I almost missed that complete lie of a first sentence, this forum is the most accomodating and mature online platform to discuss this club around. Compared to Twitter, Facebook, 606 or anywhere else, it's great. Don't spout mistruths to get cheap likes without expecting to be brought up on it.

Wrong. It’s full of tarts who are constantly on the verge of a leppy fit. Zero perspective. You had people practically self-harming in the Fulham thread when the team was announced. Maddening stuff from a fanbase who were holding up banners saying “we don’t demand a team that wins” a few years ago.

So in your opinion this place is worse than Twitter, Facebook 606 etc.? Wow. Ok, big agree to disagree moment there.

Seems a decent enough lad and tries when he’s called on but not up to a prem first 11 standard. I’m sure he can still finish off his career at a top half championship club and do very well when he leaves.

I can be canny pessemistic and miserable at times, but the match day threads make me feel like Patch Adams by comparison. Just relentless moaning over nowt.

I’ve had to stop reading them if I can’t watch the game in favour of twitter updates which is a shame. 
 

Each to their own on how they watch football but there’s a few match day posters that just churn out a relentless stream of negativity about every slow pass or bad play. It started making the poor results feel even worse after 90 mins of scrolling through.

Well done to him for showing some improvement. He's still miles below the standard we require, but if he keeps on improving, he might become a useful squad player, at least until we've had enough windows to add depth.

 

As I've said before, seems like a top lad, so glad to see him progressing, and ultimately, it might see a move to a club at his level where he won't look quite so out of place on the pitch.

Who was that slightly harder tackling right back we had around the time we had Aaron Hughes? Murphy’s basically like him. He’ll give his all and with limited parameters and instructions a few games a season he’s okay. Problem is you can more easily accept a plodding trier in defence than attack.

I mean ... I don't even know what to say about this guy's last couple of games, because I can hardly believe how useful he's been.

 

Has always had some really decent attributes, but can just be so all over the place, and out of nowhere he's just come in and kind of pulled it all together and been quite consistent the last two outings.

 

Howe is something else man.

Agreed. Joelinton, Shelvey, Kraft, Almiron and now possibly Murphy. His ability to get a tune out of previously all but written off players is something else.

Fair play to the lad, he played well. Had completely given up on him, but is nice know that he can put up a performance. Depth Is vital if we want to go on a cup run..

Still needs upgrading imo- no coincidence that when Bruno was injured for 3 games and we relyed on the likes of Murphy and willock we didn’t win in 3 but now Bruno’s back we’ve won 2 in 3. Still go all out for Maddison in jan for me.

It's great to see him doing well. It shows the benefit of a good manager - but also playing with better players (Bruno makes everybody look better).

 

A run of form will restore value and make it more likely we will get interest from upper championship or even PL clubs like Bournemouth. It's at that point that you have to be ruthless and upgrade.

I've said it before, but I'd keep him, he's a good squad member.  With his pace he offers something different, especially coming off the bench when teams are pressing us and we need an outlet, or when we just need a tactical change.  And, totally irrelevant, but he's a toon supporter and he seems like a decent lad.
