He will still come at you, he had me for

1. Thinking Deulofeu would struggle fir fitness at start of season due to injury (didn't start a league gave until late September)
2. Thinking Kone wasn't up to it (lot of vaulting needed there)
3. Worried that our style of football wouldn't get us results with our players (how that working out?)
4.Fearing for us this season (justified)
5. needing a few more signings (what a tit I was for thinking that)
he had paragraph after paragraph and a few gifs it must have taken him so long to prove nothing

Oh how I laughed.

Fearing what exactly? Surely not relegation

I am going to get you in the plotters my friend your time has come

Haha not yet Daz. I remember saying last year that I'd give him to Xmas. We're pretty much there, and whilst there's been a change performance wise, points wise we're in the same boat. The cups are his saving grace at this stage. I still see potential.

aye it's easy to vault people on here, the word knee jerk comes to mind haha

I remember when chico vaulted me for criticising the manager just because we beat relegated qpr and John carvers Newcastle.

The draws are frustrating but last season we looked clueless on both ends of the pitch, now we're scoring goals but shipping them at the back. still think Jags would've made a huge difference holding on to leads. that being said we sit off and allow way to much space on the ball

You can clone 2 Baresi and we'll still end up with a clueless defense. Its not about who plays for us, it's about how we discipline we are and how much we wanted to win the ball back 10 to 20 yards from our penalty area. Defend is all about discipline and having the determination to run after the ball and try and win it back even if 80% of the time it might not be successful. Enforce this discipline higher up the pitch and the defense will face with less pressure every single game. It's all about effort and discipline. This is basic football, something that Martinez never appreciate.

I watched blackburn the other week and duffy was superb.
We gave him away for a million as well

Blackburn had a string of clean sheets with Duffy playing

He's very good in the air and at set pieces

Bit of a steal for Blackburn when you think about it

Oh well, no point crying over sold youth prospect I suppose

No mate not even you (no disrespect) would relegate this squad, fear for us can be interpreted how you want. I meant fear this would be as bad as last. Currently 2 points better off.

Not likely sorry mate. I may have more and more reserved feelings about him if we continue to get poor results, but I won't get wound up about him, because he's not going to be going anywhere for a while. Whilst we stay up, he will stay, that's the current board ambition.

He may well stand out at Blackburn, but you do realise they currently sit in 12th place in the Championship? Some would say that is his level.

Yeah its a pity we have a useless deadbeat board.

...time will tell if he's good enough to play for a top flight team. I still feel he'd be 4th choice at best for us.
