Surprised the midfield is getting as much praise. I posted this in the 'Are we really going down' thread: 'We're more than half way thru the season, and was looking back at some stats. A few things jumped out: - We've played 26 games, and in 18 of them, we've scored either 0 or 1 goal. - In the 26 ...

Btw, not sure about Yiadom at wing-back. Currently, he can't really pick out a pass with much consistency. And even when he he gets in good positions and crosses the ball with his right peg, he has the innate ability to usually find an opponent with the unwavering accuracy of a heat seeking missile....

Some posters are being a bit too kind (understandably as he is one of our own and young) towards Loader.Based solely on his performances so far I think he has been fortunate to get so much game time ( I bet McNulty would love to have had as much) but clearly he is being played for his potential rat...

Tbh, with everyone’s agendas on here took far more notice of the SS ratings. Harriott star man and Swift a 7 Thing I find frustrating is that if we play safe little balls back and forward in defence everyone moans, but then he gets crucified for giving the ball away when trying to take a ‘risk’. Ag...

Must have been a long time since we've had three naturally left footed players on the pitch at the same time. Aluko, Richards and Harriott. We looked far better balanced today as a unit. Wonder if this was a contributing factor. Yep, balance is huge in footy. (Hate it when we play a right-footed pl...

Nameless Some people are really disappointed that we weren’t stuffed out of sight

Prolly the same one's who were proven wrong when they predicted we'd lose at least 8-0
Didn't hear too much about a 'make shift' Utd team then, or that Utd would 'let us play' and make it easy for us.

I can scarcely believe what I've been reading in here. Who would ever have thought in our illustrious history that one day, we would play Manchester United, at Old Trafford, and give them a good game...and yet some fans can barely say one single positive thing about it, and instead spend their time ...

Appreciate transfer values these days are almost meaningless, but just noted that the Manure starting XI was the highest we have ever faced : http://i63.tinypic.com/1elyyt.jpg beating the £218,600,000 of the Man City starting XI in the PL match at the Mad Stad 15/05/2013. We lost both games 0-2 BTW...

What about taking Zohore on loan from Cardiff? He can’t get in the Cardiff team at the moment but has a good scoring record in the Championship. I'd be ok with that. With each passing game, its becoming clearer we need more help to avoid relegation...however much promise younger players are showing.

So, anyone win big on their bets? Who backed us to not lose by more than 2 goals?

We get it. You don’t want to see any signs of improvement under Gomes. I'd love to. I just haven't seen any that'll make a difference. Unlike half of the rest of you, I'm not so desperate to see improvement I'll make it up out of nothing. No - you want to see Gomes fail because Parky didn't get the...

I'd imagine that Forster would still be a cracking signing for a Championship club. I just did a quick Google to see what the situation is with him and it looks like he's completely frozen out but wasn't interested in a few offers that came in the summer. He's apparently on £95k a week though, so w...

Bring in the following: Hayden from Newcastle - Would add some Championship experience to our midfield and will get better with age Buckley from Bolton - Can play on either wing and it wasn't long ago he was one of the first names on the teamsheet for Brighton. May not be a starter but would give u...

Hendo

nevo1970 Jermaine Defo until end of season.
Knows where the goal is.

Gone to Rangers.

Yep, Defoe leaves on an 18-month loan deal.

Also,...'Gary Madine is undergoing a medical at Sheffield United ahead of a loan move from Cardiff'.
Figured he'd be available. Oh well...

Maneki Neko yep. would like this to happen, and would show gomes already has some understanding of the issues we have with the defence

'Only' 6'1. I like 'em a bit taller than that, tbh.

I'm sure it's just a throwaway figure of speech but why do you hate to say it? This would be a good thing 'Whisper it quietly' would be more appropriate imo. Ok fair play it just seemed a bit doom and gloom was afraid I was going to get eaten alive if I did say it. Lol, say something positive about...

Vic, Stockley has gone to Preston, undisclosed. Sounds like Hause is going to Villa... We could have matched Preston as all our transfers are undisclosed. :| He is the son of a mate of a mate - we could have picked him up at the end of last season for not very much and went for Mc Nulty instead. Th...

Apols if this has already been addressed/answered, but...If we went down, how long could our academy survive as is, before being downgraded? In other words, how soon would we need to get promoted in order for there to be little or no affect on the academy? I'm asking about time frames, because quite...

Here's a few names of some PL players who may be available, are out of contract, possible loanees, etc. Their viability/desirability for us is obviously questionable: Keepers Artur Boruc,Bornmuff Rob Green, Chelsea Michel Vorm, Spurs Julian Speroni, Palace Heurelho Gomes, Watford Everton Leighton Ba...
