Harry the Cat

His attitude stinks. 😷

He’s on loan, yet he’s the one player that shows heart, fight, passion and desire. It’s a pity most of our overpaid players don’t match his commitment to the club.

True

We ‘didn’t allow Calvin Bassey’ to leave. He wanted to leave. He didn’t want to play centre back. And guess what…

Going forward, Mavididi was strong 💪. He took his goal brilliantly. But do feel he is lazy tracking back and helping Thomas. This puts Luke under pressure because he is caught dealing with two players. In addition, too often Thomas gets on the wrong side of his player. I also wish he’d stop pushing players over. Agree, Fatawu was poor.

The Welsh Ollie. Full of bluster and bull. Even more up himself. About him and not the club. Would be a disaster in my opinion.

He creates nothing when he goes forward. Passes either sideways or backwards. When he does cross, he invariably doesn’t get past the first man. Defensively he’s fragile. He tackles like a powder puff. All in all, in my opinion he’s useless and shouldn’t be near the team. Neither should Thomas.

Sack him and who do you bring in? Whoever is suggested will not suit most people on this forum. Anyway, it masks the fundamental problem. The overpriced and overpaid players we have lack personal pride and the mental strength to fight for this club. They do not demonstrate the desire and resilience to secure sustained improvement. Until we get rid of most of this team, we will continue to sack the manager and results will be the same.

Rang the ticket office about the previously stated problem. Ryan was super helpful. Problem swiftly resolved. E-ticket for the Pompey game now loaded and ready to go.

Has anyone received the Portsmouth ticket in your wallet yet? I’ve had all the other home game tickets in good time (Wednesday, Brum, Cov and Wrexham). No notification regarding the Pompey game as yet. Are others in the same boat?

Panto season has started early

He’s been booked twice for going to ground too easily. Needs to cut this out.

He spoiled the game. Whistle happy. Got in the way of play. Made some quite ridiculous decisions

Do do do, come on and do the Monga do.do do, our teenage wonderkid

Have you only just realised that?

I’m trying to think about it…but don’t get how they’re all British but MC isn’t.

How do you work that out?

You’re joking aren’t you? What do you know about our club? Surely you remember Claudio Ranieri for instance? I don’t think Ruud was British. Paulo Souza? Sven?

Anybody else read Michael Calvin’s book Living on the Volcano? Chapter 16, Seeing through the noise is an interesting insight into Dyche’s background and philosophy. Worth a read. It might influence or confirm people’s perception of him.

Haha. My mistake. Well spotted. Should have said Vichai of course!!

The demise started with the helicopter crash and Top’s death. From that point onwards, in my view we completely lost focus. Consequently, we have declined from one of the best run clubs to the sorry state we are in currently. Poor recruitment, lack of accountability, woeful resource management and the lack of clear strategic direction has led us to the utter shambles we find ourselves in to date.

I want to see fight and determination. I want to see energy and passion. I want to see players working for and supporting each other. I want to see players demonstrating pride in wearing the shirt and representing the foxes. 🦊 I want wingers to take on full backs, midfielders to tackle, track back and wherever possible play progressively. I want defenders to communicate and show aggression. I want forwards to show good movement and be ruthless in front of goal. In fact, the polar opposite to what I’ve witnessed this season.

Give Dean Smith a break. He hardly ‘failed’ here. The damage was done well before he arrived and he only had a handful of games to salvage our season. Who knows what might have happened if Castagne’s last minute effort against Newcastle had gone in. Agree that he would be better than Martin. Anyway, he’s managing in the States with Charlotte isn’t he?

Cannot understand this blind determination to play possession football building from the back a la Man City. It works for Man City because they have the players to implement it. However, the top teams have sussed it out. The opposition allow City to have possession but have a low block which they are increasingly finding it hard to penetrate. Flair players are turned into work horses who invariably play across or back. We suffered to some extent against Millwall and Plymouth towards the end of the last championship campaign. Listen to the crowd when our wingers and midfielders opt to pass back or across instead of taking a player on or being more progressive. In addition, we do not have the players to implement this effectively. How many goals did Saints give away playing out of defence this season? Look at the mess on Saturday when the keeper dwelled too long on the ball and his clearance was blocked almost leading to a goal. We had similar situations under Enzo too. We need to look at teams like Palace, Brentford, Fulham and Forest and see what is working for them. A clear style allied to fit, determined, committed and hard working players could possibly be a more successful approach in my opinion.
