Come off it you should know better than that Not really, I don't think Gnonto had an issue, fitness wise, at all. If his hammy was problematic he doesn't play to start with, you don't play 80 minutes on a dodgy hamstring... so the hammy wasn't the issue unless he'd indicated it was which seems very...

Funny that I was actually thinking of O'Leary myself earlier and his use of, or more importantly faith in his kids. I think people forget though Piroe is still only 24 though. To have 2 full seasons at Swansea and come away with 40 odd goals at this level was exactly the type of striker we needed t...

Of course you dont have the data flowing to you from the sidelines to tell you how is body is coping and how far they have run, how many sprints they have made and what the forecast affect this will have on his body. Farke will have been warned by the medical team as to his limits and how much he c...

I think how we have used Joel this year has been criminal. He's gone from the hottest property in the Championship to this. Not only does he look like he has forgotten how to score but also what he actually is supposed to do. Almost as if his goal scoring brain is now stuck in pre-season mode reall...

Don't worry about it swan, I'm used to it, if it winds them up I'll keep doing it. Though all I'm doing is reporting what I see, it's their problem not mine. Thanks for the support though.

Gnonto really wasn’t run ragged. If he can play 80 I’m fairly sure he could’ve managed the last 10. No idea what game you’re watching if you think that. His subs ruined any momentum that we had. Absolutely, and Gray, an 18 year old rookie who looked dead on his legs, stays on. I don't think there's...

I think it was the subs for me. The only way we’d win that is to have carried on as we were. They smelt of panic not calm assurance. If you explain the point of that triple change I’m all ears. As for the Gnonto one don’t bother. Utter stupidity on Farkes behalf. We're back to fish again ..or Iron

Top three have scored one goal in6 matches.. We all playing crap at the moment, we were better than Leicester today than than they were Friday. Not seen the Ipswich game but I've seen the last two and they don't look a better team

Farke needs to get hold of this,

For a change, Farke subbed him earlier today.

And we got worse

Whatever division we're in next season, we need to sign an established, prolific striker. Blackburn have one in Szmodics, 30 goals this season in a poor team. Rare as rocking horse s**t as I said before. Took Man City 2/3 seasons to get one. Chelsea and Manure have thrown a lot of money at it and s...

Farke said, "If we get 30 corners and don't score what's the answer? 40 corners I guess." That's completely wrong. We need better corners. Quality not quantity. Better corners, I don't think Summerville/James etc should be anywhere near the corner flag when we get one. We don't often get ...

1964white wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 6:02 pm Yes we did, he lost control of the ball when in a good position.

Piroe needs to get into the box & not drifting deep as he often does.

Agreed, his first touch, like Paddy's, is very heavy and neither are great at recovering from that position.

We look devoid of ideas, especially against spoiler teams. I keep harping on, we have two central midfielders who can't score & create goals. We have no one running into the box from deep, such as a Bowyer/Howson type. We've had 27 corners vs Sunderland & Blackburn & haven't even look l...

He spends too much time looking for penalties that don’t exist. Maybe he should put that effort in to getting on the end of a cross like Jimmys near the end there. There are two Paddy's. At his best he stays on his feet, chases down with intelligence, fights for the ball and often gets a shot away....

I do wonder should we have persuaded Luke to stay....old head, great in the dressing room etc....would be a great asset right now I think I didn't like any of the decisions to let players go in Jan... except the Spuds FB. But I guess we don't know if they wanted game time, past a certain age player...

It's a snide knock on my ratings...

The 4 positions you should spend the most on as the quality is rare are, and in order: Defensive mid, maybe the most specialized position on the pitch these days Striker, there's just not enough established/quality ones to go round, not even close. Left sided CB, right sided CB are easy to find. Cre...

Can kind of understand why no one wants to go up: Leicester - points deduction and forced to sell players for ffp - squad not good enough so will need replacing Ipswich - won't have the money to compete - squad not good enough so will need replacing Leeds - squad not good enough so will need replac...
