  1. Another clear out of players like we had in the summer will set us back to square one again. You can't buy team cohesion, it needs time and a settled side for it to work. If we can get two or three key players and integrate them into the side we will be able to push on in the second half of the season.
  2. Probably the right result all things considered. Our forwards don't play as a unit. It almost feels like McCormack is playing for a different side at times.
  3. The difference between a forward and a defender?
  4. Hutton's been alright to be fair. I'm not a fan of his work either but he's been the the better of our two fullbacks this match.
  5. We probably had enough in quantity just not quality
  6. I am not convinced that this £25m offer actually occurred but if it did it could only be from a club in China. It's too big a risk for a Premier League club.
  7. He bought two central midfielders to replace the two we sold but for whatever reason one of them has not worked out. I think last summer highlights the difficulty in try to buy a whole new side. It is bound to end up unbalanced or with a number of duds. Evolution is much more sustainable than revolution.
  8. Yes fair point. I guess the scouting networks are a lot more developed in Europe now.
  9. He's a good player, just joined us at the wrong time unfortunately. We were totally rudderless and disorganised and in no state to bed in a new player from the French leagues.
  10. Ferguson used to spend huge money as well. The fee for Rio Ferdinand alone would still be considered big money today, £30m for a young defender nearly 15 years ago.
  11. You guys haven't actually left the EU yet. Just talk of it has devalued the £. The whole Armageddon scenario was based around the premise that Cameron would enact Artical 50 the day after the vote. As it happened he just threw his arms up in the air and said 'this is all too difficult' and nothing has happened since.
  12. My guess is that he wants to get him match fit for when our entire forward line leaves for Africa.
  13. Having a tactic to 'get a goal' is a lot easier said than done.
  14. Our home form is sound but our away form is still not promotion quality.
  15. I believe there are 7 electoral collage voters who have come out as 'faithless electors' so far, though oddly enogh the first 6 were in democrate states saying they would vote for a different republican as a protest vote when they were supposed to be voting for Hillary. Such a bizarre system yet many Americans genuinely seem to think the rest of the world sees their system as some sort of a shining beacon for other countries.
  16. I wasn't expecting us to go undefeated for the whole season under Bruce and losing away to a promotion rival after a 7 game run is probably par for the course for a promotion push. We are still on track for our goals in my opinion.
  17. I think Baker would have been marking the striker, Elphick had lost his man in both goals.
  18. A frustrating game away to a promotion rival. I think Baker instead of Elphick and we would have kept a clean sheet. Oh well, the unbeaten run had to come to an end eventually, it is annoying that it is always the TV game though.
  19. Leeds will be in the mix for promotion at the end of the season.
  20. He was not standing on his line, he was on the six yard line. He only took a step and a half forward to get to the header, he wasn't going to run backwards away from it. I think the defender should have been marking goal side.
  21. Gestede has cleared a couple of their set pieces. His main value has been the extra height at the back rather than being a threat up front.
