Decent all round, without looking too menacing. Defending has improved massively, and confidence is back.
Credit to jose, in a short space of time we've turned a corner. 2 months ago villa would've won that easily.

Pleased to see the overpaid failures being shipped out. Regardless of whether we're Champ or League 1 next season, I'm excited that we'll have a fresh new squad, hopefully full of academy players , Novakovich and hopefully some of the loanees we currently have on the books. Our recruitment has been ...

Gomes seems to have targetted the spine of the team and brought in 5 players who, on paper, are better suited to what he wants to do. I'm impressed that in 1 month, he's been able to assess the squad, make changes, bring in what appear to be targetted signings and instill a bit of positivity. It's ...

This would be a pointless signing IMO. Bearing in mind we only have 18 games left and we play one up front and we have Bod and Meite (if he recovers) who have both done ok when fit I think it would send the wrong message to our contracted players. It would effectively say that the new manager felt ...

Was then and still remains, the only game I've ever left before the final whistle. Total dogshit.

Come on now. I know you've said some real BS in your time but this one takes the cake.

How many times did you see Jimmy play OMA?

I didn't miss many home games at all in his time at the club, saw plenty away too.

Oh right. had you down as a spotty teenager.

Kitson > everyone else.

The generation above me will no doubt mention Quinn. Unfortunately I never saw him play

Quinn was good. Kitson was better.

:roll: And so the whining starts... Get rid of a few over the hill, cant be arsed midfielders and replace with young & hungary versions, with something to prove , and people are still not happy... Steve Coppell always talked about the right ' DNA' in building a squad and bringing players in..the...

to play the system Jose wants, he needs a keeper who is good with the ball at his feet I suspect Anssi isnt a bad keeper in the traditional sense, but he is awful distribution and passing wise. I can't see him lasting long Dont dislike Ansi - but he cant kick, and doesnt command the box / flaps a l...

According to FLW

"To start building up from our goalkeeper, pass the ball to each other and controlling the game with the ball to make the opponent move and try to recover the ball. In this way creating space and gaps for the fast players and strikers to use. But basically creating with the ball, controlling t...

El Diablo We were going down before the change, so what on earth have the Chinese got to lose?

Complete loss of face if this goes belly up.

You think they dont already know that?!!

JG is bringing 4 backroom staff with him. So guess that means curtains for Gibbs, Beasant, Gilkes etc. unless they’re planning on over staffing in that area as well. I think this is the major worry, the core of the club is being eroded. Such a strong core who have managed to steer us to the heights...

IN for the Portuguese gamble! Just watched highlights of Rio's recent games on you tube and they play an easy on the eye style, and have some good (I know, highlights) players, who no doubt we'll try to buy.. Like the appointment or not, we the supporters have to get behind the Manager & the pla...

CountryRoyal And you’re basing this on what exactly? I’m hoping something more substantial than your imagination.

The point being that £800k would probably be very attractive to most Mangers in this league.

You say that, but they weren’t exactly queuing up to manage us in the prem. Clarke seemed to get the job instantly, and Stam (who was a managerial no one) turned us down initially. Let’s face it, we’re not an overly attractive proposition for anyone. Really? I'm pretty sure that a six figure salary...

We seem to be struggling to attract decent candidates for the job. Unfortunately we haven’t been such an unattractive proposition for many years.

Taken from Newsnow article this evening.... Royals were interested in former Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic, but the Serbian's wage demands were too high and he was not interested in the position Again sounds like poor reporting...if he wasnt interested in the position anyway..what did the wages hav...

Honestly think the club just need to stump up for Jokanovic. Fulham were in a similar position to us when he took over and he got them promoted. I think it would raise attendances from the off, the football would be better, the atmosphere around the club would improve. It's a no brainer for me. Yup...
