SFC Forever

Stephens red card might turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Bednarek seems to be settling into the position

Agree with it being unfair for the lower leagues of our football. Trouble today is that money is the master more than ever before. I fully anticipate more clubs dropping out of the top levels of football because of the costs and the fact that they tried to keep up with the expenditure to stay at the top table. I hope we don't spend ridiculous amounts of money to get back up only to fail.

May be getting mentioned because he is better than any we have but like you can't see it happening.

I was thinking more of the top clubs spending up to and more than £100m on a player. The higher these prices rise the higher every other players prices rise. There has to be a way to stop these ridiculous prices escalating ever higher so quickly.

Easiest way is to strengthen the fair play pay levels for expenditure. Would help stop the spiralling costs as well.

I reckon he would at that. Him with Rodriguez in front what a difference to our team but no use wishihing they were still here eh!

Funny I thought it was a fair bit bigger. So maybe one less thing to fret over. Thanks WG

I would put Yoshida first as he plays for the shirt and doesn't just wear it as a fashion statement. Jan has done well for his first two games but the semi could be harder as the pitch is wider.

He thought we had safe standing all round the ground.

As an attacking wingback he is good but his defensive positioning is sometimes off. Perhaps he could do a Bale and become a left side midfield player. McQueen at LB.

He has been caught out of position a couple of times and ball watching in 6 yard box which nearly proved costly.

Another game where we fail to tackle our inferiority complex and fear of losing. We are in a must win position or get relegated. I would much rather we had a real go and lost than what we are getting week on week.

To take it even further. If he had picked the same 11 for each game that Grino had and he had lost them all would you be asking why there hadn't been a change in player personnel.

How the hell can you use our last four games against MH? He has the players left to him and from what I have seen the team has improved a good bit. We were unlucky against Chelsea and deserved much more. The Bournemouth game for me is his moment of truth and I firmly believe we will win against them.

Plus a decent referee would have sent Alonso off which could have helped.

If we had a player capable of a minimum 15 goals a season we wouldn't be in this mess. Say what you like but for me Bertrand is one of our best players just not captain material.The captain should be a player that gives 110% every game and shouts and cajoles the team to push them, and by his non stop efforts leads by example.

If Mark stays he may have demanded the right to pick who we want to buy. We do need a new scouting network as well.

Time to do some pre game demos

Mike Read didn't red card Alonso, failed to give any of the blatant penalties either. Could have been the difference between win and loss.

Oh Sh1T!!

Sheesh!! how much has Dean been paid o stop us

We should be a player to the good and only the ref for want of a better word has spoilt the half

Yep and he would know we want to keep him as our player.
