"The players of both teams take the knee, a show of solidarity in the fight against racism" the commentator says, as the camera cuts away from the Brentford forward staying stood up.

I don't remember ever seeing Redmond exploit a high line by using his pace to sprint in behind.

Who the fuck is Dibling?

Broja in for Long, Armstrong in for Adams, Diallo in for Romeu.

Do you have one for wage budget? Soccernomics found years back that wage budget is a much more accurate indicator of where teams finish than transfer outgoings.

Nketiah seems more than capable of getting 10 goals a season which is our level. In fact, he has two less goals this season than Broja and one less than Adams with much less game time.

Same, but chances are he'll want wages of over £100k a week. Nketiah might be a realistic shout.

Usually there are leaks on those dodgy Chinese websites once the photoshoots are done, anyone know the link to check them out?

People need to remember pure stats at a lower level don't reflect a players true talent, especially a complete rookie player. So many factors involved, first time he hasn't played with his mates in the academy, first time playing against professionals who don't give up easily, first time being away from his friends/family for long periods of time, the list goes on. Having said that, I can't remember the last time we produced a player that wasn't in that short, low on strength, good dribbling ability type of player. We seem to love overstocking on the weedy little players that other clubs pass on in the hopes one of them turns out to be the new Messi.

Perfect timing for a Brentford backlash. I actually worry about us losing every game for the rest of the season.

Would anyone have Koeman back?

Allegedly it was the only ground available. Not a single ground any further south was available for use on that day. Mental.

Poor old Hounslow.

I've seen us play some absolutely superb football this season. Our problem isn't reaching high standards, it's doing so consistently.

True. But we shouldn't be keeping McCarthy under any circumstances.

Weird complaint, most teams goal of the season contenders are "just" long range shots or freekicks.

People still missing the point. Yes, we can do better...but if we're keeping one of them this summer we should be keeping Forster, not McCarthy. I'd rather we get rid of both but thats not what's happening.

How is Vokins performing on his loan at Ross County? He looked a good prospect in his few appearances for us, he could come back and be backup on the left for us.

He really is such a prick.

The plan has been to implement a strategy beyond Ralph leaving that builds on what he starts. It's what the RB clubs all do and it's why they have such sustained long term success.

Not every single player and manager has said they want to. Ralph has.

You may be right of course. I'd have no problem with him stepping into a director of football style role and hiring a manager who can properly get the players motivated and committed for the entire game, Adkins style.

I thought it was a very clever freekick to be honest. The whole world including the keeper was expecting it in the opposite top corner. The fact Romeu was stood where he was and ducked just as JWP hit it shows it was 100% intended to go where it did.

If you could afford to retire at 55, travel, enjoy life, spend time with family doing whatever you wanted to do and never worry about finances...wouldn't you?

Anyone think Nketiah or Origi could be good options for us on free transfers?
