Meite for Olise second half please more clout upfront required to work their centre backs.

My LAFC supporting mate says he's shit. Only in the team because he's Giuseppe Rossi's son. I heard the same tbf. And a lot of people heard that Veljko Paunovic was shit too! Absolutely We could fill the Mad Stad with Reading fans past and present who have slagged off managers and players they’ve n...

Semedo on the wing? Remind me, have we seen that yet? Not sure. But still prefer the idea to Aluko. Or Swift going wide. Would kind of agree to that. Probably more chance of Semedo being here next season than Aluko, given if we do go up we are obliged to buy him. Firmly in this camp, too. Samedo is...

Millsy To have a left back who actually blocks crosses, nullifies opposition right wingers and secures that side of the pitch would be a dream, I've almost forgotten what it feels like.

At least we’ve had it on the right since Gunter’s been out of the picture.

Money and fame and big teams talk. But not now and for as long as we remain in contention for promotion with the prospect of him starting next season as an establish member of a top flight team rather than sat on Dortmund’s bench. But that was what happened with Sidders. I always fear that happenin...

I highly doubt it. Crazy as it may sound but he would be a great fit for somebody like dortmund Oyeh because Dai has a record of letting our most promising players go. Plus would be fairly stupid from Olise to leave at this stage when next year he could well be playing guaranteed Prem football as i...

Ok, so WTF is going on. Serious WTAF is going on? Screw Stam's shit play chancing it to Wembley. Not fussed about McDermott's team who long balled it up to the PL and came crashing back down. I'd even say I don't remember Team 106 exciting me as much as this team. FSB's team same. These guys are ju...

Seen Joao's goal - absolute class. First touch, turn and strength = world class, defenders did nothing wrong. Goal of the Season contender... anyone can smack a ball in front 30 yards, few can do that Couldn't agree more. In my view, the biggest difference between the 1st and 2nd tiers is the quali...

Players just look a lot more confident this year. Could be Pauno could be Bowen going - or just a bit of momentum For my money you could put it down to one or more of four factors. Joao being fit Laurent giving the midfield balance and steel Olise adding end product to his game Paunovic being an im...

A few observations. The first XI is top 6 quality. We've been performing as less than the sum of the parts for a long time. Joao is the single most pivotal player we've had in recent memory. Not since before the glory days have we been so reliant on one player to get our game to work. Worth every p...

For those struggling to get in... I did last year going "to iFollow" Now I just go to Live Match Centre and click on watch live. Has worked first time every time and picture VERY sharp Can't remember accessing any other way and although sometimes slow entering no issues once in picture at...

In what way is the “structure” not built around football where is it’s non footballing element? Bowen was offered a position that would only have strengthened that structure but he declined.

I understand why some fans will not like it but Hobnob is like an echo chamber with a short circuit.

I wouldn't have sacked Bowen but his appointment has now been placed in it's true perspective and, whether or not you agree with the decision, I wouldn't call it shambolic, more an owner committed to taking the club where he wants it to be, having never shown the slightest sign of being unwilling to...

Couldn’t be more delighted that Ovi is finally ours! He’s not over rated he’s a special talent who needs to be played between the lines behind the striker where he’ll do the most damage. I still believe Swift will be snapped up once others accept we won’t be giving him away and that will help balanc...

He'll get a few games in a league one club, who else will sign him? He's taken a huge risk in the current climate and is being poorly advised, probably got the same agent as Loader While I find it very disappointing we let his contract run down, I agree. With no gate money since March and even less...

Unfortunately this is Hobnob. Back in the real world your case makes perfect sense. If Brentford’s strategy doesn’t amount to sound financial stability in the crazy world of football finance, God knows what that says about all those fretting over points deductions as the bulldozers arrive at Griffin...

With wages over 200% and up against a wall on FFP, there was only one way to do this and that was get rid then rebuild which is, more or less, where we find ourselves within a week of season’s end. This was desperately needed if we ever want to get back to the financial stability of those far off da...

And if you don't have or want facebook, can you see without an account? And some of us are firmly in this camp having paid a tenner for a ticket but can't make it and would happily pay again to watch on ifollow. It's beyond mental that all these matches that are clearly being televised are not avai...

Lads. We have already played 40 games this season. No way should we look to rest players for a cup competition. The league is our focus. Winning games in the league, finishing as high as possible and playing our key players together where possible to further build on their teamwork and understandin...

Simmops Good referee. The best a man can get.

Not sure everyone agrees though - a Leeds article on the ref:

I'd say West Brom are the best team and would agree Bamford is nothing special.
