Yep. The nonsense that Alan Pace was spouting over the summer about doing everything possible to keep hold of the most beautiful girl in town just seemed like a cringey soundbite at the time, but it was clearly factored in to the summer activities. The camera on the stream I was watching panned to ...

Interestingly, the thinking on who goes is largely consistent. Big focus is on making it happen and we ship them out, recouping money and saving wages. But we need to ensure our more prized jewels ie Berge, Odobert, Koleosho, Muric, Cullen, Amdouini stay

Maybe it was a pen, but do you think this team could stop Newcastle scoring during 80 minutes-clutching at straws here

Cullen and Edkal fuming with him.

VK needs to show some balls and not play him again-luckily we did not buy him

Glad it's all over, almost a relief to stop thinking about it.

Exactly how I felt after being "carried away with hope" in the last 8 games. Today was so important we kept pace with Forest and we absolutely capitulated big style when they scored

VK is a vastly different manager to the one that got us promoted. Last year everything he did turned to gold-the players he bought, his coaching, his ability to change the way we played during a game, the research on the opposition, his press conferences. Just don't know whats gone wrong. I knew it ...

TO GO Trafford -Liverpool apparently want him Taylor-clearly not rated by VK Cork Rodriguez Beyer-wants to go JBG-desperately past it Brownhill-sell now that he has a years extension Benson -VK does not rate Assignon-is leaving anyway Fofana see Assignon Tresor-hopefully no obligation to take him Eg...

Going down due to a combination of very poor management, poor coaching and not having players of PL standard. I watched it on a stream today, and we were fantastic for about 15 minutes-moving it sweetly and making good runs. Eddie Howe sees whats going on and snubs out Assignon and gets his team to ...

11 players all playing in their preferred positions would be a good starting point!! Hope its same starting 11 as last week v Man Utd, except for Amdouini coming in for Forfana and Foster playing the No 9. Fofana can come on to replace either Foster or Amdouini from the bench, depending on how eith...

I was never a huge fan of Muric until the last 7 or 8 games since hes been back in the first team..He is a far far better keeper than when we won the championship and I love the speed he can get an attack going. For me I would love him to be our keeper and then we should loan Trafford out to either ...

warksclaret

Lots on here quite rightly saying we need someone to take our chances. I think despite not playing recently Amdouini is the best we have. He looked hungry again when he came on, and was not only brave in leaping for the aerial ball where he got smashed, but incredibly cool with the brilliant penalty...

I said a few months ago , when we were really playing bad that I would not mind losing games,or even being relegated if every player was giving their all. Yesterday and recently I have been seeing a totally different side, who have upped their games and minimised the mistakes (not totally). Its made...

Watched the second half on a stream-thanks to whoever posted the link. Cant believe the improvement we have maed. Very open game and at the start of the season we would have been taken apart but our defenders particularly O Shea were immense, and Muric look really composed and safe

Oh yeah VK just doesn’t like them, nothing to do with Roberts being poor (even Dyche didn’t fancy Roberts) and then getting himself sent off. Nothing to do with Cullens poor form, he took time adjusting to the league and needed taking out for his own good. You can certainly say Muric wasn’t given h...

Vk has a dislike of Cullen now? The guy he brought from Anderlecht where'd he managed him previously? I dont know-maybe "dislike" is the wrong word, so for what reason did VK not pick Cullen to start until 3 March, when he had played one of his best games when starting v Spurs in the Cup , early da...

warksclaret

For the same reason Muric was not involved until match 28, same reason Cullen was frozen out until a Brownhill sending off forced VK to pick him, same reason Roberts was sent to Leeds. VK seems to have a dislike of certain players and we will never know why

Several sources saying Shurandy Sambo . a young Dutch right back is penning a 4 year deal with us. From what I have read he is a highly rated player at PSV Eindhoven who is coming to the end of his contract, and would be a free

Not many better CH pairings than Tarks & Braithwaite. Not sure what that muppet Southgate saw in playing Maguire instead of giving Braithwaite time in what was a friendly.Maguire is not going to get better but Braithwait is

Just got back as I had a ticket. Watched Leicester quite a bit this year , they turned a notch up tonight and got stuck into Saints. They did not have many chances but took them all well. Remind me a bit of us last season-two very good wingers (Zarroury & Benson), and a good veteran up front that gi...

This might be a clever ploy by Forest ensuring if there are any 50/50 VAR decisions in their next 4 games, then they may get the benefit as the authorities will not want a repeat and further criticism. Forest will also know we play them in the final game, and that game could well be a decider of who...

Some shocking pundits on match of the day like Ashley Williams and Glenn Murray. Have very little input of their own. Andy Townsend is another. They do a little bit of research on players/clubs that more creative pundits/journalists have said, then use it as if its their original material. Just abou...

Coventry did themselves proud, and the Championship too. For us I hope Kompany/Ballamy were watching Man Utd today. It really is in our hands on Saturday and Forest play Man City

Is he not going to one of the Glasgow clubs-forget which of the two has been linked

Lovely to see Josh playing so well since he came on at Palace following Brownhill's sending off at Palace. He was unfortunate not to keep his place following a good performance v Spurs in the Cup early Jan. For me the unsung hero last year.Hopefully VK has realised he is vital to our team

How sad-been following the clarets since 1960 and in my 3 favourite ever players I watched him in a League Cup mid week game at Coventry. He had yet to break into the team, and for some reason Paul Fletcher had an issue getting to Coventry and his mum drove him there in a Mini. He was sensational th...

In mentioning Koleosho I suppose you could say we were lucky he got injured, otherwise he would surely be targeted by a Premier League club.

At least we know whats keeping him out

Last year I started to get real pains in my knee and got them x-rayed to be told it was the inevitable arthritis. It was so bad I could barely sleep at night despite being very active at the age of 73. I started taking a heavy dose of Glucosamine & Chrondroitin but did not see the improvement. For t...

Agree with the above….. the lack of info on injuries nowadays is just weird.

Forgetting VAR,points deductions for other teams and a number of wrong refereeing decisions, theres no reason why we could not have beaten WHU at least once, Luton at home, Palace at home, Wolves at home,Brighton at home,Forest away, and taken a point at Wolves,Everton. Thats 16 points extra as a re...

I love when fans suggest offering a player a coaching role. It happened with Barnes, Heaton the other day I think, and it's happened here. What makes Rodriguez a good coach? Is he interested in being a coach? Is he qualified? Agreed-and to all those suggesting an extension or coaching role, its not...

Been a great player probably peaking at Southampton. He showed at Chelsea he still had the control, touch and vision, but sadly at his age the pace and sharpness are no longer there, nor the consistency. I hope he can extend his career-I think Stoke could be a tough ask for him and they wont show hi...

Be interesting to see how SD sets up Everton on Saturday. Forest are no mugs and can attack quickly, with genuine pace with several players. Does he set up not to lose or set up like he did v Chelsea which gave him one of his biggest defeats in his career. Then they play Liverpool, who might tear th...

Ultra dependable. We got the best out of him. He chipped in with some great goals too. We were lucky to have got him when money was tight

Could have made the difference in us staying up this season sadly

Al Dakhill is my worry-shocking in the games he has played in this season and too inconsistent. Needs to go on loan. Beyer is simply a sick note-almost fit enough to play according to VK as long ago as mid Jan, but now the Lord Lucan of the team For me we have a real prospect in Esteve, Ekdal has ev...

warksclaret

Said this before, but Everton, despite their position, have the 4th best defensive record. Not a coincidence that their manager SD makes them not mess about at the back, but just hit it long to the likes of Calvert Lewin. I too saw the reaction of Cullen and Brownhill when Brightons goal crept under...

warksclaret

I think in 7 seasons of the PL, SD played Tarks in midfield several times, and Jeff Hendrick right wing for a run of games, or as a No 10 if short of strikers. Other than that everyone played in their most suitable positions. Maybe thats why we could compete for 7 years in this division

Anyone who saw him at his peak will have him in their top 3 claret players. I pray he stabilises and recovers

The more I read these threads the more I question morale in the camp. What happens at the end of the season might be more entertaining than what we are watching on the pitch

warksclaret

One of the many problems with our team is lack of character. When we concede, especially when it's from a mistake, heads very visibly drop. Agreed-and another major stat being Luton have gained 12 points from losing position. That tells me there is maybe something wrong with our mentality, substitu...

I'm sorry but the howler yesterday can happen to all keepers. However awful it was, it doesn't make him a bad goalkeeper.

Totally agree-and probably happens once or twice a lifetime. Except with Muric, its twice in two weeks

warksclaret

Muric had errors last season. This season, his general keeping is much better and his distribution has made a vital difference. The defence is building a confidence it never had in Trafford. Muric distribution is as good if not better than just about all of the rest of the league, bar the top two k...

How many times is this happening? What on earth is VK thinking about. Odobert, left wing. Brunn Larson, right wing. Foster, CF. Fofana, from bench. Vitinho, not left back!!
