From the looks of it we still need a striker. The new lad would appear to be more of a right sided wide forward.

Watched them v Boro Friday night. Although they lost 3-2 to a late goal right at the death they played pretty well and I can't see them going down.

Im amazed you've had this confidence all season that we'll stay up. I've been of the view that those away wins in the first half of the campaign were very much an outlier and once those inevitably dried up we'd be in desperate trouble. Which is now proving to be the case seemingly. If Ismael stays I don't think it'll even be close, I think we'll struggle to get to 40 points. A new voice, approach and pair of eyes and we might just get enough of a bounce to scrape to safety.

I wouldnt be rushing to put Ohashi in the side, think he's been dreadful recently.

Fair enough, but if you think they are "dreadful operators", what's your objection to a call for a boycott for ONE GAME?

The usual people who report on transfer rumours. I guess the proof of the pudding will be in the eating won't it. If he continues to play like today but retains his place something would appear to be very much amiss. If he were dropped for the next game and never saw another minute I wouldnt shed a tear, Id rather see Pratt in the side, especially when he's done so well up to now.

Lol. Go on I'll bite. It's widely reported that Brighton are picking up most if not all his wages in return for guaranteed game time. Were he not to get that game time it's reasonable to assume we'd have to pay more towards his wages. Whether you term it as a "penalty clause" or a gentleman's agreement.

💯

Coming from the number 2 contrarian on the Board behind Masher, Im reassured by that.

So you agree with me. Cheers.

It stopped a long time ago. Whether it gets repaired or not is another thing entirely.

He needs to go - and fast. Otherwise we're toast. Simple as that. I live in a little bit of hope that his record is getting SO bad that Pasha and Gestede are drawing increasing attention to themselves by NOT sacking him.

As I said in the matchday thread quintessentially Venky's Rovers. Academy Lad drafted in as an absolute last resort after failing with Hedges at LWB. Academy lad absolutely excels - doesnt let us down once. Promptly binned off because another Club wants one of their players to get some minutes. Said loanee comes in, scores the most needless own goal of own time and basically looks like he's never seen a football pitch before. However we're obliged to play him otherwise we face penalty clauses.

I didnt especially rate Graham but he'd be a huge improvement to this starting X1. Tronstad I could still take or leave, even in this line up.

Post of the day. Well done!

If I was being in a mischievous mood Id say that also sounds suspiciously like Tronstad but after witnessing that game Im not in the mood for the tidal wave of outraged indignation which would no doubt come rolling my way. So I won't

2nd game in a row where we haven’t mustered a shot on target, two goals in over 700 mins, out of the game today after 12 mins, yet Im sure we'll be treated to VI whinging about refs for 10 mins in his presser again today.

Doesn't matter. Ismael has to go or I doubt we'll make 40 points.

Did you continue to see "something" in Henrikssen today?

Well said Barry!

Sorry, I know we've not got the best squad in the world but by christ, you'd have to go some to find anyone who'd make a worse fist of it than this fella.

2nd consecutive game with no shots on target. Two goals in 723 minutes I think it is now. Back to the very early days of VI's regime when we were out of the game after around 10 mins. We're absolute toast unless VI is replaced VERY quickly. Even then I wouldnt be over confident but at least we'd have some sort of chance.

The commentator on TV sounds surprised we havent had a shot on target in the 90 mins. We didnt last Sunday either mate!

Why make them at all at that point?

Defensively this is the worst we've been all season by an absolute street Id say. If Ipswich hadn't been a bit sloppy could have been six or seven. Ipswich forward on his arse on the edge of our areawith two defenders round him came away with the ball before! Edit: 3-0. A slightly more realistic reflection of the scoreline.
