Just stuck a small amount on Alonso to be carded. Can see it happening if they stay 1-0 up for much longer.

I've got Alzate & Jorginho but can't see any cards being dished out at all here.

Based on absolutely nothing at all.

What the hell do we do if we have Wilson, Wood and Zupata available for selection

Martinez hahahahahaha

With so many players out of contract in the summer it has never been more important to survive relegation. That being said, there should be a healthy amount of players available to those with the financial clout in the Championship, so you'd like to think we'd be able to make those Ritchie and Gayle type signings again. Either way it's going to be an interesting summer.

We've been linked with plenty of CB's but signed none of them.

Hard to disagree with any of that. I used to think Ciaran Clark was massively underrated

Must be difficult for him when our tactics are "get the ball to ASM as quickly as possible and hope he provides some front foot attacking fret", given that ASM is not an out and out winger, and crosses the ball as a last resort.

I completely agree, except for the fact that I think relegation is absolutely nailed on at this stage without 2 or 3 great signings.

You can't completely discount it just because it was two levels below, whatever the level you've got to grab the entire club by the scruff of the neck. In some ways it's more difficult at a lower level due to the lack of resources available to you.

Isn't this exactly what he did at Bournemouth?

Indefensible at home against this shower of shite tbh. Why was that Man Utd game an anomaly ffs, we've literally added one massive upgrade to that side.

Stop asking for too much, you delusional, demanding Geordie, you

No I'm not. The team doesn't need to do a 180, we're not cut adrift from the team in 17th and we never have been. We literally just need a bit of a lift and some tactical direction and he hasn't provided either.

Had on, I'm not exactly blaming Howe for the last 14 years, but he's not exactly the saviour that some people have made him out to be. In truth we've seen little to nothing from him in terms of changing the way we play (we literally just press a bit higher, no other changes). He's been underwhelming to say the least.

We've literally failed to beat Norwich and Watford at home. We may as well have held onto Bruce at this rate.

Aah okay, Eddie Howe is mint and the league table is lying.

Absolute cack, this.

He's not wrong though.

Good job they're shite

Sub Lascelles ffs

Howay Joe ffs

Odds are shite but I went for Rodri and Rudiger (not Alonso!) at around 14/1. Pawson's canny for cards, isn't he?

Sissoko and Ritchie yellows at 18/1
