It has to be an improvement on where we would be at this current time if we hadn't signed Rushworth or someone of his quality. Come January we can cross that bridge when/if it happens. Apparently we tried to sign Rushworth but they wouldn't sell. Not much we can do about that if no other...

This is what I meant in post 72 of this thread. Some players have benefitted massively one way or another since FL became manager and some haven't. One poster suggested I was blaming the manager, it's not as simple as that but you have to ask whether under different circumstances, and/or a...

That would suggest we are happy to spend money for the sake of it.

Seems like those odds have disappeared from Oddschecker

Is betting closed now?

Strachan and Wise both played for us at age 40.

It's mandatory to have a captain on the field during the game, and to be identified by the armband.

Hmm 46 x 3 At least you could have made it look like you had put some thought into it. 🤣

their forwards look too embarrassed to press our keeper now

OK, didn't realise there was no VAR but offside covers any part of the body, not just feet, so Haji's head or shoulder looks the furthest forward on that shot to me.

Don't think it would have counted anyway, Haji looked offside

Well FL didn't think he was a disgrace otherwise Haji wouldn't have played the full game including extra time. We had unused subs in Simms and Paterson, the latter could have come on with BTA playing the central role.

No I'm not blaming anyone, including the manager, just pointing out that different players have possibly had different treatment, that's really in FL's own words, either actual or coded, and I was careful not to state anything as fact, as some posters on here do. It's common sense that a player...

But Ronnie Rees is one example of a winger from that era, (although a few years earlier) who scored as many in half the games Hutchison played.

You only have to look at what has happened with Rudoni since FL joined to see why Bassette hasn't developed in a similar way. In Lampard's own words he has enjoyed one-to-one working with Rudoni, who has benefitted massively and responded well. As far as I know FL has made no such comments...

It's clear to see from that clip that Bassette has the raw ability to be a very good player. IMO I don't think he is FL's type of character, and he has gone backwards massively since MR went. What he needed was a run of games and some good mentoring and coaching, either here or a carefully...

Yes, he averaged just over 3 goals a season for us, and throughout his career, based roughly on current games per season.

It's easier for lower end teams to find and attract players, because there are more players available who are better than what they have already. Simple really.

You can't judge it on how often you take points off another team, we were pretty much guaranteed points from Sunderland each season, now they are a premier league team.

Well, all we do know with a reasonable amount of certainty is they turned down £5.5M, that doesn't mean they won't sell him.
