COWARD

Aye. People can say what yhey want about bedding in players but we really cannot afford it like

Might aswell just cancel the match.

Nailed on to score. Bruno with the assist.

I agree like, time usually turns monsters like Alan Pardew and Ted Bundy into cult heroes.

Pardew had the likes of Cabaye, Hatem, Tiote, Debuchy, Colo, Sissoko, Perez, Remy, Cisse, Colback etc As well as a bunch of other players who, under a different manager, might have had better careers here.

I just cannot understand why anyone would actually want Roy Keane

Regarding Joelinton up top, there's ways to probably make it work like but he would need goalscorers around him, which we don't really have.

Really happy with this, he's the one I wanted after going on a hunt after he was first linked. A bit shit for Brighton though, I wish we'd poached the technical director of a less likeable club They seem to do a lot of things right though so will probably replace him with someone who works out even better.

Potter is a manager who will only get better with time imo. His style of football isn't really suited to a midtable side, he needs players who are comfortable dominating games. If Brighton's player quality continues upwards I think he'll flourish. If Pep took over a side like Brighton you'd probably be seeing a lot of high possession stats and draws.

aye I'm sure Stavely would be happy with that like.

I was thinking the exact same.

Aye, it's another annoying thing those dopey 30 year old TikTok/Youtube gimps have fed into the lexicon via their 10 year old followers.

I think Prophet is right like. You're looking at what the 4th team needed to survive, not what you would need to survive if you were to replace the 3rd team. I mean you can do both to find out different things, but in this case we're assuming that we aren't one of the bottom sides so will be replacing a team from 17th and up.

What's the craic with Lampard like? In theory he seems to have a decent plan. Maybe it's just my bias towards possitive managers but an attacking 3-4-3 can be hard to deal with.

I'm not sure on the calculation at this point but it'll deffinitely be a lot lower than 40 like. Pretty sure 40+ has only happened once or twice?

Yeah I get that, but where we're currently at, having all 3 seems like it would be hard, atleast the money could probably be spent improving other areas of the pitch. In a few years we will hopefully be able to carry 2 quality players in each position but I think we'd be best off trying to cover with youth talent who will be cheaper and more willing to sit on the bench. I get the feeling a lot of people are happy to sacrifice Joelinton from the side in the summer but I think it would be a massive mistake personally.

Think I'd rather we brought a young CDM in tbh, Bissouma would be expected to start which makes our midfield options clunkier than I believe they should be at the minute. Bissouma, Joelinton and Bruno would be pretty hard to maintain when all are fit.

I'm more onabout businesses in the same space having to catch up. So if Man City and Arsenal, for example were to also join, other teams might follow until every team in the league feels they need to do the same. It may not work like that in reality though, fuck knows. And like £16 a week (minus tax) is objectively not a lot of money, but for someone on the bones of their arse it could deffinitely help. It would probably completely cover any media subscriptions someone would take for example. By no means do I think it's some great, noble thing or out like. It's obviously still appauling

Aye, it's still a poor wage but atleast it brings people to a level where it's starting to make more sense them going to work than just signing on the dole. I suppose the reason for joining the scheme is ultimately a PR move, but it puts pressure on other businesses to do the same, more so than if we just started paying a fairer wage off our own backs.

Aye, my biggest hope from the transfer was that any half decent forward who can play out wide and likes to press should theoretically improve us. It was a lot of money though and we could probably spend it better in the Summer if we stay up.

It's not a standard transfer though. He's one of the highest rated young players in Europe at the minute due to his form this season (whether deserved or not) and has teams like PSG apparently talking about him. If he continues his training and form at Reims that will only go up and he will probably be thinking he can choose his own career. Going to the Premier League is obviously a risk for him. Especially to a club like us who don't really have the facilities or track record in dealing with young players. If he doesn't take off immediately here he'd be putting his career back.

How are Everton likely to line-up? Similar to Brentford will Alli coming in for Gordon?

So did the players.

Bruno will have a Tiote/Ben Arfa debut against them. Nowt to worry.
