Congratulations BC. Hope all goes well with mother and baby.
Just a quick reminder for all those eulogising how good we were (and yes we were ultimately) when we won the Championship.
That season our first 10 league games our record was
Won 3
Drawn 3
Lost 4
F 14 A 13
Pts 12
Definitely a case of Howe OUT.
And look where it ended up..........................
I suggest all of us so called experts give Tindall (and no I didn't want him) and the team/formation etc time to settle down.

Cheers mate, all home well and good!
So you picked a game where the other team had a player sent off and largely gave up attacking as a typical game of football?I selected Palace away as I was one of the eight or nine hundred who witnessed that sorry show. There can't be anyone who left the away section anywhere remotely satisfied that night.
The pointy being that possession in itself, does not guarantee a good performance or a result (that's why I earlier posted about West Ham and Leicester yesterday).
By all means, let's keep hold of the ball. But that is only the half of it. We have to do something creative with it.

Didnt see that. Thought he played well. He was there to head clear and help out the defence too at several corners.If you read my verdict that’s basically what I say with regards to your comment on the Team. Solanke I stand by that score and it wasn’t prejudged. His continual losing of the ball and lack of game intelligence was poor
I’ve not been critical if you read the report you will see that. What I said was they are all getting to know each other and I’m hoping they are working out how to not have 37% possession at home. Hardly a damming critique! That team should be dominating games not being dominated.
The argument the ‘our Jason’ crowd had was that we needed continuity and had to hit the ground running. A new manager would be change and we couldn’t afford that time. Now the same people are saying it needs time?
We have a better squad than Norwich so I’d have expected us to dominate the game not them dominate us but it’s early days.
That’s a 20m centre forward for you. Obviously followed the same technique with that sitter on Sunday.. He was there to head clear and help out the defence too at several corners.
100%. Tired teams get more injuries tooMore often than not the teams that dominate possession finish higher in the table. Remember back to your playing days and you should remember how much harder you had to work if your team was not dominating possession. Tired legs and a slip of concentration can allow an opponent to escape. Think what happened when Ibe or Harry Wilson failed to track their man. Possession is the best form of defence. The key is how well you use that possession. Movement off the ball and quick passing is essential.

As Man City fans will tell you about John Stones... all the best squads have a weak linkHe's not rubbish he's a full England International leading the line in the best squad in the league... apparently.

Fulham 0-2 Aston Villa
It should be three and Villa should put the game to bed but Ollie Watkins gets his header from six yards all wrong and nods it wide of target.
You'd expect better from a £28m striker.
It even happens to £28m strikers Neil.
Wash your mouth out!......half of their squad has gone on strike anyway......not that's it is comparable to ours.....Neil is right in one thing.....we do have by far the classiest.....most exciting squad in the league.I'd be interested on your thoughts of Watfords squad Neil,its huge and player for player ,I believe way better and more expensive than ours.
You imagine wrong. Before yesterday the last four scores I have given him are 8,7,6 and 6... still don’t let facts get in the way of anything.I imagine he will be one of those players who will need to have a worldy to get a 6 from you then.
I’ve sat in the Bernabeu and seen Ronaldo miss from three yards and nearly break his toe kicking the post in frustration and he is worth hundreds of millions.from the BBC (again)
