Forest are much better than I for one thought. We are not playing badly exactly. But they are just closing us down a lot and getting forward fast and pressing hard. But equally I think they do look a bit vulnerable if we can get behind them. But as we all know if is a very big word. |

McCarthy IS TOTALLY UTTERLY COMPLETELY USE-EFFING-LESS
If that total f*ck up doesn’t convince the management that he is not good enough then we are doomed. |

Am I the only person who thinks that Scotland were utter rubbish for all their games- and I’m a Scot !
And as for our wonderful strike? Well the entire team only had three shots on target in three games. And LBH, Che showed himself to be exactly what most of us have thought for a while, ie he’s no better than an average championship player at best.
Now Broja on the other hand in tonight’s Spain Albania clash was real class!
We must try and get him back if we can… |

PatfromPoole I entirely agree with you except the bit about older players.
The fact is that because we have a decent solvent -viz Everton! - owner, we seem to be linked with every Tom Dick or Harry whose contract is coming to an end or is available on a free.
I really don’t think our transfer boys are so nutty as to be thinking about getting a Dads Army full of past-their-best- but-experienced (what ever that is worth) players just because they are around.
So given that the Rasmus Ankersen black box seems to have worked to a degree - I admit I am saying that through clenched teeth - so every Ryan Fraser is worth a Sulemana, I reckon by and large younger players with potential who will fit into the system are where will be looking. And forget all the Fontes, Ings, Lallanas, even JWPs (sadly). Too old. [Post edited 10 Jun 9:02]

Nice article but boll*cks I’m afraid (IMHO)
It’s not a question of what RM has achieved with the squad but what he HASNT!I
My definition of a good manager is one who can take B and C players and turn them into an A team.
RM unquestionably has not done that. In fact I would argue that he has taken a number of A/B players - eg Brooks, Charles, Fraser, Rothwell - and turned them into B/C players because of his addiction to a dead end system.
He’s cr*p and the sooner the owners realise this the better.
And I’m afraid that, if you really think that “it maybe wise to give a manager a bit more time than just one season after finishing 4th”, I can promise you that mid-table mediocrity is all you will end up with.
Maybe that is what you are happy with. I for one am not. I want to support a club with AMBITION, something which i think does not chime with us finishing (a pretty lukewarm) 4th. |

…was that the head of SR, Dragan Solak, was there to witness it.
And if he has only the minutest amount of knowledge of English football, surely he must have seen how utterly terrible we were, with all our pointless tippy-effing tappy?
Of could it just possibly be that the players were doing it on purpose so that they could show him what a cr*p team they’ve been turned into by you-know-who…? [Post edited 28 Apr 7:53]

Whilst I agree in principle with the comments against this idea, I think we should also bear in mind that the likes of us and other clubs going for promotion, reducing the potential number of games they have to play must be a good idea mustn’t it? |

I do find some of these comments puzzling! Adam is our best striker this season, period. Yes he misses some sitters, but so do some of the best. I seem to recall a certain mr Haraland have a blank run if a few games too; according to a March post in Goal.com he had”six goalless games in eight matches”
For goodness sake get real people! |

We are currently 3rd equal (on 73) with Ipswich for yellow cards so far this season, headed only by Stoke (74) and PNE (75). The best is - and I cannot quite believe this - Leeds!!! On 43.
Staying fit for the remainder of the season is imperative; but having a few players on the sidelines for other reasons won’t help.
And individually :Jan B 8, Ryan M 8, Shea Charles 5 + 1 Red, Flynn D 7, Will S 7 , have the most. |

Reply | Mara over Adams?
at 07:49 11 Feb 2024
I cannot quite believe i am saying this but I put it down to RM because the way I see it BOTH players have improved:
Che seems now to be under much less pressure to score goals - although I am sure he still wants to - but is there now much more to draw the oppo, give them the run around, get them knackered and lay off to others as he did brilliantly to Mara on Tuesday. Whereas Sekou has got much more speed, and yes he still cocks it up - as he did against Rotherham several times before he scored - but is increasingly becoming more tactically and positionally aware as he showed yesterday with his late goal.
So hats off to RM for IMHO making them both better and mercifully, as others have said, bigging them up (justifiably) and making them much less likely to look to move. |

“It has now been suggested by outspoken Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony that Southampton manager Martin, could be an option for Liverpool.”
What an utterly ludicrous suggestion. Doesn’t it occur to mr MacDoughnut that a modicum of European experience is the very least they will require?!

Leeds I reckon have 3 home and one away game vs the current top 8 in the league
Whereas we have two home and 4 away.
If our away form holds up, the last game will be a celebration… |
