    It’s easy to blame Iraola…

    There are so many players I am still waiting to see something, anything from to prove they add to our quality. The reality is that our recruitment team has managed to spend a fortune over the past 3 seasons weakening the team. And since they still have jobs, they don't seem to be held...

    Andoni Iraola

    Sorry, tier 2 and 3 players I meant on the books, rather than the new signings. Although I still think we have a lot of players who will struggle in the premier league but do a job in the lower leagues. I think you could argue that players like Christie and Solanke fall into that category. Yet...

    Andoni Iraola

    I really worry about the group of players we have. Iraola's ideas are clearly partially getting through and at times look promising, but there are moments of poor discipline/concentration/fitness are costing us every game. Maybe there's also an intelligence factor. Yesterday we looked atrocious...

    Positives and negatives v Notts Forest

    To be fair, i don't think any team in the PL would be satisfied with less than 3 points against either of us. Southampton, Everton and Wolves have all been terrible, but I just can't see any of them failing to go on a small run before the end of the season.

    Al Gard RIP.

    I haven't been active on the forum for a couple of years, this week i finally have a peak and find out this :( Al was combative, sometimes controversial, sometimes non-factuAL. But behind every message was some underlying true fact. His scepticism and critical thinking helped put sufficient...

    Positives and negatives v Notts Forest

    The big concern for me is that, despite being the better team for 60 mins, it was only Forest. Forget current league position, they are the worst team in the league and still the only team i think we have a realistic chance of finishing above. Failure to close the gap on them has to be viewed...

    Thoughts v Blackpool

    I'll take it but somehow doesn't feel fair for Blackpool. That was an awful, awful performance and on another day we could have lost by 3 goals. Kudos to Travers for an excellent display, and the team in stoppage time for trying to win. But please, SP, i don't want to see that again.

    Lewis Cook

    I haven't got any gripes with Lewis Cook and don't really understand the flack he's getting. Him and Kilkenny are very similar in playing styles and fulfill an important role. Not convinced they can play together though.

    ENOUGH WITH THE OVERLAPS!!

    The issue is it's execution, rather than the overlap itself. When attacking at pace it's a huge asset. But what we tend to do is overlap, then stop forward momentum while the winger and fullback pass it amongst themselves pointlessly for a few seconds. Sometimes we build the intensity in these...

    ENOUGH WITH THE OVERLAPS!!

    Sorry, but i strongly disagree. Overlaps are crucial for the way we play and i love watching it pulled off properly. It enables us to overload the fullback, which should result in us beating him more often than not.

    Angry beyond belief.

    Calm down guys. Yeah the first half was dismal, but the second we gave it a real go and played some good stuff, but the finishing was poor. The result was embarrassing but the performance somewhat less so. Boreham also defended really well and their goal was an excellent finish. Thought 2 of...

    Come on be honest.....

    I don't know if you genuinely miss my point or if you're just being contentious, so I'll try to explain a little more. Sure, as a club we have a lot more money coming in than others. Also we have an owner wealthier than most. I don't disagree with this. But the resources available to Scott...

    Arrest the Slide

    One big difference is that JT had Danjuma, whose individual brilliance got us and JT out of jail on a number of occasions. SP doesn't have that.

    Parker Out!

    If Parker is sacked, i guarantee you his replacement will be no better.

    Come on be honest.....

    Well we blew a bunch of money in the PL, the best talent all left and some of the money has been reinvested. Maybe our wage bill is higher than others, but that's certainly not reflective of the abilities of the players. The fact that players were overpaid in the past is not SP's fault.

    Come on be honest.....

    4 of our key players are kids from the youth team. Christie is the only genuinely creative player at the club, Billing to a degree but we all know he will disappear for 60-70% of games. I'm not sure where you magically assume the talent is for us to be walking the league with this squad...

    Come on be honest.....

    Depends on the goal i guess. If we are genuinely expecting automatic promotion, then yes, these performances of late have been terrible. Personally, i don't think we have the squad the expect automatic promotion. Somewhere between 6th and 10th seems about right IMO, so for me i think SP's done...

    Come on be honest.....

    I'm disappointed but didn't think we were as terrible today as some seem to. At least we're creating some chances. Who would have thought at the beginning of the season that losing Zemora would be such a blow? We desperately need Stacey to find his attacking form again. I still think SP's done...

    Non - Pandemic

    I agree with this. We recently had Covid in our house, daughter brought it home from school without any symptoms. After she'd had the PCR test confirming Covid we used her to test lateral flow tests. Of the 4 brands we tried, only 1 showed she was positive.
