Watching the highlights back and there are multiple occasions when Kitching fails to deal with the threat, including their goal. I’m fine with keeping him, but I really think a better starting CB would do more for this team than any new LB, ST or even GK.

I like Eccles a lot and hope he stays, but if Lampard isn’t going to give him much game time then both parties would be foolish not to explore a transfer away, he’s a valuable asset in this league.

The whole purpose of VAR is to try and make sure that refs are consistent and get it right. The current guidance is not to put the flag up unless the linesman is certain it’s offside. If we want to make that even more subjective then I don’t see why we don’t just let the human refs handle...

With all due respect to Gloucester, I would hope our bar is a little higher than the one set by their manager for 21 year-old keepers.

Based on what?

I’ll say it again (and as someone who truly despises VAR) - the way this incident has been spun into an avoidable disaster caused by VAR is crazy, considering the player wasn’t even subbed off after suffering an injury that would end up putting him into a coma.

Or in other words, change the rules so they’re not applied consistently but subjectively?

You never had a cup o’beans, man?

Posting a Gemini AI overview in lieu of an argument shows that we are truly dealing with the biggest brains the British conservative movement has to offer.

His aerial stats are great but his other stats are pretty rancid. If we’re going to be a pure route 1 team next season then I could see it, but I think we’re a bit more sophisticated than that - we are not going to play the way we did against Sunderland every week. We didn’t even play that way...

Don’t think anyone can seriously argue otherwise at this point

“stupid to right off” is peak performance in action, this is why your legacy endures.

Wouldn’t want anyone to think you’re going soft!

The decision to pay Binks in OpenAI stock options instead of sterling has really backfired

I’m taking this with the usual pillar of salt, but assuming this is true and the “few” who spoke to him weren’t no-marks like Sky Blue Sam or Richard Overson, then surely there’s no way back for him from that.

Call me old fashioned, but if we’re going to spend £2m+ on a player, I’d hope to see some return on that investment before we hit the next US election cycle.

He did start games and led the line - very badly, as it turned out. He reportedly cost similar to BTA, which is ridiculous when you compare both their career track records and their output this season. Loan him out next season and then it’s 2026/27 at the earliest before he’s ready to...

I’d keep him as a backup LB. He clearly offers something different from most other players in that position, so a good bench option.

It’s a lot of questions marks for a player who reportedly cost a fair whack of money and who pretty much no one expects to contribute at all next season.

Bassette is heading to L1 or the Belgian leagues fast - he’s been a dire signing.
