  1. After Worthington's last game against Burnley.
  2. Omobamidele got into the first team without going on loan. The players that are on loan aren't getting enough game time and as a consequence no loaned out player has made it as a first team regular for 3 years. I'm talking about our loan system and going Omobamidele as an example, last year he was at the same level as Omotoye and behind Martin.
  3. So he would have played in the Prem without any first team experience? If so, it is greater proof that loans aren't working.
  4. If Gibson hadn't been injured Omo wouldn't have played so he would probably be out on loan now. Its then up to his manager if he wants to bring through his own players and not rely on a young kid on loan. The last time it worked was 3 years ago with Cantwell. Omobamidele has benefited by not going on loan.
  5. Those were all a few years ago. Now we've got players like Omotoye and Martin struggling to get game time. Then when they do well we question whether they can do it at the top level. If Omobamidele had gone on loan he would probably been in the same position as Famewo.
  6. Hughes used to divide his time clapping, losing the ball and assaulting fans. The loan system is a bit of a mess at the moment. It's used for either getting rid of mistake buys or disrupting the progress of promising players.
  7. Funny how we cry out for players to go on loan for experience. Then when they do well we dismiss it because its a lower league. The goals are four times bigger in Croatia, the goalie is usually in the pub and the defence is sunbathing on the halfway line, not that the Croatians know how to play football anyway.
  8. "you may as well just relegate them now because they've got no chance of staying up" not really analysys is it. . Trouble is it influences people, no wonder refs have no problem giving decisions against us. He likes Brentford though, Toney is a "proper, proper player"
  9. We took a free kick too quickly, terrible pass by Tomkinson, Khumbeni tried a back pass and got too much on it. Goalie should have used his hands. Rowe looks quality, well taken goal.
  10. Good idea to not play someone the opposition feels threatened by and might ask for decisions we deserve.
  11. Warning! this thread could be optimistic - Statistics needed.
  12. So why did we do so well the season after we sold Maddison?, the Murphy brothers, Pritchard, Hoolahan, Oliveira all went too, but we relied so much on Maddison. Buendia was not fantastic last time in the Prem and couldn't save us. It's not fair to Pukki to say that he is only half the player without Buendia, they had a good understanding but his goals were hardly tap ins. Replacing Skipp and Tettey was always going to be difficult but Gilmour was a good start. We are using a different formation so this will take some getting used to. We weren't in a great position this time last season or on the previous promotion season, it's too early to write us off. Webber and Farke deserve more of a chance considering the state of the club when they arrived.
  13. So Sargent is better because he cost a lot of money? Better in ten minutes than someone who's scored goals for us? Idah was equally as good in those 10 minutes as he was against Leicester. I've nothing against Sargent (although his hairstyle reminds me of the kid from Bad Santa) but he's got a lot to do to prove he was worth what we paid. Don't be embarrassed about your ears, you could always grow your hair.
  14. He would have improved the defence because he was fit at the start of the season. I think we wrote off the first few games too easily and it has cost us dearly. Unfortunately it has also set up Brentford as a comparison. In the past if we have really wanted a player we would have done all we can. If we thought Ajer was only worth 10M, why would we want to buy him? Anyway Kabak could turn out better in the long run, let's wait and see.
  15. Rashica was recovering from and injury and Cantwell was out. Tzolis is one for the future. They're not wingers in the traditional sense, wing backs are closer to the old Jimmy Neighbour type. Signing three strikers was excessive, I would have preferred that we didn't sign Sargent, kept Hughill and bought Ajer. The new signings need to justify their inclusion pretty quickly.
  16. Any reason? Has he had a shot on target in the league yet?
  17. Do you prefer Sargent? Idah scored our last league goal apart from Pukki. RVW, Naismith and Drmic had more productive starts than Sargent or Rashica.
  18. It's wrong to criticise Webber for selling Buendia so cheaply without acknowledging how well we bought him. Fair play to Webber dining out on those two, they were both important buys that have completely changed the direction in which the club was going. Getting rid of people never does any good, it's who you bring in. This season could turn around, let's wait and see.

  20. I think mistakes have been made with the summer recruitment, Buendia and Ajer. We have spent a lot on loans which will all be wasted if we go down. Kabak and Norman should have been the first players in rather than last minute. On the other hand, Webber was responsible for bringing in Buendia and Pukki. Sacking him would do no good. Talking about getting rid of people at this point of the season is pointless and the motive can only be punishment/revenge which is unfair in light of what they have achieved.
  21. Yes it is, isn't it. We know what he can do, he hasn't suddenly got worse.To get the best out of him we need to get behind him.
  22. As we all do from all our players. But singling him out is unfair and does no good.
