Seems a manager can't have a bad run without getting the sack. Watch how quickly some fans sharpen the knives if we lose 3 in a row under Farke.

I don't see any reason why we would look to do a deal in January. Rodon has no release clause so he is here till the summer where we can then assess dependant on what division we are in. Whilst Gnonto isn't getting much game time that could change very quickly as all it takes is an injury to Summerv...

Some excellent posts on this. When I heard we were after Farke in the summer he was the one for me. I'd have liked Iraola but that would have been much more of a gamble. With Farke it was an excellent fit given what he had done before in getting Norwich promoted. Yes there were the concerns about hi...

so come the summer we could be collecting approx £30-35 Million is sales Trouble is that collecting fees might actually mean we have less to spend because of FFP. Take Aaronsen for example and let's say we paid £25m for him on a 5 year contract. He depreciates for FFP purposes by £5m per year. So i...

:shock: He would have sorted the last bit out Kenneth. He would have bought in all the tallest players we could afford and then we would have murdered teams at set-pieces. A bit like the Monk stint. The Monk stint is another good example. Lots of games where we weren't the better side but won cos C...

If Waitrose did shits.....

I think (apprehensively) i'm looking forward to seeing some bit part rotation, some unforced changes with say Gruev for example, and like Ian says with Gray, i'm not sure yet of a midfield 3 (if it ain't broke) it could be to unsettling to what the players have become trained for, to go to a 4-3-3 ...

Is he your idol?

Shout ? Perhaps i just wish you'd give us something Cjay, like when you comment about defensive or coaching woes, why don't you tell us what you'd do, why it is going wrong in your view, where it's going wrong and what's causing it. You cannot have it ALL these days, if you want our attacking flair...

Had a few nice forward moves in the first half especially, some nice tidying up and one bit of flair on the touchline to turn the attacker and bring the ball forward. BUT I would love him in a MF rotation with Kamara and Ampadu. Can we expect those two to play every minute this season? Would agree ...

Had a 99% pass accuracy . . .never seen that before. Goal saving challenge as well. By far the more solid of the cbs. Wonder if Struyjk is just getting used to his body after the hernia ops. Might have just affected him slightly in things like his natural running style which can then also affect ti...

Did you think we played that well? I dunno mate I think we are on the verge of a huge car crash. We made nothing of the extra man apart from concede a huge chance. In any case we have the hardest run of the season coming up and will have to play a bit better imo I felt we deservedly won. Boro could...

Everton win. They’ll probably get out of trouble. Dyche not the terrible manager he’s supposed to be? Without the deduction they would be on 17 points from 14 matches - hardly breathtakingly brilliant. Would normally put them on target for 46 points for the season - so assuming the 10 point deducti...

True :) But in my defence his injury record makes Forshaw look like a stalwart :oops: That was the major concern imo But he's been very solid physically and on pitch so far Big difference though is that when Forshaw wasn't injured he was shite. Byram uninjured was always a class player. Was delight...

Possibly, but not so sure, the points total they have managed isn't just phenomenal for a newly promoted team it's pretty a league record. And they are playing very decent stuff Only thing that I think may catch up with them is the concede a lot. They are actually a better version it seems points t...

Wanted to give DF credit today for something more general. Ironically a strange game for it given Struijk and Rutter had poorer games by the usual standard. But Archie was immense. I think Farke has done well to build the team around the right players. It would have been easy for him to let Ayling ...

This could become a problem with the intense schedule we've ahead. It raises the question as to why Farke doesn't at least introduce subs earlier in the games. I think Farke is right in starting our best side but you can see players flagging around the 70th minute, or even earlier, but no subs seem...

Pos. Three points. Neg. We are going to get an absolute pasting if we can't find a way to defend. I think that we showed against Leicester that we can defend - that was a very professional display expecially keeping Vardy quiet. I rather think we play according to the opposition, Farke knew Boro wo...

We are quite simply still a work in progress, i'm under no illusion of where we currently stand in terms of holding our own in the Prem. We are still short. But like Sara says, 1 step at a bloody time, let's deal with the task in hand the best way we can with what we've been left with. Byram's been...

+great win over what many think are a promotion rival - still early but autos not getting any closer despite our form The main positive there though is that Leicester and Ipswich certainly seem far more vulnerable than they did a few weeks back. Leicester have been shaky recently and scraped the 3 ...
