Nuff Said

I was about to make the same point about Naismith’s debut, but it feels a bit hard on Duda who looks like he should grow with game time.

I think I’ve said this before, but just in case... I don’t hold with most of the conspiracy theories around VAR, but: does it not occur to anyone else that a two to three minute break in play is perfect to slip in a few adverts?

I don’t know why people are surprised that we were nervy and not at our best. I’m pretty sure all the players know we are walking up to the bar in the last chance saloon, and a loss or even a draw to Bournemouth would have been a nail in our coffin. Hopefully as some have said, this allows them a little breathing space to relax and play more freely for the next few games.

I’d be tempted to put Hernandez on, Bournemouth will be tiring with 10 men anyway.

But why on earth would you do that? How could that possibly end in Bournemouth’s favour?

Apparently to check for offside before the handball.

On one side we have stats, goals and appearances - i.e. Farke's verdict - and on the other your "imo". Nuff said.

I’d be tempted to swap Amadou for Rupp and if I felt lucky I might risk Leitner for Trybull but pretty much spot on.

Everything backs up what you are saying except reality. Cantwell’s stats and goals speak for themselves.

The very best of luck to him.

Yours, the forum police. X Admittedly the title isn’t obvious.

I used to have a great T-shirt with a picture of Obi-Wan Kenobi and “Portman Road - you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy” on it. I think they were called Plan 9 or Plan B T-shirts, but they disappeared off the web suddenly, I suspect for copyright reasons.

You don’t do yourself any favours posting what it only takes a moment to see is rubbish. 1 - do you seriously believe Zimmerman has been better than Hanley in recent games? As the estimable Captain Pants has said, Zimbo might make the odd spectacular last minute tackle, but it’s Hanley who has been better of the two. And I say that in sorrow because Zimbo was my POTS last season. 2 - “the club has refused to spend absolutely anything to try and stay up”. Did you miss us spending money loaning and buying players in the summer? Did you miss Duda and Rupp joining? Loans aren’t free you know. 3 - apparently Drmic has a woeful injury record. How you think we afforded him? Doesn’t Byram have “a woeful injury record” too? Or does that not count because it doesn’t fit your fantasy that the club has spent no money? We have to gamble with the funds we have, and one way we do that is to take a calculated risk with players whose value is lower than it might be because of injuries. Sometimes it will work, sometimes it won’t, but if we do our homework well (and I would be confident Webber does exactly that) it can be effective way to pick up a bargain - as Byram emphatically demonstrates.

Aren't a lot of our under 23s out on loan, so we have to pick underage players for these type of fixtures?

He's on a long contract and if he gets a good offer, we should strongly consider offering him more to stay. How much would we have to pay to get anyone close to replace him?
