We're making them look like Brazil...

Dolan, Hedges and Weimann off at half time please...

That fuckin Dolan....

I'd be very happy with Danns but I still think we'd need 2 more in, preferably permanent signings (forward and midfielder).

Brittain MoM again for me. He's a different player this season. Very impressive performance.

You did, didn't you. 😀 Hope your necks recovered. FWIW I don't think you'll be chopped this time. I agree I can't see it happening.

I was just thinking the same thing, especially now Gueye is performing a bit better. I'd prefer a smaller, nippier striker, is there a young Mo Salah out there? I'd also happily take the young lad from Liverpool, Jayden Danns, as he looks like he might be a bit of a unit but has the skills to go with it.

Having said that, he has an eye for goal - unlike Dolan whose finishing is abysmal,.

I tend to agree. Lambert talked the talk, apparently even observed Gardiola training sessions, but was, ultimately, shit.

Buckley is a fucking liability!

Absolutely. Branthwaite was dog shite when he was with us, but he was also just a teenager starting out on his career. Now what's he meant to be worth?

Well. Didn't see that coming. Quite a scrappy game and didn't feel like a 3-0. Kudos who slipped the ref a few quid before the game - we got ALL the big decisions! I'm liking this seasons version of Brittain - he was superb. Tronstad, solid as a rock again. What a first touch/ tackle by Sanderson. Good stuff!!!

Hedges, that was shit.

I don't like that lineup. We're at home and it feels too staid and defensive. If we aren't going to start Cozier- Duberry at home against a team in the relegation zone then will it happen? I'd probably also have started JRC in front of Buckley. Disappointing, and I hope it doesn't backfire.

I think you have to factor in the fact we're currently 7th on merit. Yes, the squad needs work but 'massive improvement' seems to be a touch melodramatic.

I like Yuki too. I think he's sttled in well all things considered. Remember, he was also well into the J League season before joining us so he's probably knackered. I get the sense Cantwell much prefers playing with Yuki than Gueye. Yuki has a football brain, Gueye sadly, hasn't. I have high hopes that after a good rest and a full pre-season Yuki will prove an integral part of the team next year. Gueye on the other hand probably needs to be sold.

I gave up on Buckley ages ago. Was going to be the next big thing apparently but has always flattered to deceive. All fur coat no knickers is John...

If I were you I just wouldn't go on X, it's a cesspit. Unfortunately, the biggest bell-end on there is the owner...

Don't hang around for the likes, that would mean I'd need to get out more...

Out if all the loans, much happier to be retaining Beck and ACD. Baker is replaceable but this has to happen given our injury situation. Buckley isn't the answer.

This post aged well...

As others have said, you can't sustain a season on 1-0 wins, it only takes a 1 goal turnaround and you're on the receiving end as we've found out recently with Hull and Milwall. We desperately need some reinforcements- the squad is too thin. Biggest priority has to be a decent striker. Gueye is a big lump but has no composure in front of goal. Ohashi, I like more but he must be running on empty given the earlier Japanese league start (also now possibly injured). CB/LB cover is a must. Probably one more DCM too. Finally, a LW speedy type. I think if we get 4 in that should see us okay. Obviously, that would need to be revisted if we have any outgoings.

Random thoughts: We look lethargic... Gueye couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo.. Pears punches the ball because he can't catch it...

This seasons Travis is a big loss. Pickering less so as we have Beck but if he gets injured we'd be fooked at left back.

Perhaps not but but it's also important to acknowledge that we were something of a basket case when he took over. I was a JDT fan, but if he'd stayed I'm convinced we'd now be in League 1. He might not not have been able to 'buy a win' but he kept us up, and that was all that mattered.
