https://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/17664652.albion-interested-in-portsmouths-matt-clarke/ Confirmation from the Argus that Clarke is on our radar - also, that Newcastle Midfielder Isaac Hayden remains of interest, though not our first choice for midfield strengthening.

Very sorry to hear that mate - all the best at a difficult time.

Great piece. I think you’ve captured the feeling of unease, almost as though you were betraying your king, that many including myself felt when Hughton was beginning to show real signs of falling apart. Your observations surrounding the vast changes in football over such a short period also ring...

Still undecided...I’ve been offered the Freedom of Swansea as part of my contract if I stay - I’m holding out for them to remove that clause.

Ha! I wish, would be an absolute dream job. Definitely happy to do more of these if people are interested, and indeed, hopefully next year I'm able to write up a piece on how we stunned Man City at the Etihad, or dominated Palace in our 0-4 win at Selhurst :wink::albion2:

All correct. My allusion to ‘winning the fans back’ was based on the general feeling of relief, that we had secured a huge point, stopped the slide and all but secured survival. My impression was that a lot of people’s desire for Hughton to go was results-based, it looked for a long time that we...

It’s possible - I think Pröpper definitely has the ability, we’d have to see it happen to know if can return the numbers we need. The importance of Groß probably shouldn’t be understated, he got a very impressive amount of assists+goals in his first season. Bissouma: I think one of his main...

I don’t really disagree with what you’ve said. My observation has been that without Groß, we’ve been unable to play with an originally favoured 4-4-1-1. (Interestingly however, Hughton began playing 4-3-3 with Groß as one of the midfield 3) The sideways and backwards you allude to is symptomatic...

:whistle:

Thank you - and I completely echo what you say re Izquierdo, in this game and in others, he has not been at effective at all. He simply didn’t pose enough of a threat to cause Newcastle any problems at all, so the issues we faced down the right with Groß also applied to our left side too. I’ve...

I’ve written an opinion piece/ tactical breakdown of the Newcastle game -discussing Hughton’s dismissal and why in Bloom’s eyes he was no longer the man to carry us forward. You can find the whole thing HERE...

Great article. Very astute and interesting observations about the wider implications of Hughton's dismissal.

Agreed. Significantly, there's not just a managerial change occurring - there will be adjustments to our recruitment strategy and subsequent personnel change, changes in our opposition, and changes in expectation.

How else will we take complete control on the pitch?

One of these for the away kit please :love::drool:

Current away kit (Green) will become our 'Alternate' kit. We will get a new home and away kit for next season. Slightly thinner stripes for the home kit please, and an all-black away kit.

Jack Straw before I am inundated with angry accusations at plagiarism, I would like to stress this is NOT my artwork :lolol: It is the supremely talented Exile 's, so all due praise please direct his way.

In amongst the drama of this morning, get reading folks - another excellent write up from Exile BRILLIANT illustration too :bowdown: For the ARTWORK lovers, you may be treated to another Bruno-inspired piece later on... I have my wonderful and talented other half on the case. Finally, a huge...
