As positive as ever Rudi. There must be one element of the club you are almost satisfied with. Go on, have a think. Maybe Kayla the eagle, does that cheer you up? The cheerleaders...surely they put a smile on your face on a Saturday.

This is unfair. He isn't lazy, and exhibits football intelligence in his movement when deployed properly.

It's not his fault that as a head on a stick we neither have players able to deliver balls into the box nor a manager willing to set the team up to play to his strengths.

I expect a savvy manager will come in for him and we'll end up with egg on our faces .

A £30mil CF who needs the ball planted on his head six yards out to make any meaningful attacking contribution and even then is more likely to miss than score.

Yep. The glimpses of him improving at the start of the season at Fulham and recently at Arsenal do not last long. I think him losing form under Roy is no coincidence but even so, he’s sh1t. I love the way instead of chasing one player down he just stands between the two. He’s a fvcking waste of space and it’s like having half a person st best as our 11th man. We’ve been carrying the cvnt.

Remember AWB only got a game due to injuries, was a winger not a full back.

Look how that turned out.

We won't get much in the transfer market being priced out everywhere maybe a free agent or two?

So who is coming through, we need a couple more AWBs at least.

I would have been nice to see one or two youngsters given a chance in the remaining games, but having seen a fair bit of the U23s I don't think anyone is close.
I think the main hope would be for Kirby to develop next year to a regular in the squad.

I do wonder how many u23 games the people crying out for young players to be given a chance have actually seen.

I agree with your assessment although I wonder if Luke Dreher might be another contender. Feeling his way back from injury, I thought he did OK against Leeds a couple of weeks back.

Thanks. How confident do you feel that you understand it? This is a sincere question, not a passive aggressive one (if it comes across like that). My simpler view had, until I read this, been that our trailing expenditure on players' wages was extraordinarily high as a proportion of our revenue, likely taking us to the brink of FFP.

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

Meyer has been a disaster.

2. Wilf was happy last season. Then came the summer. This season he isn’t. You may be right in that he doesn’t leave, because he’s been so disappointing mostly, partly down to Wilf and Foy.

4. The problem with a keeper being excellent for a free transfer may not be good enough when it comes down to it. He has very little presence. I was hopeful at first because despite that near gaffe vs Vardy I thought he was pretty good on the ball, but he’s a keeper and I get the impression he’s never going to master the aerial part of prem football. SPeroni had his faults (flapping v QPR at home, needlessly coming off his line vs Coventry etc), but I make him much better than Guaita, who’ll get targeted with balls he can’t deal with. Prem managers are more ruthless as we go.

Some duds? How about too many? Jack, Rakip, Schlupp (in addition to PVA) because we didn’t buy a LB 4 months before, Meyer, who Roy doesn’t want but Parish did, and the evidence was the photo shoot stunt thing.

5. I agree. I said so when some were thinking FDB would be producing stars within a few years. I said it would probably be after he left, and by that I meant a decent run as manager.

I thought I said before 2010, meaning after they bought the club for a few million. Clyne had been playing regularly before then under Warnock, and at left back.

I want what’s best for us and I’m not one to convince myself some things are great when I see there’s issues. Hopefully things will improve.
