How can you say Birmingham's goal was his fault? It was an unmarked header from about 6 yards out! I didn't go to the friendly so can't comment on those goals but it was his first game of pre season. Charlton's first goal he should have done better but I disagree strongly with the Brentford...

You clearly weren't at the game. I looked at the highlights just now and it didn't look that bad. Just slightly out of position so he could come and claim the ball if needed. You wouldn't be making these comments if you were at the game and saw the fantastic save he made at 1-0 as well as a...

Either you're joking or an idiot. I assume you didn't go to the game as Stockdale played well and made a fantastic save in the second half. I take it when you saw the goal that Kuszczak conceded at Forest, you made your mind up we should get rid of him!

But he did keep us level yesterday (as did their keeper for them). I'm not even sure he could do much about the second goal but I haven't seen it again. I'm sure you'll argue otherwise but I don't think he's really had a chance with any of the goals, which isn't his fault. I think you, and...

As has been expressed elsewhere, probably one of the worst posts on this forum ever. If you don't come again, to be honest it won't be much of a loss to the club. I assume you weren't at the game last night judging by the time you posted this.

So you didn't see his save last night. That was a fantastic save and he should have had "no chance" with it.

I agree. Hyypia may well end up failing and then need to be sacked and no doubt the idiots on this thread will gloat about how right they were. But the fact is you shouldn't appoint a manager, lose 11 players and bring in a similar number to replace them and then sack the manager after 7 league...

He was only ever permanently at Fulham. He was always number one at his loan clubs and was crucial in Hull going up two years ago and has done well on loan at other teams. Personally, I like to give players a chance rather than going on about everything they've done wrong before they join or...

How tiresome. The same old idiots who wanted Poyet out during his spell here, then wanted Oscar out despite how well he was doing with numerous injuries, now calling for Hyypia to go after 7 league games. Pathetic. No doubt we'll have the hilarious polls after every game soon and then when we...

He is clearly not far inferior to Kuszczak. I rated him but the fact that he has no club still, despite being on a free transfer, shows how other clubs rate him. While I am impressed that you stand up for him tonight, you're constant criticism of Stockdale (even before he joined) has been tiresome.

So you're not going to mention the incredible saves he made in the second half yesterday then? Or the fact that any keeper can be beaten from a pot shot like their second. Sadly, there seem to be a lot of fans already who want Stockdale to fail so they're proved right and will ignore anything he...

It is, I really picked up on your comment about their defence as I thought that was odd. As I've said elsewhere there's still work to be done and we need to be tighter at the back as we can't keep needing 2/3 goals to get anything from a game. It's acceptable to have the hump, I just thought...

I agree. Formation isn't perfect yet. We've probably gone too far the other way after how defensive we were last year. Whether Sami sorts that out will probably define his time as manager. Hopefully he'll learn to be more practical as there's no way we can go to Watford or Forest and play like that.

Totally disagree with this. Texeira did little except setup our second goal, although I wouldn't have taken him off personally, while Baldock looked a threat despite getting little service. Taking your comment literally, I'm assuming having a shot blocked on the line by a defender is "nothing"...

Great to see that while most seem positive that games are more interesting this year that there are some moaners. For one thing, when you consider what a lot of forwards cost at this level, to say our attacking players were expensively assembled is a joke. Added to that, you obviously weren't...

I would be very surprised if we signed anyone tomorrow unless one or two key players leave. We don't have any need for players in squad terms except for possibly a centre back but even there we have options of Calde, Ince and Maksimenko for fourth choice. However, I could easily be proved wrong...

Cellino is ridiculous. Sack him, don't sack him, now sack him again. Will probably have changed his mind by tomorrow. Why appoint Hockaday? Having appointed him, why sack him after six games? Must be a good chance of Leeds being relegated this year. Who's going to want to take that job?

Great news. March would presumably be in there too if he was fit. With March, Walton, JFC, Dunk and Ince, we've got a really good group of young English players coming through. Very exciting!

Good point. The inconsistency of referees at this level is infuriating. How Crofts tackle is a red card and that is not even a free kick is beyond me!

We haven't seen him play in the right system. I'm really hopeful he won't be so isolated in the new system (even Ulloa had that problem and he's now a Premier League player) and will get more chance to play to his strengths. We'll see anyway. Maybe you're right and it's just the fact that I...
