James and his giant peach

Kimber only has one mode and it's slog. Very poor especially as he was set and like you say we onlg need 6 an over, stupid batting so far.

Far from easy on this pitch but wickets in hand is crucial and we lose the openers yet again for nothing. We need a big partnership here from Rehan and Billy Kimber.

Not the start we wanted at all, yet again.

Exactly what I was thinking, odd line up and that lack of batters will probably cost us. Need a good start.

Mixed. Trevaskis and Rehan were exceptional the rest very average. And that last ball was a farce, should have been an easy catch and ended up being 4 runs somehow. I think those last 3 overs were pretty costly and on this pitch with their 4 spinners and bowling attack I think we still struggle to get that score. Hope I'm wrong.

Brilliant post, best I've read on here in ages, and spot on. This appointment is absolutely crucial and Cleverley would be too big a risk right now.

I'm not surprised at all he wants to go. Club is a shambles and he has been here ages and wants a new challenge. Plus although he might be in a fair wage here he will still be able to pick up 50 or 60k a week in Turkey or Portugal or somewhere like that. When fully fit in his first couple of seasons here, he was amazing, probably best RB in the league. Then in the champ under Maresca he was best MF in the league and was a big part of us getting back up. Will always be loved but don't blame him one bit for getting out now.

Come off it, he'd absolutely be frothing at the mouth. He lives fairly local, our facilities and size of club, decent payday, if he fails just blame the finances and behind the scenes. Anyone half decent would still take the job because we have such amazing facilities and potential.

We did well to make a game of it after that start. I've never liked Ravi Bopara.

I couldn't find a stream on YouTube is it just me or us there not one?

Yeah I'm on about off the pitch too, can only comment on what I see, just seems like he thinks he's better than he is, but guess what you see in the media is different from how he is day to day.

Wow 20 for 5. Great start to the season but looks like a loss today. Looks like it was a good toss to win for Northants.

He may well be decent mate just comes across as a bit of a nob, and his full kit taking over interviews after the final he wasn't involved in was a bit cringe.

He was just as much of a twat and still is. Good player though.

Nothing beat the Vardy equaliser on the first game against Spurs. Genuinely came out of the ground thinking if we fought like that every week we could stay up. The second half was brilliant. It was all downhill from then on. The win at Southampton was decent, but even then it was a bit flukey and we wrre 2 down and should have had a pen against us. Obviously Vardy goal v Ipswich is probably best moment. Worst moment among many was the wolves home game. Ward and the whole team was shocking and it was obvious then we were in big trouble. Worst performance as a whole was probably that Wolves one or Brentford at home.

I know him fairly well and he's certainly not on 15k its more than double that.

He's played literally every game, helped them make the final then he plays Caicedo and that cvnt Enzo. If I was him I'd be leaving in the summer and playing regular football, he's wasting his time there.

What????? I seriously despair of some people. Do you even watch football? Fernandes is literally their only top class player and had been for a few years.

Depends what you mean by achieve. No he's not won the champions league but keeping Sheff weds up when they were adrift at the bottom then guiding them to mid table this season despite not spending any money and having to deal with cvntish owners not paying players is pretty decent. Russell Martin got Southampton promoted at the first attempt playing pretty good football against heavy favourites Leeds but apparently that's not an achievement either.

All the 3 teams up from league one will be strong and not near the bottom. Ipswich and saints will be fairly strong, Cov, Boro, Sheff Utd will be strong, I think it will be really competitive next year.

Because we will have no choice because of the utter mess we are in. We've got numerous cvnts on over 70k a week like Soumare, Faes, Vestergaard, Daka, Choudury, Winks, Coady that we will struggle to sell for any sort of fee, so the only 3 who we can sell for any cash will be Bilal, Mads and Fatawu. We will get nowhere near what they are worth.

Or passing to a team mate or running or dribbling or controlling a ball or heading or tackling or pressing or.................

Yes so you do agree, you say he isn't there and you'd be buying potential. I acknowledge it's quite hard to look too good in a team as bad as ours but still don't think he did that much. Lots of shots miles over the bar, lots of passes went astray, as I say all effort with not much end product. In a better team and with time, he may reach a higher level, but for me a number 10 in the prem needs more output in goals and assists. There's no way on earth we get £35m for him, if anything we get around what we paid from someone lower mid table like Wolves.

Honestly the Wolves goal where it trickled in was the first time I've been so angry at a match I felt like belting the person next to me. If it wasn't match fixing then it was the worst piece of goalkeeping since Kevin Pressmsn against Preston where their keeper scored. He was a different level of shit

Honestly, this might be controversial but he really isn't that good. He's a 20m player, so very decent but he's not too class he's not good enough to start regularly for most of the Premier teams I'd say. He's a poor man's Maddison, all fart and no shit.
