    Fair enough. Good shout re pen. That’s been happening all season to us.

    When you get your top players back you will be absolutely fine.

    But you need to get back to that initial
    Mentality when you hammered teams for possession.

    We've just had one of those seasons where injuries, poor finishing, nearly every decision goes against us and just pure bad luck has followed us around every game. Too many players out of form. To be fair the ref gave us everything today though for the first time.

    I like to think on our very rare days when it clicks that we will have enough to get more points but today certainly dragged us back in a little. As you know, fighting down there is all about handling the pressure and our boys will be feeling it again next game I would think.

    It's nothing personal with me not wishing you luck. Just I'd rather you go down than us. <laugh>

    FWIW if you guys go on and spend a billion quid and push Man Utd out of Europe and closer to bankruptcy then all the better.

    Fir those kicking off about Joffy, grow up. He sat on his arse for 80 minutes watching an inept James and Roberts look stupid. He is a striker and should have started rather than watch that shyt from James. i would bet any money Joffy would have scored at least one of those James chances he also wouldn't have fallen over and gave the ball away away like Roberts did time after time. Massive mistake from Bielsa when you have a real striker play him dont start with a on striker and the replace bim with an even worse non striker

    ****ing angry

    the games he’s started (admittedly only one or two) he’s done nothing.

    Too much expectation on him from the fans. He’s a good prospect but that’s it. Too head down, needs to work on his all round game to cut it the top level. Just my view… and not a criticism, just an observation of where he’s at at this level.

    … as you can see, my view differs from Doc’s <laugh>
    <laugh>

    I get his frustration. James and Roberts were both poor today.

    You could guess exactly what Gelhardts views would have been after watching that shyte. So if you know his views you know what reaction he will give on the pitch if only has a few minutes to make the difference…… so why the hell not start him and if he looks sloppy or greedy hook him and put the Welsh useless idiot on, because heres a few facts. Gelhardt has scored a goal and got 3 assists in only a few minutes whilst Roberts has scored 2 goals in over one hundred games….. see the difference

    Said pre game, pulling Dallas out of midfield weakens us, and with Hjelde's performance last week there was no need for it.
    Rodrigo as never and will never suit our style of play

    Plus dallas usually gets some shots on target. James is terrible at taking chances.

    Fed up hearing about potential prospect we need it now not tomorrow
    Have you heard tomorrow never comes
    We should have won this game we didn’t because of one man senior Bielsa
    Joffy on with 10 mins to go you must be joking
    Roberts on you are just taking the piss

    both Roberts and gelhardt were obviously rushed back from injury so who knows what nick they were in. Very few of Roberts games have been as striker. I’m not getting into that bollox again.

    my point is the same as Emu’s. I’m not criticising gelhardt, at all. I like him… I’m just pointing out we don’t have goalscorers in the squad… leaving everyone to heap expectation on a teenager, whose all round game doesn’t quite look PL ready to me. Fine for you to think different. <ok>

    it’s my fault I made the mistake of commenting on Rodrigo looking good in the first half. He did for 20 minutes.

    There's ability there but he just doesn't fit in.
    Imo anyway

    Dear Mr Bielsa,

    By now you should have realised that whatever the question is, the answer is definitely NOT Roberts.

    Yours faithfully

    Not Happy

    Bielsa needs to go. He's a dinosaur.

    He's responsible for the injury crisis, and has no idea what a balanced team looks like.
