Saint Billy

I can’t believe wanting Champions League football is the sole reason seeing that he came to us from a club that offered that. More likely that his stock has risen again after having a good and mainly injury free season and can now look to boost his salary up once again.

Of course, but it all depends on the situation with my present employer. If my present employer took a big risk on employing me and was responsible for salvaging my career I would in return show my gratitude by demonstrating some loyalty.

Or the highest salary possible. This is the way of the world these days unfortunately. The problem is that if we find a suitable replacement who does well he will follow the same footsteps and on it goes. Rebuilding ha, we are having to constantly rebuild just like every other club outside the big 6.

Didn't see the game but with a depleted squad like that it was a hard task to get a result so no complaints.

Here in Mongolia a taxi driver just mentioned it twice.

Tanners Brook?

Not from what I've seen which granted is only a handful of games.

Does anyone rate Smallbone?

Is that the subs bench?

Yep, much better this morning.

I thought Bednarek was an unsung hero in the match last night, and others for that matter. He made a last gasp tackle which was a game saver. Gets on with his job quietly and effectively.

Ralph's reaction last night confirmed he is going no where. Too many great individual performances and moments to mention but special praise to KWP and Diallo, awesome both of them.

Everything down the left hand side and a stronger bench.

What I don't get is this, our defence square balls to one another sideways on numerous occasions, yes I get the not wanting to lose possession, so why does it invariably end up back with the keeper who boots it upfield and yes we lose possession. For me this is where Vest is being really missed as he discovered the art of the killer pass which none of our current defenders possess.

Even if you put on Forster instead of Long it would be an improvement.

This is like the good old days of a couple of years ago.

Have we got covid?

God this is a re run of the Fulham game.

I think Theo gives the appearance of someone trying too hard. He is covering a lot of ground and full of running but when the ball is at his feet he seems to either give the ball away or is brushed off the ball too easily. I think he just needs to slow his game down and rely more on his experience now rather than his speed.

Wow, some people really do not understand the word "OPINIONS".

Hideous game, poor refereeing but at least a draw. Any decent side would have turned us over though. Hard to believe that after months of not wanting Vest anywhere near the first team we are now reliant on him being in it, that also applies to Rom and Ings. The next few games will be tough without a full squad and bringing in Long to bridge the gap is a big mistake, I only hope Ralph realises it sooner than later.

Has Ralph suffered from brain fog today?

Walcott having a mare.

Good grief this is absolutely woeful.

Come on Ralph, make some changes man as this is torrid stuff.
