Don't need to go on about the importance of this game, especially with 2 aways following

 

At £15 a ticket it would be nice to have a decent crowd and really get behind the lads

 

Can't score for shit but 2-1 whites

Problem is the "championship level" has moved on so far its on a different level to what we expected. This is proven by the likes of Brentford coming to our place a terrorising us.

 

We need to make a change at the helm now or consolidate take our medicine and rebuild.

 

Biggest worry is defensively we are abysmal. That's saying something that that's a bigger worry than our zero creativity

Even he can't win the headers and then be the one running onto them. For all his improvement the lad couldn't finish his tea.

There's more to being a target man than winning headers. He's numb as a piss stone.

I don't think that's true.

 

It hasn't surprised me, and I doubt it has surprised Ken or Parky.

Think Madine looks like our only championship standard player at the moment!

Agreed, but even as a big Madine supporter I'd say he's only an average championship player & none of the promotion chasing sides would be interested in him.

 

Saturday was a shock for me in that I thought that Brentford were a team that we could compete with, but I don't think that our players - under any manager - could match the football that they played in the 2nd half & we had no players who Brentford would want to sign !!

 

As said, we can only play with 1 upfront & fill the midfield......trying to match the way better.stronger & faster players play is suicidal.

Nah, Brentford were a class above us 2 seasons back. Its not a surprise to anyone.

 

Our midfield is mostly where our problems lie. Brentford showed that on Saturday. We basically have no midfield and teams simply waltz through unchecked. It makes the defence look far worse than it might with some protection. 

but brentford havent won all season and have sold many of their better players

 

theyre still better than us, though

but teams going through the middle hasn't been the case all season

 

Hull we gifted 3 goals by getting caught in possession

Middlesbrough,Derby and Leeds defender losing his marker for free headers

 

But you are right midfield is the problem but as we touched yesterday he signed 4 wingers himself

the best suggestion anybody has come up with for the player we need is playing for bury who are bottom of the league below

the player who has been out with ligament damage, so your point is invalid really

indeed it is

 

thats the sort of thing only a manc would know

 

but the fact that he ended up at bury isnt

 

the sort of player we need doesn't grow on trees

 

 

tbf, we did seem to be neglecting centre midfield in the summer, but i dont think anybody thought we couldnt stick something reasonable on the pitch from karacan, vela, cullen and pratley and derik

it was an example pal, not asking for the next viera

 

Free transfer wages wouldn't have been mega and a player who can break play up don't tell me all he could find was attacking midfielders

Has Burke played in midfield?

tbh, im surprised we didnt get him especially as hes crocked

 

and lets be honest, looking good against our midfield probably isnt difficult

 

look what bristol rovers did to us

 

if they had finished like brenford, that wouldve been 5

Has Burke played in midfield?

 

 

if it was up to me, he would be fcuking finding out about it quick sharp

 

but if hes going to dive in like he did on saturday, that wont work

 

 

i think burkes a good case in point about what confidence does

 

looked fine when we got him

 

he looked like bobby moore first 20 minutes on saturday, ended up looking more bobby ball

Has Burke played in midfield?

 

No, neither has his mate Cullen by the looks of it

Didn't we try Burke in midfield already?

Didn't we try Burke in midfield already?

I think so. Huge success judging by previous comments

I'd like to see Cullen play. Keep wondering why he's not involved every week. 

I see what you did there

the best suggestion anybody has come up with for the player we need is playing for bury who are bottom of the league below

2 options current free agents. Diagorouga -ex Leeds and Mulumbu -ex WBA. However I suspect we can't afford their wages despite them currently earning £0 per week. It would seem players have a certain pay expectations which if not met then they aren't going to bother

sad dayt, mate

 

i think you're spot on

 

spearing is obviously in no rush to take whatever is offered - be it by us or bury

I see Burke has "liked" a tweet responding to an LOV article about why him and Cullen should be sent back to West Ham. Happy camp.
