Darnhill Claret

Thought Amdouni and Odobert also had good games, turning people and going past them. Unfortunately we also gave away possession too easily, too often, but the signs are definitely improving.

I'm with burnley007, thought he was enjoying himself tonight and a much better performance. Lyle made himself available more tonight, making it his best performance since his return. Now he needs to improve his passing and he'll be back to his best. Another improved performance by the team, onwards ...

I think claretandy might be thinking worst, best case scenario.

It isn't as if some male refs haven't been fast-tracked.

Darnhill Claret

Not sure he has struggled with recruitment, apart from failing to find an adequate replacement for Maatsen. Maybe he didn't want to miss signing any of the potential stars who play as wide front men. We don't have to make a judgement on that for a good while yet. It's OK to speculate but not fair to...

Well, you know what I mean.

3 points from safety.

I also think VK is trying to instill some extra positional discipline which in turn is reducing our attacking options and making us slightly more predictable going forward especially through the middle. Think we'll need most if not all of our wingers by the end of the season.

Darnhill Claret

The tactics/playing style can't be judged until the players start pinging it around quicker up front but particularly at the back. The slow passing at the back invites other teams to press us high, too high and makes it more difficult to create the angles required to escape the press. This makes us ...

I have a feeling that Lyle won't want to uproot and move again so we should be OK with him and Micky Mellon banging them in.

Darnhill Claret

We used to sing 'you'll always be a Claret', so Fidel should be grateful that we didn't burst into song for the 4 of them.

Darren Bent says Birminam.

Darnhill Claret

Form wise, it's difficult to accurately assess Fulham so let's try to impose our game on them and come away with 3 points. COYC.

Darnhill Claret

To summarise the game, yesterday we were out fought and out thougt. Next game we go again. Hopefully we will have more players reaching full fitness.

Darnhill Claret

I thought that Berge was as good as any other Burnley player yesterday although he found it difficult to impact the game positively in their half, but that may have been down to Everton's tactical play.

Darnhill Claret

Just wait until it clicks. When it does it won't be because VK has changed much, it will be because the players will have improved and performed better. If it doesn't click soon enough and we are relegated, we start again, just like any relegated team/club. Leicester, Leeds and Southampton seem to a...

He was so disappointed to not break the Championship points record that he wants to have another crack at it.

Or a lot?

Darnhill Claret

So you would prefer to see the 'captain of the ship' panic a little?

Best wishes Lyle, don't put a time limit on your recovery.

Darnhill Claret

I'm guessing that she has reffed lots of men's games to a high standard to be given this opportunity. Best of luck to her and I'm sure she'll have a good one. Her man management will be top class I reckon but how her game goes will depend on a lot of variables.

Darnhill Claret

I went to both 7-2 games that season. The Blackburn game was either the first game back in England for Jimmy Greaves or very close to the first.

Darnhill Claret

To add some balance, I consider Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day to all be part of Christmas.

Darnhill Claret

I'm glad we still get under his skin.

Darnhill Claret

Oh and you might still get booed especially if you miscontrolled one or made a poor pass or worse still, missed a sitter.

Darnhill Claret

We don't want you Wout.

Wout, any chance you could come back and help us out? We're in a bit of a pickle!

Darnhill Claret

Refs are like goalkeepers, in that you can't have a football match without them.

Darnhill Claret

Amdouni a fantastic player, proven in European competition and at international level.

Darnhill Claret

Think Broja is too big a squad player for Chelsea to let go. Jackson too big a first team choice to let go. Ings, sorry to say is not enough of an improvement on Jay. West Ham are on the slide and will be nowhere near the top half come the end of the season. Luckily for them they have banked a lot o...

I no longer post on anything that I anticipate will raise PTSD for some other posters. Of course those who get aggressively abusive may just be that way inclined.

Occasionally humble? Lol.

Tripps has not been at his best for the last 3 or 4 games.

I'm sure JJ will give you a lift

Darnhill Claret

Pickford is an excellent keeper in all areas of the game. I do however understand that Pickford the man is not universally liked.

Darnhill Claret

Why can we not like and be supportive of both Trafford and Muric?

Darnhill Claret

Massive game as in 'the next game' is always massive whoever we play. The ex Burnley connection just adds another dimension which I'm sure the media will hype up as well. Not interested in where other teams will finish just hope that we can get out of the bottom 3.

Darnhill Claret

The temptation for VK is to start Ramsey. When he comes on as a sub at home he is usually that much faster than the rest who have been playing for 70/75 minutes that his aggressive runs take him beyond his teammates. If he was to come on to help defend a lead it would be difficult to do it in a defe...

Darnhill Claret

VK wants the players to eventually play with a false nine or a line leader (Jay) with quick, skilful players around him. Foster, our first choice line leader can play either role but is unavailable at the moment. Until he returns Jay has to play the role, either role as best he can. When we have ano...

Darnhill Claret

Recruitment in the summer was all about who can we make money on, according to the 'experts' on here, no-one else. Not to be confused with the club's long term strategy. VK's substitutions last season were seen as excellent. Why? Because we won games. Now they are useless. Why? because we aren't win...

I'd be surprised if he was that tall.

If you are good enough, you are tall enough.

Second start after returning from his injury. Scored both in a 2-0 win. Very busy player, makes things happen. Looked almost back to his best.

If all they want is success please explain Sunderland to me.

Success is all the sweeter after a failure or a struggle against the odds.

Not sure now if it was Vitinho or O'Shea who passed it to Berge.

Darnhill Claret

A hat-trick of mistakes. Trafford chooses not to pick the ball up. Vitinho plays a ball from his position wide right into Berge, in the centre of th pitch, who is marked by a Wolves player. Berge miscontrols the ball and gives possession to Wolves on the edge of our penalty area.

Darnhill Claret

Any substitution after that had to balance weakening the team whilst trying to get a stronger foothold in the game to try and score an equaliser.

Darnhill Claret

We lost that goal and ultimately the game when James decided to not pick that ball up.

Darnhill Claret

Koleosho was injured. So you would have kept an injured player on. Makes sense.
