    Brighton H 1 point
    Wolves A 3 points
    Arsenal A 0 points
    Fulham H 1 Point
    Palace H 3 points

    I’d take that from our next 5 we’d then be on 29 points with 8 games left to go.

    You’d Hope Rodrigo would be back, the Palace game is 8th April just over a month away, new coach would hopefully have us playing better.

    It’s not great but there is hope

    Forest H as opposed to Fulham H. You can add an extra 2 pts on :emoticon-0148-yes:

    I’d agree with those except the Wolves bit. Didn’t Rodrigo say he’s back towards end of March

    It’s okay I’d put Fulham it should be Forest. I think we’ve got to aim for 7-8 points from the next 5 games. I know we’ve not done that all season but I think it’s achievable

    Mentioned it at the time but loaning out Joffy just struck me as arrogance by our owners and Victor Orta, especially as they knew Rodrigo needed surgery when the loan was agreed.

    No Bamford, no Rodrigo and a new striker who can't play 90 mins yet.

    Joffy may not be the finished article, but as shown by his goals and game changing actions he's way ahead of Mateo Joseph who's now had to be utilized as a first team player out of sheer necessity.

    Bamford is finished....him and forshaw are like conjoined twins wedded to the treatment table, the hierarchy are also as good at wasting funds as our government....a shambles in a word and unless something changes very quickly we are heading back to the wilderness

    Joffy is really struggling at Sunderland. He's not looked good thus far at all. He was subbed at half time today.

    So what.

    Scored goals, won penalties and provided assists for us in the PL and that's all that matters.

    What’s your thoughts Jammy as to what level he’ll finally settle into. Personally I think he’s championship standard and won’t have a pl career. I could be miles out, you’ve seen a hell of a lot more of him live than I have

    I’m sure the coach knows more than me but when they keep insisting Rutter is better in a two up front play Gnonto and Rutter together.

    How Harrison kept Gnonto on bench for an hour or whatever is a bit of a mystery to me

    He was a proper super sub for sure

    Gnonto doesn't seem to want to cross the ball. Harrison seems to want to put the ball in the crowd.

    I love Gnonto, he is a decent player who could quite easily become one of the best we’ve seen in a long time but…. I’ve got to say I’ve become increasingly frustrated how he tries to run through everyone 90% of the time.

    I have to agree with Emu, he needs to pass it more often, quicker 1-2s he desperately needs coaching. When I first saw he was dropped I thought WTF then, on reflection, I thought I can see whey.

    Shame we can’t get Bielsa back purely as a one to one coach and give him Sinistera, Gnonto and Rutter to work on
