Saint back in for benson according to sacha

Hopefully we’ll string them along for rest of the month and then decide to keep him here.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Everton should get another deduction and be made to knock their new ground down even if it is for the people and to add to the glamour of the premier league!

Steve-Harpers-perm

He was ill along with a few others by sound of it.

Steve-Harpers-perm

I will never understand how people like that bloke. Wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him Never understand posts like this unless you’ve met him and got to know him and therefore can back it up with some evidence? Also I imagine you wouldn’t be able to throw him far unless you do weights d...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Forgot he was playing to be honest so not sure how he had an excellent game!

Steve-Harpers-perm

It’s quite simple in a relegation battle (maybe not anymore) you need players who are going to run and show some fight he does neither so should be nowhere near the squad. Same goes for a few others.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Thought JBG did ok but two massive moments that change the game the sitter in the first half and the ball he chose bizarrely to fire across in the air instead of rolling it along the floor for a tap in at the back post which was possibly his last kick of the game. That would have sealed the game.

Natural leaders know who to turn to when their under the cosh ,VK brought on Tresor no more needs saying.

We weren’t under the cosh until he brought him on!!

Trafford - 7 Vitinho - 5 - after a shocking first half Ekdal - 8* - alongside O'Shea thought he was excellent O'Shea - 8 El Dakhil - 5 - again after a shocking first half, though it did feel he was hung out to dry a little JBG - 4 - got to score early doors, got to Brownhill - 4 - really poor Culle...

Steve-Harpers-perm

The subs have been awful all year I can’t recall any of them since August that has made an impact on the game.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Trafford 8 played well and clear foul Vithinio 5 poor again Al Dakhil 5 looked predictably lost at left back Ekdal 7 pretty solid O’Shea 7 as above Cullen 6 did ok Brownhill 6 as above Amdouni 5 dreadful bar his goal Foster 6 tried hard but not much came off running on empty after 70 mins Odobert 6 ...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Agree with you. I saw the vision, plenty of space down the sides to counter with fresh legs. Neither of them broke sweat tonight, truly awful. Exactly and made even worse with Benson and Zaroury both sat next to them on the bench! I don’t actually think Larson touched the ball when he came on just ...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Actually find it quite sad to see the team we had with quality and swagger be reduced to this through some horrendous recruitment in the summer. Disjointed, no cohesion and constant chopping and changing of players on the bench and in the team. Honestly can’t wait for this season to be over it’s bee...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Benson and Zaroury must surely realise their time is up when those two plant pots are getting on ahead of them.

Gave the ball away in his signature half-arsed manner which led directly to the cross they scored from.

As much to blame as VAR, though it was Kompany who put him on the pitch for some unfathomable reason.

Don’t forget his attempted back heeled flick trying to clear it after he’d lost the ball.

Steve-Harpers-perm

If you could pick two of the current squad who you wouldn’t want in the last few mins of a tight relegation battle it would be Tresor and Larson. Both an utter embarrassment when they came on hopefully id honestly get rid of both this January.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Personally I’m not a fan of loanees over developing our own players even if it means going down. I’d rather we give them the experience, but appreciate that the board definitely won’t feel the same. That said, I’ve seen nothing to suggest in his numbers that he gets 10 goals for us between now & th...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Totally agree, however I think if Gueye is available cheap then it’s a no brainer to go for him this window. You have got to imagine VK is signing at least one full back if not two this window Got to be two new full backs this window who fit our system and like someone has posted above can actually...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Exactly this. How many of those calling for Beyer to play right back have ever seen him play in this position ? It’s very clearly a position we need to strengthen in and prioritise so why fans would want to play an untried player there and at the same time weaken the centre backs is baffling. The d...

Post office investigator getting ripped you shreds in the inquiry live on BBC2.

Bit like watching my local idiot MP Jake Berry getting ripped to shreds by Ian Hislop over the Post Office scandal on Peston last night. Recently Jake has been spending his time getting angry about Easter Eggs.

We need his guile and goalscoring .Why some want him dropped is a mystery.

Goalscoring?

Can’t understand us signing another cb unless Ekdal or al-dakhil are leaving

Ekdal is never fit. Needs replacing plus can’t rely on Beyer staying fit either.

10th September 1996 a 2.0 win with goals from Gleghorn and Nogan if it’s the same game!

A few years later. It was in the promotion season. I have a strange feeling it was a Sunday game.

It was a Sunday sat right behind the nets when it went in a cracking finish as was his one at Scunthorpe.

Steve-Harpers-perm

I remember a 0-0 draw there under I think Cotterill (so wouldn’t be a Neil Wood debut) and we were definitely in a side stand yes. I remember nothing of the game in the slightest but I recall it absolutely lashed it down after the game like I’ve never seen before, an absolute monsoon. We were soaki...

The Coyle season was absolutely superb to watch! Lifted the town.

Steve-Harpers-perm

They are a bit like Blackburn fans get giddy in September if they’ve won a few then fade onto mid table obscurity.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Funny. I started reading this thread thinking 'yes, yes, I agree with that' and then realised that it was started in September after three matches. Yet here we are talking about him in exactly the same way. He does not seem to have progressed whereas others have. I would like to see Brun Larson giv...

I was surprised he didn’t attempt to at least save it.

I just assumed he didn’t have site of the ball

Even if he’d dived he wasn’t stopping it. Maybe he should have done to make himself look better.

That throw was not a high percentage play, not even close.

High percentage play whatever that means. He lost the ball crap and weak forward play again. I’m sure if he’d beat his man or passed and we’d scored you’d be posting what a superb throw it was from Muric.

Because half our team were behind Muric? Lack of awareness from both him and Zeki.

Eh? The counter attack was on it was poor play yet again from Amdouni.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Quite bizarre but no real surprise posters are blaming Muric for the goal despite Amdouni losing it when he had a simple pass inside to Tresor instead of trying to nutmeg their player.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Muric 7
Vithinio 5
Taylor 7
O’Shea 7
Delcroix 8
Cullen 7
Ramsey 6
Zaroury 6
Odobert 6
Foster 6
Amdouni 5

Larsen 4 a bizarre sub sticking him up front.
Brownhill 6
Tresor 6
Redmomd 5
Al Dakhil 7

Same old story played ok miss big chances at key moments.

Steve-Harpers-perm

As with many others the first ten minutes he was rusty given he’s hardly played any minutes of football this season. Thought he improved and played well after that.

Steve-Harpers-perm

No idea how reliable but rumour on Twitter Redmond wants to return to Besiktas.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Watched first two episodes as above fantastic and devastating drama. Usual story of those at the top being allowed to get away with it. Vennells should be in a cell.

I’m sure there is a reason a lot more players regularly move clubs more than previously.

Certainly a lot of movement of players to different clubs these days.

Steve-Harpers-perm

The Athletic are reporting there are a number of clubs abroad interested in Benson. Also says he has been fit for the past month so obviously they don’t think he’s up to this level.

Steve-Harpers-perm

PGMOL have clarified that Joelinton wasn’t booked in the first half for dragging someone back because advantage was played. Usual consistent application of the rules!

Steve-Harpers-perm

Surprised we are considering a permanent deal given we are highly likely to be back in championship next season.

Spot on

All 3 goals highlighted the lack of intensity in winning the ball back. The first one Watkins ghosts past O’Shea with Berge or Brownhill both ambling back into the box failing to get any sort of challenge in.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Most of our set pieces are generally poor but at least we are quick and decisive with our throw ins!!

Steve-Harpers-perm

Taylor absolutely wasn’t the only issue, the main issue is Villa have more money and better players than us. It doesn’t help when your experienced left back is responsible for giving the opposition 3 goals though. I think Vitinho was poor too but at least he gets forward and tries to support the at...

It's pointless suggesting our defenders aren't good enough for league one.

Maybe too far but they prove most weeks they certainly aren’t up to this level.

That we don't panic, that we continue our improvement and start to accumulate points on a regular basis. That the players pass better, pass quicker and increase the conversion rate of chances created.

You forgot to add and defend.

Steve-Harpers-perm

We will be replacing Cork and Rodriquez at some stage in the next few months, now is as good a time as any (if the right player comes available). I worry about our centre halves but when all fit I just can't see where we can fit another one in. So in short, a striker to backup/supplement Foster, an...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Two centre halves, right and left back and defensive midfielder plus another striker.

Steve-Harpers-perm

It’s pointless banging on about how well we play and how we deserve this and that when in reality we are having to score at least two a game to get at least a point. The defensive line that finished today would struggle in League 1.

Steve-Harpers-perm

The bodies will cope I imagine as long as the huge wages which increase season on season keep being paid.
