He's right, but it won't be with us.

Think the skewed view of this game needs to be reined in. I thought we played well but if we'd done what Watford did to us we'd be applauding a counter attacking masterclass.

That is some pass. Not seen enough of JRC to form a real opinion but based on that pass he can't be a bad un. Always thought Nyambe is great physically but lacking football ability, possibly a polar opposite with JRC.

Save me a slice pal

Hate that chipped nothing ball down the line that is Bell's default pass. Such a lazy bit of play putting all the emphasis on the player in the channel to make something out of

Worrying that because Wharton looked well out of his depth last night

How us he explicitly Holtby's man when he is the more advanced of our 3 in CM?. Furthermore, who was Nyambe marking? He is facing the right way, should be alert to the danger and react accordingly. If he's stood scratching his arse in the 6 yard box ball watching with a Watford player in his zone then, yes he is culpable.

Seriously, first half I watched Watford let us have the ball and basically stand off until we gave it to Bell. They would the press until the inevitable surrendering of possession.

Yep, it's a strange feeling. We played really well tonight but those that are a level below (and I'm with you on Nyambe being one of those) stick out like a sore thumb. Thankfully the squad has the personnel so they can be replaced.

No Paul, but he can identify a left back who is an absolute liability

Just watch the Watford players when we have the ball at the back, no pressure until we play it to Bell then they press the hell out of it.

This lad Elliott is quality, into everything we do.

I'm sick of watching Bell hitting speculative chipped balls down the line. It's a fucking nothing ball. Shit me 2 down...

Well according to the FB illuminati not only should we roll out the red carpet to Venkys but we should also aim for Top 10 this season.

So disappointing. Always said that Holtby sets the tempo and puts us on the front foot and feared when he was out and I cannot believe he was allowed to miss this game. However, that opened the door for Buckley who appears to have completely bottled his chance. He's a talented boy in my opinion but if he's mentally weak he'll never make it at this level. Got to see how the new players bed in but more importantly how we recreate the intensity of our good wins this season.

Makes the decision to give Holtby extended parental leave look very poor. I'm all for family but, bloody hell..... Glad that Buckley has been trusted to start, it's a big game for him. But that bench....

Exactly. And even more so when Mani admits there hasn't been any so called 'hate' recently - so why bring up the term?

Where is the hate?

Looks like old Tony is going for a shit or bust season. Good, it makes for an exciting 6 or 7 months.

Each to their own

Has Elliott definitely signed? No confirmation on Sky Sports?

Touché

No idea what happened to him but he was unplayable about 3 years ago

Some of the shite on Facebook today has pissed me off no end. Seriously, some of the clowns on there would give Barry and Madame a tic a tape welcome to Ewood. The ignorance is sickening.

That'll serve him well with all the temporary lights in the area at the moment.
