Thought he had a good game from where I was sitting. The one he dropped was obviously a rick but the save from Cousins’ long range shot second half looked a good one. Entertaining game overall. Thought we edged it but a draw would have been fair too.
If I think back to Bates, Cellino and GFH I would totally agree with you but for the first time we have a proper set up, an excellent coach and are sitting top of the league. Derby are one of the chasing pack, it is a 6 pointer, I just don't understand why teams wait till the end of January. Saiz left on the 17th well we would have known he was going at least two weeks prior to that, maybe benefit of the doubt one week, I just find it really hard to grasp why we don't get players in straight away, surely it is as simple as it sounds; you identify a replacement, you check what it would cost, affordable means run it past Bielsa, non affordable or player is asking too much don't piss around, move on to the next target. January arrives and you make it happen during the first week. Orta and company should have learned from Hernandez and Vydra, they persisted to make low ball offers and we ended up with plan B Bamford, I'm not saying Bamford is poor but he was weeks behind the rest, never got started and got injured instead. If we had a fully fit squad it might be different but with so many injuries, with Saiz leaving and Blackman returning injured we need to act fast.
I suspect we are shopping in the cheaper end of the market if we’re shopping at all. More likely loanees and it won’t be obvious till end of January in most cases who’s available. Regardless of how well we’re doing, rads is probably still in credit with his transfer dealings. It’s bullshit really as we could sign two or three quality lads and only have to pay 25% of fee upfront. If we win promotion we can we’ll afford the balance of payments. If we fail to get promotion sell them on or get the yanks to cover it
Quite a few fans are saying Roberts played well at #10 I wonder if Pablo will revert to wide right and we'll see Roberts at 10 and Alioski at LB against Derby Clarke wide left or the Harriosn/Clarke 45 minutes each?
Cheers fella. Just seen brief highlights, it was a cracking save. Outrageous coming on here with objective views. Sounds like you edged a good game... hell of a turnaround from the start of the season for your boys. Good luck for the rest of the season... our trip to west London excepted .
Well you didn't seem very happy about it. I like the lad,but who ever we play I tend to look at our player against his opposing player,and although I think he will get better,I've thought the opposing team have had better more often than not,average at best atm and think we probably need better.
It’s s nice cliche, but you kind of have to score to win matches. Bielsa isn’t George graham... he sets his sides up to try and score more than the opposition... and hopes to mitigate opposition chances by dominating possession. Do people really want garry monk back as manager because we’ve lost a few games, two of which, we were the better team in?
which 2,weren't the better team today or Forest,although I think we would have been without Philips fooking us up.
I ride roughshod over the playing fields of the school of hard knocks, trampling on the sensitivities of all who cross my path.
