| Forum Reply | Tactical approach at 08:01 2 Oct 2024
We need JCS back a left sided CB, move Dunne back to RB. The RB is not currently good enough. We need Colback back into CM to bring back our combat & experience into the midfield. We need Chair back wide right midfield. Three of our best and most influential players missing is always going to be a concern. The squad players need to 'up their game'. Talk what you like about tactics, and I am not saying we have it 100% right in that area, but it is the quality of the players performances over the past few games is the main problem. |

Why should supporters know the 'inner workings' of the Club??? Pleased about the new contracts but do they mean much nowadays?? |

Good news if he has signed a new contract........decent CB. |

Not sure it was 'never a red card'.....a tight call for the ref - plenty to argue for the sending off though. |

Smyth did the hard part in getting ahead of the defender but failed to get it on target. Disappointing for him and all of us because an early goal helps the Team. Tight call re the Varone sending off, It happens. Another tight call with Smyth in the second half. Could have been a foul. |
| Forum Reply | Varane’s red sets Rangers on road to Rovers ruin – Report at 14:10 30 Sep 2024
I do not want Colback to change.....we got enough passive midfielders who show very little or no aggression (& much, much more). If fit MC will pick him and quite rightly so, I would want him next to me if I was playing in the Team or was the Manager. I find it very wrong that Varane gets a red and then many posters want to talk about 'Ginger'.....its a shame because he is our best overall midfielder - the team and we miss him when he doesn't play. Sadly many posters have never played the game to any level so do not understand the importance of Colback to 'this' team.,, they just want to look at his negitievs and, of course, he has negatives and why he is playing for us. Hope he is fit for the Hull game.....it will give us a much better chance of winning the game. |
| Forum Reply | What we know so far.... at 09:05 29 Sep 2024
Most of the 'new boys' are not playing as well as I thought they would. I am not going into detail, it would take far too long, but they all need to 'step up' their game. Whether they can is another thing. Yesterday (& Millwall) showed how important, and I know it will go against the grain with many posters, Jack Colback is to the midfield & team. He is very important indeed, going forward & defending. Posters should actually watch Ginger, he is very busy in midfield and does a hell of a lot of work off the ball as well as when he has the ball & not just his negatives. Can you imagine if he get sent off like Varane did yesterday - it would be meltdown here!! I hope he will be fit for the Hull game and we will have a much bigger chance of winning the game. Chair not playing also effects our performances massively despite many posters moaning about him. He is another one of our much better players. Then JCS, a 'proper' left footed LB.....another big miss. So in summary, and as I posted on the match thread prior to the game - loosing 3 of our 'much' better players will be a 'big ask' for the Team. Saying that, until the second half yesterday I thought we were relatively comfortable.....the sending off was the 'game changer'. Posters should not be too disappointed, we played a team whom are near the top of the league and matched them quite easily in the first half. |

Very disappointing team indeed......to get anything out of this game we will need to play above expectations. Some 'big players' missing from the line up - at least 3 or 4 players missing whom would start. It is not all over though, we still got some good lads in the Team. |

Good news......chair is a big asset to the team and club. |

Perhaps Norf, but I can be biased on occasions but always fair . Thing is, I could not see the bloke who scored go 'mental' nor any other Watford players doing something similar. Not sure we would react in the same way if we thought that we had scored against Man City. |

I am not saying that there is some consistency lacking...... |
| Forum Reply | Pep on the EFL Cup at 18:29 25 Sep 2024
Maybe but the ref obviously thought that it was a foul and the only issue that I could see was with his arm.......harsh decision maybe, what was the Watford reaction? I didn't see much from the player that slotted. |
| Forum Reply | Pep on the EFL Cup at 18:10 25 Sep 2024
Difficult angle to judge but I would suggest that he used his arm to give him more force and the ref didn't like it. |
| Forum Reply | Kelman at 18:03 25 Sep 2024
He may be a 'decent bloke' but sadly he is not, and will never be, good enough to score goals regularly in the Championship. I hope he makes it somewhere in football if that is what he wants. |

It has been a reasonable start......I have only been disappointed with the Millwall performance. Top half is well achievable with the squad that we have got. Key is seeing if the new foreign players improve because they, apart from Nardi & Frey, are not as exciting as I would expect, in fact playing very average indeed. |

I wont be going if MC is not there. Is there anyone from the coaching team going?? First question should be......'.why isn't MC in attendance'. Then 'why isn't there anyone from the coach team present'. |
| Forum Reply | Their goal today at 08:35 23 Sep 2024
It was a poor conceded goal all round, a few players did not cover themselves in glory. Where was our wide right midfielder?? No issues with Paal and the goal. Millwall had far too much time and space. [Post edited 23 Sep 8:36]

Maybe we are a new team but they are professional footballers. Yesterday they were not very good at all apart from one or two of them. Poor excuse to use 'new team' as a reason why they were generally poor and there is no reason why supporters cannot make their thoughts known.. I have been very pleased with the season thus far, some good performances both player wise and the team. Yesterday they were not very good and it wasn't because they are a' new team'. |

Most of the attacking players final balls/passes are 'not the best'.....not just Smyth. |
