We've not played the BIG boys yet. Your point may be valid after we have, but for now it's moot.

Wow, didn't realise he was already at his 'peak'. I assumed he was 24 or something. Looking at the stats, it's not been a great move for him (well, maybe financially). One cup app in the last two and a third seasons - the tonking by Arsenal before we went to Swansea and capitulated.. (remember that, all you 'Puel was great' revisionists?)

Forster has made some pretty horrible errors, but the rest of the team isn't really giving him much to work with. It can't be easy knowing that a single mistake = a goal, and a goal = defeat (or at best a draw).

Strangely, in the family stand it was loud enough to generate a feedback loop over the pitchside interviews. The music itself was at a much more reasonable level though.

*yawn*

Urgh. Tadic and Redmond. So much for only playing one striker because of Austin’s injury.

An interesting podcast, thanks.

If it's an option, I'd much rather Tadic was 'let go' than Redmond.

Come January, back him or sack him. An attacking signing of the same quality of Lemina, please.

He's been there a week. Clearly he's had sod all impact on the way they are setup. But don't let logic and facts get in the way of your desire to get a boot in.

Alex McCarthy must be really, really, really bad if he can't dislodge Flappy Hands.

So very soft. Another goal down to having a poor keeper.

Don't hold back, tell us what you really think of it.

I wish him well and I hope the fans are able to stay awake during his interviews.

Very loud in family section. Can't imagine it's good for very young ears. Also, the music in the montage vs WBA wasn't as good as in previous games. The papa waigo dance bit is still great though

He was sent down to the basement to find Gardos.

I think that goal is what is possible when he doesn’t try to beat the same man over and over.

Not bad so far. WBA are so negative, it’s like an Uber Puel team. Shooting towards me in the second half so I hope we’re saving the goals for then. It mus be better, there wasn’t any booing at half time!

We only tend to look interested once we're a goal down, so clearly the manager needs to send the players out with that mindset. Stop playing for a draw and trying to 'control' a game until you are actually ahead and in control of the game.

Swap Redmond with Tadic and then Redmond with someone else, and you have a deal.

Matches since 'we need a reaction' started = matches since 'we need a reaction' + 1.

So very, very unenthusiastic about the game tomorrow. I can't see us scoring more than 1, unless we get a load of referee decisions ala West Ham of course. The latest video from the manager does little to alleviate the concerns that we're not looking like scoring. At some point he has to try something else because it's damn clear that the personnel we have are not able to step up and make the current approach work.. they've had enough chances.

God I hate our ‘fans’ sometimes.

Thought it was quite interesting and always nice to see the club get a bit more national exposure. Sorry if that's not negative enough for the thread. :/

You're not part of the first generation to say that and won't be the last. It's part of the aging process.
