Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

True, but what about suspensions? It amounts to the same thing. We're without more players in the middle of an injury crisis.

Bednarek too. I had a sneaky feeling that he'd walk tonight. On a positive note I put £5 on Utd to score more goals in the second half at 9/1.

What did I tell you. Jankewitz. What a cunt.

I'm starting a book on who the next injury / suspension will be. We're bound to lose another player or two at OT tonight.

We do have a small squad and we do lack options in some areas, whereas other areas are well covered with average players. If only the likes of Redmond and Djenepo could do a job at full back we'd be ok, but it's a shame that we have to play JWP as a full back when his talents lay firmly in the middle.

So who gets dropped? Seems like his arrival will just provide a selection headache?

We need cover at the back, FFS. Out of interest, where do people see Minamino fitting in to the team?

We'll sell the Jewels in the summer. Ralph will move on and we'll be relegated. We'll become an average Championship side with most of our Academy players making up the bulk of the team.

I don't know why we don't play Long on the Right. He used to play in that position and his work rate is always superb. He'll track back when needed and is more than capable of getting forward and supplying the front two.

I don't think you know the difference between left and right.

Not sure how? Didn't he sign for WBA this afternoon?

Just heard that Maitland-Niles to WBA is a done deal? Don't get that at all? Saints, Leicester, Newcastle in for him and he picks WBA. Must be something to do with guaranteeing him first team football, or a Big Sam brown envelope?

You have to question why these matters are always left until deadline day? There's nothing like leaving it until the 11th hour to sign someone who wasn't your first or second choice. The whole thing smells of "Ok, well he'll have to do".

1-0! I admire your optimism. I can see this being at least 5 or 6. 😞

Exactly this. The season has gone to shit. Carry on like this and we'll struggle to finish above 15th. With teams like Burnley and Newcastle (even Sheff Utd & WBA) picking up points now, the gap we'd built up is being slowly eroded. Relegation form at the moment. Where the f*** are our next points going to come from?

You can blame the ref all you like. The fact is that we're fucking shite in the final 3rd and not much better at the back.

We're looking like we've been found out for what we really are... Average. Good job we accumulated some points early on as we seem to be in free fall at the moment. Based on this form we'll do well to finish above 15th. I honestly can't see where the next points are going to come from at the moment. We're getting nothing tonight. Utter shite. 😡

We'll probably end up with Yedlin from Newcastle. 😉

I get sending him out on loan to give him game time and experience. However, I don't understand the logic in sending a player away when there's a good few injuries and no cover at all for the LB position. I can only assume that they're very confident of landing someone as cover? I just read that Maitland-Niles could be on his way, with RB going the other way. Again, this seems odd as we'd have a relatively inexperienced LB starting, and again no real cover.

I bet you a cheese sandwich that we don't this weekend. 😕

Didn't expect anything tonight after beating them on Saturday. Just couldn't see us beating them twice in 4 days, particularly with KWP and RB missing. Thought we looked very poor tonight. Tired. Lack of any real creativity. Ings doesn't look himself. Adams needs to find his scoring shoes again. Not sure what Walcott gives us at the moment? We desperately need 2 or 3 players back to full fitness. Like others have said. It's hard to see where the next points are going to come from at the moment. 😕 A couple of players on loan would help, but i very much doubt that will happen. There's been a lot of youngsters chucked in at the deep end and they don't really look like the solution.

I bet he leaves for a CL club, gets injured, misses a whole season and ends up back at square one.

They do a range of Retro kits for Spurs. Hopefully we'll see some of the rare shirts available in retro form.

The squad lacks the depth that we require - We know that. I'd hope that we're looking to get a couple of players on loan for the second half of the season, just to cover injuries and suspensions. However, I'm not sure we will. If we're able to get 2 players in then one definitely needs to be a defender. Probably a LB. People keep calling for a consistent winger, but I'm not sure they exist. All wingers seem to drift in and out of games or have a blinding game every 1 in 4. I think we need something different up front. I'm surprised they've not stuck Long out on loan to a Championship club and looked for someone on loan to do a job for the remainder of the season. It's great to see the youngsters getting a start but we seem to have a bit of a gap, in that they don't look quite ready. Give it a couple of seasons and they'll probably be regular starters, but they've been thrown in at the deep end this season due to a lack of depth in the squad, which is why we just need a couple of more experienced loans to see us through.

Exactly. VAR the talking point once again. It's ruining the game. Football matches should not be decided in that way. Very harsh.
