Simon Jordan just mentioned on Talksport that we are up for sale. Given Jim White (Talksport) is friends with Dragan I wonder if there's some truth to that.

Whilst he tried and held it up on a few occasions, his lack of pace is a huge worry (seemed quite a bit slower than TP and that's saying something). Normally you would say it's just rustiness but he's had serious Achilles and hamstring injuries. That's bound to slow you down and I'm not sure it's recoverable.

Agreed. Bit concerned he'll go elsewhere though. Leeds have been mentioned on Wednesdays forum with Farke possibly being sacked. Then there's Leicester. Although I'm not convinced they have the finances to sack RvN then pay compo for Rohl.

I'd like a manager that prefers 4 at the back. I'm still leaning towards Rohl.

Second half was atrocious and Fulham deserved to win in the end.

I don't think there's much point. He looks a million miles from a Premier League player.

Archer hasn't been good at all but he's never looked as bad as Stewart just did.

I'd be surprised if he comes out for the second half. He's been terrible and understandably doesn't look fit. Could see him needing to drop down to League 1 or something when his contract runs out.

Could go similar to the Villa game although Fulham have nowhere near as much quality. 1-1 would do me..

Agree. He either signs a new deal (unlikely) or is sold in this window. We've let players contracts run down far too often recently.

If Bournemouth get into Europe and lose a lot of their best players then they will really struggle in the league next season I think.

Still and Rohl both fit the bill for what Spors is looking for. Whether that's what we need is another matter but I'd be surprised if neither of those were at the top of the list.

Not sure I'd look forward to playing them with this current crop, especially at Fratton. I'm sure we'll be ready when the time comes...

Azaz would be good and probably getable.

Maybe a bit worrying but it's fallen off a cliff since he was originally linked with us in January and he had that falling out with their chairman. Since then the players and staff aren't even sure they are going to get paid. Probably best to judge him on his time there overall, not just the last few months.

Yeah I see people are trying to make excuses but it was a shocking miss. Happens to the best though. Dibling does lack composure but I guess he's only young. KWP's was pretty bad too although he's not a forward so a bit more understandable.

I would say impossible given our record at Goodison but Nathan Jones managed to get a win there so anything could happen!

No but i do think it's important that we end the season with a few positive results. Having said that the last 3 games look like write offs to me. Would absolutely love it if we did manage to ruin the Goodison farewell party though.

For a change I agree with you! No way would we go back to Ralph and nor should we. He probably wouldn't even entertain the idea anyway. As much as he did an ok job overall he clearly lost the players by the time he was sacked (I know a lot of the team will be different now) but how about we look forward..

No one can have a bad word to say about KWP. As far as I've seen he's given 100% every time he's been on the pitch, even since he knew he wasn't going to renew (probably 2 years at least). He's a mid table premier league player and deserves to be playing in the top league. Didn't push for a move when we got relegated and helped get us back up. Best of luck to him.

Tbh given we were the away side I think we had the better chances and actually edged it.

The players seem to be behind Rusk, certainly more than Juric. Ok we lost 3-0 last week to a very good side but at least the team had a plan and today they seemed up for it. Sad but small gains and all that.

Manning is atrocious

Agreed. We always look so much worse with a midfielder up front. I wonder why...?

No idea why we didn't just give the gig to Rusk back in December. We'll never score many goals but we look a lot more organised.
