glory.win or die.

Isn't it Z Cars?

We won the league in empty grounds. Seems playing in front of people is what puts our players off

Webber has had success. 2 championships in 3 seasons isn't easy and he built both squads. He has also failed in Recruitment in the prem and there's an argument that we are now no better than when he joined' although we do have more saleable assets But it's worth remembering Webber got rid of players and Farke who also won 2 championships with no loyalty so as soon as they hit a bad run of form. He shouldn't be immune to that ruthlessness

Always felt he was a bit of a fraud. The self sufficient thing relies on buying young, coaching, selling on for profit. Promotion is a welcome bonus but we need to be able to survive without promotion which is why the fact only Buendia, was bought by Webber and sold for good profit is a huge failure.

We have had alot of injuries. We also have one of the biggest squads to cope with it. Our back up players Hernandez,macullum,sinani,hugill,gibso etc have good champs experience, Our biggest issue is that Sara and Nunez were clearly purchased as starters, but they are more suited to Farkeball than Smith. Smith needs hard running,fast, experienced players. Nunez and Sara have, what 20 games between them in England? Burnleys 2 Central midfielders have 600-700 between them

To be fair Pukki has 6 this season which isn't bad and only 2 behind Sargent. One thing I'm certain of is that both have to play. And both need to be central.

In fairness most of the players Webber has sold for big money were here during Mcnallys time. I'd argue Mcnally was better than Webber

In fairness Savage was more bark than bite. Not sure he ever got sent off. I'm not sure we have had that type of midfielder in my time. Possibly Darel Russell We definitely need a Roy Keane on the pitch. Someone not afraid to rip into his team mates for taking **** corners or not tracking back.

I thought that Completely forgot he's at Brighton now ( does he Play?)

Carlton Palmer although after being introduced to international football by the 1986 panini World Cup sticker album ( still the best one ever imo) my first real memory is Kenny sansom mis kicking a clearance leading to Ray Houghton scoring in 1988 euros so Kenny samson ( pre Park bench)

Carlton Palmer

It's unlikely but Neil Adams had 20pts after 10 games too

I'm not sure we know what our style is.i certainly don't. It's obviously not Farkeball yet we still play out from the back constantly without getting anywhere. Krul rarely looks for a quick throw or pass out and slows play down. Aarons usually has to pass back or delays too long when he gets the ball (probably due to lack of movement ahead of him)before being blocked by an opposition player We still have no CDM to replace Tettey which is criminal, choosing to rely on an injury risk and an untried youngster A gaping hole in central midfield fir a Bradley Johnson or Stieperman type Little threat out wide, so much so that Hernandez is still our goto man for pace and threat. And the whole team are so slow, I can't remember the last time i saw someone sprinting off the ball into space begging for a pass, it's all just jogging and dropping deep like cantwell

We are far too slow and ponderous. People point to being a possession based team,playing from the back, inviting the press to play around them and in the space left, but that was Farkes style not this. Now we still have lots of possession ( I think it was 68% at half time with more shots more corners which shows stats can be misleading) but only because we don't know what to do with the ball. The first touch is often poor, decision making is poor, Aarons must have lingered on the ball 3 or 4 times in the first half letting WBA block his intended pass or clearance. We just need to increase intensity,pace,energy from minute 1. Something is wrong when Hernandez is our regular go to when we need pace and attacking intent,

Didn't Smith bring in a player council type thing when he joined Us? I'm sure I read it was something he introduced at Villa first

Think he will be fine. It is hard to adjust to a new country and to the pace of the English game. Ideally he would play with experienced midfielders whilst getting up to speed but he's playing with Nunez and Ramsey who are also unused to pace of the championship and need the sane bedding in time. In fact, even with Gibbs and Hayden back McLean is the only midfielder with good recent champs Experience!

I want Forest to go down because they spent so much but then I want Bournemouth to go down because it will be embarrassing if they stay up spending less than we did. It's hard to call this season, Fulham have been impressive, Bournemouth have looked good at times ( probably still finish bottom) Forest have to improve surely. Everton will struggle but always seem to just have enough, Leeds may well struggle again, villa are unconvincing.. I guess it will be between those 6,possibly Wolves too,maybe Brentford with a bad run of injuries Southampton,Brighton,Palace seem to be settled mid table teams now.

Even allowing for 3 cbs we shouldn't need more than 10 maximum Then add Maddison and Gallagher from Chelsea or Gordon from Everton, someone that can run and beat players

Seriously, 12 defenders and 5 Midfielders!!! Anything to avoid picking Maddison

Not many singing in the City Stand, I could literally hear the creaky toilet door in the concourse open and close during it. To be fair, we are always quiet

Iike to see Sara start. There's alot for not changing a winning team but to me sometimes the players seem to relax too much and become lazy/sloppy. Its always good to keep them on their toes and giving 100% all the time by letting them know no place is guaranteed even if we win

I'm in the city stand and they don't really bother me, but I am front row so maybe out of worst glare. You would think Krul would report any issues as if it's that bad it would affect him coming for crosses etc more than most. Some doubt anything will be done unless the players report it

"Me,FrankFenway. In the the pinkun forum. with my Reputation?

I'm sure the authorities will make a decision ASAP and it will be announced with plenty of notice at 730pm on Friday
