    Our away form is shocking and no amount of jamster gets you promoted unless that’s sorted out. Too many draws to dross and too many losses to lesser teams, these are facts. How do you improve? Well only 2 ways and that either upgrade some players like the ones who will never start or you change tactics and Farke is too stubborn and being outcoached

    I keep telling yous, Farke hasn't got a plan B and some of his substitutions reek of desperation

    Our bench is nowhere near as good as I thought it was. The club had me fooled early doors.

    2 variations of the same story.
    • PSG want Pascal Struijk
    • PSG have been in talks for Struijk but were priced out so have gone elsewhere for a Brazilian.
    so we now have 2 RBs healthy, wonder which one plays LB. Hope Byram plays left and Spence Right and play Archie in ahead of Kamara?

    Sorry bud, this comment kinda got lost so just seen it.

    We struggle when teams put on a low block. We are much more dangerous in transition.

    Leicester and Ipswich went for it and we countered fantastically well.

    I mentioned a couple of weeks ago about being tactically naive away from home. I'd like us to set traps and concede possession to try and counter attack. We just seem a bit "dumb" when playing away.

    Id cash in on Gnonto. one he isn't starting. ok if you don't play you can't showcase yourself but hes getting cameo's of 20 mins here and there in most games but I don't think he's done anything to say wow he needs to start next game good players make impressions. Fullbacks we've just never sorted out it's been a problem for numerous seasons but as a club we just don't see the problem. infact the club seem to think we have ample cover at times. reality is if Firpo is staying he has to play LB simple as and get Spence to R/B otherwise get shot of him pointless keeping a R/B at L/B when we have a L/B on the bench makes no sense at all. Spence is our R/B fullstop...... Byram had a great season but due to his injuries has to be our Versatile fallback fullback slotting in at both slots when needed. crazy to think his trade is actually R/B. but he'd be great cover for us in both positions remaining of the season.
    Ayling is finished. Also let's be honest with ourselves Dallas isn't coming back is he? even if he does he will be miles off the pace along with the massive question marks hanging over him. Hjede is not going to make it here and belongs further down the football ladder. Shaks is the same another versatile player but will never make a starter he never has here and never will. Are we to nice to certain players? I think we have to be more ruthless we seem to have to many fallback players rather than someone taking a position by the scruff of the neck.
    If Firpo stays he has to play L/B. Spence at R/B Byram as the backup
    If Farke see's Spence before Firpo at L/B and we keep Firpo wtf is that all about? makes no sense it also just has a knock on effect and pulls players out of position.
    No offence but Spence should be nowhere near LB because we shouldn't even be in that position. Young Archie should be nowhere near R/B but we don't have a problem right the club say we have ample cover.

    Been saying it all season but many disagree. Bamford, Ayling, Cooper, Dalls not good enough to start so not good enough to keep and should be allowed to leave and get a gig elsewhere. Bamford we can make a few quid on but the others are out of contract and not adding anything. Get them off the wages. Not sure why they are filling the bench. I agree on Gnonto and I also think Meslier should do one too. Firpo never got started so get rid of him too and bring in players who are good enough to start and or force their way in

    you dont get promoted with 11 players and if the bench is full of players the manager doesn’t fancy or old age pensioners then we are goosed. Now or never, January last chance saloon for this lot and Iinclude FARKE in this

    Agreed but not a chance in hell of anyone paying anything for Bamford
    He’s worthless especially give the wage you’d have to pay him

    Leeds would have to pay him off in full. All he has to do is keep turning up at Thorpe arch.

    The Struijk/PSG link is now top news all over but the consensus is that the 49ers gave them a price and they refused to pay it

    What's your opinion Doc and if there's any truth in these reports then how much do you think Struijk is worth ?

    On the Struijk interest...

    Sell sell sell. See if they'll take Meslier back to France too.

    While we are at it, ring Betis and tell them that Firpo is available on the cheap. If they show no interest then tell them we won't answer the phone in future about any type of discussion about Roca.

    I can’t imagine a club with such wealthy owners as PSG would baulk at £17 million if they really wanted him.
