I really don’t want RLB to go but if he does that makes a lot of sense. Frank would thrive in this set-up and his Brentford side scored a lot of goals which is what we have struggled with all season.

Club would be daft to get rid of RLB imo. Fits what the club want to do very well, to achieve what he has and then get rid I wouldn't understand that at all.

Ive said it before, if we sack RLB at the end of this season, every neutral fan in the country will want us to fail. And we would deserve to fail if we do. A couple of more wins up to now and we'd could have ended up finishing 6th. When was the last time we finished 6th or above?

Edit: 1954-55. Finished 4th

Superb performance, the difference with ELT in the middle and Talbi on the left is like night and day compared to Diarra and ELF. I'm certain we'd have had more points on the board if we'd done that more this season.

Mind, has there ever been a worse ref than Atwell? Might as well have had a man u shirt on.
 
We need a striker who has got a bit of dog about him. Someone like Luis Suarez - a bit nasty. I know most clubs want someone like that but we seem to be a bit naive/ too nice. It probably comes from being young lads.

Angulo did seem to leave a bit on Fernandes. It looked like he did move his forearm towards his face but he made the most of it and tried to con the ref to send him off.

In 60 odd years supporting this club ive seen many baffling decisions by our management teams, but to get rid of Reggie would top the lot imo.
If he goes I could see lots of our fans following...me included.
 
Enjoyed that and slightly disappointed we didn’t grab the win. Some excellent play and we looked like the side who are 3rd in the table at times. The place would have erupted if Sadiki tucked away the one on one. Great effort from Geertruida off the post.

Lammens did very well, fair play. I thought we were done for at the end when Man U had those chances. We defended superbly as their set pieces were a danger.

The lads outran Man U and we don’t normally outrun the opposition. We were a little more up for it?

Reckon it would upset a few of the players aswell!

If we had certain decisions going the right way in matches against, Everton (most blatant handball in the box), Liverpool (foul on Brobbey), Bournemouth (foul on le fee) there is 3 penalties that could have seen us 7 points better off and that silly red last week would have been another 2 imo!

Would see us in 5th above Liverpool as I honestly think we would have beat them at the sol if we took the first half lead! Then chuck in a few that we could have won in the last few minutes with better finishing (Liverpool at Anfield Wilson and Villa the other week) another 5 points. I know many teams can sit and do this and its the nature of football but jesus we havent been far off being right up there!
