  • Neil 161 I agree with everything you say, as you say and I said in my post we lack pace but I don't see anyone in our squad who has true pace. For the Bournemouth game on Tuesday I would be tempted to play Beto with Ndaiye just behind in the 10 role, play Dibling on the right and have Garner and KDH in central midfield. I feel that Ndaiye has great feet but and maybe playing him more central and slightly further up the pitch he may be even more effective. Also it reduces his defensive work having to come back and help O,Brien out. Also with Ndaiye off to the AFCON in a couple of weeks Dibling needs game time. ...

  • Neil, mate, 'Got a lot of my chest there on this very dull sad grey Sunday morning'. At ;least you didn't have to shovel 9 inches of snow in 6 below freezing while cursing that shite no-show, except for KDH....

  • Against a top team, we need a lot of luck to get a favourable result. Raymond, mate, they were three points below us, which makes Moysey's post-match drivel even more whacky....

  • This cant be just down to those who want to have a go at Moyes. Firstly the same team + Tim started giving us 11 players who you would have expected to put in a similar spirited performance. For me this defeat is down to the following. 1. We cannot defend corners or crosses. (Pickford is a great shot stopper but does not command his areas like great keepers do )therefore putting all the responsibility on the tall defenders to have eyes in the back of their heads to identify threats. 2. I though Tim would be the best like for like replacement for Gana, Oh how wrong I was. He was awful, couldnt trap the ball to clear for he second and was physically weak in the challange for the third. Badly need a strong physically imposing defensive midfielder to replace Gana. 3. When we were on top after the first goal we have no one to provide a telling pass. Jack gets load of possession but I am now asking myself what doe he do with it, gets double marked and maybe draws a free but he never sho...

  • I thought it would be a tough game and may lose but not by that margin. They were just too good and too strong for us, I think for the quality of our team we have been punching above our weight in recent matches. With the exception of 3 or 4 players we are a bottom half team, but I think we know that. Against a top team, we need a lot of luck to get a favourable result. We need strengthening urgently in the next window, but that wont be easy....
