Too much change, too soon IMO. An alarming lack of experience at this level is also hugely to blame. I think last season's side with a couple of quality, experienced additions would have been fine.

NickBFC

Fofana has to start next game, surely...

NickBFC

4-4 Newcastle

NickBFC

Fofana at least seems decent. Got to go for it now, need 3 points.

NickBFC

4-2 Luton

NickBFC

8 points adrift as things stand.

Kompany needs to get sacked

Beginning to agree. Not learning from his mistakes, some very iffy signings, strange tactics and team selections. So disappointing.

NickBFC

Luton 2-2. Oh to have their attitude...

NickBFC

Absolutely useless.

NickBFC

Zaroury unlucky not to score on debut, rocket volley off the bar for Hull to score from rebound.

NickBFC

Don't know anything about him, but from the obligatory YouTube clips he looks to have some good attributes. Pace, power, reads the game well in the tackle.

NickBFC

Really disappointing how things have worked out this season with Zaroury. I was convinced he would go on to become a top class PL player this season but for whatever reason hasn't been given a proper chance. Not easy playing one week then missing the next several. The way he controls and carries the...

Yes, it's a travesty that players get injured.

Back up left back? Better quality at centre back and right back? I'd say that's a travesty.

NickBFC

£110m+ spent and we line up with this defence

Damage limitation for me tonight, but knowing Burnley we'll win 4-0

Down we go
Personally I prefer the Championship

Agree. This league and VAR is rotten. Destroying my passion for the game.

NickBFC

Being sold?

Think we’ll all go down anyway can’t see the bottom 3 changing unfortunately

Agree, none of us are good enough.

NickBFC

Wtf was that larson fella playing at today. Kin el I've never seen a worse set of corners. Bit like the rest of his touches. He got in all the best positions of anyone and then the ball came off his feet at all kinds of random angles. If I hadn't of known better I'd have thought he was ****** up. H...

It’s infuriating.

Bruun Larsen wants his wage docking for the dross from corner kicks today.

Must have had lessons from Josh

NickBFC

Agree. Barely ever beat the first man when taking one, and usually look like conceding when trying to defend one. Not one physically dominant player in the squad.

NickBFC

The type of character every supporter loves, real 100% player. Wish him well, health is far more important than football.

NickBFC

Three ways to look at it: 1) They are PL quality players and VK isn’t getting the most out of their ability - minus marks for VK 2) They aren’t PL quality players and VK is getting the most out of them - minus marks for the recruitment (heavily influenced by VK) 3) They aren’t PL quality players an...

NickBFC

Is it worth the hassle to save £50? What if the car DID get stolen/vandalised/went up in smoke etc? Unlikely but also not worth the risk/hassle etc IMO.

NickBFC

Always liked Chris. Was excellent in the promotion season and in the PL until that bad injury. Will be a big asset at that level if he stays fit.

NickBFC

I like him, but far too injury prone to even consider taking him back. Not to mention how heavily loaded we are in that position. Suspect he'll end up abroad somewhere.

NickBFC

Amex Stadium very visible from Falmer station.

NickBFC

It really is beyond frustrating to watch the same thing happen time and time again. We really are the masters of our own downfall.

I think that dashcams will be standard on most new cars in the near future (just like reversing cams).

Amazed they aren't already to be honest what with high insurance premiums these days.

NickBFC

Sad news. As mentioned, Euro 96 will long live in the memory - what an exciting side we had then.

NickBFC

I would say the odds are heavily against us to avoid the drop at this stage. Win 2 of the next 3 and things would look a lot better!

NickBFC

I think Amdouni is considerably more talented than Tella and Luca at £3m was better business. Id have loved Tella back but not at the expense of those two. I actually think we’ve signed some excellent players, got the balance slightly wrong and now we need time to build cohesion so we’re no longer ...

NickBFC

Vital we pick up points in these next three games or we run a real risk of being cut adrift.

NickBFC

Something is very, very wrong. We are in total freefall now, if we finish higher than bottom I'll be surprised. An unbelievable cock up and fall from grace after last season. The saying if it isn't broken don't fix it rings true.

NickBFC

Not sure I'd risk a pint of Twyford..

NickBFC

We played really well that night, Vindheim in particular was excellent - I thought he was going to be a bigger player than he was for us on the back of that night. One of those very enjoyable away days.

NickBFC

Looks a class act to me. Agree he should start on Saturday.

NickBFC

Found a space on a driveway for £3.50 odd so gone with that. About 15 mins walk to ground so not too bad.

NickBFC

Looks like both the usual car parks are fully booked. Going to chance arriving early and parking on a street.

NickBFC

It is a bit ridiculous to say it's a must win. But it's a must win for me.

NickBFC

Sad to hear. Before my time as a Claret but wish him well.

NickBFC

I would definitely go with Amdouni. Looks versatile enough to do a job and I like his busyness. Reminds me of Ings in his style and certainly looks to have a goal in him.

NickBFC

You could see he has quality. Sharp and tidy with the ball.

NickBFC

Dalbert looks a decent available freebie signing at left back. Ex Inter who paid big money for him. Had a serious knee injury a year or so ago so could be a risk.

NickBFC

Thought Paintsil was looking like signing for Leeds.

NickBFC

Balde looks rather decent from those highlights it must be said. Oh to have so much pace in the side compared to only a couple of years ago...

NickBFC

Went to this game, and don't remember a game where I was as furious with a decision as that penalty!

NickBFC

Definitely looking up rather than down, but as we know it's an unforgiving league with a load of quality. Any team can beat you if you're not on it. I would hazard a guess around 12-15th finish but the aim is obviously staying up so I'd take 17th TBH!

NickBFC

I think it's best Twine does get out on loan and has a full season of Championship under his belt. I don't think Hull is the right move personally, but if he plays week in, week out then it'll do him and us good.

NickBFC

Pretty sure I was at this game, certainly remember Parks playing at Gigg Lane and think he only made a couple of appearances for us?

NickBFC

Bit of a desperation signing from both parties IMO. A talented player no doubt, but if they get a good performance in five games from him I'll be surprised.
