If BdcR is in the starting line up. If Ward and Mavididi are on the bench. We may as well all give up.

Yeah, but he won't play our best players.. And worse still, he's actually insistent on playing some of the worst. Not just our worst, like Luke Thomas or Bdcr. Not even the worst in the PL,.like Soumare. But amongst the worst in the world. Ward.

Anyone but Bdcr

The scale and speed of our strategic collapse had been breathtaking. There is no way on earth Glover, Rudkin and Cooper are on the same page. Zero plan. Young. Old. Potential. Zero potential. First teamers. Reserves. Any one will do. Millions on people looking in their mid forties. Mote.millions on those looking in their mid teens. Positions we don't need signed. Positions we do need neglected. I'm enjoying it tbh. A.club that won't sell tickets to fans without a full CRB check and detailed colonoscopy. A club that hires buses for Thai Tik Tokers. A club that's only kit design brief to Adidas is 'need gold'. It's fun to watch.

Tbf so would I

Cooper thinks Ward is better than Iversen. Just drink that in.

Vardy ain't the main anyways. Starting Vards is suicide. He cannot do the miles and lead the press needed. Daka was ahead of Vards in Cooper's plans.

As many posters have pointed out, we needed, in priority, 1. A KDH replacement. Which we should've identified way back in January and worked in a deal in principle in the next 6 months. 2. A bog standard all-rounder striker, replacing Kels and better than Cannon and (2024 series) Vards and Daka. 3. 2 or 3 young players - like the morrocon lad or Brighton lad - that we identified for random positions and like the look of. As you say, an absolute shambles

I'm with you. In the 80s there really wasnt anyone or anywhere to turn to for help. Teachers and Parents would often use phrases like 'dont tell tales' or 'it'll go away' or 'dont be so ridiculous' ...that was about it. Maybe I'm lucky, but my two have had a far happier, far more balanced, far less stressful childhood than mine (and most others from our era) which - I my case - was essentially a mix of total boredom and (largely and fortunately successfully) avoiding the bullies...(but the stress of constantly avoiding being the object of bullying was exhausting)

You know, I'm one of those weird people that think, particularly for Villa, we need that with Wilf at the top He's very fit and strong. He's a nuisance. He'll lead the press and despite his misses, he actually has that occasional glimmer of skill in the box (saints away last year, the cross for KDH at west Brom) Skipp looks really tidy and I just like players who have a good touch. It buys you an extra half a second all the time. We need fitness,. strength, speed and a bit of arrogance v Villa. And play it 'cup tie' style

Just the way Whelan likes it.

Ward. It's gross misconduct.

Iversen is no better than who? Ward? Are you serious?

Fair comment. It's the principle. Tbh I don't give a shit about the cup this season and as you say, he's unlikely to see much action. It's just Cooper's Liz Truss moment. It ain't normal and it's plan wrong. Bit you're right, the game itself is almost an irrelevance

I understand you bozo. I'm saying any manager that plays him at a level higher than, say, league 1 max, isn't right.

How can people get upset about the midfield when Ward is playing?

Iversen is employed by us and paid a very large wedge. He trains. He risks his body every day. He fcking plays. If not, then we play a Youth teamer

Iversen. Or a youth teamer. Dead easy.

There are better semi pro keepers. Not all. But plenty. On that basis, as a professional, he's amongst the worst

He's one of the worst professional goalkeepers in the world, that's why

It's unacceptable A man I reckon out of 2000 professional European goalkeepers he'd be in the lowest 250 An absolute disgrace Cooper

Ward. I'm sorry Steve but you're out for me. That's unforgivable

I doubt Rudkin knows which one either tbf Agent has just told him to bid 10m and he'll sort out a foreign player at a later date
