That doesn't happen very often for most teams.

Disagree mate. Yeah it's the hard fought 1 nil and 2-1 wins that ultimately bring you success but the good teams stroll to 3 nil wins quite regularly

tried for tete, got kyboshed last second. was the first signing he tried.

....and then was never linked with another one and decided playing a 6'7" CB there was best.

Neither team deserved to win. Neither team deserved to lose. Some really good play from both sides and some desperate stuff from both sides.
It was ever thus.

Straight up, liked the crowd today. Was fun to listen to especially the last 15. At least you aren't a crap club like Chelsea.

completely devastated, had more than enough chances to do them

the team has heart, but keane and tarkowski are bottom 5 level CBs

Our recent games have been like basketball games. We score and then let the opposition run down the other end and do the same. We’ve conceded 2 or more goals in the last 5 games. The quality of our back line is just not good enough.

The drop off when Braithwaite doesn’t play is massive.

This is exactly why we have to sign another CB this summer that can run and pass. We cannot continue to rely on Branthwaite. His body is likely to continue to let him down.

Keane and Tarkowski are relics of the moshiri era of battling relegation every season. We can’t hope to qualify for Europe with them starting every week. Ideally we need branthwaite, O’Brien plus two new CBs.

Guess it depends on the budget they make available.

He is right, the last half hour especially

That’s on our managers abysmal use of his squad and subs all season long, including today.

I wouldn’t give him a quid to spend.

So, you concede he tried twice then?

“Tried” is doing some heavy lifting there brother.

you're right, he set out to waste his own time and not land a rb

:/

We’ve been linked with Esteve from Burnley. Don’t know much about him I’d imagine honest.
