Maybe he's just not used to playing so defensively and so narrow - not at all like a normal wide player who is encouraged to get down the line and put crosses into the box

When you've got wide men who are told to play defensive and narrow you will never see any crosses into the box - and that applies at home as well as away

Spot on

Passing accuracy of just over 60% (Swansea over 80%) shows our weakness - we just can't hang on to the ball long enough to take some control in the game
Their 5 man midfield is in charge but SD won't change unless we are losing

jojomk1

For me, the one hope is that, if we stay up, Keane will sign another contract I can fully understand him not wanting to commit to us earlier this season when we were one of the favourites to go down One way or another a decision has to be made fairly quickly after the season finishes and if that mea...

If the Board think we can get outside investment whilst retaining overall control of the club then why not https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/2843529/burnley-chief-mike-garlick-has-acquired-a-taste-for-keeping-the-prem-league-battlers-in-rude-health/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Boyd and Arfield have been primarily used as part of a defensive formation this season and have coped reasonably well in most games Given the level of opposition and possession that we had on Saturday, they both had the chance to show the attacking, flair side of their games They both failed miserab...

After that display I'm sure Conte will be considering a summer bid Noticed also, in pre match newspaper articles, that Conte was highlighting his knowledge of the positive attributes of Gray. Given that Costa will be going to the Chinese takeaways in the summer there could be some interest shown wit...

Hull still have most of the bottom sides to play at home and given their progress on the pitch under the new manager, I have had a punt on them to stay up at 11/4
For me, Sunderland then 2 from Palace,Leicester, Swansea and Boro

Some thought provoking stories down the side as well

Article from SSN Web site this morning - not sure I like the idea that we are not included in discussion

Looking at the remaining fixtures for the bottom 6 clubs then 6 points should be enough this season to stay up

jojomk1

No one would disagree he works his arse off and does great defensive work every time he turns out. The problem is his complete lack of pace to go past a man, his poor running off the ball in attacking positions where he does not make himself available enough, can't remember when he last put a decen...

Having read the Birmingham Mail article, it looks as though he's a player who doesn't seek the limelight, follows instructions, works hard, keeps the game simple and does the basics very well indeed. Also has a little bit of technical quality as well. Or to put it another way, a Sean Dyche-type mid...

Would rather a loan to see how things go, but good cover for Marney if true

jojomk1

we do still have Mee to cover LB in emergencies - Ward has been excellent this season and it would have been hard to drop him if Robertson did sign

jojomk1

Sorry
Just got home after a few pints and got a text message
DOH !

jojomk1

Might be another option to replace Marney ? - linked before the start of the season and not featuring under Bruce

jojomk1

On SSN just now - Hull adamant nobody will be leaving unless replacements come in first - they are hoping to sign 3-4 players before window closes

jojomk1

Dyche quote on SSN along the lines that we are not just buying for now, but for the future of the club Great respect to Ward and Boyd but a future left sided pairing of Robertson and Brady is something we could only dream about at the start of this season Add Gosling loan, and the end to a great month

jojomk1

A usually well informed guy (not CT), claims to have received a text from one of the players saying the deal is done

jojomk1

But does Ulloa want Sunderland - I doubt it !

jojomk1

We couldn't afford the wages for Snodgrass so forget this one
Swap the bright lights of London for Burnley !!!!!

jojomk1

Hull have prob gone public with the £10m figure to encourage a further bidding war between any interested parties

We have to be realistic and accept that any other PL club (apart from Sunderland) will be able to offer higher wages than ourselves

The same also applies to Brady

jojomk1

Stephens will be going nowhere this month
If, as expected, Brighton get promoted don't be surprised if he suddenly decides he likes the south coast more than he thought, and signs a new contract

jojomk1

SA and JBG both out with hamstrings (don't know when due back and given its JBG's second, similar injury we will have to make sure he is right before bringing him back again) Marney looking likely to be out, given he was stretchered off, and Barton likely to face a reasonable ban at the end of the m...

jojomk1

SSN reporting that he may be available for loan with Boro sniffing
That would be some good pace out wide

jojomk1

Certainly, in more recent games, we have always put a man on the back post
Poor defending for the first goal and nobody marking Koscienly for the second
These are basic mistakes that we need to sort

jojomk1

If you look on the Brady thread, it's there. Norwich are bringing in a left back and once that's done they will sell Brady. The manager has even said it. Where has their manager actually been reported as saying this? He was only playing left back today because Olsson has gone and replacement not ye...

Would appear not - on paper Looking at their last accounts (for Prem League season) figures looked good. Made a profit of £9.4m, showed a debt of just £2.6m to banks and £2m to directors which have all now been paid off True, they have to run this season on lower income streams but they have said th...

jojomk1

Lennon on the right with Brady on the left sounds pretty good to me
But, would only want him on a loan until the end of the season to see how things go

jojomk1

Exchange deal with Costa!

jojomk1

Appears that Sunderland will not be spending much money this Jan so would think it very hard for them to stay up Swansea and Hull are bringing players in and expect even more especially at Swansea Palace will get some players in plus BFS was an important signing for them anyway Our away games agains...

If Leicester are interested then they should be able to blow us out of the water in terms of wages and the chance of Champions League football. Hasn't Ranieri also said this week that he would like to have a centre back in before the end of the month If we have shown genuine interest then it shows a...
