Definately sperming too many chances.

Have you ever been to Anfield? It is like a morgue a lot of the time. The Kops reputation is largely built on televised European nights.

Hamer gets forward even when playing a deep mid role. Why change the fit experienced regulars from their normal roles?

Burroughs, JWE, I see no reason why you couldnt consider Panzo on left of midfield or LWB? I think Bidwell is skilled enough to play LWB or LM in the circumstances. These arent ideal but why play 3 up front if you cant get the ball to them? Unless you want to abandon our passing game and...

Huddersfield are well organised and their shape is good. Even at home they will sit deep and play on the counter. I dont see the point of playing three up front. You need to win the midfield then draw them out with possession. This is a tricky technical game. Unless we score early I can see...

Of course he might have done an ACL before the end of the season. Nothing is certain in football. Selling in the summer (if he continues his form and development) at the momement seems the sensible option. However there is a possibility him and his agent could sit it all out and he goes for...

I think a lot of the Waghorn and Maguire wage will be more or less the same budget? So likely to be more or less one wage rather than two. The question is can the budget freed up by releasing players be spent more productively? But I also still feel there needs to be an increase in the first...

Poor Walker. He has hardly had a chance to prove anything this season with injuries. Lets give him some time to find some form. He is a different type of striker to Gyokores and Godden, just as O'Hare, Palmer and Allen are different types of midfield player. We have to go with the players we...

It is not uncommon to see chances squandered, even in the Premiership, because players try to hit the ball too hard. The first step to scoring is hit the target. I think it was Jimmy Greaves who used to say, "I used to just pass the ball into the net."

I also heard a ex top striker recently (can't remeber who) say when he was off form he never did extra shooting practice. All you do is replicate bad habits. He saved extra shooting practice for when he was confident and on form. Which I found an interesting take.

I thought he was looking good early this season and then got injured. At the end of the day football owes players nothing and gives you nothing on a plate. Players make it through hardwork and a little bit of luck. When your opportunity comes you have to be ready to take it. When the luck...

Well we might not agree with the laws - but we can't criticise the ref for applying the law correctly.

Last night the ref played a couple good advantages for us. But on both occassions the fouls merited bookings. Then he books two of our players which for less cynical fouls.

They do shooting practice all the time. Its also part of the warm up pre match. Problem is it doesnt replicate the game situation. O'Hare would score for fun pre match, during the game he could hardly hit a barn door.

It needs the players to articulate any pain or discomfort they are feeling. Robins and the physios can't feel it.

Robins said he has ability and is a good finisher but hasnt took the handbrake off yet. Basically needs to start training like he wants to be in the first team and earn the right to wear the shirt like the others.

Jonathan Hogg is more than capable of opening teams up with his range of passing. It is the strikers that seem weak.

It is not unusual for Managers to put half fit experienced players on the bench ahead of untried youngsters. Even if they dont really intended to use them, it makes the bench and options look stronger. It keeps the oposition Manager guessing about tactical options. However you are right, it...

Hey come on! The amount of researh he did for that article and spent ages thinking up the headline to go with it.

It was a poor performance. Gyokores looked leggy. Did he find a City player with a pass? I missed first 20 minutes but hardly saw Godden touch the ball? As usual when we play two up front we seem to concede the midfield a create fewer chances than when we play one upfront. But we got a point...
