Considering they are both in the Championships best XI and Cry ,the best of the lot ,seems like a reasonable tactic. Isn't it ? But then when it's clearly not workjng, as sides stick 3/4 players on them, then what? Gnonto is just as good as Summerville. It's just because Farke didn't play him for h...

So we are all agree that the starting selection was to everyone's liking. But wait it has not resulted in any goals Farke has really screwed up. But wait he will try and rectify it with sub's, but they don't work either. Farke has screwed up again. You seem to think that everything I ever did was w...

Bearing in mind we had to win the game or at least get a point, no way should we have taken off our best attacking option & most effective defensive midfielder. What were Summerville & Archie doing to justify staying on the pitch? Connor Roberts, unlucky to be subbed too as he was one of ou...

Rutter was the most disappointed sub on the sidelines, he and Piroe just aren't a pairing for whatever reason, they just don't click at all, whichever one you put as the spearhead, it's not for happening with them two at all. If we're on the attack for the remainder, i'd include Cooper, and move Am...

Man City now the only team unbeaten at home after this weekend's results

We also don't have a player that can hold the ball up (without falling over).

That's where someone like Cresswell would be a good option to knick one from a corner, but he's nowhere to be seen.

Xabi Alonso eh? I wanted him to replace Bielsa in the summer of 2022 haha. Congrats to him, an amazing achievement. Hopefully they go unbeaten and win the treble too.

You could see where the frustration was coming from on Saturday, every time we got near the box, they passed to Rutter, who had about 4 players crowding round him, when there was plenty of space to either shoot or play someone else in. It's predictable and one dimensional, and that's the tactic they...

I thought the starting line up was good, and had Farke not fucked up with the triple change, I think we would've won. A point would've actually been decent as well. Unfortunately Farke will panic and revert to the previous failing line up, meaning Bamfraud and James will start and Gnonto will be ben...

Maybe from a ffp perspective but from a cash flow perspective we still owe huge sums of money even this year. Final payments for Rodrigo, Koch etc will be in our next set of accounts, last payment for them is 2024 so this year. James, Firpo, Aaronson, Harrison, Rutter, all still will be being paid ...

Amortisation. Part of that £190mil will be for people like Rodrigo. We still have to pay what we owe, if you buy a player for £20mil on a 4 year contract you pay £5mil a year over those 4 years. If you sell him for £5mil year 3 that covers that payment but you still owe the £5mil for year 4. And be...

He's nearly 27 with no PL experience, and Spurs will likely demand £20-30m (which we would absolutely be foolish enough to pay) but others wouldn't.

The accounts are a potential nightmare. Won't be many clubs relegated ever who owed £190mil and were only due to receive £2mil. Parachute payments only cover a small fraction of that, we'd need to raise £100-150mil from sales just to cover that. Then what do we use to rebuild the squad which is lik...

We would have to buy Rodon. Spurs will not loan him in the last year of his contract unless no one wants to buy him. I cannot see that happening. Regardless these are issues to chew the fat over once this season is decided and we are aware of our status. I still believe as it currently stands we ha...

This club just never learns from it's massive mistake through relying on Bamford season after season. It's a weird delusion that is shared by some fans. - Straight after being signed he had a long term injury which kept him out for ages. - During the promotion season Bamford went through one of his...

I think you are deluded. If we fail to go up this year. The likes of gnonto, summerville, ampadu, rutter, gray just to name a few won't be here. And the money from the sales won't all go on rebuilding because they will need to balance the book and take into consideration ffp, but beside this where ...

The issue yesterday was Geo and Jimmy were absolutely dire, and Blackburn put two/three players on them whenever they got the ball. Obviously Farke has no idea if they're not winning us the game, so subbed Gnonto when those two should've been off. Gnonto can win the game on his own as much as those ...

People keep saying we’d struggle next season if still in the Cesspit but is that definitely the case or doom & gloom talk. Yes there’ll be teams coming down who should in theory be in a strong position but this year there are potentially 4 teams in the 80s. What does that say about the rest 💩 T...

I am a bit more optimistic today. It was a bit of a freak result yesterday. We had a lot of possession, shots and corners. If we keep that up in the next three games, we will get a few points on the board. Worst case scenario, we can win the playoffs. One positive with the playoffs, is teams will b...

every team in the championship? squad not good enough so will need replacing But we have the best squad so the best chance of giving it a go. We do have fair bit of premier quality and it's young. The gap between the first and second tier gets wider every year and the EPL are encouraging that. IF w...
