Juric really likes Jack Stephens.........

Totally agree, although I would adjust this slightly by saying that Ramsdale and Fernandes have been "success-ish". Whilst they have been better than the rest, neither of them have set the World alight. The one bright spark in the gloom has been Dibling....and he has only really played a bit-part. Just shows HOW bad the recruitment has been this season.

How about doing it this season and ending it on negative points? That would be a record that we would hold forever!

I wasn't mentioned, but I thought it was mentioned when IJ was employed, that part of the contract was a "review" of the contract at the end of the season i.e. an 18 month contract with a 6 month review.

I have said it before and I will say it again.....I would have a properly supported (by the board) Ralf back in a heartbeat. He was a beaten man at the end because he didn't get the proper tools that he needed to do the job.

Unlucky.....

Dragan on Talksport ar 12.00 today apparently....

Even Pep would struggle to get anything out of that squad....

I don't have a problem with this. Horses for courses. He is a very good Championship player. To keep calling him a shit footballer is obviously ridiculous.

24 goals and 13 assists in 52 games is "truly shit?"

This answer doesn't make sense. AA isn't a Prem player but there are very few better Championship strikers. This season is a write-off. You want to get rid of him now and then buy a new striker for next season?

So you wouldn't want him in the Championship next season?

Adam Armstrong truly is an appalling Premier League player. Are you saying that you wouldn't want him in the Championship next season?

I'm confident!! 2-1 Saints on my "Super Six!!" Can feel the money rolling in already!!🤪😜

The Adrian Heath goal probably top, but goals for Everton and Villa, both at home during the 04/05 relegation season still rankle!

Yes.....a number of the "mass" of signings (quantity over quality) that we made over the Summer seem to fit into this category and never really given a chance in the team. And those that were, were mis-used, and/or played out of position. I do get the feeling that RM didn't have a massive amount of input into the transfer dealing before the season started or he just didn't know what he was doing......

Charlie Taylor is a bit of a mystery. He is a pretty experienced Prem player having played over 160 games in the division......more than a lot of others in the squad. Wasn't expecting him to be a spectacular signing.....more of a roadsweeper than a violinist.....but he was never given a chance to establish himself.

From RB Liepzig??

....or just moving away from his family?

Somebody told me the other day (no idea if true) that Tyler is Autistic and he isn't happy being away from his normal surroundings....hence the short stay at Chelsea.

Yep......he has had his chance. Get rid of him......next Manager please. I assume that there is a queue of good managers waiting out there.

He scored 24 goals and had 13 assists.....more than anyone else in the Championship last season. He was voted Fans and Players "Player of the Season", but you don't think he was anything special?🤒

Fans favourite Potter not having an immediate effect....WH described on TV as "dire".....

It will be interesting to see how we perform against Newcastle next week, compared with Bournemouth today.....
