I hear what you're saying Mike, but is there not a chance that that comeback was an absolute hammer blow to their hopes and confidence of staying up?

No surprise that he had his best season with Richarlison playing off him. He'd have been a lot better playing in the 80's/90's with an out and out goalscorer or creative striker alongside him. Carlo basically set the team up to get the absolute...

I wasn’t comparing the Chris Wood at Nottingham Forest with Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White and Elanga supplying him - I’m comparing the one absolutely slogging it out at Burnley season in, season out, with a squad full of grocks yet still managing to...

Nah, this argument just doesn't wash for me afraid, I've easily seen more than 2 strikers who have outperformed him, or at least matched him, during that time period, they just didn't stick around as long. I'll stick my neck on the line and name...

Not to mention the fact that they were also mainly lame ducks, and that stretched to the manager(s) and DoF(s) which just served to exacerbate the problems. In fact, truth be told, even to this day there's suspicions that not only most of...

That, plus Dan's a proper businessman who will know how important it is to appoint the right people into the right positions. Mosh didn't do that... Most of his board appointments were complete and utter sh.tshows, from start to finish, to be...

My money is on Sunderland.

Ah well. Good luck at Sheff Utd.

Fair enough. I just find pointing to the players behind him as one of the reasons he doesn't score many as a false narrative. We've seen players in worse teams score more. Don't get me wrong, I've said for years there's not enough goals and...

Like he'd manage to slot the bread into the toaster.

Well, you say all that. Thing is though, he gets chances and invariably misses. He's had enough chances over the last few years to at least weigh in with a not very spectacular return of 10 goals in a season. It's not good enough. We've seen...

I'd prefer them to keep their distance tbh. It's not like they've appointed themselves chairman/ceo/kit man. United are currently doing their best to let too many cooks (and mice) spoil the broth. We've been there in the recent past too. Just...

I’m all for a Super League but only without promotion & relegation. Let the ‘big6’ go and let’s get back to a proper football league.

None of those things suit the mega clubs that run the sport so will not happen.

The thing I appreciate the most about Beto is he doesn't let his head down. If he can develop a bit more in certain areas and keep working on his balance, there will be a player in there to go with the goals. You have to have a steel mentality as...
