OverThere

I think he can be an elite finisher but he isn't showing that consistently at present. The question is can he be consistently, and the jury is out on that one.

I said the ficker is never fit but we haven't tried to replace him. Big mistake. Both Isak and Gordon are poor finishers for bread and butter chances.

Wilson is a far better finisher than anyone else we have and he is both vital to the team and clearly unreliable health wise. I think we have to get Osula up and running or we have to buy someone who can finish to complement the squad.

Agree and they miss some sitters unfortunately. There were 2 against WH that you would expect a bang average player to score.

Both goals he was absent. Reminds me of Bramble, which is good stuff completely undone by disastrous moments.

Hmmm. Is Botman back before BDB? We won't do much playing Kelly and Schar together. Kelly was really, really bad.

Kelly is tragic. Titus Bramble was better

Strained a hammy picking up his paycheck?

I wonder if the club will make extra dough by selling off bits of SJP, like a seat or a piece of concrete?

Score one against Wet Spam, who have seen him score in almost every game against them and then put in a cheeky 10M bid over Christmas and we get some money back.... he the ricks back/groin/hamstring/knee/pectoral in his first game for them.

He could be the 8th option CB

Ref missed a whole bunch of nasty ass tackles especially from that winnet Yates.

Well done lad, great performance, keep it up!!! Very happy for Longstaff, and it's just better when we have a Geordie in the team.

Unless Eddie went bonkers and it's 4-4-2

Is he playing Widow Twanky at the Theater Royal this Christmas? We may as well get some use out of him.

Hopefully he gets to play in a wide role and we can see if there is anything there in terms of a prospect

Well we now have a shop. Now just waiting on the stadium, academy and training ground. Maybe they are doing a feasibility study to find out if a feasibility study is feasible?

Correct. If you look at Brighton the manager/coach is somewhat interchangeable because the DOF has set out the strategy for the club. We shouldnt be in the position that we only have 1 serviceable striker, aging CBs and no PL level RW.

Maybe it's a double bluff and he will come bounding onto the field this weekend like Lazarus from the grave.

Not surprised. The project has stalled and the only way around that as things stand is to sell Isak, buy a number of prospects and hope they improve the squad as a whole so we are challenging for "something".

FFP is a load of bollocks. You could write a 1 line rule for finances.... "Each team is allowed a cap of x per season for transfers and salaries" That would be that and would be the same for every team, including the "Big Six".

This is an odd convo given almost all the problems are down to poor finishing by the forwards

Crystal Palace doing well this year, bwhahahha

Weak goalkeeping but it was well placed. Maybe we can flog Forest Wilson, as they seem to be collecting a large NUFC contingency.

Poor execution cost is yesterday and at Everton. We are actually playing pretty well with the exception of finishing chances. This whole Wilson situation is excruciating because he is preventing us from having a #2 forward.
