    "Match in England abandoned as missiles rain down on black player."

    Playing devils advocate, would you all be as happy if the paper had reported this last week?

     

    I was thinking that after the ref. Sort of dealt  with it but expecting there to be some form of punishment from the EFL. As there was another racist ejection as well as the bottle incident 

  2. But what really worrys me us that the news report quotes his wage at Chelsea as £27,500 a week. But he has since been on loan at us then we signed him. Surely there is no way we would pay the same money as Chelsea. Or is that the norm. If it is it's bloody crazy that a player can expect to take a league drop and still expect  the same money.

    Possible multitude of reasons (all speculative from me):

    - Baker story is true

    - Atkinson long-Covid

    - Left back cover (Dasilva off in January)

    - general covid squad cover, more bodies the merrier

    He'd had a good loan at Grimsby until recently.

    Dave you message content is normally based on good based thought and opinion. But these appears to be pure speculation unless you have a very good inside source.

  4. Yes felt past couple of games he has been anonymous. And today did some nice stuff. But did not quite seem really up for it. Mind with his in doubted talent and the lack of progress with the team I think outside interest is no doubt a big distraction. I would be surprised to see him with city in a years time

    If you could somehow pair him with Weimann (9g / 4a in 23 apps)???

    Not sure how you see those two working together. To me he needs a big target man up front with him

    Could well be.  Maybe January’s transfer business might inform that.

    As per another thread, I think Palmer, Wells, Dasilva and Moore will be attempted to be moved on.  That’s about £75k p.w. (although we might end up paying a chunk of that).

    Yrs but getting a good beneficial off load of  Wells and Palmer could be difficult. Would strike me getting them out on loan a more likely option and how much of their wages will we still be covering

    That’s the only thing I can think. It doesn’t explain why you wouldn’t play Pring for 60 and bring Benarous, or Dasilva, on layer though.

    Yes. To start Prong would of secured the defense better and Benarous a good attacking substitution. But we are not training the players and do not see them every day

    Totally agree with the first part….I don’t think we were lucky to be level at h-t though, we created equally good opportunities.  I’m critical of Nige’s selections tonight though.

    Yrs I can see that, but is his selections down to him not trusting or wanting the best selection options. Which means the squad is a long way from what NP wants. Which is very worrying with our limited transfer in situation 

  9. Yes agree with do much there. But I do feel as there are players in the team who are not pulling their weight, and need to be released, NP is forced at times to play his better players out of their best positions. As I have said before this season was never going to be pretty  and we just need to stay up . And I did feel Scott and Benerous where again showed up  well above the rest of the team

  10. I think we really have to accept that at this moment in time it is just where we are. For many reasons, which are hopefully being on worked on ongoingly and in future planning. The team is just not good enough to be consistent at this level currently

  11. After watching today in utter dis believe . From a great opening goal to some pretty poor defensive mistakes to lose 2-3. But no one seems to have mentioned the awful game the ref had and linesman in front of Lansdown. Their seconed goal totally offside. I was right in line and it a bad linesman miss. And both the ref and that linesman made poor desicions all game. On the whole our game was not to bad. But we kept leaving holes in the midfield that  Huddersfield used very effectively. Our whole defensive set up was so un together today continually giving them space and room. I would not pick any one out in defensive as having a particularly bad game it was they where not in a unit. And also how clear the extra pace and fitness Hudersfield had in chasing every ball or man down with a sprint. And when an attack was on they sprinted. We did not look like we knew what a sprint was. We just Look so untogether as a team. Yrs I agree some of those on the field today really are not good enough and we are a work in progress. A five season job easily needed. Yes I do feel NP us our man but SL has to give him serious backing in Jan. and ongoing transfer markets. This was never going to be a pretty season and we just have to stay up. And I hope the nonsense with the ref stoping the game seconed half for what looked like bottles thrown at their player taking a corner does not incur a severe reprimand and/or worse punishment . Anyway I bloody love this club so let's just behind the team
