well yeah true but nobody else has scored 3 in 4 games so while he’s finally found form and confidence keep him in.

Not sure why everyone wants to drop Long for Ings. RH said a couple of weeks ago they could play together, well here’s a good chance to test that out.

must be 4-3-3.......mustn’t it ?

Yeah I agree, its not really his fault as he has been shoe horned into different positions of late. Having said that the option to revert to type has always been there with JWP, hopefully Ralph has more about him than to let that happen again.

Looks like the Hammers statement is simply repeating Southampton’s objection. Well done to the Premier League actually considering supporters for a change.

Sorry but he’s always been average. Some on here tried to build him up as something special for a while but his weaknesses have always outnumbered his strengths, ie heading, marking, reading the game as obvious weaknesses whilst looking comfortable on the ball in the midfield area is the biggest strength I can think of. If not considering him good enough equates to being a boo boy then guilty as charged.

As you say. I always thought the women’s Cup Final was the May Bank Holiday Monday. What moron decided to schedule it against Premier League matches ?

well they can have him back then

thanks very much for this

They have been total dross

To be honest I would rather see what this Alfie Jones is like if we find ourselves this short again. He can’t be any worse surely

Compared to some if what we’ve got he is BUT this highlights we need at least two centre backs bought in for next season.

why ? Oh oh yeah it winds up the cherry pip fans doesn’t it !

define professional

Stephens off - that’s gotta be the end for this guy surely?

This is the second match in a row JWP has been shoe horned into the side. To be fair losing Valery to illness and Vestergaard weren’t ideal.

Didnt RH say McCarthy had a small injury problem during the week ?

Lawrie lives in Romsey

Sunderland home to the blue few on 27 April. That will sort things out.

If Brighton lose at home to Cardiff they deserve to go. I mean who the hell loses at home to Cardi........oh

Brighton kind of slipped under the radar for me. I was looking at Burnley’s remaining fixtures after the Cardiff game as I’m not sure they will get anymore points. But for Burnley before Saturday now read Brighton before Tuesday. Fail to beat Cardiff and they might beat Newcastle but I can’t see them get anything against the other three.

That “big lump” as you so eloquently put it had a great game against Wolves and has been pretty impressive since his error away to Cardiff last December.

Good to see Sims get a start but if that happens again I hope Romeu gets the start as JWP is not suited to that role next to PEH. I can see why Ralph went with JWP after his recent goals etc but he was bloody awful until Romeu came on and he moved into a more attacking role.

oh well that’s it then, doomed

So they are as good as safe, another team not fully focused when we play them.....hopefully
