West Ham joint chairman, David Gold, has passed away aged 86.

Boro allegedly winning the race for Archer.

Where have you heard/read that?

According to Dean Smith, there is no problems with his attitude but his form seems to have tanked somewhat. He's still not in the Norwich squad and Bournemouth didn't what him. Feels like he's turning into another Rodwell type project, not sure we need that.

Probably add Edun to the outs list, we can't get rid of everyone but he isn't good enough either.

Cheers. Quite a lot of interest in the championship by the looks. We'll do well to get him. Also talk of a permanent move away but he has a few years left on his deal, so assume that would price us out. A loan with a fixed future fee (like we have with Hirst) might work 🤷🏻‍♂️

Which Archer are we talking about here?

This. We really need to sort out better RB cover so that it keeps Hedges away from RB. He's one of our better players and certainly adds more to the attack. Speaking of RB, despite JRC being much improved since he returned, he's once again shown he can't last more than 3-4 games in succession before breaking down with injury.

As a side note, Cardiff were dreadful. They had nothing but fouls in them, certainly in the first half. We can only beat what's in front of us but they are borderline a league one team.

Can we put the notion that he's finished or can't play 90mins to bed now?

Yeah he's been good. That last ditch tackle was superb, in particular.

100% It's Like having Mowbray backing charge.

Window is officially open, let's hope Broughton and his team have done their homework. Centre mid and a striker are essential. Some pace would also be very welcome.

Mogga set to lose Ellis Simms as he's being recalled by Everton.

😂 Rovers have done their best to ruin my Christmas, I'm sure they will try for new year as well!

On loan at Stockport for the season. No idea how long his contract was when he signed. Already in his mid 20's, so not exactly a young and up and coming player anymore.

My confidence is pretty low for the team and manager right now. All the stats point to Cardiff being poor which generally means they'll get a late Xmas gift at Ewood. 0-1 Cardiff.

No, and we're getting players like Hirst.

Yeah he was good. Let's hope he keeps the form going.

Just like it was a lot under Mowbray, our better moments in games/goals seem to come about from doing the opposite of what the manager talks about in interviews. The loss and goal difference columns are abysmal and are the worst in the top 10, losses nearly the worst in the division. We struggle to create decent chances in games and we now can't keep the ball out of the net. Our general play is quite poor, we barely get 2 passes together before giving it away and seem to believe that playing out from the back is the way forward. This often gets us 5 yards past our own 18 yard box before inexplicably giving it back to the opposition. This has been going on all season, previously it was covered up by the WLWL form we had. Worrying times really. A slide down the table is inevitable, just depends how far we slide. There is always one team that slides down the league and one the rises, we always seem to the be the former. Frustrating.

For now. Could be out of the play offs altogether by the end of the next game. (A loss and results go against us)

We now have the same amount of losses as Blackpool (12), who are 23rd and only Hudds 13 losses (22nd) and Wigan 13 losses (24th) have more than us. It was never sustainable and it's now catching us up. We are an awful football team.

We're absolutely horrific, can barely string 2 passes together. STILL trying to play it out from the back and failing.

This. Red card or not, you can't control what the officials do but you can decide not to throw the ball at the Boro players head and press the officials into making a decision.

Again, you look at the bench and we have no one to bring in that can do anything. Basically damage limitation at best.
