The most obvious thing today
Has to be the amount of bed wetters frequenting this board.
Although it was awful today we haven’t finished the transfer window yet. Wait and see where we are next week.

True. Alongside us learning that without LK we haven't a single ball carrier in the side and can’t pass straight.

Re: The most obvious thing today
Even if we bring in replacements of some kind this week....on what planet does it make sense to have a third straight summer of massive change to the playing staff?
We've committed 15 million on two centre-halfs to replace O'Shea. What if we had just decided to keep O'Shea?

The most predictable thing today was for someone to call supporters with genuine concern, bedwetters , pathetic.

It's ridiculous and unsustainable... Do they need liquid that bad? Does Pace really think it's Top Trumps or something? Christ almighty, or has Mooney been talking out of his arse again with some whackjob modelling metrics?

Posters on here call out others as bed wetters because they have nothing really positive to add other than whistling in the dark and hoping for the best.

A for O'Shea (and others) if they say they would prefer to leave once an offer comes in, it is difficult, and arguably counterproductive to keep them.

Re: The most obvious thing today
It is counter productive to keep players who don’t want to be at the club. But it’s also counter-productive being left with a squad that isn’t capable of competing. There’s a balance to be had, and I think if you compare our matchday squad against Luton, and subsequent performance, to those of today, I think supporters’ concerns are legitimate.TheFamilyCat wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 6:06 pmPlaying in a different division for for the third successive season has a lot to do with that.

Re: The most obvious thing today
Is that some posters on this board still don't realise that BFC is a commercial venture, not a community football project.
ALK are in it to make a profit and don't care what the fans think unless it affects the bottom line.
If you are struggling with the concept that this in no longer "your" football club, find a local non-league club and volunteer to help on match days - then you can truly say it is your club.

Re: The most obvious thing today
People have wanted this for years, buy young players, sell for profit. That is why we’re going through this now. VK first summer was a total rebuild from where SD left us. He wanted to do it again to be stronger for the PL. Now we have to do it again because those that have impressed have impressed other clubs. It’s not really hard to work out that those in and around the first 11 will be the ones sort after. After all, they are the ones in the shop window, performing or showing they’ve got something about them.forzagranata wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 5:59 pmEven if we bring in replacements of some kind this week....on what planet does it make sense to have a third straight summer of massive change to the playing staff?

Re: The most obvious thing today
Because the ownership or should I say owner thinks his way is the only way that works and can’t understand why having 5 or 6 players to build around is what keeps teams and clubs together. Take Michael Keane, we signed him cheap, had him in the prem, then in the champ and back in the prem. 3 solid years, set up foundations and then sold him for a heavy profitforzagranata wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 5:59 pmEven if we bring in replacements of some kind this week....on what planet does it make sense to have a third straight summer of massive change to the playing staff?

Re: The most obvious thing today
Clarke (best player in the Championship) cost the same as O’Shea? That’s a master stroke!
Re: The most obvious thing today
It’s hard not to feel unsettled and a bit glum. As others have said, we expected to lose the likes of Odobert, Weghorst, Berge, O’Shea and Trafford so that’s no issue. It’s Zaroury, JBG, Benson, Muric and Al Dakhil that worries me. Letting Obafemi go and putting McNally up front also adds to it.
Hopefully we’ll bring in some attacking quality next week and things will settle down. As for the term bedwetters, it’s up there with dry powder on the boring scale.

Jack Clarke would be viewed by the majority of PL clubs as a very good Championship level player which is probably why he went to Ipswich, where the majority of their incomings have been players who have been performing well at Championship level.Burnley Ace wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 8:14 pmClarke (best player in the Championship) cost the same as O’Shea?

Hountondji looks a million miles off being good enough. He offers nothing.
He is the only attacking player we have bought and he's looked awful.

Re: The most obvious thing today
We played with a weakened side and while it was difficult for a couple of the ‘reserves’ they don’t look like they are ready for first team action. New signing Hountondji looked very poor with little effort to impress on his part.
With all 3 replaced next week, Rodrigues back on the bench and a rip roaring home atmosphere next week we should be more than ready.
