Keane doesn’t like us because he’s pally with Dyche and didn’t like the way we treated him. Could be wrong, but he was saying we were going to struggle in the Championship last season and that it was a big mistake sacking him. So, while his opinions may by something you agree with, worth taking with...

Don’t really get the Townsend shout, who hasn’t really been pulling up any trees for Luton. Ok you can say we could have dealt with it better, but that’s a different issue. We also did sign Redmond, who again has suffered an unfortunate injury.

Swizzlestick

To be fair, Luton have been without their main defender and captain for a large part of the season after the pretty traumatic incident at Bournemouth. They’ve outperformed expectations, we…haven’t.

Injuries to Koleosho,Foster,Taylor,Beyer and failure to play Benson, Cork, Zaroury and Jayrod have imo been all a major factor.

Worth pointing out that Hull benched Zaroury last night.

Swizzlestick

Another poor result for Rovers. They are right in it.

Swizzlestick

While I understand the Blades travails all season, you can very much attribute some blame to Wilder for tonight. Got the set up all wrong and Trusty at full back is just bizarre. They’ve got worse under him.

Swizzlestick

Good lord. It’s a creative angle for further criticism I’ll give you that. John W Henry is probably better dressed because he only rocks up in a cup or title decider. Sheikh Mansour doesn’t even turn up. Ditto Kroenke etc. Think Todd Boehly was wearing a causal t-shirt the other month. In summary - ...

I’m not a regular contributor on UTC but I always really enjoy reading comments and seeing what other fans are thinking on the current status of the team. Since day dot I’ve been perplexed by the Trafford situation and felt the casting aside of Muric was rank man management. For my money, it should...

Going off their performance against Newcastle on Tuesday night, firstly I'd be surprised if they don't pick up the required points and secondly I wouldn't like to play them at the moment! Getting up for a one off cup game against a PL team (which they still lost) is somewhat different to the slog o...

Swizzlestick

Don’t condone the booing, it’s ridiculous, but Kompany’s management over this has been utterly awful. Any manager worth his salt could see he needed taking out of the firing line weeks ago, and he’s just left him out there to take the heat. Really not good. Turning into a bit of a nightmare transfer...

Swizzlestick

I'm doubly peed off because this is one of the games i picked last July when Pace conned me and thousands of others into panic buying tickets last summer on the back of the title winning euphoria. So I've actually had to trek up to Burnley to sit on the Turf this afternoon and witness whatever sham...

Swizzlestick

It’s a tired record but keeping Trafford in the nets is a continuing decision that’s now bordering on unbelievable. The lad is under so much pressure - v poor management.

Vitinho on the wing is…inexplicable. If it’s actually five at the back, even more so.

Swizzlestick

He really likes Vitinho doesn’t he?

Andy Holt appears to have deleted his Twitter account.

Exactly, I've never seen a set of fans behave like some of ours have this season, falling over themselves to praise other teams in an effort to slag burnley off.

The Blackburn game the other night was a new low.

Swizzlestick

BobSykes must be gutted about today.

Yet to win a game under Eustace which is worrying for them to say the least.

Swizzlestick

If the pay was decent, young people would jump at it in towns where opportunities for skilled and semi-skilled work are very low, especially if the pay was decent. I see plenty of young people knee-deep in mud and in all weathers too - no recruitment issues either because the starting rate is above...

Because in this snowflake generation there would be no one willing to work down the pits.
It wouldn’t be good for their mental health and well being.

You'd be front of the queue of course.

I know we’re having a bad season but perhaps a little hasty.

Swizzlestick

Loved The Hairy Bikers - great, easy to follow recipes and very entertaining. Dave always came across as an absolute gent with no airs and graces. Really sad news. Rest in peace.

Swizzlestick

I remember plying Wigan Athletic in the Premier League in 2009 at home, I think we lost 3-1 from memory, and I stated back then that we just weren’t equipped physically for the Premier League. They had athletes, big physical guys who could also run, in their team and they dominated us. It was a lig...

And that is why I question the view that we will walk the championship next season: I think we are in for a decade of reality: that we are a mid-table championship side

Did you mention this in corporate?

Rovers showed spirit and a game plan tonight - the championship will be tough next year

So tough Rovers may not be in it.

Good cup tie but yet to win a game under Eustace. 120 minutes of football, away to Swansea at the weekend, four points above the drop zone…

Swizzlestick

On this showing Rovers will have a field day against us next season, home and away They are immeasurably better than our crock of sh1t offering. Heartbreaking watching the passion desire and grit from those down the road conpared to the garbage we've been served up all season. Get a grip for the lo...

That’s absolutely disgusting.

Embarrassing fee paid and embarrassing wages being paid to a League One standard keeper.

Humiliating.

Convinced you’re some sort of bot.

Swizzlestick

What an utter farce.

Swizzlestick

As I keep saying,there's 19 million reasons why he keeps starting. You can keep saying it, but he’s not been regularly starting all his other big money signings. Koleosho was ahead of Odobert in the pecking order before injury. Ramsey only just getting in the team before his injury. Tresor AWOL for...

Wilders got a better record than VK since returning.

As you’d expect - new guy in and we’ve been diabolical. And yet they’re still below us. What’s the difference in results, a point or something? Hardly suggests long term success but who knows.

Swizzlestick

Wilder since returning will have a better record than VK in a like for like comparison. The only reason they are on the same points tally as us is because heckingbottom stayed too long & wilder didn't go there sooner Can only imagine the reaction on here from the likes of you if a new manager came ...

Swizzlestick

Boro and Watford fans may have a different answer if you ask them about Wilder’s ability to get out of the Championship

Swizzlestick

Stoke had three consecutive top ten finishes in the PL after Pulis left. It’s not change of philosophy as such, more making the right decisions particularly in the transfer market. Something we patently haven’t done.

Swizzlestick

I’ve been highly critical of Brownhill’s performances this season, but this is hardly worth getting your knickers in a twist about. Comes across as more of a ‘it never rains but it pours’ smile.

As already alluded to, when we go down, he'll be the first one in with a transfer request.

He can request one, he might not be getting one. Can’t be featuring highly in too many scouting reports.

Are people starting to believe the information that I heard at the start of the season yet?

When fit, contractually, Trafford has to start!

There’s nothing else that can explain why Kompany won’t drop him.

I think you’ve had one too many in The Fleece…

Post of the day.

Swizzlestick

It certainly does but people have written this post ten times over already this season and that is why I'm in the go camp now. Do you expect that there will be big changes next week? Probably not, but I would envisage this is the first time he's had a bit of grief from the support (as per CT). Inte...

Swizzlestick

That absolutely is not happening. Brownhill change is forced, but it's gonna be the same team, the same setup, the same attitude, the same effort, the same errors we've seen without mitigation since the winter set in and the optimism that inevitably flourished in the early season dissipated. If Tra...

Swizzlestick

Stay but my god he’s on wafer thin ice. Has to be big changes next week - in personnel, tactics and attitude.

Swizzlestick

We've abandoned everything. It's crazy. Without wishing to reignite a tired debate on this thread too, I do think it's partly to accommodate a keeper who doesn't have the skillset. There are many, many other issues. We're now just this odd vaguely pragmatic playing for percentages team using player ...

Benson on 90 minutes in. Good one Vinny.

Swizzlestick

Just get us out of the league.

Swizzlestick

World's smallest 'yay

Swizzlestick

Get Muric, Cullen (from the start), Benson and Rodriguez back in this team. Try and at least get some pride back.

Swizzlestick

It's now becoming the stuff of nightmares, this. We've talked about how patient the support has been so far, really could start to turn now.

Swizzlestick

I've lost track of the amount of times I've said variations of this throughout the season, but in his wildest dreams Glasner couldn't have come up with an easier game. A team bereft of ideas, confidence and basic work rate. Massively on the manager, this.

Swizzlestick

Get Benson on for the love of god. Why not, we're down anyway.

Swizzlestick

And there we go.

Swizzlestick

What I don’t like about this club though, and this messageboard, is the singling out of 18, 19, 20, 21 year old players. We should be better than that as supporters. Players like Odobert will have quiet games at his age. He is a talent. There's a difference between having a quiet game and not putti...
