| Forum Thread | If Bournemouth can do it with gates of 11,000 why can't we. at 09:39 27 Jan 2025
It's amazing that Bournemouth are such a successful club with their financial limitations due to ground capacity. It was only a few years ago that the fans were collecting money in buckets to keep the club afloat. This just proves a point that get the right owners & the right principles running through the club then you can over achieve. They are playing fantastic aggressive football & getting the results that their performances deserve & currently with most of the players out injured. I will add that David Brooks is playing some great stuff for them & last season RM was reluctant to use him & we made no effort to keep him. But it worked in his favour because he's too good to be wasting his time at St Mary's. [Post edited 27 Jan 10:05]

Seen Robinson a couple of times & he looks useful. Why are non of the Academy players getting a look in for the first team. Some of these lads couldn't do any worse than the current 1st teasers. |

That's another Man City thing. Their ctr backs are expected to move into ctr midfield positions as often as possible. Difference being they have the quality to do it , we don't. |

Well I must be a retard then, because I didn't think it was a penalty. Aribo was in front or at least level with Itak & was entitled to go for the ball. Itak's leg wraps around Aribo's so it's not a foul by Aribo. Also if you look close enough you'll see that Itak was tugging on Aribo's shirt pulling him down. But I agree with everybody else that VAR is killing our wonderful game, we won't have to worry about that next season in the Championship, bring it on. |
| Forum Thread | Sulemane injured so not available for Newcastle at 13:56 23 Jan 2025
At Ivan Juric's press conference he's said that Kalmadeen Sulemane has a hamstring problem so is not available for Saturdays match against Newcastle. Apparently he's had Hammy problems before so the club have to be careful with him. Hamstring injuries are much more of a problem with quick players, it's the sprinting that does the damage. Such a shame, just when Kalmadeen was starting to show us what he's capable of. Ivan also mentioned that the squad were not as physically or mentally fit as they needed to be (blame RM for that). So they have been doing extra work in training to prepare for games. I must say that I do like Ivan, I think he has a really good understanding of the game. Given time & I think he'd do a good job for us, BUT, will he get that time or will the club ditch him when we drop into Championship. |

Thanks for reminding us just how magical Matt Le Tiss was. In all my years of watching football I've never seen a more talented player than Le God.(sadly overlooked by our National team) And most of us had the pleasure of watching him perform the outrageous. |

At least Tall Paul has scored a hat trick which more than any other player we have at the club (excusing Tyler's Academy goals). |
| Forum Reply | Is Ramsdale the keeper he was or is he simply behind an utterly pathetic defence at 19:05 21 Jan 2025
2 of the goals against Forest were the fault of the defence not Ramsdale. Our defenders kept backing off the oncoming forwards inviting them to shoot, & they were 2 very well struck shots that most keepers would have struggled to keep out. The 3rd goal came about because Chris Woods was left unmarked in the box & he did what does best & scored with a good header, Ramsdale had no chance. Our defenders were very guilty of not taking responsibility, Harwood Bellis is very guilty of leaving the opposition unmarked because he panics & does not have faith in our other defenders to do their job, he just doubles up instead of picking out an opponent to mark. He's done that on far too many occasions this season. [Post edited 21 Jan 19:26]

Hope it's not the same Medic examining him that examined Ross Stewart. |

There's absolutely no point in bringing in any more loan players, just bring back the ones we've got out on loan & give some of the Academy lads a chance. |

Shea Charles is a better player than Downes who's just a liability. |

Can't believe we went to so much trouble & spent so much money on Downes. He's a liability, so erratic & lacking in discipline. Oh how we miss Oriel Romeu. |

Strange team selection. Sulemane left out after being MOM on Thursday. Reminiscent of RM's decision making. I can only assume that he's fatigued ( knackered) & being rested. Or is he being sold so not being risked getting injured. |

I think Amo is going out on loan. |
| Forum Reply | Sulemana at 15:31 17 Jan 2025
I only suggested Manning to man Mark Diallo because I couldn't think of anyone else in our Squad that could do it. You're right Mannings lack of pace might have been a problem but he is a trier & would have stuck to the task. Last night Diallo was the only threat from Man U. The rest of them looked pretty ordinary & disinterested. |
| Forum Reply | Sulemana at 15:00 17 Jan 2025
You're absolutely right, KWP's defensive limitations were exposed again. He just is not good enough to deal with players like Diallo & we should have brought on Manning to man Mark Diallo. Once players like Diallo get on the ball they are unplayable so you have to stop their supply at source by man marking you reduce the chances of him getting the ball. |
