Football is full of players who don't make it at one club and then do well at another. Van La Parra played 41 times for Wolves last season. For some reason, this year it hasn't worked out for him at Wolves but it is wrong to write him off for that reason. For me, he has something to offer and...

Agree. Think totally ineffective is harsh. He is frustrating though. He can be brilliant but also try to beat his man too many times and lose the ball. In one way, I'd rather we tried to sign him permanently and work on him (although I'd also sign another winger too if possible) than on loan for...

Words fail me. You seriously think Rosenior was good enough to play left back for Hull in the FA Cup Final 18 months ago but not good enough to cover left back for us. Seriously. You need to watch games rather than allow your prejudices to take over. Added to that, Hughton did try to get cover...

Completely agree with this. And the shot had to hit the post to go in. If he'd covered the far post and got beaten at his near post, he would have been slated. I really don't understand what else Stockdale could have done (other than be Kuipers presumably).

Chicksen is awful. Calderon is limited at left back but far better than Chicksen

Yes, I'm arguing that you're wrong when you say he could have done better. He was left completely exposed. I don't understand why you feel the need to criticise him when he's been one of our best players this season.

They're not even comparable. No question that Kuipers was a great player for the club but he was nowhere near as good as some on here would have you believe. Ben Roberts was significantly better than Kuipers but sadly suffered from injuries. Stockdale is a different class to Kuipers. His shot...

I can see you have no case when you resort to pathetic comments like moronic and lickers. How anyone can imagine that they know more about a players readiness to start based on half an hour on the pitch and them "not looking tired at the end" than a manager/staff who watch them in training...

Yes, I trust that the manager does not lie to as you put it "cover up a selection error". I trust the club and management who see players in training and speak to the medical staff. If you choose to believe Chris Hughton lied when talking about Zamora, that's a sad reflection on you and your...

Completely agree. Sadly, that appears not to be our way of doing things. It is easier to slag players off as that way you can say you were right if they don't improve and apparently claim some sort of credit for any improvement they do make (as appears to be suggested in another thread).

I agree they even out over the season but we do seem to be getting the worst of them at the moment, as often happens when you hit a poor run. Both Burnley and Derby penalties were questionable and we might have had a penalty late on against Brentford when Manu went down. However, we should have...

I definitely remember you moaning in July that we hadn't signed enough players already. Whatever you might say about supporting the team, in this thread you've called people sticking up for Hughton lickers, you've basically accused Hughton of lying about Zamora not being fit enough and this...

Are you having a laugh? Seriously? You think fans slagging off players encourages them to improve. What a joke. Another who's not really been around since we've been doing well but delights in coming back when we lose (and calling any fans who support the team lickers). How pathetic.

No, it's odd to assume with a slightly different team selection that we would have done something that hasn't happened all season. I agree if we'd had more players fit we would have got something last night but Hughton says that both Wilson and Zamora weren't fit to start. Do you think he is lying?

Completely agree. Luckily most of his type have not been on here much this season. Apparently, they've just been waiting for a couple of defeats to return and slag off the team.

As I said sad. As for much to my annoyance re last season, if you're actually a fan rather than a wind up, it should be to your annoyance. You were moaning the same this summer (as were many more) and it's gone okay so far. Sadly, I think some so called fans on here, including you, are actually...

Great result for England. Really impressive all round performance. Good there's another test in a couple of days. Hope the momentum can continue.

It is sad how people revert to type so quickly using terms like lickers as some posters suggest that Hughton isn't lying that Zamora's not fit enough to start. I've missed the NSC of last season when people like you gloated about how right you were all season and how everyone should listen to...

The thread is not a question. It's a statement. We'll have to agree to disagree but to me starting a thread like this isn't a critique, it's slating a player who's given their all for the team. As for last night, you're basically saying anyone who disagrees with you didn't watch the game...

Yes, although we've yet to see Crofts alongside one of Stephens and Kayal. The only time we've missed either was together so missing only one might be okay (not that I want to test that). With Wilson not fit to start, we effectively had eight players out yesterday. However much depth you have...
