Yes it's been a success, but I would say we've been lucky. Huddersfield and Fulham are shite so all we have to do is finish ahead of Cardiff - a team who battered us away and should have won that game. We were so bad during the first half of the season that we probably deserve to go down, and most o...

northernpowerhouse

I'm not sure why people are whinging about transfer windows. We're in this mess because of Dyche's awful team selections for the first half of the season, not because we didn't sign Jay Rodriguez or whoever.

We'll be fine by the way. With the exception of the Newcastle match we've been playing well.

northernpowerhouse

Mooy and/or Billing from Huddersfield.

A winger.

Che Adams or Jarred Bowen.

northernpowerhouse

Watch football and he was at his peak from 16-19. So you think he was at his peak when his goal record was 34 in 120 (about 1 in 4)? Being at your peak isn't the same as being at your fastest. It doesn't mean scoring a few goals against Switzerland and Croatia. Rooney was clearly at his peak when h...

Then you're daft in the head.

northernpowerhouse

If this pushes Vydra up the pecking order and Crouch is purely a last 5 min sub I'm fine with it. Vokes isn't good enough at this level anyway (although I love the guy). If the money goes towards Che Adams then even better.

northernpowerhouse

Money+Crouch is a good deal in my book. Vokes shouldn't be anything more than a sub for the last ten minutes and Crouch would do a better job of that anyway.

northernpowerhouse

**** yes! Always been a big fan and would improve our midfield instantly. My only worry is if he speaks good English, whether he'd fit in our dressing room etc. If we do sign him I've no doubt he'd be a fan favourite.

northernpowerhouse

If we go down like this the players won't keep faith in him so there's no point keeping him on.

northernpowerhouse

I'd take Dominic Solanke on loan from Liverpool. Hasn't played a game this season.

northernpowerhouse

Great half of football. Barnes making a huge difference. Wood wasteful but we need his pace. He'll come good.

northernpowerhouse

Barnes and Wood - excellent
Bardsley and Cork - not so good.

Mixed bag but I'm weirdly confident for this one.

northernpowerhouse

Totally deserved. If it wasn't for our massive injury crisis mid-season we would have got a lot more points.

northernpowerhouse

Too right. The only way he goes is if he's lost the dressing room.

northernpowerhouse

Probably because we needed a proper number 10 instead of Jeff Hendrick.

Why isn't he playing him? **** knows.

Big Sam's probably out of our price range. Steve Bruce is more our level.

Slavisa Jokanovic, Chris Wilder or Derek McInnes.

Hart Lowton Long Mee Taylor JBG Defour Hendrick Brady Barnes Wood The Barnes/Wood partnership worked wonders during that 5 game winning streak at the end of last season and we desperately miss Barnes breaking up play.

CFor all those thinking he’s the answer, I refer you to his goals/game ratio at this level for us and West Brom (4 goals in 29 games). There’s a reason he’s not starting. At West Brom he was 21 and playing for a shite team. I've seen enough of him at Championship level to know he's better than what...

northernpowerhouse

I can't figure out how Vokes is still starting. Wood's our best out and out striker and Vydra and Barnes are both better at linking play. What does Vokes bring? Not much.

northernpowerhouse

1-1

Big litmus test for Dyche tonight. If he can't sort the team out after a lengthy international break against a weak Newcastle then something is very wrong.

northernpowerhouse

Vydra and Defour in the same team, great news. I've got a good feeling about this one.

northernpowerhouse

I agree but Vydra playing behind Wood will do for now.

northernpowerhouse

Bringing Vydra in for Hendrick is a no-brainer. He's creative, intelligent, pacy-ish. Needs to start. I'd bring in Wood for Vokes. I know he's struggled but he's our best striker and he'll be fine with some proper support behind him (like he had from Barnes at the end of last season). As for the def...

northernpowerhouse

Hart
Lowton Tarkowski Mee Ward
Cork Westwood
Lennon Vydra JBG
Wood

Wood up front with Vydra behind is a no brainer, if only for a bit of pace and creativity. Lennon gets another chance because of lack of alternatives. Westwood marginally ahead of Hendrick but there's not much in it.

northernpowerhouse

Wasted without a partner. Wood and Barnes were brilliant together towards the end of last season. God knows why Hendrick is starting ahead of Barnes.

I know you're being sarcastic but they are. We're playing a decent team and they're not a patch on Lowton and Tarks.

northernpowerhouse

Really disappointed with the team selection. Bardsley and Long for christ's sake. Dyche letting himself down bigtime.

Oh well, let's do them anyway!

northernpowerhouse

I would say because social democratic parties across the world embraced the free-market and betrayed all their longstanding principles. That's why Labour have enjoyed a partial recovery under Corbyn: because they returned to their social democratic roots started opposing unfettered capitalism again.

northernpowerhouse

Hart
Lowton Tarks Mee Taylor
JBG Westwood Cork Hendrick
Barnes
Vokes

Tell Hendrick to tuck in a bit and let Taylor bomb forward.

northernpowerhouse

Cracking window but we still need a winger. JBG, Lennon, Brady and Walters leaves us very susceptible to injuries, and I don't want to see Jay wasted out on the left (if we sign him).

northernpowerhouse

Vydra is Czech for otter apparently. Matty Otter.

northernpowerhouse

I'd be quietly happy with this. Would be a big upgrade on Hendrick and I'm surprised he's only 26. Bargain for £10 million.

northernpowerhouse

Not Premier League quality these days. Decent back up I guess.

northernpowerhouse

I only just noticed they picked up Florin Andone for £5 million. Jammy beggars. Where were we?

northernpowerhouse

Way out of our league. Probably out of Palace's league as well. He was being linked to big European clubs not long ago.

northernpowerhouse

I went on the Rangers board a few months ago and they were all of the opinion that they'd drive him here for £3 or £4 million. Mind you they're a delusional breed who think they should be Champions League regulars as well. Scored a lot of goals from midfield which is something we need.

northernpowerhouse

Trippier, Ings, Gray. Had the individual quality to see us over the promotion line.

northernpowerhouse

Pellegrini, Fabianski and Yarmolenko are great signings. Anderson could be a risk but chances are they'll do well this season.

northernpowerhouse

The Trades have got the biggest screen in Hebden. It'll be rammed though so get there early to get a seat.

northernpowerhouse

Pickford
Walker Stones Maguire
Trippier Loftus-Cheek Henderson Lingard Rose
Sterling Kane

No way we should drop Sterling. For the first 60 mins yesterday he was constantly dropping deep and linking play. Without him we'd have no chance of keeping possession.

northernpowerhouse

Fair play to them. If they think the best way to stop England is to foul us out of the game I'll take that as a compliment. It's just a shame the ref didn't deal with it properly. Strange tactics though. Once they started playing football they clearly had the better of us. If I was a Colombian I'd b...

At some point in the next few months the Brexiteers will have to accept that we're getting Brexit in name only for now. Then we'll have all the time in the world to figure out how to distance ourselves from the EU. It will probably involve waiting for the Tories to get a majority, ditching the DUP a...

I totally cocked this up. I was top after the second round then went out drinking after the Panama match and forgot to change my team. Down in sixth now.

northernpowerhouse

They'll probably outplay us but we should scrape through thanks to set-pieces or a goal on the counter.

northernpowerhouse

The exact player that we need in our system and from his brief cameos at Liverpool recently he's got all the pace, movement and intelligence he used to have. All this stuff about bad attitude and conflicts with Dyche sound spurious at best and no doubt something that two grown adults could sort out ...

Why was this bunch not on a better game at peak time ? because itv want to fulfil their duty to use ethnic minorities so they lumped them all together on a bad game.
