  1. Incorrect. We signed a load of untested players for the prem that we then had to rely on as first choice. The likes of BBD should never have been anywhere near the first team. Obviously every squad needs a balance. I think we have some players already who could do a job in the prem but we will obviously have some players we are unsure about and there will be some gambles to see if they can hack it. The trick is to have a strong enough squad that if someone like Larin proves not to be good enough we have strong or stronger alternatives available that mean we aren't just relying on the one player. Our problem last time was pretty much only signing squad options in most positions (Ramsdale and Fernandes excepted.)
  2. Maybe so. \The difference if we get there should hopefully be that for 4 million pounds he is a squad option rather than someone we would hope to rely on too much.
  3. He scored a grand total of four goals for Newcastle. Plenty of people never wanted us to sign him and not because of his age. They thought he was a donkey.
  4. Yep. I know he won't do it but personally I'd go: Peretz Jellert Wood Quarshie Wellington Fellows Romeu Charles Edozie Jay Robinson Archer Then start playoffs with: Peretz Bree THB Stephens Manning Matsuki Downes Jander Scienza Azaz Larin Which gives all except Peretz a rest.
  5. People scoffed at Chris Wood a few years back when we were in the Prem and he has been an excellent servant in the top league. No reason that Larin couldn't be similar. Didn't think I'd be saying that when he signed but he's been excellent.
  6. We've seen some really good stepping up from players when others have been away. Time for Fellows to have a great game.
  7. Hopefully Stephens will be fit for the playoffs
  8. Indeed. You could argue that the point against West brom and comeback win against Leicester are what has allowed us to be so high up the table given how poor we were in both.
  9. I'll do the beach boy quotes, get Pilchards up the tree at the training ground and you can check earlobes and the whereabouts of Paul Allen's yacht.
  10. All you really need to do is not lose to West Brom. If you lose that then the pressure is really on you. Draw or win tomorrow and you really should have enough even if you lose to us.
  11. Why do people have to be so abusive and so disgusting about her weight? No one ever said similar about Markus. She's not done anything to warrant the reactions from some on social media. Hopefully her or the people connected to her never read things like that.
  12. Maybe 3 million is better than a poke in the eye.
  13. I agree. I don't think he's going to go anywhere because he hasn't gone already and there isn't anyone of any substance to replace him. This will go on inexorably until we get close to the next election and they start to get nervous. Maybe Burnham will finally get a seat? Absolutely no one wants Rayner.
  14. Pretty sure they won't see it that way! They won't want to be leaving it to the last day as anything could happen.
  15. What if Ipswich lose to West brom and draw with us?
  16. Blame will still.
  17. If we win all our games and Millwall finish above us then you have to hold your hands up and say well played
  18. I think if Ipswich win today then it's very difficult to finish above them.
  19. Indeed it was although we didn't have long nearer the top of the division than the bottom.
  20. Nah it was symptomatic of our possession for possessions sake and it stunk the place out. So glad our football now isn't about a fixed style but about doing what is necessary to win.
  21. It was bloody immense under Koeman when we were in Europe and had the best defence in the league.
  22. I heard that Tonda has a live feed of the match thread on a TV in the dressing room at half time. The composed posting is largely responsible for the victory.
