He's just one of dozens, on there, calling out Le Bris for 'stupidity', Speakman/Ghisolfi/etc for the inadequate players and the club for failing to sign more quality.

I didn't expect the euphoria of Wembley to last the whole season but I'd hoped we'd get past the first week to be totally honest.

It looks as though this internet thingy isn't the place for me after all ...

... I'll stick to travelling, drinking and meeting up with fellow rose-tinted dopes who don't expect a L1 club to suddenly be transformed into a top half PL side.

I'll leave it to the experts to explain where the manager went wrong and what he should've done, it all sounds so simple.

They were decent, nothing special but solid. Really impressed with Cullen in the middle of the park, he was very good as highlighted on MOTD.

Didnt watch MOTD, I thought I would be more interested in PL football, but have tried to watch 2 live games and I have no interest at all unless we are involved

I’ve watched 2 live games today and enjoyed them both. Fully invested now we’re in the division. Desperate for us to stay up and consolidate back in the PL

Cullen was good on Saturday like, it's about whether he can maintain it over the season

Burnley weren't that impressive on Saturday, they were solid though - be interesting how they get on against a United team that really needs to win

They’ve went and won a vital home game. Just like we did last week. Just as Everton did today and Brentford did yesterday. Those are the big ones mate - we’ll see that again next weekend. Huge game

Same here.

It's just overkill, too slickly presented and analysed.

Too many matches and too many people jabbering about the games until they squeeze the last few drops out of them.

He was limited let's say. But Parkinson was far worse, in an easier league, and seriously arrogant with it, ( not surprising he is already struggling in the Championship, even with a whopping budget) . I think Grayson will do well at Pools and really hope he does. I'll try and get down and watch a game or two if I can.

Agree.

Enzo for Diarra was the play.

Also Mayenda out right for Adingra with Guiu central.

That would have actually changed shape and given more balance; we were crying out for that.

Mayenda runs brilliantly with the ball, and also picks through balls.

We have the options there.

We certainly do, but the manager is a one plan man, it has its benefits, but far too much is made of his tactical ability imo.
