Probably but then you'd have one player earning a shed load more than others

Reports saying Crystal Palace interested in Kalvin Phillips on a loan, just the type of player I think we're missing in the middle but I know he's well out of our price range wages wise.
