Tyrone Shoelaces

He doesn’t seem to be drawn to the ball a lot like he used to be. Now he just holds his position and plays things as they come.

Cardiff’s best chance came when we ballsed up a throw in just before half time. Their winger got possession and put in a great cross that their striker couldn’t quite get to.

They’ll not get him on a free.

They should have stuck with Big Sam. How many managers have they had since they fired him ?

Yes I agree about the bcd element to the game. It was like a pre-season bcd practice game. We never really got going.

Gallagher and Brererton weren’t exactly pulling trees up today.

I thought we could do with an influential midfielder after today’s performance. If Buckley and Travis aren’t firing on all cylinders we’ve nobody with a creative streak to bring on.

I’m thrilled with the win and the three points but we need to be able to put two passes together again. That was like one of the games in our death spirals apart from the result. We looked like we’d walked it to Cardiff.

He needs to get back to that crossroads at midnight sharpish.

Will you be happy if we play like that at Hull Gav ?

Not that badly.

But it wouldn’t surprise me.

This is the furthest behind Australia we’ve been in my lifetime. If we’re not careful we’ll be in the same position as our Rugby League team are were we haven’t won an ashes series for 40 years !

Yes you’re right about the Villa replay.

Berkovic could direct the traffic as well as anybody. Buckley might get to that level one day but he’s not there yet.

Or a Berkovic.

He’d have gone down great with Keeley and Branagan back in the day. Unfortunately the game has become a lot less physical since then. He’ll have to learn to stay on his feet more if he wants to stay on the pitch.

I can’t see it. Burnley need players to get them out of the shit now, not in a year or two’s time. Buckley’s not nearly at that level at the moment. Having said that if they’re already resigned to being relegated he’d be a good signing.

That’s a bit too convenient.

If we don’t get promotion this season, and hand on heart given the way the club is run I don’t think we will, there is absolutely no chance that Brererton will be at the club next season. Even if by some miracle we do get promoted I still think he’d leave given the clubs that are supposed to be wanting to sign him.

When Carroll gets it all together he’s a handful. Wether he can still do it at top level remains to be seen. I wouldn’t write him off without seeing him play.

I’ve recognised PUMA boots in photos of the 1958 World Cup. I don’t see and ADIDAS or PUMA boots on display there in that photo.

Just look at the boots ! How did they play in those, they’re more suited to working in a foundry.

If we are bringing a player or two in they need to be of the standard to go straight into the team and not just be here to “ give the lads a lift “.

You never know with Mowbray. Ayala back in at centre half. JRC at right or left wing back. Gallagher on the right instead of Khadra
