Budapest Canary

Wagner clearly had a game plan, one that made sense in the context of our run-in and especially Saturday's derby. We could have given it all and still lost 5-4. From this perspective, staying in the game until the 95th while being second best all the way does not seem that that bad, even if it was not a happy sight. It was meant to improve our chances of winning at home on Saturday, which was always the more winnable of the two fixtures. Also, should we make it to the playoffs, I'd rather play the Scum or Leeds than Leicester.

I officially join the Rowe Fan Club.

I've just read about his retirement, and I came here immediately.

I remember Kane's spell with us well, as I've seen his only PL start in green and yellow in the flesh against West Ham at Upton Park. It was the fist post-Holt season under Houghton, when we were trying to play a lone striker-based, ultra-defensive game without a proper lone striker. In hindsight Kane could have been the answer, but he did not get much game time, partly because of an early injury. On that game he looked as lonely as a lone striker would get as we were sitting deep, trying to whack balls every now and than in his direction, looking to young and inexperienced to do all the tussle and dirty gamesmanship this setup would have required (and to fill in the hole Holt had left). After that game Kane went back to the bench as we bought in Becchio and Kamara, so no-one was missing him much when he got recalled by Spurs.

Yesss! Come on you purples!

Hugill, all of them. We ought to change shirt at HT.

Too right. No prior sightings in ASDA? Pff. Quagiarella was the real deal.

Maybe he felt outshined. Woke up one morning looking California and feeling Minnesota, then called his agent.

Furthermore, his situation in Leeds would be more like when he took us back for the second time freshly after relegation, and not when he did it for the first time, when he had to build the team almost from scratch.

Sorry for responding so slowly, I haven't been around for a while. Shafer is an exciting young player, who has been injured a lot lately. He picked up three injuries since November, and has been mostly out for the rest of the season. Although his latest injury seems to be a light one, and will probably be fit by the start of the season I don't see why would ha want to play Championship football instead of Champions League with Union Berlin. I'd rather recommend another Hungary international, Callum Styles (who is actually English with a Hungarian granny 🙂 ), who plays in the same positions, but a bit more versatile, plus with some 130 Chumps games under his belt he know this league in-and out. He spent the last season on loan with Millwall from Barnsley, who are willing to sell (around 3m) or loan him out again. On basis of the Hungary internationals I saw involving one or the other player I think Styles is as good as or better than Shafer and a more realistic target for us.

OK, thanks, I missed that. I thought he'd focus on the national team and stuff. Happy that at 33 he feels he has left enough in the tank for that.

My guess is Finland.

You've beaten mne to posting this. Apparently Todd's working hard to maintain his contoversial image up North.

Phone QPR for special late collection, perhaps in home box office? They may have a protocol for that.

We had a bright start to the game, we could build on that.

That. At 33 he'd probably be happy with less pressure at club level, while still wanting to keep fit and eligible for his Finland duties. With HJK he could press for the title again and also look forward to playing European football. (Last season HJK's EL group included Roma and Betis). I don't how that would work out for him financially, but professionally and in terms of extending his career it seems to be the best option.

I've just read that they consider a 25 yo. Moroccan international striker (Ryan Mmaee) from Ferencváros.

Farke's first season was about rebuilding, this one is about falling apart. In that respect it rather reminds me of Worthington's post-relegation season of 2006/7. Our next season might easily become something like Farke's first.

Jeez. We concede the league's cr*appiest goals. Hands down.

We're lucky not to be behind, that's the only positive.

As long as we have a lion's share of the possession, I'm happy.
