Not sure it’s overplayed, didn’t we only win one of our first seven games or something like that? (not checked, but pretty sure it was dire). In my opinion, only my opinion of course, that was pretty much down to the carnage that Farke inherited, such as a players looking for transfers, feigning in...

I don't agree with that CJ, No way would Farke have taken the job on a promotion or sacked option, also the board would be pretty stupid / naive to think that we could go straight back up with what we had at our disposal. Sure, other teams have had issues, but our were magnified well in to the seas...

sorry Cjay, couldn't resist

Oh they are violins

They look like guitars in normal view, was very confused

Absolutely Farke should stay, the carnage he inherited , and had to run with for a time, is forgotten by some. If it means we have to wait another year, before promotion, so be it. The last thing we need is starting all over again. Is that not overplayed somewhat? Our takeover was officially signed...

Impossible to say whether Farke should be sacked should we not be promoted without knowing the options available. But absolutely no chance this was some sort of "project" 2,3 years for promotion. That's PR spin. His job was promotion this season (which still may happen). No chance the 49er...

I see our resident child is on his orangebox again, tut tut, wildly finding things in his tiny to suit his narrative. Choosing to keep bangin on abart Pukki, Buendia etc whilst not realising EVERY single team in the land has it's best players. How long does it take a manager to get his team ticking...

In hindsight (which i v much admit, Cjay is v good at) i've no doubt DF would've done some things differently and he himself would admit some mistakes, ALL managers make them, and especially considering that wonderful thing 'hindsight' There is nothing between us top 3 maybe 4 that that thing calle...

Said the pot to the kettle.

My stats were far larger so feel free to back up your little dig

Won't though never do

Regardless the inference you are making is that we got beat by a, woeful team. I prefer to look at trends whether the form is on the rise or falling. At 12 games we were in the top 6 and at 4 games we are no longer there. We are trending downwards the same as Lester. Whereas Boro and Southampton tw...

PB faster off the mark, speed of thought, and more intelligent running. Don't worry you'll get there. This apparently 'much better player' has splinters from the bench for a reason. Because Farke hasn't a clue how to use him? :roll: The only thing Bamford does better is run around. Used properly Pi...

Fair point.

But OK it's extremely rare, 1 season maybe.

Besides Swansea fans and reporters have told us he wasn't a midfielder often enough.

He played through the middle, as a second striker, left of a front 3 occasionally

But not midfield

Often I have seen Bamford in the box but Summerville ignores him, some may say a sensible decision but strikers need crosses. It was interesting to see how many assists Firpo got from the left side by putting crosses in. Summerville has had a great year but for me I'd like to see him mix it up more...

Well you take 11 games to prove your point and I take 4 to prove mine. I think that just proves Kenny right... stats can be twisted to reinforce your point of view. Looking at the last 4 games Boro are 2nd on the form table they are not to be seen on your table, so I assume they are somewhere near ...

During a Leeds attack Gnonto was in acres of space down the right, yet I was left in disbelief why the pass wasn't played when a good shot on goal would have been the result. Why then was the pass not played? Was it the rigidity of DF's system, or because the other player did not see him? Does it m...

Like I said though it gives him chance to get the team that he wants. At Norwich his first year was poor but he started to get the team playing how he wanted. I made the example with Rutter as being a good player but end product lacking and gives the ball away a lot. Yes some great moments but give...

If we don't go up I'd want Farke in charge. He'd probably have more chance of building the side he wants rather than having to make the best out of what he had. I know some will say we had this great squad etc but there are glaring weaknesses. I would say we have done better overall than we had a r...

All that, and yet still faster than Piroe :roll: What has fast got to do with anything anyway? We rarely play balls over the top, everything is slow and infront of the opposition Neither Piroe nor Bamford are fast but we don't play fast football or use over the top passes Piroe is a much better pla...

Obviously you want to follow your own narrative and disregard the facts. In the last four games 2 wins 1 draw and 1 loss which puts them in the top 6 of the form table as I stated. Just to refresh your memory. Screenshot_20240415-215032_DuckDuckGo.jpg And as I said, 1 win in 11 when we played them....

Piroe isn't a 9, even Farke said pre season Piroe likes to arrive late into the box. He's a goal scoring mid You don't score as many goals as Piroe has if you are a goalscoring midfielder. He's not a traditional 9, but he's not a 10 either, he's more a hybrid of the two imo. When we signed him the ...

Saw “The Mule” again the other day. Fun film not to be taken too seriously but I enjoyed it. Again. The Mule was decent. Watched Cry Macho and that was just sad. He tried his best but bad script and no amount of makeup and camera trickery could hide the fact he was a frail 90 year old man trying to...
