Played one full season for us in which we were relegated

I’ve seen plenty of Cov sides win things without a good keeper

I know Collins had a stinker last night, but come on - this is absurd.

I’m pretty sure we won’t upgrade in all of them. We will need to prioritise somewhere, and while no-one wants to admit it the morning after a horror show from the keeper, you will get more upside from every other position on the pitch. Strong sides with middling keepers can still compete -...

How about upgrading the outfield squad first? We currently have as many backup goalkeepers as we do backup centre-halfs - and people are not only confused as to why we’re shipping goals, but they’re saying the answer is we need another keeper instead?

Westwood was great but we achieved absolutely nothing during his time here because the rest of the side was crap. The money needs to be focused outfield.

No point investing millions in a keeper if their CBs are going to play back passes like the one before their third goal. Collins had a horrible game, but the money needs to be spent on the players in front of him.

What on earth are you talking about?

This is exactly how I feel about it. I want us to get promoted for the celebrations, the sense of accomplishment, and for Robins and the team. The stuff that comes afterwards would just be a circus. Objectively speaking I think it’s much more fun being a Championship fan than a Premier League...

Just want to say to all the real fans - don’t give up. The naysayers may say there’s no chance of replaying the game, or Man United willingly giving us millions of pounds. But I think we’re only four, maybe five more screenshots of the offside call away from a real breakthrough here.

Doesn’t have to be Call it extreme if you like, but I propose we hit it hard and fast with a major, and I mean major leafleting campaign

Like the angry mobs turning up outside paediatrician clinics

So we spend £2 million on a keeper last summer instead - who do you send home out of Sakamoto or Bobby Thomas?

No chance of controversy or corruption allegations here!

Which of the other new signings would you do without instead? He won’t come cheap. Collins is perfectly capable - you don’t need a top goalkeeper to compete in this division, throwing resources at one is pointless if your outfield squad isn’t up to scratch.

And your foolproof definition of “clearly wrong” is what? VAR will not stop its operators from making mistakes, and the world will not stop turning when referees do fuck up. All we’re arguing about is who the various man-children online should be directing their anger towards when these...

And we never heard of a VAR controversy ever again… Listen to yourself.

I assume you don’t have the same issue with goal-line technology, even though that’s not generally available until later in the competition? The problem, as you point out, is that while goal-line technology actually solves the problem it was invented to fix, VAR doesn’t. The former allows us to...

There’s no issue with certain FA Cup games having different levels of technology available at different levels of the tournament - that’s just a reality of the football pyramid, so long as you’re playing by the same rules it’s fine. By saying that VAR should be used always or not at all, you’re...
