Looking at what we have in terms of players and who we are able to bring in doesn’t fill me with confidence that we will finish in the top half. I think Dyche is going to have to get a style of play that suits the players we have, probably making us more defensive and harder to beat. What is...

I know I've made the point twice already but it bears repeating: if that was football and an England player had made a giant bollocks of it and it led to defeat, the red tops and social media headline makers would be writing: "DIMWITTED GINGER PORKER LET'S DOWN THE NATION!!!", and his life would...

If you were a poor decision maker, had a guy who had averaged 18 goals a season, and you were facing potential relegation, do you think you might just hope he had hit a cold patch, or throw your season on the backup? Iheanacho did play by the way, so thats also not true. Through week 21 he...

He's actually pretty good at running the channels and bossing defenders. It's his decision making after holding the ball up that is often the problem, I think Doucoure is better at getting close to him and offering him an easy pass which cuts out the amount of decision making he has to make...

That is one of the most inspiring and yet depressing interviews I've seen. Fair play to Dele for opening up - you can physically see the weight coming off him when he is letting it all out. I thought Gary Neville handled that interview unbelievably well. From a football perspective, it is...

Who’s our play maker? McNeil?

It shouldn't happen in either situation Dave. You wouldn't be advocating for bullets in the post.

….much depends on whether we bring somebody else in but it’s a real reflection on Maupay. it’s a huge risk if the decision makers think DCL can play regularly.

Repeating myself here but we don't just need a forward we need some creativity from deeper another play maker whether that's a wide player or a creative midfielder who can weigh in with goals. We are currently getting no assists from our wingers or full backs, Iwobi is the only one creating.

Hope you get the leccy back on soon Fred. Take care mate

I hope everything gets back up and working for you Fred and that you suffered no damage…some of the news reports have been horrendous…..

Hoping Garner + Iwobi with more reign to go forward when a 6 is behind him in Gueye

I’ve often wondered why the FA decision makers would figure retired refs, who were a long way from being perfect when they were reffing matches, would suddenly become perfect running VAR. The problem is not the plays they review, it’s the plays that cry out for a review, but aren’t.

Abusing and body shaming a trusted and proven team mate to the point of ridicule may not be the greatest leadership tactic

I feel Holgate is another of our players who reflects what the club have become, he seems a nice enough person, he tries when he plays and on his day can be good but overall he just lacks the quality to play at Premier level. The problem with letting him go is do you trust our decision makers to...

Just think of all the free complaining tokens you get to spend!

Reports I’ve read said he would’ve joined but we couldn’t agree a deal with Villa. Doesn’t matter now, but he’d have been a difference maker.

To be fair, i don't blame them for doing what they are doing. They have found a loop hole or a gap in the laws that they are taking advantage of! I'd love for us to of been that clever in terms of Usmanov buying up a couple of Russian sides and buying Cenk Tosun off us for £50m. You have to...

This team needs to be demolished. Depends on where we end up at the end of the season. But back to front the whole squad needs an acid test for quality players who want to play for the club. All other passengers collecting a paycheck get binned off.

I agree that he had lethal high-scoring finishers all the years that we don't have. Our finishing is the worst in the league this season true. We did better when we pressed, but we play too anxiously in most of our games. They had a lot of success over the years, so there was no reason to...
