Re: Another 6 point, points deduction incoming

Selling Puscas probably seemed certain at the time the plan was formulated. Pisa were playing very well and seemed certain to go up.

Moore was injured during his spell at Stoke and that probably killed that opportunity.

Re: Moving away fans to Upper West Corner

I'm all for charging some clubs more for their allocation (Leeds if they come down).

Re: Reading FC Womens World

Thought Grace was as ok, defensive shape was poor in the first half - we kept leaving 2 on 1 on the back post (leading to both goals). Evans, who whenever I’ve seen her before has been superb, looked utterly lost today. Harries was a real threat for the first 15 minutes she was on but the looked blo...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackburn Rovers (a)

Calamitous defensive errors.

Only leaving one back in the second minute was so poor, then in the build up to the equaliser we gifted possession time and again. Loum and Sarr were particularly at fault. TInce didn't seem his usual self, I thought everyone else was good.

Re: Rival Watch

Watching QPR tonight is reminding me why managers who have been in the lower leagues for a long while tend to stay there. A month ago muppets on here were suggesting GA for the Ding, along with Parkey, perhaps L1 is his level?

That said he could be ideal next season

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackburn Rovers (a)

Seemed to do a lot in the community before being stripped of the captaincy. Certainly our best defender.

Like Loader, he should have been sold for a packet and we may have avoided all the cr@p that's come since. That's on the owner and the people he surrounded himself with.

Re: Drop Carroll

Hoofing the ball to his head is such a waste, his footballing skills were as much a reason for his move to Liverpool as his heading! Mix it up!

Re: Ince out!

Absolutely no point keeping Ince, no one wants him here next season, search for a decent manager now so they can see what they want/need for next season They can see what they want/need all they like, the fact is we won't be able to buy anything and will still be tied in to the EFL's rules on spend...

Re: Summer 2023 Transfer Speculation

If we're getting smashed with another 6 point deduction won't we be under embargo again in the summer? Presumably if we've failed to do as we were told we'll still be under the EFL's boot for another year?

Re: Ince out!

If we get the 6 point deduction do we remain under EFL embargo? Presumably yes as we won't have met their roadmap out of the sh1te. If so Ince is proven at achieving above the odds with a very average set of players. Frankly other than Ince JR, and possibly Holmes, none of our contracted players ar...

Re: Do you want Ince as our manager next season.

He’s performed above expectations for this season given the investment and squad.

I doubt, given the state of our finances, that he can be got rid of before the end of the season.

I’d rather sack the majority of the players first.

Re: Ince out!

The problem with that is, we don't have the players to play that way, but we do have the players to play other ways. Tom Ince needs to play with Azeez and Hoilett on the wings, the issue is that Hoilett is required at the back due to the mass of injuries and that we need to play a back 3 to cover f...

Re: Ince out!

Carroll isn’t the whole issue. When you only have the players available that allow you to play 5-3-2 with two defensive mids (one of whom is a repurposed cb) and without any playmaker, you’ll always be one dimensional. Azeez needs to play in a side with other quick players and a player in the middl...
