First time in my lifetime we’ve won from 3 down. Can only remember one draw from 3 down, against liverpool In 2000

League 2 , but Neil Harris is far more clued up than the chump we’ve got managing us as part of a little experiment by these owners

We won’t even score 1. This team has zero backbone or fight

Did we just assume with Leicesters form and our recent narrow wins, that we could just turn up and cruise through and win at a canter? The entire club is so complacent that it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest that we’ve knowingly gone at this game with complete complacency and half arsed it. This club is “professional” in name only. So many aspects of it are the exact opposite of professional in the way it’s run. And this is why we will never be successful under this culture within this ownership. Complacency, arrogance, naivety, you name it- sets in at the earliest possible opportunity.

That’s probably the change that this prick will make at half time. Get an extra defender on I expect to sure things up. Absolute cunt

Time to start singing the sport republic songs , may as well let them know what the fans think of them again, if they don’t already know

So we basically only had one striker fit enough to start this game. Absolute genius from the club this, especially when said striker is as bad as archer

What a bunch of spineless cunts . Playing a team In total freefall and we’ve handed them the match on a plate within the first 12 mins. Brilliant

At the time he signed, he was fine for the premier league…

Artur Boruc had the odd howler in his Locker too, remember a couple of times him dwelling on the ball at his feet and being dispossessed and conceding, memorably at Arsenal to name one of them. However, as an overall goalkeeper he was comfortably our best keeper at that time and saved us more often than he made errors. This guy isn’t as good as Boruc, but for the level he’s playing at, I’d say he’s equally as capable and again, is our best keeper by a mile

He will be just as effective was my point, but totally agree, he’s built more like a boxer and should be more like a battering ram. Probably more pleasing on the eye in that regard than the awkwardness of TP

Good win to grind out, as there was very little in the game, though we did have the clearest chances. Great header by Larin, from looking at him, he will provide a similar outlet to what Tall Paul would’ve done at this level, which is more than enough to be effective. Should be a handful in the box for defenders. Defence starting to look solid with a back 4 and the best full backs at the club playing, along with a keeper who whilst having some shakey moments, is authoritative and clearly has the faith of his defenders. These are the type of wins we barely ever grind out, so let’s enjoy it

Have to admit I’m very much enjoying their decline since his, and his teams fans, reactions to full time at St Mary’s, utterly tinpot

He didn’t lift the dressing room at all last time he was bizarrely made captain. If Theo Walcott is to be believed, several players were on their phones at half time during that era . Interestingly, both West Ham and Forest fans think he’s a nothing player who passes sideways and contributes very little when he’s played.

He’s massively overrated by our fans. He’s a very average midfielder who isn’t brave enough or direct enough to succeed in the premier league. He was also a dreadful captain for us in 2022/23 and allowed us to surrender fairly meekly that season after 10 seasons of top flight football. Can’t understand the pining for him

Quantity , not quality, is the key here. Keep the opposition guessing

Truly is the greatest era in our history, seeing epic stats like that

So long as he gives his all, that’s all we can ask. If he puts himself about, holds the ball up, wins some headers, at least he will already have done way more than Downs ever did and will be supported

Sport. Republic.

There’s a video with Rasmus telling their fans that they’re the main and biggest club in the model.

I’ve suggested this over on the Sport Republic page but it’s being vehemently disputed by all of the usual suspects 🤣🤣

Yeah - my point is that wherever Rasmus’s priority lies, so does the entire groups. He dictates that, because Solak is entrusting him to. What is happening currently would certainly point to that. His current priority is Goztepe so the group are also focussing on that because he is heading the groups overall football operations. That’s how I see it anyway, If you believe otherwise that’s fair enough, we will see what happens.

I’d like to think not, but I’m struggling to believe that our owners could be this incompetent whilst having us as their priority. I think we were their priority, but we no longer are - coincidentally ever since they realised how much money is involved in stabilising as a Premier league club , something they’ve grossly underestimated with recruitment of both players and managers - and also ever since Rasmus was sent to focus primarily as Goztepe as their chairman. So yeah, I’ll crack on believing that goztepe are being prioritised before us, - (never said we “only exist to fund them” but nice try there) maybe you’ll realise that after a few more years in championship or even a drop to league one soon.

Indeed, and We were told at time that it was a real coup getting Downs over other supposed interest in him. Spors was patting himself on the back for signing him. How did that work out?

Let’s hope you’re right. However surely it’s an idiotic thing for Rasmus to say regardless . He didn’t need to say something that’s clearly an outright lie, to appease their fanbase did he? As I’ve said before, they’re a delusional bunch at goztepe if they’re expecting to be told that they’re the biggest club in the group. When they’re clearly not
