Reply | Calm post match offy interview

Gents regardless of the interview with Calm post match, everything you needed to know about James Dunne was NOT said by Tyler and Sints as the teams were read out on the Offy comms at the start of the game.
Who do they think they are kidding but that is the way of the world now. They have to line up some positive news to counter Jimmy’s departure.
Some Chelsea reject forward signed to counter the negativity on Monday evening.

And obviously the comms team no mention of the change in right back - focused on Cook returning - can’t blame them they have to toe the party line.
Anyone else looking for a conspiracy theory that Marti is also not at the ground due to illness!!!
And we are off to a great start.
Fcuuk sake! |

And to rub salt in to the wound, it is “Jimmy” Day today at the Wall.
Albeit a related charity for a young lad who passed by the sound of the comms |

I just came on here to make sure someone had posted the Chris Stapleton Instagram version of Koki's goal. Think I must have the sniffles coming on as my eyes are leaking!
Not sure I can take all this positivity all in one week! |

Reply | If a miracle happened and we went up via the playoffs
at 16:38 20 Jan 2025
Have not had the time to read all 5 pages of responses but here is my take.
If I was Nourry and the owners in this current window, there should be no talk of "going for it" or "backing the manager" - we stick to a strategy that we are looking at stability and ensuring there is no realistic fear of relegation for this season. They stuck with Marti for the first half of the season and he now appears to have pulled us out of a nose dive as we recovered from a period of key player injuries and adapting and integrating new and younger players and thus far it seems to be now heading in the right direction.
Last Saturday, I think of the 11 of the clubs above us, only 3 actually won their game, some lost and others drew - hence we are still close to the top 6.
If by some miracle that gap kept closing and we continue with this "rich vein of form" and ended up finishing in the playoffs - then what an achievement.
The next bit is the hard bit. If we won the playoffs, then great - Premier League for one season - everyone remembers who the feck QPR is and then likely we spend the year getting spanked by the big boys like Southampton and Ipswich.
However, unlike last time, the board HAVE to accept that relegation is highly likely and that will not be directly the fault of Marti and his team. Therefore, the Board, the club, and importantly the "fan" base accept it for what it is, get behind Marti and the boys.
We don't spunk all the money "to try and stay up" enjoy our season in the Prem as much as we can and pocket the Sky money and use it sensibly to continue for PSR/FFP recovery and and financial stability. The downside is the constant battering every week in the Premier league may mentally hang over in to the following year and we become like Luton.
So if it were to happen then hey-ho, but I would rather we finish 8-10th this year, pat Marti and the team on the back and say "onwards and upwards" after a season that we hoped for actually did transpire after a horrid start. |

I usually watch the warm up from the bottom row of SAR before going up to my seat up the back and didn’t bother yesterday mate - as you say was absolutely rotten. Thank God for the performance and result at least. |

Mate, BBC has a weather page and there are apps like Accuweather.
When you said it was the wettest you had been I presumed you had been complementing the team initially.  |

Reply | January transfer rumours thread
at 21:55 30 Dec 2024
Due to the usual over expectation of number of actual family gatherings, general decreasing appetites of parents and siblings, then a complete outbreak of whatever virus is taking more people down over Christmas than Lt. John McClane, I can offer the club the following to sell off to increase the transfer budget for January
2 crates of Guinness (24 x 440ml cans)
2 bottles of Baileys
Approximately 4kg of various Waitrose poncey sounding cheeses (most countries of Europe included)
2kg of Swedish Turnip
1kg of carrots
2/3 of a carton of Brandy Sauce (probably past its best)
Half a Christmas pudding
Half a kilo of “meats for cheese”
2 boxes of Carrs Crackers (“why did you order the cheese ones?”)
1 jar of cranberry sauce (unopened)
Unless they really need it, I am keeping the Jameson bottles for the hot toddies. |

Was genuinely going to be happy with a max of a 2 nil loss today, based on the last performance and the back 4 being decimated and Fox and Ashby starting - albeit Ashby was back over on the right.
Initially felt frustrated because too much dicking around with the ball and Varane switched off when he conceded the throw that led to their goal.
Overall, really happy with a point on the road, with that line up. Field protected for Watford by subbing after his yellow, Clarke-Salter hopefully being kept back for Watford and no further injuries please God.
Still not looking forward to NYD against Watford, but this makes me feel a little more upbeat. |

You are not wrong.
The answer to the problem though is generally one of three things - depending on who you believe.
We cannot afford to bring in any better
Our Manager should be able to coach what we have to be much better
Our scouting and recruitment team have been poor in recruitment for the last 30yrs
cos there are 1000s of cheap and better options out there if we had a decent set up |

Was thinking about this and what troubles me is that our best spells this season have been based on "being undefeated. So whilst the Dunne, Morrison, Cook, Pall back 4 with Field and Varane base has kept the clean sheets or conceded few goals generally, we have not exactly been smashing teams.
Take Morrison (undefeated) and Cook out of that back four and I agree that we HAVE to consider Field and JCS in a four with Dunne and Pall (Mr hot and cold).
I don't know if my considering Fox a total liability is justified, but the thought of Fox and Ashby covering the left channel for another game fears me with dread. Is it me or does Ashby have a tendency to want to come back in field on his right foot and avoid the simple pass and tries to play the high stakes ball across the front of the D which are waiting to be picked off by the opposition?
So pushing Field back in to the back 4 that leaves Varane and Morgan as the only two I trust to be in centre mid, but after that I am really struggling to think of an effective replacement for shifting Field in to the back line from the more forward role he has played in the last couple of weeks.
Neither of the two Danes could stand up in there without a Field or Colback doing the dirty work and we still have not seen enough of Dixon-Bonner to understand whether he can step in and add any grit to the midfield.
I could almost accept another loss at Norwich, if there were any positive news about even a Colback being ready to either start or come off the bench on New Year's Day so that we can stop Watford doing a repeat of the opening game last season. 3 defeats over Christmas and all the good work and positivity quickly goes south.
Nardi
Dunne JCS Field Pall
Varane
Morgan ?

Frey
Can't see any positives for Sunday |

That's what I love about some of the "posters" on this site.
7 games unbeaten, won the last three on the bounce at home.
Won 3 of the last 5 away.
One terrible half of football and mummy is going to have to go and find some dummies to hand out. |

Wishing everyone on here a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
The only fans site I ever visit and it still amazes me the breadth of topics that get raised and answered on here and the support that people who are struggling are given.
Then there is the quality of the editorial output and how I still have to check in before going to sleep of a Sunday night in case the latest match report has landed :-)
Best wishes to one and all |

It is one nasty injury. It came on suddenly on my way home from work on the tube about 5 years back, literally out of nowhere and I could not put weight on my right foot and had to ask to sit down on a crowded train. Mrs had to collect me from the station. Hopefully, a fit, professional footballer with youth on their side and excellent physio access 7 days a week will mean he will recover quicker than I did as we will need him for the run in. |
