It’s probably been said, but given the pickle we’re in which has been said in this thread, we also lack the characters to get out of trouble.

I meant his playing career as opposed to his life

What if we could resurrect and bring back to life Alan Rogers? I think he’d have a fair shot of getting games over Kristiansen.

I’m not so sure Fatawu gets sold. He’s looked good in the PL but will only have played a handful of games before getting a serious injury. Potential suitors may not want to pay what we’d want for someone with so few PL games under his belt.

I thought we got nothing

Who cares. If certain people are still overseeing all of this you know squad building and decision-making in the close season will be poor, so why get invested.

He is one of the worst full backs at this level I have ever seen. He’s so one dimensional and limited. He works hard, but offers no quality whatsoever. I’d rather have Luke Thomas. Blonde haired Alan Rogers.

Just imagine if we had saved the £20m on Skipp with the thinking that it would be good to strengthen in January and spend that money. I don’t think that’s a benefit of hindsight thing, just good planning. I hate what we’ve become.

The problem isn’t the manager. The problem lies in the reasons we are shopping in the bargain basement for the likes of BCDR and Ayew. That Rudkin has the audacity to turn up to games is also starting to wind me up. Do you think he realises or appreciates why fans might be a bit annoyed?

No he wasn’t

Play like that for the rest of the season and we’ll be absolutely fine 🤣

I absolutely agree with you. I wasn’t making excuses. I’ve been put off lately taking my 6 year old daughter to her first home game recently as those who sit near me need to wash their mouth out every 2 minutes. It’s a problem, I’m just not sure how to deal with it.

There’s no getting away from that some people express themselves like this. It’s reality, unless you want football to attract more a rugby type crowd.

Please tell me this is real… 🤣 I’m asking more in hope

Exactly. I think he’s essentially endorsing the protest against the regime. It’s certainly not favouring the regime or neutral, and so by default I think is supportive

Absolutely this. This is when it can be traced back to. We lost a strong person with acumen about building a business empire and he was replaced by his son - like some sort of medieval kingdom. I think we held it together for a bit after that, but there were signs before the cup final with certain players running down contracts etc. I think the window where we lost Fofana, didn’t sign Lookman, but then signed Faes late on, reflects everything that’s gone wrong with strategy, decision-making and recruitment.

More than well deserved

Superb. Have seen the update on the funding page - great work

I remember having a similar debate about Alan Rogers and Chris Makin. But I agree. I’m not sure what anyone sees in VK, he’s such a one dimensional full back. Our Luke is not a world beater, but I do think he’s better than VK.

From what I saw last night, Ndidi coming back and hopefully staying fit give us half a chance. He was directing people around and using his experience to lead - we’ve been massively lacking that. I’d like to think he cares enough and that it will rub off on those around him.

He’s shit and he’s been shit at every level we’ve played at (other than one game in Moscow). He had too much grace period because of his effort and smiley face. Need to cut our considerable losses.

I was in the corporate area tonight and I spent a few mins before kick off chatting to a former player in the media box. When we got on to Monga he basically said he’s made the first team squad to bulk up his reputation and fee, and that’s he’s off - he’s received offers from everyone bla bla bla. There was winking going on on and all sorts when I probed… None of this will be surprising, but thought I’d share anyway.

I was in the corporate home area tonight and the away fans were magnificent. I just tried to post a photo but it was too big. Bravo everyone. As for the game… underwelming really. We did ok until we had the opportunity to shit our pants and then we did.

Really excited to see him and Jake Evans. I hope at least one of them starts.

Alan Rogers was better than Victor Kristiansen
