A nice bloke and our best centre forward since Bobby Zamora. I wish him well.

What he does is suit the slower, possession based approach of last season. That might, of course, be because he isn't good enough to play the higher tempo style Oscar is looking for.

Pretty sure that isn't actually true.

Then I must be COOL as well because I was about to make the exact same point.

I would vow to never buy it again, but I never have anyway.

I don't leave early either, but not everyone lives in the same place / uses the same transport so can't really comment on why people leave early.

It annoys me at the time but in the cold light of day people can leave whenever they like. It is not like those that stayed were roaring the team on throughout the match.

The saddest thing about that video is seeing Tony Bloom and Gus Poyet smiling together at the start and then thinking about how it all ended.

I would not be at all surprised if it was a similar case last season when Barnes was suspended and Ulloa was left as the only real striking option during our run in. To be honest, the failure to secure a loan striker then probably caused us more damage than not getting one in yet this season.

Selhurst Park, Monday October 7. Tickets just a fiver. Would be good to take a few fans up.

Exactly. And possession football also gives our defence a bit of a break while also stretching the opposition and making them concentrate and chase the game for large periods.

Scoring chances is a big part of playing well.

Hasn't he just. Cannot understand him not getting a single minute in the last two matches.

Agree it is too soon for judge Oscar. But you point on using youngsters does not really tell the entire story. His hand has, to some extent, been forced due to injuries and lack of alternatives. I would also suggest playing Bruno in midfield for two games is not exactly showing a willingness to...

I will also be less carefree if the cost of my ticket increases next season.

Lucky you! But I do take your point. Poyet only ever swapped like for like and often late in the day. Despite leaving the midfield alone at Ipswich he did introduce Lua Lua early which, hopefully, is a sign he will be a little more proactive than Poyet in terms of reacting to specific matches.

He didn't at Ipswich despite the fact it was very apparent the midfield experimentation with Bruno was not working.

Don't think the knives are out - just understandably disappointment at two very poor performances at Ipswich and last night. My concern would be that we don't have the players capable of playing the fast-tempo, less touches on the ball style Oscar seems to want to put in place. Last season we...

Presumably the 39 per cent who voted for SIX weren't at Ipswich...

I was actually talking about something similar the other day. I remember the days of going to watch the match and being disappointed if we lost but not THAT annoyed. I think the big difference is the cost of football these days. People make a significant financial investment to watch the Albion...
