Ric Flair

Simply has to start vs Oxford.

Quite staggering how poor his handling has been recently. Everyone was raving about him vs West Brom but some of the saves were palmed back in to danger that we got away with. That one last night is so weak, it's muscle memory of palming everything as standard and not having the millisecond ability to judge what can and can't be retained. Poor

Page should be starting this. Hopefully Marti's last game, disgrace of a team.

I think a guest appearance could happen but having chatted with him a few days ago he's suffering as much as we are with our decline and is difficult to get too worked up about it. Which leads to the opposite, which is disengagement.

Agreed

Hahahahahaha apologise to them for my language an'all 😂

Outstanding

£6m-ish

They can't do that, the verdict will be decided by the IC. The EFL cannot delay handing it down unless it's suspended and only active by a set of circumstances.

Hahahahaa my best mate is a Cov fan. I'm talking about you collectively rather than individuals. Some of you are sound 😂

What angers me most about this defeat, is not the fact we've lost to them utter arseholes (which is never acceptable) but how easy we made it for them that 2nd half. They were bang average, bordering on dog muck both yesterday and at our gaff in September. They were far more dangerous against us two years ago but it counts for nothing when we leave no stone unturned in our pursuit of defeat. It's pathetic how we disintegrated like wet bog roll, you could see us desperate to make some horrific gaffe to gift them the winner. They must be pissing themselves, almost any other team yesterday beats them after their 1st half performance, but not us. We love not turning up 2nd half, unless we've not turned up 1st half and 2 or 3 zip down. I will never not be disgusted at a loss to Cov, but it doesn't hurt as much as it should and that's a sad indictment over the apathy and decline of our football club. Next week, the next defeat will hurt even less and probably find it funny. We are the absolute pits

The reason why he will play at the highest level for a long period is his defensive ability for a flair player. We are a car crash at the minute so he looks anyhow. Put him in a structured team again where he has clear instructions on how to function and create overload where he gets time and space and he is devastating. Like many who criticised KDH here and he's gone on to iron out the poor decision making, Abdul will do the same and then some.

Reminds me of when we had Fulop on loan, head and shoulders our best player in a horrific season/era.

Looks very progressive but already played for two clubs this season so will be one for next season for any interested party.

Listen on occasion to the nordic football podcast. I will message them and see what their take is on him.

He was part of the problem, it just was not as visible as the defensive frailties in the 2nd half. We had the freedom of the pitch for the entire 1st half and Reid was found 3-4 times and wasted 3 glorious crosses and cut backs. However, there were also several other crosses that were cleared because Ayew had made the wrong decision in his movement, all within the 6-12 yard box that had he got 1 or 2 of the multiple ones right then we are 2-3 nil up and the game is a completely different one in the 2nd half. We so badly need a proper striker it's painful. Likewise we need full backs that can support attack and defend, we are the pits right now.

To be fair Owynn and Jack regularly have me, Jake and Jord on and we are very critical of our club and owner. They just won't necessarily go in on them themselves.

Both are amongst the best players in the division, if this lad is even half as good it's a major improvement on Ayew and Daka.

I'm fascinated who the other two strikers we're in talks with. We need to get this signing right as yesterday was clear as day why we will do absolutely nothing without a proper striker. Bobby Reid may have appeared to be the villain at wasting glorious cut backs and crosses but what was stark to me was other very good positions we got in that Ayew was absolutely nowhere or making the wrong decisions in where to move to as the crosses came in.

Yeah something like that, will have a look. Hang on

Not allowed to do that now, been a rule change. We coild i suppose agree to a loan with an obligation the summer after.

Leo Walta 100%

Scores a lot of cut backs and from crosses, he'd have gor 2 or 3 today in that 1st half. Only concern here is, he's clearly had 1 breakout year and who knows if he can kick on. Cifuentes has a truly appalling record with strikers so it will be difficult for him but hopefully he's gone very soon anyway.

Agreed, although last handful he's been ineffective so wouldn't have been surprised if he'd gone with Page.

Until we find out about an extra year has been activated.
