That was poor poor stuff from Duckett. What an idiot.

I wouldn't complain if he took us up but I'm not expecting it! What's the chances of us getting a better striker do you think? Best hope would be another loan.

Would be a disaster to sell Gueye now and be chasing around trying to find a striker this late in the window. Gueye is no worldbeater but to leave us with Leonard ( who is not going to score many or make any other worthwhile contribution) and Ohashi would be suicide. We struggle to score enough goals anyway. Have we actually got anyone who isn't for sale?

Blackpool nearer to his home.

Exactly, as I've said many times, we never build on anything that's gone before. We rip it all up and start again, each time going lower.

No, I'm only referring to a comment above that says he is going.

Very sad to hear Travis will be off, if it's true. Gutting. Our best players up against us in the same League while we watch Cadbury's Assorted FC.

being paid.

And Gueye has a fair-sized head!

That's 6 points for us then! 😟

Looks like the weather might save us from a drawn series!

Great news!!

That game at Old Trafford! Grrrrrr!

Totally missing the point there eh?

You're dancing on a pin there! But I suppose we'll find out what sort of a window its been soon enough!

Both Stokes and Archer ruled out of 5th Test. Bloody hell, India are going to draw the series aren't they?

They've realised they made a huge blunder buying the Club and were robbed blind by advisors, they are no longer interested in the club but won't face the reality of their stupidity and sell. So we carry on with them hoping to break even by selling our best players and gambling on covering the losses cheaply. That's the only explanation I can come up with. What could go wrong?

Because, as you say, we are in managed decline.

I know where I'll be!! 😭

They looked more comfortable on the ball and they created way more chances. If they could only finish we would have lost comfortably. Anyway that's my view.

On the actual game, apart from the penalties I thought we didn't turn up. It was so one-sided but Spain were woeful in the final third where it matters. Missed at least 6 good chances while we didn't create much at all. Looks as if we did more work on penalties than other team and just as well! All the drama came from the penalty shoot-out, the match itself was not a good advert for women's football. TBF, that's true of men's finals too on occasion.

We haven't finished losing players yet.

NO

You clearly have a short lifetime!

Shame Root couldn't take that catch in the slips to give Archer 2 wickets in 2 balls just on lunch. Magnificent attempt though, very fast, very high.
