Trafford 3 - +3 for some shot stopping Assignon 4 - he at least puts in the effort O’Shea 4 - bullied Estève 4 -bullied Taylor 4 - more solid than the alternatives but totally exposed on the left Berge 4 - I still think our best player but I he has lost any belief Brownhill 3 - completely hung out t...

Criticism and abuse are two very different things. would you consider the following to be 'criticism'? 'How many times will we persist with this muppet in goal' 'Why was no player in Trafford's face calling him a useless ****' 'Trafford is a joke' 'Well done Trafford you effing idiot' 'IDIOT TRAFFO...

Certainly this message board problem, less so a club thing. The 3-4 who abuse Trafford has grown into a solid 10+ on the matchday threads. Then again its all to easy to spoud diatribe behind a keyboard, when if you did the same in the stadium someone is likely to tell you to shut the F up... I was ...

Blatant red. Stupid but understandable. Trafford kicking the ball to the opponent criminal. He is fundamentally not equipped for this level and no amount of wishing or hoping otherwise will change it.

I’m not 100% sure how I feel about this. My mum was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 4 years ago and anything which makes her life easier would of course be very welcome. However with her medication it is currently well managed and she is fortunate that it is not progressing super rapidly. Whilst she does...

I wouldn’t blame him for the first (apart from not attempting to stop the ball going out in the first place), but he has to take a share of the blame for the second. He was indecisive and ended up in no man’s land, which he’s done previously. I agree imo the corner for the first goal came from his ...

I’d be very surprised if a meter didnt save you money provided there is only one or two of you in the house. Conversely we (family of four) moved into a house with a meter already installed. Didn’t properly consider the implications when we moved in. I am sure we could do better on saving water, bu...

Trafford 9 - we noticeably played longer from the back which took the pressure off him. Kept us on the game Vitinho 5 - tough opponents and struggled at times O'Shea 8 - a really good game and a couple of nice long passes. Another to benefit from mixing it up at the back and not solely going short B...

Trafford 7 some good saves and ok distribution. Think Fulham missed a trick going with short corners but credit where credit is due Vitinho 7 yeah he makes mistakes, but thought he did ok against a tough opponent. Effort cannot be faulted and some good moments Taylor 7 Thought he did pretty well Bey...

Not sure how Mala got on yesterday but I quite regularly upgrade one of our child season tickets to adult.

Trafford 4 - copied and pasted from another poster above because spot on: we want to play a particular style. We had a keeper who was adept at playing that style. We drop him for a lad who is a good shot stopper and can’t play the style. Looks nowhere near. Vitinho 6 - he has pleasantly surprised me...

I agree that the crowd has been remarkably patient in the circumstances.

Trafford - 5 slows everything down. On set pieces we are at least now trying things to protect him more but that we have to do that tells its own story Vitinho - 6 Pleasantly surprised how he’s done since coming in O'Shea - 6 OK Beyer - 6 We look a better team with him in but has a mistake in him Ta...

I’ve been to Arsenal a few times now and it I think it is one of the poorest grounds for getting the atmosphere going in the away end at the best of times. Something about the gentle angle and high roof just seems to make it feel disconnected.

RHansburyEsq

Trafford 4 some good shot stopping but you need much more than that at this level and the crucial second goal in particular demonstrates this. Muric can’t do any worse on crosses and his distribution is demonstrably vastly superior. Vitinho 7 I’ve been v critical but fair play a good game from him t...

RHansburyEsq

Trafford - 5 nothing he could do with the goals today but passing was meh as ever. Vitinho - 5 Got into some good positions and can’t fault his effort but he is very limited indeed. The fact he is in the team tells a story. Beyer - 5 We look much better with him in the side BUT what a shocker for th...

RHansburyEsq

Seems to me that saying he's not available for Arsenal may be the excuse required to leave him out tomorrow also. I think that’s likely and if so a bit of a blow. Rightly or not a lot of fans now want/expect Muric on Saturday and VK/the team need people on side as much as possible. I fear things co...

I can’t believe many will fork out £15! Entirely possible there will be just the 200 freebies in the ground the first game half that the next… As someone has said above, whilst I suppose they are making an effort they do need to get realistic. In the current circumstances some bits of overpriced syn...

RHansburyEsq

Shouldn’t be surprised but defensively terrible again I’m afraid.

RHansburyEsq

For what it is worth I think we have looked far better in possession than Brentford and Bournemouth, but it is all relative. Still some really very poor play, particularly at the back. We just do not have the players. The damage was done in the summer plus a certain amount of bad luck with injuries.

RHansburyEsq

Any system that leaves Cullen to defend a header against Tarks at the back post needs some work to say the least. Our defending of set pieces is appalling.

RHansburyEsq

Our defence is an accident waiting to happen and will continue to be with current available personnel. Music will also make mistakes as we know. However there is no doubt in my mind that Muric’s decisive passing has been far more effective in that first half at releasing the pressure when needed tha...

By the way, it’s absolutely ******* cretinous that people are calling for Kompany’s head after ten games at a higher level after the season we’ve just had. A blind man on a galloping horse can see the problems, do you really think he’s unaware of them himself? No one is happy with the situation but...

RHansburyEsq

That was a team with its confidence shot to pieces. Two of Brentford’s goals were stunners but don’t let that fool you. 3-0 flattered us. There is so much wrong with our defence, wider team selection, formation, tactics, on field leadership, commitment (I could go on). Can’t think of many more depre...

Looking at that draw I don't know a lot of teams who are non league or in the league.Also would I be right in saying the cup game between Accy and Scunthorpe is 30 years ago?

All it will do is frustrate drivers and let pedestrians think they can just cross the road wherever they feel like it. No, no it doesn’t. Loads of areas have 20mph.

I’ll reserve final judgement until seen it in the flesh but so far I think it’s alright and potentially pretty good. Quite like the single stripe look as a rule.
