Problem is that football coaches are very poor at coaching ..... We need 'sport coaches' who are from other sports and often much more aware of details than 'football people'

Fitness test him every week until he is match fit. Every week he doesn't make it fine him for not doing his job according to his contract. Play him at under 20 level for a few mins until he is match ready. VVD now needs to wise up and be professional. The management should continue with the tough love until he is ready physically and mentally to play in the first team again...

Yes but you have to take into account the teams we have played also....

Tadic is only effective on the left, always been the case. Weird that again he doesn't get played there..Concerned about Blacks influence...

How about keeping on subject, this is boring....

There is a lot of talk about individuals here.... I we missing the main point thought though...? Apart from Forster who is really not good enough the rest of the team, though not world beaters are suffering from poor coaching. The players are not supporting the man on the ball. In fact quite the opposite ....All we see is misplaced passes because there is no one to pass to.... It's nothing to do with tactics or formations it's to do with players making themselves available to be passed to. It's basics but the players are hiding and the coaches are letting them get away with it! This has been a common theme from the first friendly this season... Christ even Wolves B Team managed it! Lacking in basics is not acceptable, the buck stops at the Managers door on this one, average players or not!

We are not mugs, however we continue to select a goalkeeper who routinely lets in soft goals almost every week! Not mugs? Not so sure....

Two things have stood out player wise over the last year. FF is not good enough and Tadic should be nowhere near a penalty.....

Couldn't agree more. What on earth is going with using Tadic as our pen taker??? Is this Black in action again? He cannot take penalties - we all know that but Managment don't - How is that??????????

The quote was actually 'even Alex McCArthy is fit' ? Obviously not for long ! ?

This valuation made me laugh out loud and needed a laugh - thank you..,

Very injury prone

Seriously ..... Seems FF has a free ticket all the way to retirement....

The perfect repost ...... karma indeed ... Stuff you Liverpool and smoke that !

Oh the irony is beautiful isn't it.... In addition he was a very average player and diabolical for us...

Most premier players can't kick at all with their other foot. Takes bugger all to be a professional footballer these days...

Precisely. We actually shipped some goals that were VVD s fault. Like so many players they get much better when they are not playing... He really isn't as good as the hype!

Just stop driveline on and on comparing the man in the street's wages with a premiership player it is clearly totally no comparison and not a relevant analogy in any way. Just stop it.....

You cannot compare a 'Normal' persons job with a Premier League players wages so the analogy just isn't at all justified.

Loving this post..... How did such a self loving conceited footballer become our captain ??? Tough decision for the board but they must stick to their guns and sell for their valuation. Come January clubs will be queuing up to the Bargate to pay the full valuation. Meanwhile let him stew ... Double training at a the Veracity green every day should bring him down a peg or two!

Talk Spirt are losing thousands of listeners every week... People are sick of the insesent drivel based around the big six all day. It's boring.... As for the presenters - well the IQ test doesn't accommodate such an intelligence level...

We really really do

Did I at any stage mention 'glamour' ???? No! Half a dozen games is not enough snd two of those games were against virtual pub teams... We are a proffessional club and three or four games preparation is not enough. The evidence for this is there for all to see with multiple teams and formations right up to one game to play before the real thing.... Are the first eleven going to be prepared? No they are not... The pre season has been inadequate....

Yes and this highlights the huge massive indisputable issue which repeats every year! Our pre season lack of games and lack of decent opposition also... This happens every year and it's laughable now... Yet again we are not prepared.. wth!

How do you work that out??? Secret meetings don't own contracts - Saints do. We have the last word on who or if we sell to.
