Re: Their free kick!!

Got to presume his spray's not working, which begs the question do they not have spares? In any case as a result he doesn't know if the ball or the wall are in the right positions. We're owed an explanation there. Swift has absolutely slammed that free kick over the wall and it's gone in not even cl...

Re: The Super Clarets vs Preston Match Thread

Can't believe pundits talking about the ball touching the defender so no penalty. It doesn't matter if you've lunged in and took the forward, if the ball brushes your knee on the way past it's still a foul, everywhere on the pitch. They get given all the time.

Re: January Transfer Window Rumours

Good point re Humphreys. People talk about him being a good defender but not always being the most dangerous in an attacking sense, but at Blackburn he put over our one telling cross of the game and it proved enough and on Friday night he put over another peach which was easily our best cross and l...

Re: Our Lack of Goals is Killing Us Big Time

I've been giving our attack the benefit of the doubt for most of the season as we've only really had 2 fit wingers and one centre forward for most of it, and that lack of choice and form has killed us against the poorer teams that are happy to sit in against us. And I'd also convinced myself the app...

Re: Has the football improved lately?

The overall approach, involving a lot of risk-free possession from one side of the pitch backwards and across to the other side, is really dull. It's not miles away from a lot of the football under VK, which could also be boring, but that side had Beyer who would carry out of defence to break things...

Re: Parker - In or Out

In. It's frustrating but Parker's had barely any options up front since the window. Foster's been missing half the season, Flemming's been missing half the season, Hountondji and Jay have struggled off the bench. Anthony and Koleosho have been the only fit wingers, having to play 90 mins every week ...

Re: Vitinho message

He's made bold moves in career so far and showed a lot of passion and commitment (in a team that lacked it). I reckon he's made another good move and he'll be representing Brazil at RB in the next few years. Ah the best to him, really enjoyed watched him.

Re: Very similar to the early VK games

Yeah we're missing our best CM Cullen and 3 of the starting 11 today have not even had a training session together yet.

Fluency up front will come, Flemming will be important, Hannibal will find his place. I reckon this team will get 90+ points.
