I've gone for third. I think it's been an excellent season and we've got a real chance but it is going to be very tough to overtake either Middlesbrough or Burnley with the games remaining. Still can't believe the season we've had though. I'd have been happy with tenth at the start of the season...
It will be interesting to see what happens to Bruno. However great he has been this season, I'd be surprised if he plays much if we go up. However, if we don't go up, who do you choose for full backs between Rosenior, Bong and Bruno? Rosenior won't get much playing time on the wing as we've got...
I voted for Kayal because I think he has been just about the most consistent player. Bruno and Stockdale have also been excellent all season and either of them would also deserve to win the award. As others said, other players have had spells when they were unplayable but for sheer consistency...
In fairness, the biggest difference between them and Kayal is that there is only one year left on Kayal's contract. That reduces his value dramatically. Otherwise I would agree with you. We turned down a lot of money (rumoured to be £4 million) for Stephens in the summer and we'd do the same...
One of many great signings we made this summer but, long term, Goldson may turn out to be the best. Whatever he cost, he's a bargain. Great to have such a young centre back pairing who look really good as a partnership.
Absolutely. And, in terms of the original post, I'm sure that Watford (and every other Premier League club) have got loads of players they are watching. It doesn't mean they are going to buy the player, or even put an offer in. I'd be surprised if bottom half clubs aren't watching our players as...
Agree with that. Although I think Stockdale is a key player, we've not seen Maenppa yet, so he might be a good replacement, and we've done okay recently without Bong, although he was great in the first few months of the season. I'm not too worried about Knockaert. He's on a very long term deal...
Agree with that. Main concern for me is that Kayal, Stephens, Stockdale and Bong all only have a year left on their deals. If we don't go up and one of them wants to move on, we might be left with no choice but to accept a bid or risk losing them for nothing a year later. Hopefully we're...
Saturday wasn't great but, as I say, we can't be shockingly bad if we only conceded one goal from the previous six games. We're not great but shockingly bad and terrible are excessive comments. Burnley are probably the best team for set pieces in the division. It's not like we conceded to the...
Again, one goal conceded in total in the previous six games, suggests shockingly bad is the classic NSC over reaction. It's not a strength of ours but we're nowhere near that bad.
At least the Brighton way doesn't involve two administrations. We paid our way as a club but maybe we should have just overspent and gone into administration so we could be in the Premier League.
In fairness, when you concede one goal in six games it is quite harsh to talk about weaknesses. Having said that, we're not the biggest team and, if we are weak defensively at anything, it is probably that.
To be fair, Burnley are one of the biggest teams in the league and also the most...
When people were blaming Hughton at the weekend, I said we'd done a lot of midfielder for striker substitutions when leading late on and that was the only time I can remember us conceding. And, to be fair, it was an error from Ince that led to the goal, not defending too deep. It has worked a...
Complete rubbish. If your player, club, manager and fans had any class, you'd just shut up and be relieved that Barton got away with a blatant stamp, rather than trying to defend it by making up stuff about other tackles or defending Barton's behaviour. Sadly, apparently nobody connected to your...
Clearly, if you didn't act like a cock yesterday, you've changed today. I don't think you get it, do you? Your fans would be really annoyed if the situation was reversed and, unlike you obviously, I wouldn't post on your forum. I'd just be pleased my team won a point from a game they didn't...
You really are pathetic. For one thing, we both know given your negative tactics that you wouldn't have pushed forward for the goal in injury time if the initial one had been allowed. You hardly attacked all game when it was level. For a team top of the league, I've never seen such negative...
Yes, we probably are touchy. In our biggest game of the season, we were 2-1 up and one of your players assaulted our best player. In the end, you snatched a point. Whatever you say about the goal that wasn't given, it's a different game if Pawson does his job and sends Barton off. So, yes we are...
