I think Tronstad is helping him too. A great foil to play alongside

They’re a big club by Geography only. Giving Newcastle United a run for their money as the biggest underachievers in English football. Shithole ground, won nothing for decades bar lower leagues. My standout recent memory is Doncaster Rovers beating them in the League 1 playoff final. You’ve got loads of fans, well done, there are about 3 clubs in north and West Yorkshire.

Hmm what to believe, somebody quoting what he saw with his own eyes in attendance or some freak who was told by some other freak that it was some self-proclaimed hardman ‘windmilling’ his way through the riverside. Proper weird bunch this lot. Looking forward to them missing out in the playoffs and Rickie Fowler and co. realising they’ve invested in a complete and utter shithole.

Yeah, it was always going to be tough with the 3 relegated teams being up in the Prem for a good few years prior. Should Leicester, Leeds and Saints go back up first time and Luton, Sheffield Utd and Burnley come down (as it’s looking in terms of relegation) then the league will feel a lot weaker next season. We desperately need some investment though. Just imagine if we gave JDT £5m-£10m to build around the strong areas we already have.

Was just trying to make some light hearted dig at the clown Waggot really. Southampton batter us and I’ve not got much hope mid-week. The lads are blowing on fumes, thanks to the non-investment from our inept overlords.

Surely we bounce back at Southampton away thanks to our state of the art leased coach keeping the players fresh on such a long journey

Fair enough for Ennis, although he’s moved like a tractor in those 5 appearances. But Markanday has been here for years, think we might have even paid a million for him. We just cannot be relying on the likes of these guys if we have any hope of promotion.

They’re league 1 at best, and that’s pushing it for Markanday. Have no right to be on our bench.

Are you not still meant to get a yellow for jumping in the stand?

I think the Brittain wing experiment needs to end. The end product is pretty woeful (he is a defender so no blame). Play him RB where he can then link up with midfield, not in midfield where he has to create around the box.

Adam Wharton having a brilliant game, unfortunately plenty of mistakes in the others, notably the back 4

We need a big performance here to take anything from this. JDTs academy lads and freebies vs millions (must be close to or over £100m) worth at Leeds.

Can we bin this nonce please Mods?

Just really hoping there isn’t some low buy out clause in the contract like Phillips had (appreciate they’re very different scenarios so I doubt it). Great news though assuming there is no curve ball like that. If only we had some form of budget the last 12 months to add to the very good pieces we already have

Only 4 European countries at the Olympics seems strange anyway. Not sure if it’s always been like that. Some good nations missing out.

Some shockers from Raya tonight. I hope that agreement is binding for our little sum! They’ve had a shocker paying that much for a keeper whose stats really were not that good at Brentford. Just the obvious myth that he’s good with ball at feet as he’s Spanish (he isn’t).

Just checking it now…. Wednesday, Plymouth, Ipswich this season all lost already away Rotherham, Wigan, Sunderland last season we lost all 3 away from home Peterborough, Hull, Blackpool the season before that, we lost all 3 away from home Year before that we drew 1, lost 1, won 1. So it’s now 9 games we’ve lost in a row to the promoted league 1 teams away from home. Just shows how weak we are really

I think the commentators said we have lost the last 8 games away from home to promoted league 1 sides (it was something along these lines). Absolutely sums up Blackburn Rovers under Venkys

Should have been 2 yellows for that lad. 1 for the tackle. 1 for gobbing at both player and referee (oh and the 4 other horrible tackles he’s put in)

Disgraceful refereeing. What can you do though when the standard is just so horrific and the same pleps get rolled out each week.

Half way in and I’ve counted 0

Under/Over 5.5 touches for the non-league German in these 10 mins. I’d be backing the unders

Felt a bit soft to me. This keeper is dire though, another one under his body

We deserved that. Well done lads!!

The referee was staring straight at that challenge on Szmodics. Disgraceful. The standard of referees is at an all time low (and I remember the decisions in the fergie days!!!)
