Would have thought Player-Coach/Assistant would work better at first but fair play. Will he actually end up playing himself though? He'd likely be their best defender but he can't really manage on the pitch

Thought we did much better there in the 4v4. They never really got close to us while in posession, but we were always looking like we'd nick it.

Bailey, Longstaff, Watts and Sorensen?

Turn it on, rangers take the piss and level easily.

Well, that's all the right positions at least. Though i'd really prefer "wing backs" to be the term used rather than full backs. Splitting hairs though.

I just hope I'm massively wrong but I just think Ashley comes across as the type of man who'd rather lose badly his own way than win by taking others advice. The man is just blind to logic.

Think he might just hate everything in the world?

No chance he stays now. Ashley won't bend in the slightest. It's his way or the highway. I think Ashley probably reckoned he could just break Rafa into staying on shit terms face to face.

There'll be a negative net spend.

I didn't get to watch Keegan's team but I know how good it was. Robson's team felt like a second chance almost to witness good football being played here in modern times after Keegan left. Can't underestimate the job Rafa and even Hughton himself did at giving us a chance to still save this club from itself, basically.

It's possibly because nearly every post you make is pure misery & negativity Lighten up Sad-Eyed Liam of the Lowlands, it ain't that hard to be happy Honestly most of the time I am. I think I just don't post when I'm enjoying it because we'll, I'm enjoying it so I don't see a need to, then I just vent when something annoys me My posts on here aren't really fully representative of what I think. And with this I honestly thought Schar had been out for longer. That might have been because he got suspended soon after aswell tbh.

I remembered him dropping out around the turn of the year. It might have been Clark who came in. I don't really care. I'm pro Rafa despite people trying to accuse me of being not. (Which subsequently makes people act like right cunts). At the point it just felt like Schar was seen as too wild. He definitely seemed to have a tendency to dive in and I honestly thought he was out for longer. He's first choice now anyway, so what does it matter?

It's clearly planted on our side so we can say "Well we didn't buy anyone but we did manage to hold onto Longstaff so it's a good window."

Imagine going from actual tactics straight to a manchild talking about the spirit of 99 and how great Fergie was constantly.

So that's every midfielder other than Ki going. Welcome back, Jack!

This game is so bad it makes Kenedy look good.

They've replenished that huge supply of luck after using it all up last 5 years.

Don't think McNeil is what we need right now, though he could understudy Ayoze and Almiron I suppose. Fraser would be incredible, so much talent there.

Rafa wanted to take him back out once Lejeune came back. Used Dummett ahead of Schar at first until Blackburn away where Schar ran the game.

Did I just see someone give themselves as right for Rondon as top scorer?

Wouldn't surprise me if Ashley tried to replace him with Hughton now he's available in the hope he'll placate fans because he was popular here and has proven to be a merry go round option.

I kind of want to keep Gayle if possible. I don't see us buying two strikers and I can't deal with Joselu as second choice. Plus if we have Rondon as first choice I'd want a different type of striker as an alternative. Come home Dwight.

I've noticed over the last seasons that my poor eyesight means I can't see the numbers on a striped back anymore

Fulham fell into the trap of buying an overrated English Centre back who doesn't actually defend well but can pass it a bit and didn't improve them at all. Just Tim Ream but English basically. That's why they went down. They bought in a lot of attackers and under Slakisa they attacked well. But they didn't buy any decent defenders and it cost them.

Get behind Poyet and the lads man.
