Re: Summer Transfer Window 2025 | Official Thread

Cant say I'm impressed by our business today. I'll give Igor the benefit of doubt as I've had to watch Kilman for a year. Have to give him a chance. Fernandes a good addition, Magassa I'm hoping will adapt to the league quickly. Diouf is settling and showing his quality. I hope Summerville and Guilh...

Re: Niclas Füllkrug Subbed

Fullkrug just isnt a lone striker. He feeds off another striker making space for him. Totally isolated yesterday and his touch was off. He looked really sharp playing alongside Bowen in preseason but the Premier League is different level and he just isnt involved enough. He was waving the team up th...

Re: Nott'm Forest vs West Ham | PL | 31.08.25 | Prediction & Match Thread

It's no surprise that when you add a bit of pace that things happen. Great few minutes back for Summerville. Involved in all the goals. Defence much more settled with 4 at the back. Still lack someone directing them but bar a couple of free headers we managed the corners really well. Diouf is a real...

Re: Nott'm Forest vs West Ham | PL | 31.08.25 | Prediction & Match Thread

Well it's been a very defensive performance so far. We have defended better but are too slow or lack runners in transition. I understand playing on the counter if you are the away side but we just look devoid of ideas. Best move came from Lucas coming over to the left. He has been our best player by...

Re: Summer Transfer Window 2025 | Official Thread

Sullivan was always going to sell him as soon as we bought some cheap replacement. Its disappointing. I can see him doing well elsewhere. With so many players supposedly wanting out it tells you all you need to know about the manager and what they think of him and their team mates.

Re: Freddie Potts

I like what I've seen of him, I think he has to play matches. I look at how well Cullen is playing for Burnley and I think Potts is better at his age. He does need to be stronger and improve his anticipation. For a club outside the top spots there has to be a place for him to learn and progress. Jus...

Re: If Potter would get sacked who would you want IN to replace him?

Marco Silva would be my shout. Plays attractive football, is used to having to get a tune out of an average team. Not a chance Sullivan and him would get on. If not him then the Bournemouth manager Iraola as despite being a small fish they constantly perform well in games even if they don't win all ...

We have been here so many times where we should lose heavily but somehow scrape a result and then go back to losing again. You just can't predict but if you looked at the teams and their qualities, Chelsea should win easily. I think Chelsea will win but maybe not as big a scoreline as they should ha...

Re: Sunderland vs West Ham Utd | PL | 16.8.25 | Predictions & Match Thread

It didnt look any better seeing the highlights this morning. Potter doesnt seem to see that his system isnt working with these players. Or maybe he does but wants to force Sullivans hand to get him some midfielders.  Sometimes you just have to change your side to get results. I cant say that I saw a...

Absolutely spineless performance. Got nowhere near them.

Re: Sunderland vs West Ham Utd | PL | 16.8.25 | Predictions & Match Thread

Real lack of quick progressive passing. It's all slowing it down to keep the ball. Possession in your own half isnt winning a game. We are unable to press and it looks like we are playing 5 at the back the whole game. Wing backs totally ineffective so far.

Thought it was a good watch. Palace deserved their win in the end. I just like the way they set out to play and with players like Eze they have some magic in the midfield. Even Will Hughes when he came on looked really good. They pressed Liverpool, they were able to beat Liverpool's press and play b...

Re: Lille sold out?

So the moaning can carry on. The positive for me was that Potter did change something and we came back late to grab a draw. It wasn't a great display, the team looked overrun in midfield and unbalanced. Playing 3 centre backs is fine but you have to have them step out now and again to create an extr...

Re: Lille sold out?

Replays were no help at all on that goal but looked like someone wasn't holding the line to keep Giroud onside. Otherwise our cb's just left him criminally unmarked in the box.          Wan Bissaka lack of concentration. Defense pushed up to play offside and he carried on tracking his man back. Goo...

Re: West Ham Vs Everton | Friendly | 30.7.25 23:30 | Match Thread

I am still struggling to see what system and style we are trying to play. We have wing backs but don't use them, we play long hopeful balls or we attack with no forward options at times. Too much playing the ball across the back sloppily too. Make no mistake this was a turgid Everton side but we gif...

Re: Freddie Potts

Not seen that much of him but what I do see is a player who moves into space, has awareness and is happy to play the ball first time. Given more game time with some regular team mates I think he would give the ball away less and hopefully not convert to always look for the simple pass backwards. Squ...

He 100 per cent needs to be held to account for the mess he has made of the club since he came in. He will no doubt point to the European success we had.

Re: Tragic Diouf v Scarles

I think Scales will develop better not being under pressure of having to be consistent as young players rarely are. Diouf looked nervous and tentative last night but give him a chance to bed into the team, get used to the levels and what the manager wants.

Well we have been outplayed but Man Utd havent really done an awful lot either.
