I do sometimes think people want players to fail. He's hardly played and some people (including the OP) seem to want to write him off. Why not give players a chance rather than starting threads complaining about them when they're young and have recently moved to a new country/league?

Completely agree with this. I was fearing he'd be out for longer. However, it's still a massive blow for us as he's been one of our best players this year. Feel like we're cursed at left back!

What a bizarre predictions table. As well as the amount of points at the bottom, they also predict that Nottingham Forest will finish 17th with 46 points (less than we had last year. Statistically that number of points has only kept two teams up in the last 10 years and yet they think 17th will...

Not arguing that he would be a good option but the cost is concerning. Whether we'd be better off spending £6.5 million on Ulloa than Calleri is also questionable as Ulloa knows the Championship and wouldn't have to adapt to a new country.

But you're throwing money away if you don't go up. It was a ridiculous fee that Watford got from Reading, who were quite desperate. It's the sort of gamble that can leave you in financial problems too. Also, if Leicester do sell Ulloa, it will be for more than £4 million. Murray went to...

If you say Baldock is the same as CMS, then yes I think either you don't watch the games or you've made your mind up about Baldock and won't see what he brings to the team. I'm not suggesting it's not about opinions. I'm saying there's way of stating your opinions that make you look crass and...

It's quite simple, Vydra was a loan fee. You're throwing away £2.5 million. We'll spend the money but it will need to be on a young striker with a sell on value. That is how sensible teams work rather than throwing away money on a one year loan signing.

If you can't see how much better Baldock is than CMS, then to be honest you obviously don't watch games. You're allowed not to rate him but, whether in jest or not, it was a snide remark and Baldock deserves better.

Disagree with this. At home maybe but Rosenior has played well on the right wing and provides stability in tough away games, two of which are coming up. Having said that, I don't understand the comments that he hasn't played left back when he played regularly there for Hull, including in a cup...

Completely agree. We'd surely have all taken 7 points from 3 games before Leeds.

Sorry, we're top of the league and you want to bring in four players in January. Four. We are obviously looking for a striker but we're certainly not going to bring in two. As for the others, we rarely buy more than two players in January so I would suggest that's the maximum this time.

I often think football fans don't deserve success. We're top of the league and posts like this come out. Fair enough if you don't rate Baldock but snide remarks like this are pathetic.

Completely disagree re first half. We played well (especially first half hour). I realise you are talking about today but it's still a massive over reaction. We had a poor second half but to say we were anything like a bottom three team today is ridiculous and, frankly, this thread is...

What a load of arrogant rubbish. Preston were solid at the back and didn't give us much space. The issue is some fans assume, because we're top, that we should beat bottom half teams. The Championship doesn't work like that. Games are very tight and we didn't have that bit of inspiration today...

Good to see NSC back to a bit of over reaction and drivel. One ordinary half (we were good in the first half, especially the first half hour) and a few people moaning like we are actually bottom of the league. We're still unbeaten, have 29 points from 13 games and are four points clear at the...

It never played. We always had one of Crofts/Hammond alongside Bridcutt and Vicente rarely played. Ulloa and Upson only signed in late January so we only had three months where that was even an option.

You have to bear in mind that Poyet's team didn't have either Upson or Ulloa at this point of the season and we relied on CMS and Barnes up front. In my view, Hughton's team is stronger both as individuals and a team but whether that's still the case after January will depend on who we sign...

Yes, and they only cost us about £1 million between them. I still can't believe nobody really competed with us for Kayal at £350K in January. At that price, it's not really a gamble for a lot of clubs at this level. Look at how much Derby spent on two central midfielders for comparison and I...

Well if this is you very content, I'd hate to see you miserable. There's always games you should win and don't but the other way round, we could easily have drawn or even lost against Fulham and all our home games have been very tight so we were bound to draw one at some point. I was...

Room for improvement is one thing, constant threads about Baldock being the problem and throwing away points is just moaning. It's boring enough when we're down the bottom so you'd think we could have a break from them when top. The funny thing is if someone had started a positive thread when...
