Re: Burnley (A) BFTG/S

I don’t know how penalties have’t been given against Holmes , he wrestles players in the box far too often . Maybe he will only stop when he is penalised .

Re: MATCHWATCH : Sunderland (h)

My first post of the season ! How can you give any player a mark for that performance , not one of them. did anything worthy , that were all rubbish . All season I have been reading comments on here of how Holmes has improved , sorry I don’t see it , he is as unsuitable to be a centre half in this l...

Re: Out of Contract 2022

I’m pleased to see that so many are now seeing and commenting on the futility of trying to ‘play out from the back ‘ when you don’t have the technique or ability to do it . I have been saying this regularly since I have been on this site . There will not be many of you that will have seen the Jack M...

Re: Rumour - The return of Mark Bowen (and Eddie Niedzwiecki?)

Well I will be the lone voice , I am not in favour of a Mark Bowen return . I didn’t think he was at all impressive when he was here , in either of his roles , although we don’t really know what role the Dof really does , and the rumours were that he wasn’t popular with the players .

Re: Season summary…

Well we obviously cannot be happy with the season we’ve endured . The concerning thing is that nobody has any idea where we are heading . Our current position is, no manager, hardly any players signed for next season , and based on past evidence , this will not be quickly resolved . Many are suggest...

Re: Jed Wallace

Would be a good signing , we all agree on that . But maybe we should also consider Charlie Austin ( ex RFC youth) and David Marshall , both released by QPR . and not likely to cost as much .

Re: Out of Contract 2022

Main priorities for next season . Get a GK who is up to the required standard . Same applies to CB and LB . In my opinion Southwood is certainly not up to being number one . I don’t see Moro being up to another season , don’t think that he really performed to his previous levels this season . For me...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (a)

I like the work you have done Hendo , but I’m not proven wrong until the match is over . I’ve not based my opinion on past records , just on what I have witnessed . I think he struggles in games to be up with the pace of play and to be in the right place , I believe he is likely to panic when he aga...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (a)

I’m much happier with the GK situation , but whenever Holmes is on the pitch I’m concerned . If he plays he’s a certainty to be booked or red carded . I wouldn’t play him .

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackburn Rovers (h)

I agree , play the ball into danger areas when you can , don’t expect the GK who is 40 yards behind you to pass it more accurately than you !
Finally , SR’s comment , that Nyland is no different to Southwood ——— I give up. !

Re: MATCHWATCH : Millwall (h)

Obviously our main problems are in defence , and I think that will remain the case until we improve the CB and GK situation . Our GKs have given away too many goals and our CBS have been poor . Morrison has not been performing to previous levels ( maybe never will ) , Holmes cannot hold his own at t...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (a)

Southwood is 23/24 , he’s not going to get any bigger . Don’t go thinking that he would get an easier life in L1 , he won’t . He will struggle in professional football , they don’t give you an easy time .

Re: BFTG - Blackpool (A)

The second goal was headed in 3 yards from the goal line , the keeper can use his hands and can outreach any defender or attacker , Southwood is standing on his line , he must be commanding this area , he actually finishes behind the line , in the net . He must boss this area . Admittedly our defend...

Re: BFTG - Blackpool (A)

I can only comment on the highlights shown on Sky . First 2 goals , headers within 4 yards of goal line . Weak goalkeeping , this is his area . Third goal , where were the defenders , nowhere near the attacker who has a direct path to goal , why isn’t he marked , when two of them get to him , they c...

Re: If you could attend 1 game you missed...

I also missed the Robin Friday goal game , had to endure years of a mate telling me about it , but I did see the Man. Utd , Watney Cup game , and the last home game of the previous season when we scored 8 , ( I dodged out from a family wedding to go to the game )
