Here we go again. Leeds fans made the same claim when we were rejecting their bids for Ben White, Arsenal fans were saying the same when they were in for Caicedo. It’s nonsense.
Ben White, Dan Burn, Yves Bissouma, Marc Cucurella, Neal Maupay, Leandro Trossard, Alexis Mac Allister. Just some of...
Scherpen is two years younger than Sanchez, and has barely played competitive football since joining us. He might not be a long term success but too early to write him off at this point, no?
Any good football we play is totally negated for me by our consistent inability to finish off even the most simplest of chances. Oh, and failing to win enough games, that too. Potter has a (slightly) less average wins % than Hughton. Points-per-match reading is 1.00 for Hughton, and 1.02 for...
The problem for the "In" crowd is that their basis for wanting Potter to remain is based on a lot of wish-thinking... "We're playing well, the wins will come" "Our xG is really good, eventually we'll start getting results". Some would argue that we're not even playing that well now, but either...
Quite staggering to see people agreeing with Simon Jordan here. His argument is that his perception of the channel is that it puts out toxic and negative content which harms the reputation of the football club. He even suggested that it should be shut down because he doesn't like it. It's a lie...
Extremely intelligent player, who can do everything you want a midfielder to do. Whilst I was content with his signing I only expected him to be on the bench most of the time, but for me he's one of the first names on the team sheet. Must be signed permanently.
Superb all night. Worked his socks off, always looked to get into good positions. Loved him screaming at Connolly when Connolly failed to slip him in, he cares so much and wants to do well. Delightful header, a fully deserved goal.
Superb win, superb performance. 20 shots away at Arsenal! Should have won more convincingly but no complaints from me, we fully deserved it.
One things that pisses me off is the BBC with the headline "Arsenal lose at home to Brighton", erm no, it was very much "Brighton deservedly win at...
Montoya's biggest problem? He's not Bruno. A prime Bruno would still be our RB even now... *sigh*.
A fully fit Bernardo is still our first choice LB, I would hope anyway. Take nothing away from Burn but as alluded to by others, we need some more pace in that area.
The regression occurred in the playing style and the results, no doubt. Relegation was increasingly looking inevitable as last season drew to a close. Thankfully Cardiff bottled it in those games against Fulham and Palace which meant we survived.
Baldock has never scored big in the Championship. Even in his best season (our promotion season) he only got 11. If you actually compare their scoring records in the Championship, Maupay has scored twice as many as Baldock in roughly the same amount of appearances (18 in 81 for Baldock at BHAFC...
From their website, seems that he has gone. To Brighton hopefully!

Google translated it to suggest that both players will be going out on loan, but it could be wrong. Not really bothered as long as we sign a decent striker!
An incoming striker from Celta de Vigo, possibly... probably NOT on loan as initially translated, perhaps a permanent deal?!

Everything that is wrong with the way English football is played is being demonstrated here. Totally wasteful in possession with a hoofball style being the only way we are able to play, poor decisions from every single player, lack of pace upfront and simply put - Technically not good enough...
