Yeah I'd like to see Smallbone in the team, maybe Jankewitz too? I would freshen up our very plain and dull midfield.

It would be nice to finish on a decent note though, with a bit of optimism! Especially at home, if we end the season at home like this then getting fans back is going to be impossible. Don't expect too much business in the summer from anyone, especially us - probably a few loans here and there, maybe that freebie RB from WHU? (I'd be quite happy with him if we have a chance) Our budget will be solely dictated on what we can sell PEH for, which will probably not be a great deal. I'd like to believe we're about to rebuild the side, but there's no evidence of that as we don't have an owner who will enable the finances to do that, and the current climate won't help either.

I'd have Clyne back, but anyone would do to replace the dreadful Valery. Jermaine Wright anyone?

That was a typical PEH home performance and is why many won't be too fussed to see him go.

Also I'd say that was a typical Hojbjerg performance too, and that's why not too many are bothered to see him go. Sideways, backwards, putting team mates into shit positions with under hit passes. He shouts and waves his hands a lot though. He's been a prime issue with our dreadful home form over the last 3 years.

To be honest, the previous two have been pretty diabolical as well. Certainly not worth the upwards of 1.5k I've shelled out!

Same old non-event at home really. If it carries on like this the stadium will look like that even after restrictions are lifted! Really fed up with Valery still in the team, the bloke is out of his depth and shouldn't be anywhere near. Don't want to jump on the McCarthy bandwagon as he's been pretty solid for us throughout the season, there are bigger issues through this side apart from him. Our home form is ridiculous though, they should pay us to return once it's all back to normal.

Good point - no idea what happened with their EFL trouble, but I remember the breached FFP didn't they. Villa are another example that spending millions and millions and millions doesn't get you far. They spent as much as Fulham did last year!

You have to wonder what will happen to Bournemouth after relegation? They have spent a fortune on players that has only been sustainable due to PL income. They've got guys like Solanke, Ibe - around £40m spent on those two, they can't even get in the side....how will they able to shift them?? Then you've got lower league football next year with reduced capacity and no PL income....they could be ruined. The buckets will be rattling again soon...

Their fans are having a meltdown at the moment! Giving Luiz a 1 year contract is nothing short of insanity. Giving Cedric a 4 year contract is also crazy, it shows they have no real long-term view on anything? Cedric on maybe 2 year max was acceptable, but 4 years...? He's thanking his lucky stars I'm sure! They are really regressing. Once they lose Ozil and Aubameyang, they've got nothing.

I dunno, looking at their fixtures, they have a chance... Burnley home, Norwich Away, Watford home, Villa home. They'll be struggling though, huge pressure on those key games. Bournemouth though.....I think they're finished. Bournemouth, Villa, Norwich for me.

Absolute desperation from a club who have no idea!

That goal was so perfect for this game! Really poor quality on show. West Ham have had 'chances', but they just seem to lack any real shape or pattern to their play. Think they're in real, real trouble this time. They don't seem to have anyone who can score goals.

Burnley might as well not have turned up. This league is full of so much utter trash.

I don't want it yet, it would be a disaster. We need to sort out our ownership first so that we have some money behind us. The money you get from the Europa League is miniscule, so for clubs like us it just hinders you in the league unless you have some real investment behind you. I think you knew all too well what I meant to be honest, but you're just being your usual pedantic self.

They don't have the squad capable of doing a great deal at the moment. Bunch of weak kids, poor losers and distracted players looking for their next big move. I think any manager would struggle at that joint, so much work is needed. It certainly wouldn't be embarrassing should we lose to them though. They're still on a different level to us, so any result will be a positive to me.

Wouldn't want us to. We're not anywhere near ready for that and don't have the money available to build the squad enough, so it would be a hugely damaging distraction next season. Top half would be as good as it gets for me, will probably just be short of that though.

We don't need any of Spurs cast offs thanks. Cash, or do one.

Nah, he needs to move on. Will be the source of some of our funds in the summer hopefully.

That was an enjoyable return! I wasn't really surprised by the first 10 mins, we just needed to feel our way into it - but the reality is that a better side would have done us there, so we need to start quicker. It's been a bit of a handicap of our season. After 10-15 mins though we pretty much got to grips with it, took control of the game and that was it. We didn't threaten much in the first half, but as long as we kept control of the game (which we had) and showed a bit more intent in the final third then we'd be sorted. We showed that intent in the 2nd half, slightly aided by the fact Norwich shrunk after the first goal. Overall an enjoyable return and any 'slight' nerves are now put to bed after just the first game back. Pressure is off now, so let's see how we do in the remaining.

Don't think that was ever announced, but maybe he is the 'mystery' name!

It can only really be a DNS problem - within 24 hrs this should be resolved for all I'd have thought. I use OpenDNS for my DNS and this site came live at around midday for me. Whereas via my work connection, it's still on the old server. Just depends what DNS is using! One of those things.

Norwich captain Grant Hanley is out of this one.

Yeah, weird article. Mane never played under Poch.

I'm asking questions - where was the PPE for these front line folk at the start? Without the controls put in place this would have been unmanageable, you cannot say it's an overreaction. This will be a struggle for a long time, no one is denying that, but it was either financial hardship or losing lots and lots of loved ones. I think I know what I'd have chosen out of those two. We'll get back to normal when it's safe to do so. Don't compare this to 'normal numbers of deaths' - because it isn't, it's been a huge spike and it would have been an even bigger spike had it not been for the interventions.
