I think we are at a point where we need freshen things up and not just add to the existing group. If we can move 2 or 3 on and bring 4 or 5 in then that should give us the quality and quantity needed if done right.

Our run in isn’t too bad at all, we should be looking to win 10 of the remaining games if we sort ourselves out. 6th should be the target but we need others to fall apart if we want 5th.

Pointing out the historic failings of another clubs manager would be a pointless unless he hasn’t learned from them, which it would be difficult to argue that Pep hasn’t considering he us put together the best side in world football. Slight difference between that and continuing to play Dan Burn against quick wide men knowing the opposition manager will target him as a weak link, then failing to learn from it. I can change the language to one less likely to hurt your feelings but the point still stands.

I think it’s a fair comment to make about how the Saudi’s will react, if people don’t say it then it won’t make it less of a reality. I have a lot of time for Howe and want a successful club with him as manager; however, we have to be able to discuss his failings and hope he can learn from them.

Stop being so negative.

I can see us going for Lloyd Kelly at left back on a free transfer, who is currently linked with Spurs and Liverpool. The only concern about him is his injury record.

Other than on match day when emotions are high, this thread usually consists of people making fair criticisms or voicing concerns they have about the team, tactics or results. The opposite side of that is people who don’t seem to be able to handle such opinions being voiced and get defensive about it, they don’t challenge the opinion but the fact someone has had the audacity to raise it, who wants to paint a picture of everything being perfect after we pick up a victory and that those criticisms cannot be valid due to us winning. ”Go and support Man City then” Fucking hell.?

I went to the Notts County vs Gillingham game last night, then stopped the night in Nottingham before driving to Lincoln to watch their game with Fleetwood this afternoon.

I don’t think it’s a case of being a Champions League team at announcement and the other one wasn’t, there is a feeling that PIF want to make us one of the most successful clubs in the world which is why Adidas wanted in, which will be reflected in the deal and comes at a cost. All I’ve been told is that a lot of work went in to securing the deal with us by adidas and that Nike were also in contention, that they worked hard to keep the news from coming out. Where as with Villa it was an unexpected opportunity that came along.

We should beat these comfortably, they have only won once at home in the last 3 months in all competitions in normal time. Included in that they were taken to penalties after extra time in the week by a mid table championship side and drew with a league one side. They are shite.

I don’t think we are many bad performances away from the crowd turning on him at home. If we hadn’t pulled it back against Luton it would have been hostile at the end.

Would Spurs support it? I’m presuming their debt repayments for their stadium would have to be included.

He’s on loan at Girona from Troyes.

Camera angle looks like a game of FIFA.

He wasn’t shocking, he took over at Bournemouth when they were one of the favourites to go down and managed to keep them up. The Bournemouth fans didn’t think he was the person to take them forward through, which is fair considering the football they played wasn’t great. Potentially he could have replicated the football he is playing now at Wolves with Bournemouth if he had stayed this season.

Howe understandably had a pass for the run of poor results due to the number injuries we had but with the likes of Wilson, Barnes, Livramento and Hall on the bench, that can’t be used as an excuse anymore. If we have many more performances and results like that against teams batting relegation then I wouldn’t be surprised to see him replaced in the summer.

What a great manager Rob Edwards is by the way. I hope he can make the step up when the opportunity comes his way.

Burn made the exact same foul in the first half but the player stayed on his feet. Opposition managers target him as the vulnerable link in our defence yet we persevere with him every week over Livramento and Hall.

Why are we letting them pass it around without pressure? Dreadful.

The only player we have bursting through the middle is a centre back.

Such a casual finish. Superb.

Plenty of time but Luton will keep coming at us.

If it stays the same then today will be the first game the crowd turns on him.

Burn is a liability

Schar gave up getting back for their second.
