  1. Yup blaming it on the squad is bullshit ,, Bournemouth have a much worse squad then arsenal didn’t stop them getting a result . Yet we can’t even hold a lead vs anyone. Last couple of games we’ have had the lead which usually should make it much harder to score for the other team but it’s not in our make up under russ to be able to defend a lead
  2. Not sure how you can say Aribo should be nowhere near the team ? He was fantastic on Saturday and easily one of our best players.. I was hugely impressed by him he just makes time for himself on the ball. He deserves to start and looks more premiership quality then downes tbh
  3. Today has flagged Another characteristic under Russ that we simply cannot handle momentum shifts,as soon as Leicester got their first goal we all knew it was coming ..ironically russ coined the term “ scar tissue “ but it’s become even more of a trait under him. I think you have to be bordering on insane if you think he can turn it around now
  4. Disappointed it is then .. thought this might happen even though archer got the goal onuachu made himself a lot more involved .. bad decision imo
  5. I’ll be very very disappointed if onuachu isn’t starting today. He looks to have the lot .surely he’s even a better option for the passing game anyway as he simply holds the ball better .. surely a no brainer for him to play
  6. But as said a lot of this with hindsight . Also don’t really think davis is better then Fernandes or dibling even though it’s early days . I think the main differance is we ended up having 3-4 realky top players in that side .. I think we would have been better off taking ths approach in the transfer window too , spend more money on 3-4 really quality signings instead of buying a load of cheapish signings who are not really that much better then we already had
  7. I’m not quite buying this argument that our squad is so poor no manager would do well .. our promotion team under adkins had a ton of players that came up from league one with us .. yes in hindsight there was 3 or 4 with quality lallana lambert schneiderlin etc but they wasn’t proven at the time .. arguably this team isn’t a whole lot worse barring having a quality cf in lambert .. we still had the likes of fox and hooiveld. then you had the pissooor teams mlt managed to keep up.blaming it on the squad is a bit of a cop out a good manager would find a way to make us hard to beat
  8. No disrespect intended but it being a high fee for the championship is the wrong way of looking at it .. his value is his value .. just because we where a championship club when we bought him does not entitle us to some discount where we get another championship clubs top striker for 4 million or something .. look at the fees we paid for adams and Armstrong and that was years ago
  9. Yeah I’m not saying it was a good idea, but the club probably saw the chance to sign a top championship player for half his previous value and took the gamble. it was more because his contract was soon to expire and he wasn’t signing that allowed us to get him for this price .which is why I say we got him for cheap . It obviously has worked out terribly but the club saw value
  10. Put it this way Stewart’s last season at Sunderland in the championship he had nearly a goal a game and was Sunderland’s star man and regarded one of the best strikers in the championship .. you don’t get that for 8 million without the contract situation or the injury . Look what we paid for the likes of adams and Armstrong ! At one point you would have been looking at 20 million so I disagree he was on the cheap .. 8 million does not land you a top championship striker
  11. Feel proper sorry for Ross just seems to be one thing after the other, he looked gutted when he went off. Sunderland fans thought he was prem quality and we did get him on the cheap so you can see why we took the gamble at this stage it’s just a bonus if we get him fit again though
  12. Well Paul got pretty much no game time to score in England .. Alcaraz lost in the championship in exaggerating too Martin just preferred stuey, Alcaraz was actually premier league proven and a exciting young talent .. as for ABK not wanting to be here last year we was in the championship . Maybe he didn’t wanna be here then fair enough
  13. Actually angers me that we could have lost Alcaraz ABK and talll paul if Martin had his way proper centre forward performance by onuachu today and he has a bit of skill along with the physique .. really should be starting now his knock downs and lay offs are very effective
  14. Is it just me ? But onuachu looks exactly what we have been missing? Ball kinda sticks with him .. and shown a nice few touches .. makes you wonder why he’s been out of the picture so much
  15. Don’t see the hype in potter either ., Swansea was no better then Rm..did well at Brighton but so has everyone and Chelsea he had their lowest points total .. My first choice would be throw everything at getting Brendan .. absolutely quality manager who’s done great pretty much everywhere much more proven then hipster crap like potter and yes he probably would leave Celtic for us If we threw enough money at him same like the Celtic players leave for the premiership .. after him moyes also super proven these two are exactly the types we should be looking at
  16. Problem is with this silly multi club set up us doing poorly isn’t the end of the world for SR, we are not the be all and end all and dragan has obviously bought into this .. as for Martin no way is this gonna work, I think he slightly underachieved last season on league form considering it was mainly a premiership squad with a few premiership loans like Fraser downes thb brookes etc we looked shaky last year pretty often and now we are no longer superior to the opposition Martin has no answer .. probably thinks he’s gonna do a kompany playing his ineffective passing game needs to go asap
  17. Agree think this 4231 formtion will suit us well too .cornet up top exciting. my confidence for this game is rising
  18. Totally this .. I don’t have any faith in him turning it around to be honest .: he’s totally married to this philosophy. Being poor at both ends is a big issue I’d personally rather we got someone like Rodger’s or moyes .. last thing we need is another out of his depth championship manager
  19. I mean at one point we where signing Italian internationals like Osvaldo gabbiadini and pelle . How well they worked out is one thing but it looked a hell of a lot more ambitious then the championship kinda strikers we go for now
  20. The problem is most of our signings are gambles bar the likes of Ramsdale.. I’d rather we went for it on someone who actually looks quality rather then keep taking punts .. how many strikers have not worked out now ? Better to go all out for one that can cut it rather then five that don’t
  21. Looks better up top to me simply because this team is filled with creative players. With both Fernandes and lallana in mf and dibling and Fraser wide at least you can see where the creativity is coming from. Unlike our earlier selections with bbd outside and barely any creativity whatsoever
  22. Still think it’s super naive of us to give him prem games without tying him down longer . we where in a power position hey Tyler if you wanna start sign the contract , that would kinda force his hand .. but now the car is out the bag and Im not so sure we get him signed to a new deal
  23. After being our most important player last year with 37 or whatever goal contributions I’m willing to give him a clean slate in the prem . At least with him his success has come under the manager.. differant styles of football can make a big differance, which could be why your boy BBD isn’t doing what he did at Sheffield utd ..
  24. We really need to get him signed to a nice long contract I’d be tempted to tell him sign the contract if you wanna start.. otherwise we will simply be putting him in the shop window with 1-2 years left on his deal after this season and that weakens our hand
