I'd like 5M at least for Eccles due to the exorbitant rates some players are going for. We got really shafted with Simms and Wright and EMC and need to recoup some cash.

Exactly this. Allen's bicycle kick was closer to the target than Sheaf's easy chance in the first half which he skied miles wide. Sheaf's shooting is so poor and he dawdles on the ball, commits silly fouls, gives away possession and operates so close to Grimes and others and gets in their way...

Answered above by Shmmeee. Torp is more of an AM than a CM. Also if you're saying Torp is equal to or better than Hamer then, you're mistaken.

We need: 1) GK: Get rid of Collins. 2) ST: Get rid of any of our strikers and find better replacements. Very disappointed with what we have as they are too inconsistent. 3) CM: We still need a Gus 2.0 who can ping passes, win balls in midfield and chip in with some goals. Get rid of Sheaf 4)...

To beat the low block and destabilise the opposing defence, you need to: 1) Raise the tempo and play quick 1 or 2 touch passes in triangles around opposing players or play direct forward passes to exploit half spaces behind opposing players 2) Players must move quickly forward or sideways (to...

If you listened to all the prematch interviews, FL was talking about 3 more games. I think everyone looked past Sunderland to to Wembley and the complacency showed when many were not at their best and shocked to see Sunderland play the low block. That's poor planning on the team's part imho...

Clive asked him the same question in the interview yesterday, but FL said the players were different for Derby. He apparently doesn’t have a plan B.

If it’s remotely feasible I’d like to do a player exchange with Norwich of Wright and Simms for Sargent and Sainz. I might throw in stepover king EMC or BTA to sweeten the deal.

Paterson deserves a chance. Maybe he can fashion something. Clutching at straws at this point to find an answer.

Put competent and hungry players who have a point to prove and a system that works. Problem is how to implement that by Tuesday? Wright is lazy, Simms lacks confidence, BTA lacks height and has limited ability, Sheaf dawdles and can’t get a shot on target to save his life. Also FL has no idea...

If they sit in a low block, they’re more likely to get that 1 goal. All they have to do is wait for our inevitable mistake.

Knock to his confidence. He's been playing with that injury for awhile now.

They won and calling their midfield ghosts doesn't make sense. They executed their game plan well and won. We were the ghosts as we didn't show up. Hope we come to life in the second leg.

I'm fuming that MVE didn't catch a glimpse of Mayenda waiting to pick off the back pass. It was so obvious.

So are you saying Simms is the reason we lost? He's done nothing in weeks.

I think FL picked the team based on how we ended the Boro match. But one thing he has not been able to figure out all season long is how to unlock teams playing the low block. That is his and the team's downfall. No incisive passing at all. Too many sideways and backward passing. Also I think...

Can we at least take the lead on the road where our form has been awful? I think that is the question.

The going is good for them isn't it?

They are just going to sit deep in a low block, waste time and shithouse for 90 mins in the second leg. And their fans are going to be behind them.

Embarrassing performance and what a lousy pass from MVE (as bad a mistake as Dickie's for Bristol C yesterday).
