We’ll go and win this - hopefully with some dubious officiating

Why not - we’re playing the exact same system he was, both with and without the ball. Ruud has tried to make minor changes defensively, such as engaging higher and defending narrower - but it’s the same horrible setup that offers little in attack and the same in resistance going the over way.

I wonder if he’s considered giving Mike Phelan a call.

Well that was shocking. The most disappointing thing is there needed to be a shape change in our defensive structure. Garner is a dangerous player with the ball and was continually finding space between the lines of our defensive shape. But equally, our attacking patterns are very stale and unimaginative. You look at the numbers Everton get in and around the ball when they have it, there’s a fluidity about their play. To be frank - we’re playing in the exact same manner as we were under Cooper.

Get on with ya. Reactionary bullcrap!

I think Ruud should seriously consider a substitution - like, now! It’s just been completely unacceptable so far.

😂 Wonderful stuff! Lull them into a false sense of security - what a cunning plan Captain Vestagaard!

But he did!

I’ve heard this guy can be so smooth. Rudkin; make it real or else forget about it.

He’d be our first rock-jazz combo guitarist

They did

I guess this puts paid to the “why can’t we be run like Brighton” comments in here for a few weeks at least.

People forget that making transfers isn’t an exact science and that as easily as you can end up getting a batch of players that make you look like geniuses; you can also easily sign a crop that make you look like idiots.

The problem is, in their haste to accuse Trump of being crass and distasteful in the aftermath of a deeply sad incident - those pointing the figure are doing exactly the same. It feels to me more emphasis needs to be made of the freedom to remain silent - because if everyone speaks, no one has a clue what’s going on.

I wasn’t convinced by him, were you 😂

I’m pretty certain the WSL is the equivalent of League One - maybe @Leicesterpool can confirm 😂

We’ve signed another striker! That’s two in two days! https://www.lcfc.com/pages/en/media-article/lcfc-women-recruit-colombian-forward-karla-torres (I don’t dare give it’s own thread today mind 😂)

I’m not sure if you can fully put this on the player. If Villa didn’t want to sell, they could have said no - but they were never going to. A pile of cash towards PSR and from a club that is not a direct rival. So once the club has accepted the bid, does the player really have the agency to turn the transfer down (assuming there are no other matching bids) - or is the reality that Villa make it quite clear this transfer is good for the club and therefore it’s good for you?

Ah, the Craig Levein era - brings fond memories ’right back’

What? It’s a signing! 🎣

I think a general state of discontent is now the norm across fans on social media. For example I’ve come across a lot of disgruntled Brighton fans no less when checking out for news and views on Evan Ferguson. Wolves fans do have strong justification to be raging mind.

That’s world wide figures across a season - so I expect it’s mostly made up of the Ronaldo fan club members.

I don’t think it’s even big in Saudi? Average attendance across the league of around 9,000, TV viewership of around 200 million to put some hastily googled figures on it. For a comparison - it is suggested that the Premier League averages over 600 million viewers per match.

Spurs going well again tonight I see!
