We don't need to replace him. Coulibaly and Ricardo + Okoli occasionally are enough cover at this level

I'd even take 5m + Xm bonus if they stay up. Possibly the last chance we have of getting a fee for him.

You can't say Nelson isn't good enough on the ball and then talk about Vestergaard. Even if his passing ability was marginally better, he rarely makes use of it and it's outweighed by him having the turning circle of an oil tanker and being the worst header of a ball I've ever seen. Two years ago there was an argument Nelson wasn't ready, right now he's wasting his career on the bench.

Two CDMs yesterday followed the ball into the box and were in a different postcode to Chalobah when he scored. We need Ricky doing the 6 role again, a player with actual positional awareness.

Unfortunately the only way for a real clean slate is to sell the players and we're genuinely abysmal at getting rid of deadwood. All managers would love to come in and start again but the reality is that you can only change 3 to 5 players per season and it takes 3 transfer windows to change an entire culture or squad. They can't simply bin them off. It's not impossible though. Brian Little turned 3 or 4 seasons of garbage round pretty rapidly. Micky Adams turned the Taylor failures into winners again.

TBF I'd have him and Nelson back there. Despite their goals today Faes and Lurch should be open to bids.

The usual "football in a library" got an outing but their obvious focus is the poison chairman.

Properly zipping. I was in K and a few landed near us. You obviously get a bit extra velocity than a lightweight 2p. They've always travelled well though, them Leeds and Newcastle always seem to have an extra notch on the volume. If ever a club deserved some Saudi oil cash......

My God. They've managed to make the stadium announcer even more shouty and excitable 🙉

Did it involve that utter ****stain Jennings? Guy was saying a couple of days ago that the likes of Brighton should never be playing European opposition in anything but a friendly. I said a while back Bristol had momentum from last season. I'll throw Stoke into that mix too. Robins worked miracles down the M69, could get a tune out of Stoke too.

I seem to remember a fair bit of sympathy from Wednesday when we were in the shit. Cov on the other hand said "let them go under" which is why I was more than happy with their slide into oblivion. Your club is a massive example to our fans of what happens when your attitude is "they own the club so they can do what they want". All the best for today with the protest.

Pricey. Also on their 3rd name change trying to get over the "mouse incident".

Oh come on. I'm not going into this in the transfer thread but the odd saving tackle doesn't make up for his abysmal positioning or terrible decision-making.

So I've downloaded to an old phone (bizarrely my newer one doesnt have NFC) which has no SIM in it. Do I need any sort of internet connection for it to scan properly or does the NFC tech just pick up the signal from the phone? Concerned I won't be able to open wallet up at the ground. Pissed off I'm even having to check this sort of thing to attend a football match.

He must be ready to sack his agent. Every time he tells him there's no bids he probably does that same look of disbelief with his arms out wide that he does after every goal he's responsible for. Says something when even the promoted clubs are happy with what they've got over him.

What was Ward doing there? 🤣 It genuinely looked like that video of the robot diving 3 secs after the ball had gone 😁

Im sure they said the away kit would be before the first away game

Your mood in 10 words? Another season wasted down with the dead men. Rudkin Out. Where will we finish? 4th How many points will we be deducted? 6 Who will be our most important player? Abdul Who will be top scorer? Our new striker What are you most excited about? Fatawu tearing it up What are you most worried about? Success leading a fat bonus for Jon and his chums. What’s one thing you most want to see this season? Rudkin out Which player is going to surprise us? Skipp Which player do you most want out the door? Faes Which player linked with a move are you most desperate to keep? Mads has already gone Will Martí Cifuentes still be the manager this time next year? Yes

F£%#&@g hell And the stick I took online when I dared to suggest a large number of our fans were casual, unknowledgeable and far less engaged with their club than many fan bases. Group of blokes in hoodies & tees walk down the front of the stand with banners and surfers made from plastic sheeting and our lot think its a club display?

Its the momentum thing. Brum amassed 115 pts or whatever last season. Ipswich couldnt buy a win. You don't just stroll into somewhere like that and boss it.

Wasyl. To quote a bloke behind us last season "We need a Wasilewski back there, half these goals don't get conceded if you've got some big Polish c**t elbowing strikers in the 2nd minute"

They'd only offer £6m so they can sell to Chelsea in a year for £106m

He needs to play himself into contention. Look back at Joachim, or Heskey. They didn't start the season but made impacts off the bench and in cups during their first campaigns and made themselves undroppable. Others like Barnes or Chilwell did it on loan. You can't just decide, they're young so play them. Let him get a few sub apps and a few assists or goals coming on as an impact then we'll know if he's ready for a run in the side.

I don't know what people see in him to base this on. Guy next to me on Sunday said he was happy to see him up top because he's a natural finisher. He's shown no movement, finishing ability or desire.

Sky still mentioning interest from Everton. If Moyes is as deperate for a bigger squad as is being suggested, he'll be holding out for that deal. You don't go to Turkey if there's PL interest.
