We can only hope it's a number 2 that comes good and displaces the number 1 - Like Sanchez at Brighton replacing Ryan or similar. Harry Lewis is out of contract too so a third, experienced GK would be good - like Caballero. Someone who, like Boruc, could potentially save our season when McCarthy inevitably has his shit spell.

Terrible news for Tino. The only small silver lining to the cloud is we still have KWP and Valery for this position this season and it could have happened to a player more key to us, but still, terrible news.

You have to think he's on the list of some big boys shopping lists. He's now almost a regular pick for England, scores goals and is a set piece expert, versatile and fit as a butcher's dog and reliable, and entering his peak. I still think what we would want for him and what other teams would be prepared to pay may stump clubs but someone like Newcastle may want a marquee signing whilst weakening a rival. I want him to stay and the fact he signed a long term contract keeping him until he's nearly 32 shows he's happy here but I wonder if his head could be turned. Yes it would fund a squad overhaul, I reckon we'd get 60/70 million for him if someone wanted him enough, but I can't see anyone going that high. Our other jewels are KWP and probably Salisu based on his earlier season form, we need to be keeping them though and hope that the new owners can open the purse strings a bit.

Rearrange these words... different same day shit.

@Dalek2003 Good enough for 17th+. Seriously? Lower mid table is about right. We are a whole attack and probably a GK and top CB away from European places.

They're on the beach after being as good as safe, which seems to be our aim these days. Maybe a contract change that states if anyone performs less than a 6 out of 10 they pay their week's salary back. Or something. Meh I'm on the red wine.

Back to basics. Forster Tino Bednarek Salisu KWP Armstrong JWP Romeu Redmond Armstrong Adams. Harsh on Perraud but that's what I'd like to see. No more Valery who yesterday managed a 40 yard run to nowhere, at least two air kicks and was beaten to headers for most of the night. I've not seen much of Lyanco before and his passing seems OK but I wasn't thoroughly convinced - I'd like to see more of him but Bednarek and Salisu is our strongest CB pairing right now as Stephens seems completely out of favour. Brighton, Palace, Brenford and Leicester left - all teams we are fighting for places/top half/money with (and who could be as equally on the beach as we seem to be), and Liverpool who will probably smash us in their quest for world domination.

It's results like this, with players like these, that make me worried about next season. Newcastle, Leeds, Everton if they stay up, all those will be better. We have a very important summer ahead and we need first choice additions, not squad players. Shambles.

Eastenders is OK. Let me know when I should put the footie back on. 🤪

I like Ralph and he's moved us on from the days of Puel, Pellegrino and Hughes but I think we need a change in the summer. Fresh eyes, someone that can really motivate and organise. No half time changes after that first half shambles is crazy.

It's a good job we're not in a relegation battle as if this was a six pointer we'd be screwed. At least two subs at half time please Ralph, Valery is not a Premier League player.

Game over. Already. Against fucking Burnley. Well if it helps them beat Everton to safety...

Half time subs needed. Adams on for Valery, Redmond or Tella for Broja.

Get the next goal and you never know... That said it currently looks more like they'll get a second. Another Fraser save.

Burnley are an awful team to go behind against. Very disciplined. But then again our crudness isn't helping things.

A non JWP corner. That looked like a planned routine. Oh Oriel again! Could have been two for him now...

Give FF a new contract now! 😃 Shit though we have been... Still only one behind...

Another great save from Fraser. Burnley should be 3 pr 4 up here...

Need to string some passes together here.

Burnley are all over us now. Defence is shit. Thank fuck again for Forster.

This'll be a fairly dull draw. There I said it, ridicule me after the game. Would be nice to see Broja score. Hoping for some Perraud excitement, I like him. I still get a squeaky bum when I see Valery on the team sheet even though he's hardly let us down so far!

Hell no. 9th to 16th is anyones in this league this season and with, what, 2 million quid per place on offer that’s 14 million squid extra if we can string some late results together and finish 9th not to mention the extra cachet we’d have on players seeing us in the top half. 39 points is ok for now but I’m still hoping for 48-50 if we have turned our poor form around. Burnley can still do it even if we beat them tomorrow but sadly I don’t think Everton will go down now, Burnley will.
