Klaus

We need to get a few 'surprise' results if we are going to stay up. This could be it.

wut

He's 34, he won't have the energy to get back and make all those tackles imo.

Remember hearing Allardyce push that viewpoint as well. The very cheek of that footballing dinosaur, criticising Rafa man

and if we go down, those same players will be kept on even longer.

This place has been infiltrated by some right knuckle draggers recently.

Purely hypothetical obviously, but If you could get rid of Howe today and get Rafa back as manager, would you?

He was all set to work with our new owners as well, but sadly the takeover didn't happen.

Would take him back in a heartbeat.

1 win in 20 games Enough said.

Cut above this lad. You can tell, despite the shite around him. He's not tall, but wins most headers and his positioning is good. His key defensive abilities are not always praised like they should be.

Disagree, i think the new look Joelinton in midfield is class tbh . Sadly he is making up for the lack of graft from the two plodders near him who are stealing a living.

Wigan are fourth with 5 games in hand mind. They might struggle to get automatic promotion now

The only player who has clearly improved under him is Joelinton. Not convinced about anyone else. I like him and want him to succeed, but so far it hasn't been good enough.

This is the key. We need more from our CMs and sadly both this lad and Shelvey are passengers.

Another absent performance.

Get rid of this donkey ASAP.

Is he suggesting in the second half of that tweet that he isn't very good?

3 threads at the top of the forum with 3 separate transfer rumours of 20M + What is this sorcery?

We were always going to struggle to get top players, considering the position we are in. Also people questioning the fee how much would a guaranteed 20 goal a season PL striker cost?

Grant Hanley is our Grant Hanley

The owners seem to be proactive at least. He isn't exactly a Hollywood dream signing, but can finish and will be ideal for us in the short term.

We probably still have a thread for Dirk Kuyt somewhere

The irony being, Adam Johnson might literally have had blood on his hands.

I think our awful defence has exposed him as an average keeper at best. No excuses for spilling the ball when they scored, and the mistakes are far too frequent nowadays.
