and what will that achieve?

Euros are a pretty strong currency not sure about the rouble

I can't forecast what you will weigh in 10 years time but I can predict that if you eat a lot of burgers and don't do any exercise you will weigh more than if you eat healthily and go to the gym

Well clearly he is not a clown he is managing a team which lacks goal scoring attacking players which has been apparent for the last two seasons Puel had the same problem last season but seems to be doing OK at Leicester. Puel did better last season with VVD playing well we had a better defence and Fraser was not such a liability. Now that McCarthy is fully fit he has been replaced and things are getting better

I really can understand how the tactics were disastrous if we actually won you could have said that if we had drawn or lost. Keeping a slender lead is quite common I would have thought but our players recently have not been able to do it surely this will give them confidence. It is not as though the attack is prolific and likely to score goals in the last twenty minutes or at anytime really despite having chances In the last two games no attacking player has scored and although it would be great if we had great attacking players who scored regularly but we don't so at the moment keeping it tight is probably a reasonably good tactic to win or draw games. But of course if we had players like Mane Lallana Lambert and Pelle playing I doubt we would be in the position we are now and I doubt it is not going to get better in the short term even with a new manager especially as we had problems last season under Puel

You might not like the tactics but they worked and we won However I would like to know why the manager did not bring on Lemina instead of Yoshi perhaps there was concern if Pied was playing at LB

I wonder in what minute Watford will equalise hope they don't but with missed chances penalties not given and top players injured that we have not had the rub of the green this season

Yes I agree we already have Boufal and Redmond running round and not doing much

Yes get good attacking players get good results praise the manager Get bad attacking players get bad results blame the manager. I just don't think it easy to buy in outstanding and consistent attacking players Over the last 25 years we have managed to acquire what two or three whilst we were in the PL. Every team in the World is looking for them and the better ones are unlikely to want to come here. I think you have to realise that we are a second tier club that is bound to struggle from time to time

So not many which was the point I was making getting really good ones is very difficult especially as they cost loads Not much from the Academy either McGoldrick Blackstock Best good Championship strikers If Austin was available most of the time I doubt we would be buying Guido now

When was the last time we signed a decent striker whilst we were in the PL

This does seem to be a rather stupid comment as for many years a really outstanding player MLT virtually singlehandedly kept us in the PL and no doubt if Kane played for us we would not be in the relegation zone. The main problem we have is not the manager although I am not a fan of MoPe the problem is that players like Boufal Redmond Long and Gabbadini cannot score or assist in other people scoring and this has been apparent since Mane and Pelle left How many Leauge goals have the four I mentioned scored this season

So you think it is easy to get a top attacking player who is subject to a relegation clause. I don't that it is why it is difficult to spend our VVD money we should have cashed in in the summer when we were in a decent position. Now I probably think we may have to slug it out with what we have attacking players who hardly ever score. Hopefully things will change but we havenot scored many for nearly a season and a half. The law of averages suggests we should start scoring soon but there is little evidence it is going to happen

Will youplease apologise to my dog who has been patiently waiting for a walk for nearly an hour

I think I saw him at the Dell in 1966 I think we went 1 up but lost 5 1 RIP jimmy

How do you know he knows more than Blackmore and what he says is true

On the other hand Blackmore probably knows more about the situation than you or SKD

You do seem to be talking a great deal of sense this morning With outstanding attacking players it is hardly surprising that we are struggling this season but we do seem to concede late in games and hardly ever score late ourselves

Foreign owners are the problem with the Club It was great when Markhus was here as he seem genuinely interested in the club but since his death it appeared that Katharina just wanted to sell and would not invest in the club and I do not blame her in anyway for what she has done. Now we have a Chinese owner who we know little about and why he has bought the club but there are no signs he wants to invest to make it better. Reed is only an employee and trying to do the best he can under financial constraints that have been imposed although he made a serious error in getting rid of Puel. So if there are protests I think they should be aimed at Foreign owners who in most cases have done little to help similar sized clubs to us apart from Leicester to compete with the big City Clubs

Great Analysis I thought we would not want to concede at anytime in any match But I know what you mean

I am with Mono Saint you seem delusional to me just stop whinging and support the club people like year are a disgrace as you have little idea of how SFC is run and its values

Yes very true never thought Walcott was that good a player just a lot of pace without the football nous Always thought OXO was the better player as I remember him scoring two goals in a match one a lob when we were in Div1 which I thought showed great skill and awareness

Could not agree more back six are pretty good The front four inconsistent and unable to score although last season we were creating chances but missing them this season not creating many chances but still missing chances created. It is no wonder MP keeps changing them . However finding goal scorers is not that easy look at Bentecke one goal all season but if we had scored an extra goal each month we could be in the top ten

Quite right most wanted him to stay and not go to Liverpool which I thought was a mistake but that and sacking Puel has helped in getting us in the position we are today. It is easy to identify players who would enhance our team but difficult to actually to get them to sign for a variety of reasons. Our recent signings have been reasonably good so I expect us to bring in two or three players shortly .

If I told you this bollix was drivel Reed and Kruegar have got the club to 6 7 8 in the League in recent seasons and to a Cup Final and the last few signings included Lemina Boufal and Gabbiadini would that make you feel better.
