Whitey Grandad

Billy Sharp scores for Sheffield United.

Tella scores twice to put Burnley through.

We bought for the future. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we actually had one.

From now on we shall be.... Loon Army !

Something about a soft centre if I remember corectly.

oops - fit fangers

Yes - she often mentions you.

Just a mention that the Grimsby v Luton FA Cup replay takes place tonight at 19:45. I can't see any TV coverage of it. Do we care who wins?

I would prefer Big Willy

We're in the wrong league for that task.

Tuck

Well said. It was never going to work bringing in a manager who was inexperienced at this level. Once they did that the inevitable consequence would be one or more successive relegations until most of the current players have been replaced by ones who fit with Jones’s playing style and then we end up in Luton’s situation.

9. Stadium expansion

If he’s still here at the end of the season I dread to think what the season ticket renewals will be like.

No, no. Not in the world. Only in Europe.

I’ve just come back from a couple of weeks away and I was trying to catch up on this thread yesterday. The number of pages was increasing faster than I could read them.

I think it depends on how we start the game but the slightest setback and things could get very ugly very quickly. If he chooses the wrong players it could all kick off before the kickoff.

Sheep

Bringing back Bednarek was another clincher for me. It was an insult to our existing defenders and to throw him straight into the starting lineup when he is hardly played a game all season and is clearly not match fit shows delusion.

Repeating the same quotation over and over again?

The put one grand on it and you’ll soon have ten grand 🥴

I must have missed that bit. And if you think that "being robbed" involves letting in three goals I have some news for you.

I object! As a former referee I can confirm that they are way below our level.

And of course you would have saved every one of these shots when you were a goalkeeper. As a former goalkeeper it is only natural that you will concentrate on this one but you dismiss the feeble defending that takes place in front of him. It would not have made a blind bit of difference where he was stood for that goal because the other side had players running right up to our goal box and they could have taken their pick of any part of the goal to score. Your argument seems to be that if only he were standing in the right position then he could save more shots yet what you fail to take into consideration is that these shots don't just come at him at random. These pesky opposition players have a nasty habit of putting their shots where he is not standing. Something that doesn't seem to apply to our own forwards though. Taken in isolation saying that a goalkeeper had no saves to make would indicate a good defensive performance. If you are being honest with yourself you will admit that he had no chance with any of those three goals. What I hate to see are these 'fake views' that you go out of your way to post. You are being disingenuous. I have not seen one unbiased comment to the effect that he was at fault with the three goals on Saturday. He is not a great goalkeeper, we can all see that, but to blame him for all our problems is blinkered in the extreme. Look at the team defensive performance instead.

Nah, not aggressive enough.
