Have to disagree, £1.5m for a player not to have played 1st team football is significant, Latvia is just crazy, Mebude obviously no where near that level and had he have been he would not be effectively on trial for us.

Man city? They sold him for a significant fee

I suspect it was due to LM knowing him previously. But I don't see the problem, He was a very highly rated lad at Man City, who got a move to Belgium which did not work out (many young players have problems settling away from home in a foreign country.) We have him on loan with an option to buy, so cost us a bit in wages which allows us to see if he is a gem or not up to it, and if we decide he is not he goes back. Not even close to being our worse signing

Some interesting stats, after a few games under LM I thought we started to change style and seen some good signs without maybe the results. Over the recent group of games we have regressed and at times gone away from trying to keep the ball and gone back more to how we played under nige of hitting hopeful balls in behind teams into the channels and trying to catch them, but in reality give the ball away quickly. The difference under Nige we pressed very well and won the ball back alot high up the pitch. I never wanted NP sacked nor did i want LM, but equally do not pretend the football was always that great either under NP. It's understanding why LM has gone away from Manningball he was trying to introduce to something that sits between the 2 styles and so ineffective. Comments have been made about stubborn to not change, but I think he has and for the worse. Maybe trying to be to clever and altering our game plan each time we play depending the opponents? lack of consistency of starting line up? Maybe down to player confidence, we seemed to be moving the ball slow and with a lack of movement, players lacking bravery to take a player on when it's easier to play backwards. Have we been missing James much more than we realise? LM needs to start showing very quickly he can get results and has ideas on how the team will be set up and play next season otherwise the rest of the fans will follow those who want him out and maybe the people who make the decisions will also loose faith

Unfortunately I listened to the ex gas pr1ck Johnson

They were full of sh1t all game

Ref is baggies best player

How is Wallace not booked then

I thought so, offside player in front of max blocking his view and moves so he does not touch the ball. No surprised with how bad officials have been its not given.

Here we go another ref making it up and guessing, even westvbrom commentators saying how soft that free kick was

I posted on the match day thread, that some players were hiding on the pitch, if they are worried, I suspect it is more about getting it wrong and the moans and groans that come from the stands, its easy as supporters to blame everyone else without looking at our own impact

where can we sign the petition

I don't see a massive difference between LM and the nonsense most managers speak particularly when the results have not been good, the only difference is he has replaced a popular manager who was excellent at interviews, and many particularly on here have the knives our ready to over analyse and critique any thing he says in minute detail

To qualify they asked if he knew where Wales was and Jay replied Somerset, which they said was close enough

Should have been a hat trick if Unal returns the pass to him after AS robbed the ball. Described as best players on the pitch in the second half.

You do realise, BT could be the greatest orator going and what ever he said would be turned and used against him on here,

But thats the problem, the reality is no matter what he said those on here who are against BT / LM / JL /SL, will find fault and say why did he say that I thought it was a fair interview with difficult questions at a difficult time for the club. He did not have to go on, but whatever he said is going to be twisted and taken apart on here.

So what did you want him to say?

Thats impressive, my watch was at home in Dundry

Awful 1st half, but the subs of Sykes and Roberts changed the game and got us a much needed 3 points, hopefully will take some of the pressure off the players and start playing with a bit of freedom again as some had started to look like they were hiding on the pitch.

Think the ref was making up the rules as he went along, joke most of the free kicks he was giving. Not sure who's performance was worse ours or the refs (ref shaded it as he was sh1t all game, but we improved)

He already played for Ipswich before, so guess made decision easier

I think that's the irony, I guessing most who think they are being funny or clever trying to make out JL is thick and stupid with the crayonboy or other comments have nowhere near the education Jon has. Not saying he is qualified or should be chairmen, but just makes those making the comments look stupid

You started it off with Lansclown Just all a bit boring and tiresome, particularly against someone who may not have got it all right, but has put a lot of money in to try and take us forward.
