Not including the ones not good enough and our lack of strength in depth.

Relieved that it's all behind us now. Is it any coincidence that we get a clean sheet when Fadz starts with Hyam and Wharton out? Those 2 have been a MASSIVE problem for us this season and a big reason why we were down there. I'd certainly be giving Fadz another season, he was brilliant again today, just making life difficult for the likes of Vardy and Ineheacho... Looks and plays better than former top prem centre halves at the end of their career. Carter and O'Riordon will learn buckets off him. Dominic Hyam can go, put him up for sale, I never want to see his face again in our kit, makes me sick. Absolutely huge summer ahead of us. People are talking about the amount of money we'll have to spend... It will certainly help but it's about more than that, you have to get the right players. Really sad watching Sammie go off at the end but a fitting way for him to leave. An absolutely brilliant example of a modern professional footballer and deserves his move... Probably to Leicester.

Probably. His missus is from up here though.

If we do have some money to spend, I'd be looking to see if we can tempt James Hill to a move.

Not replacing this waste of space is simply prolonging the inevitable. Can't face the thought of him starting for us next season.

He's finished. Absolutely awful.

Is it Dembele on set pieces aswell? Looks like he takes a mean one. Mcatee nice finish here.

At 21 his best years are in front of him. They should have loaned him out like Newcastle did with Armstrong. This would be a good opportunity for us to pick up a good young talent with plenty of pace who now experience in English football... And he's only playing up the road. At the right price, he's a must.

Karamoko Dembele 2 assists for Blackpool. Should be a priority for us in the summer. John Mcatee also scores.

Bacuna is pony. Flatters to deceive, looks a worldie when on it but it's few and far between. Sh*te mentality. There's probably a manager that can squeeze the talent out of him somewhere though.

Spotted John Mcatee (older brother of James at Sheff Utd) the other night against Pompey. He'll be 25 in the summer and out on loan in League 1... So Luton can't rate him that highly. Perhaps a loan opportunity or being involved in some deal for Sammie or Dolan. He signed for them in 2022. Can't seem to see anything about the length of his contract but some state May this year it ends, guessing they must have an option of another year else they wouldn't have loaned him out. Anyone seen more of this lad? Stats look decent but good enough to do it in the champ?

Oh nice spot. Didn't mention Pompey players because can't see them letting anyone go but as he's on loan with only a year left... Could be a good option.

I keep a eye on league 1 every season to see if there's decent value for us. We've done well from this market in the past... e.g. Rothwell, Dack, Szmodics but this season there's not that much to pick from that wouldn't cost too much. A lot of the top goal scorers are of an age that doesn't offer a lot of resale value. I like Harrison Burrows at Peterborough, think he has the most assists in the league but top 6 champ clubs were sniffing around in Jan. Poku also at Peterborough, tricky, decent amount of goal involvements this season would be a good signing but with both him and Burrows... Their chairman will want top top dollar. Ricardo Santos at Bolton might not be a bad one, think he's in the last year of his contract, Fulham were sniffing around a couple of seasons ago. Big strong centre half. Many have mentioned Miles Leaburn might be worth taking a look at but would be dependant on price of how much of a gamble that would be. Perhaps Karamoko Dembele might finally be a serious consideration after being linked with him last summer. A solid 11 assists and would offer some genuine pace out wide that we've been lacking. Other than those, I'm not sure what else there in that league that would be a good option unless some of you know of any other potential league 1 gems?

Yeah pace helps 100% but surprisingly we're one of the most successful teams on the counter attack. Leeds have it in Summerville and Gnonto but could be nullified. We definitely need more pace out wide and have done for years now.

There's nothing in this league other than mentality. The difference in quality is negligible, it's just having the right manager with the right philosophy for the right players. Plymouth at Ewood looked a far better team than Leeds. It could have been a very different season for us if their mentality/attitude was better.

What's that got to do with in game management? Has he never managed a football team before?

No plan B after conceding the first, 11 men behind the ball, no high press trying to get back into the game. Not that they're better than us just shit tactics, shit mentality, shit preparation and shit performance. Disgrace the lot of them on and off the pitch.

EUSTACE OUT

1-0 down and everyone is behind the ball with 11 men... Where the plan B FFS??? WE'RE F*CKING LOSING EUSTACE.

Absolutely pathetic defending

Looking at Swansea's side today, hardly any that I'd swap for ours, if any at all. Get at them. Winning that midfield battle will be huge, hope Bucky and Moran get hold of it early doors because of they do this lot will crumble. We can get out of trouble potentially in the next 2 games, let's have it today!

People mentioning the Wigan game, I could be wrong but wasn't that when he was thrown in due to injuries? At 25 now I'd like to think his experiences since that game at 23 years old have helped him to improve.

Think you mis-read that one.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, are their better keepers out there? Probably. That we can afford? Probably not. Given his age and the fact he's got plenty of minutes of experience now under his belt, I think it would be silly to watch him go elsewhere and play the best years of his career. Some folk need to give him a fresh start IMO.

UPDATE - He's shite. Original post.... I've always been an admirer of this lad and actually thought he was deserving of keeping his place ahead of Kaminski at the time. I argued with many mates who were convinced Whalstedt was a better option when he's clearly not even in the same league. Don't get me wrong, he has made errors in the past and he did make some notable errors last season but he also had some great games that he was never given credit for because people had already made up their minds. Since he's come back in, he's been absolutely brilliant in my opinion. On Saturday he kept us in the game but the fans got on this lads back so quickly when he makes a small mistake. Seems some already made up their mind that they think he's sh*t and to me it just seems a hivemind mentality. I personally feel i'll always give credit and criticism where it's due and this boy for his recent performances deserves a lot more. There was a fella giving him pelters all game on Saturday but not once clapped him or gave him credit for keeping us in the game. An English goalkeeper at 25 years old, giving us performances like he has done recently is someone I see as a real asset, he's made some mistakes but you have to make some to become better and to me he looks like he's improved a lot. Even the small things like watching his near post better, his starting positions and angles when closing down 1 on 1's. His distribution has always been good aswell. Was nice to hear a chant of "England's number 1" and I really hope the fans start to get behind him now because his best years are firmly in front of him. Keep that chant going. Last night's performance was a real display of how good he can be especially when he has the confidence of the fans behind him. Well done Aynsley Pears.
