Anyone else seen the videos doing the rounds on X and Tik Tock of the Burnley fan doing an airplane impression and then moving his hand across his neck?
Embarrassing for our club, more so that he’s a grown man!!
Yes.
It's absolutely shocking from a bloke who appears to be in his 40s/50s.

I have no interest in your nit picking, I’d just like to see a little more support on here for VK and the team. 1 loss in 9, we are moving in the right direction after a difficult start finding our feet, we can still do it.

The lack of support for the manager and team on here is absolutely shocking, clear signs of improvement over the season, giving their all, just more than matched United at Old Trafford yet some just can’t wait to slag off VK, 1 loss in 8? Yet zero trust shown in his selections. It’s almost like som...

Foster up top and Gudmundsson wide right for me next week
Yep, either that or Odobert wide right with Brownhill coming in behind Foster.
Either way, just get Fofana back on the bench.

At least we're playing like an actual men's football team these days and not a weak, timid U18s side like earlier in the season. Great to see these players playing with some actual character and balls over recent games. If we hadn't have spent 2/3s of the season playing with dogger selections and ta...

It's also highly likely that Fofana's inclusion will mean that Foster has to play on the right wing again lol.

It's always a good idea to change a winning team.
It's always an even better idea to bring in a bobbins centre forward like Fofana.

QPR have been absolutely amazing so far in this game. They look like a seriously impressive team.

I'm not surprised that Larsen's record for us shows 5 goals but 0 assists.

Yes he’s been very good since his return to the side.

He should have been reintroduced far ...

With a spend of over £100m since VK has been here, so we should be challenging at the top end of the Championship.

Why was it wrong? I think it was wrong because the players who ‘benefitted’ from the extra fitness and team building efforts, which I presume was the point, have barely featured and lots have left. VK must have known by then of his plans to turn the squad over as much as he did. The team hasn’t loo...

No. I think Milltown’s original point appears to be that VK brought them back too early. Otherwise I don’t see the relevance to a fitness thread. To be honest I don’t remember much critism of it at the time. Easy in hindsight to add it to the growing list of things VK has done wrong. Well my mistak...

We were never going to pay that.
We loaned him, I believe, knowing he had fitness issues. Sounds like he's just about got himself fully match-fit now with Millwall.
He only had fitness issues because he barely featured for Swansea after being denied a move to us in the summer.

Fully agree. They were wanting about 12 million as I recall.
Crikey. I didn't realise it was that much. I had £9m in my head but it was a while ago so could be wrong.
I dread to think how much money we'd have lost on him had we paid around those figures.

I'm not one to pretend to be 'ITK' but I've heard that went down like a lead balloon. Hardly worked either has it?
Especially not given most of the players he called back have either been shipped out somewhere else now or have hardly featured.

Hopefully we’ll sign players with the qualities we need as opposed to signing players who might, potentially, one day, if the wind is in the right direction, make us a profit.

I'm shocked that anyone would be comparing Esteve to Keane or Tarkowski at this stage. He has had some decent games and some poor games so far.
As yet, he's a long way off comparisons to two of our top three centre halves in recent years, in my opinion.
