It doesn't bother me if we go down because this new squad will steamroller the Championship. We'll still have a full house every home game plus the parachute payments so the drop in finances should not be too severe. Then it's onwards and upwards

We used to say that John McGrath had a head like a threepenny bit. It wasn't because he couldn't win headers you just never knew where they were going to end up

He's too young to have so much money. They think that it buys everything and everybody. Hope the girls is okay and that people like him are kicked out of football

I thought his England performances really went down hill to the point where I couldn't see why he was picked

If teams let us sign players which will keep us up it means we will become a threat to them sooner rather than later. For that reason the top six won't be looking to assist us in any way. We already have the referees with a mandate to award us nothing and so it goes on

Loan deals tend to happen towards the end of the transfer window

He has the ability to adjust his game if things aren't working as he did during the first half. A world class defender

Raphina has turned a lot of defenders inside out

The whole team were immense today. Just need to stop ASM from having petulant strops and sitting on his arse. Wood made some really good flick one today, Someone like Linguard could feed off those

Only 23 points from the top 4 now.

Dreading this today

I don't believe his mandate was just to keep us up. After he was appointed Amanda spoke about the possibilities of relegation and that Howe had a lot of experience with getting a side promoted. If he keeps us up it'll be a massive bonus but this team has been on a massive downwards slide for over 2 years. Some of these players should have been replaced years ago and most of them will never get into another PL side.

If we are to have any chance staying up then we need players in now. They may not be our first choice players but they need to improve on what we have. Amanda and co are fully aware of that and they also know how difficult the January window can be. I'm sure they will be working furiously in the background to try and make things happen and it's crazy to criticize them at this point. Wood may not keep us up but he may just keep Burnley down

The better teams are able to keep the ball for 20/30 passes without the opposition getting a touch. If we manage 3 passes before losing it it's a miracle. As said before, Willock doesn't seem to fit In with possession based football.

Maybe Lascelles is pissed because they are looking to bring in 2 CBs

Under Bruce he said that he was told by Bruce to just run around a lot and get into the box. It would seem by this that he was treated a bit like ASM with no actual positional responsibility

Leeds seem to create a load of chances and if they have a day where they are putting them away we could get hammered

I think I read somewhere that one of the conditions of Jones joining us was that if there was a takeover and Bruce was sacked then he would be kept on in some sort of capacity

He only passes the ball when it's his last option. Great goal but so many times he destroys the build up. Despite what he says he's only interested in himself. Wins are great for the team but only when he is the hero. Sadly we can't drop him because we have no one else capable

Trippier acted more like the captain yesterday. Constantly shouting instructions to those around him while Lascelles was planning on giving the ball away

Hardly noticed he was on the pitch until he blazed a decent chance over the bar. It's like playing with 10 men

He tried to lose the game several times with loose passes. If he's not replaced one the week or so we are down

Can't really get much better than that.
