£28... I don't think so. Like Ben Brereton.... What a waste of money !

This is just bollocks. The lad is either a kid and should be playing with them, or he's a first team striker and will be expected to score 20 goals plus or he can go elsewhere. 20,000 used to boo Keith Andrews every week because he was complete shite and below the expectations of a Blackburn Rovers player. I don't doubt it included many of these so called fans who have become aware of mental health as the latest fashion. If he can't hack it then it says it all. Knuckle down and prove everyone wrong... or everyone is right. Simple fact is a striker has an instinct and he doesn't. You can't coach instinct. Either have it or don't. What if Mowbray cries ? Give him a sympathy job 4 life ? What if Balaji cries ? What if Cheston cries ? What if Don Trump cries ? Is one person worth more than another ? Embarrassing discussion. Even more embarrassing, fans trying to call out other fans for allegedly booing BB and making him cry. Incidentally, as Duncan alludes to, it is 99% likely to be total bullshit.

I thought the exact same thing.

no gold rush cup run

out the cup rubbish

Arma finished it well

What should happen now is that we should go on to win 3-1. The sub was sent off. Was on the pitch for 1 minute 38 seconds

Gally been lively second half. deserved that pen.

Brereton was like a lost child in that first half. Downing, Arma and Bell playing well. Rothwell anonymous.

It's also always going to be the case that ANY professional goalkeeper who comes here is not going to develop under a coach who once had a do in the nets between 2 jumpers and read a "how to be a goalkeeper" book. Absolute piss poor. On a par with tin pot Judan Ali. Like having the kid behind the bar in the BBE who can't pull a pint telling Danny Graham how to score goals. Hang on... is that who coaches our £12mill duds ?

yep ! I'm actually glad he came out and told us we have got fuck all so at least we aren't going to spend the next month looking for links and debating bullshit and then another 2 months theorising why it didn't happen. Still.... demoralising hardly covers it.

When Graham scored the other day we were joint 3rd....

good point well made.

Indeed.... WTAF ! Preparing for the inevitable move to take over from our Tony so can hardly blame him.

Agree. We could sell a 3 year sponsorship on the stadium for £10 million and call it Venkyland. I do wonder if it has already happened (all the Venky signs) but never announced and in next year's accounts. There will be loads of scams we could pull if Babu actually did something creative.

Just read the Mowbray statement that we have no money and won't be doing any business. Pretty obvious from the accounts. Because we can't sell Dack any spend will bang us straight into FFP. If Sheff Utd did come for Lenihan I doubt he would have a choice. Pretty sure we would sell him and look for a freebie replacement on less wages. Forget the football side of things now. It's 100% about the finances and FFP making all the decisions. The only "Dack Plan" has gone up in smoke. Even KPMG didn't have a plan B. Good that Gladwin has gone. Expecting about 4 more to go. Smallwood, Evans, Bell, Samuel.

He appears to have played in our last two u23s games.

I refuse to waste my time moaning about Walton as I also did with Raya. Next keeper will be just the same. The root problem is the coach is a kid who never played and once read a book on goalkeeping. It's complete bollocks....but cheap obviously.

He's generally a liabilty. Gave the last goal away. Only bucked up playing at full back. He can be exciting but the end product is usually running into trouble and losing it rather than passing. He does make some good passes but generally his decision making is poor.

With the exception of this recent run.... That was with Dack.

Article confirms there was (is) a clause for him to go back in January. That last week they didn't know what the situation was and were asking City. And I agree it isn't a definitive answer just TMs appraisal of what he knows up to press. He has been shite the last two games since his mysterious absence is the only certainty.

Correct. Not many like to hear it but the cold hard fact is, the same failings we see week in week out, 3 years on, cost us more than enough points to keep us up. Mowbray more than played his part in the relegation. FACT.

Pretty sure it was a back 3 with Rothwell tasked with tracking back because Downing couldn't. At times we had Tosin, Rothwell, Downing and Bell defending at RB. It just looked like Rothwell was there.

West Brom 1 up in 1 minute. Ha Why do we wear that fukin shit grey kit away when playing red ? Blue and White and some pride please. Those green socks are horrible.
