Re: MATCHWATCH : Shrewsbury Town (h)

I think one of the things we have struggled with for years is decision making - and probably the reason why it always feels like we have a strong and talented squad yet continue to look like we are worse than we should be. Our decision making is terrible. 2 or 3 occasions today players took the toug...

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

If there's a sell-on clause, would that purely be for the next transfer?

As it seems pretty obvious he'll be at Olympiakos, then a dirt cheap transfer to Forest - so does that sell on fee actually really matter here?!

Re: MATCHWATCH : Hull City (h)

Ok so we’re saying our players are shite. So that gets Ince off the hook then and presumably means we’re Bowen out instead? Just checking. No secret that I like Ince, but I think we do have fairly decent players and am disappointed that we can’t play in a way that gets the best out of them. Our gam...

Re: Ince out!

Give him a transfer window people say. Why? Decent coaching would get something more out of this squad. None of them can pass accurately or with decent weight on the ball, but if by some fluke a pass does reach them, if any opponent is within 3 yards of them they will either get dispossessed after ...

Re: Out of Contract 2022

I'm really surprised at the ambivalence on here from some about losing Rino. He works hard, brings energy, bursts forward, has a willingness to tackle and to get the ball and move it on and has been sacrificed to play in many different positions. He may never be a 'star man', but he's always consist...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol City (h)

Yiadom has been poor since he came back from injury. Last season we were much tighter defensively with Tom Holmes in there. And going forward Yiadom brings very little. He cannot cross and just cuts inside and runs into defenders. Zero end product. He’s my new escape goat. What happened to Rino ton...

Re: Contract situation at end of 2020/21 season.

I really hope we can tie TMc down. He's right on the verge of being first choice. Morro can only last so long and Moore has to move on eventually. One of them will decline or leave soon. Same here. I've not found myself checking, hoping on or waiting for an announcement across socials for a very lo...

Really surprised that there's not more for Gary Rowett!
Would be happy with Hughton, though.

Re: Gomes, Should he stay or should he go? Mk2

This has been written about Gomes so far and what to do next.

I personally think he sould given time - but not enough time that we could be sunk into league one.

Re: CONFIMRED José Gomes

To be fair, Jokanovic’s record prior to Watford was pretty shocking. Hope it works out, and will be behind JMG, but I feel a bit skeptical. I just hope he knows so little about the players that he won’t pick them based on reputation, as the reputations of players like Gunter, Aluko and Mannone seems...

Re: New Manager

I would say that 3 teams now have sussed out Paul Clement fairly quickly. Words from player like Darren Bent didn't flatter him - the fact that under him one of our best players in Barrow has essentially turned to sh*t - I don't think we are exactly losing a lot. I do agree that most of the time, ma...

Re: Clement

It's going to be a really interesting few weeks at the club. I'm on the fence about Clement still - but I do think he's been given a tough job. It clearly lies with backroom staff and the likes of Gourlay and Tevreden - however if things keep going as they are and Clement stays, it's almost undoubte...

Re: Liam Moore to Brighton

Didn't he have to go to similar measures to force through a move to come to Reading? Can't blame him - He may've been playing the waiting game to see if a bids accepted and then after he's seen the type of players and who we've brought in and how we've strengthened (if we can say that) this summer h...

Re: CONFIMRED - Andy Yiadom

Losing is a bad habit to get into. Players get nervous, hide, and underperform on a losing streak. Bringing in a player who experienced relegation might not be the best way to break the cycle of underachievement. Not a bad signing in and of itself, but we also need some players added to the current...

Re: BFTG - Bolton

Was at the game. It wasn’t good, we were bad and so were Bolton, but we were worse and lucky to come away with a point. Just seen the highlights on sky sports - that first piece of play from Aluko - so lightweight, no effort, petulant, no passion. Absolutely terrible. A team with a player like that ...

Re: BFTG - Cardiff

I’m a Stam fan, but his second half tactics cost us that win. The players looks confused, disorganised and out of position. At times they were screaming at each other and didn’t know who they were marking, and we completely lost the wide threat when it looked like we moved barrow more centrally up t...

Squad Mentality

Before the beginning of last season I think it was fairly clear that the squad had a losing mentality. Although on paper we seemed to have a pretty good squad, we couldn't win and were pretty poor - the mentality of the players didn't look good. Last year though, we'd cleared out the loans and some ...

Re: BFTG (H) Brizzle

All too casual at times. As others have said, need to keep the tempo up throughout the game. Bristol were crap. I think thats most fans biggest frustration. But, I saw plenty to be optimistic about. Mannone did so well under the high Bristol press. AAH would have crumbled in that game with our back...
