It's in the echo and its extended on there. Nothing to do with Alex crook. He's obviously said what he's said and he's dead right. Either the board need to spend more on transfers and wages otherwise we aren't going to progress. It's not like the academy is flourishing is it? Katerina has done very well the club but now to move on I feel we are going to need extra investment as in the premier league if you stand still you actually drop. We haven't just stood still we have got quite a bit worse by selling our best 3 players last summer obv Toby was on loan but we lost him. No club has lost 9 first team players as we have in the last two years.

Spot on.

Madness if we don't strengthen and again shows the lack of ambition at club.

We need soares to be the cover.

The board have stated Europe is our aim so we are behind schedule.

As usual you have to resort to insults.

Couldn't disagree more and awful choice of language.

Also vvd has to react quicker after the ball hits the bar.

I don't have it in for Davis. He's a workhorse and does well with ability he has. But he does play as an attacking mid most of time so should be making and scoring a lot more imo.

It's games like this that make you realise if we want to push on as a club Steven Davis just isn't quite there in terms of ability. Massive missed chance and then if he had played decent ball to long when one on one we'd have won.

I'm sorry but Steven Davis cost us that hand with some awful play.

He still played really well the other night tho.

Koeman said several weeks he's had problems with knee so they have been using injections and he hadn't been able to train.

bit harsh as Pelle been injured for a while and before that period he was awesome.

I agree it's arrogant.

Yes just seen that in echo I stand corrected. Before people jump on pelles back must remember he's been injured for a while now. Before that he was brilliant, 9 in 21 games isn't bad at all.

Nowhere does Koeman say he's out for a few weeks. He said he's been struggling with injury for a few weeks.

Looking at clasie career he hasn't struggled with injuries. Cramp isn't definitely poor conditioning tho. Also, if you have had cramp no reason you can't recover in a couple of days.

Oh come on. Vic has been brilliant for 2 years and been much better than the others. A team of Davis and longs wouldn't get you too far.

Long was brilliant but he's never scored more than 7 even in the championship so don't get carried away. Pelle has had an injury since start of November so don't overdo it.

Great game from him tonight. Still need a striker tho imo.

Was absolutely superb.

Looked much better than ward prowse.

You know that?
