Vik Gyokeres is one of the best strikers in world football. Haji, with respect, is playing for a Championship team in his prime years. Haji has also played a decent chunk at LW and I’ve pointed out many times he’s always scored more playing ST (shock). Haji is a brilliant striker us and just...

Plenty of time before then, we don't have to worry about them until we've (hopefully) secured automatic promotion. Watford, depends on how they cope with AFCON, if they're in the mix for playoffs/autos or in midtable purgatory. It'll be a good game if its the former! You’ve moving the goal...

Last season, I'm pretty sure he missed a lot of preseason that summer. When he joined in 23/24, it was at the start of the Norwegian preseason and it was pretty clear he wasn't primed to play. I don't get the formats of the other leagues he's played in but looks like he played in most of the...

Cap cheater 👀

He’s missed 2 games all season… Same as Sakamoto and Haji. Sheaf coming back from injury, being subbed on a subbed off after 7 minutes… or getting injured kicking a ball, that’s being made of glass. Torp’s last injury was v Pompey where he got hacked down by a nasty challenge doing a turn on...

It’s what Stoke did, and we managed that game v well. They had one good chance and that was it.

That’s harsh on Eccles, Lampard has praised him publicly several times. He’s been struggling with niggly injuries in recent months and this has been overlooked by many on here. Eccles would start for most teams in this division and he’s 3rd choice with us. I say that as someone who’s more of a...

We’ve been able to hit teams on the counter attack more away from home. To pick out a few goals: - EMC v Derby & Wrexham - BTA v Pompey - KKH & Simms v Millwall - Simms v Sheff W There’s more, but these were all goals we’ve hit team on the counter being almost route one football. At home we...

Exactly and Watford are actually a good team, they’ll be up in and around the playoffs come May. Having several players out for AFCON however is potentially debilitating. We’re not fitting in Louza, Torp, Rudoni and Grimes in the same team. None of those players are rotation players in the...

Where dos Louza fit in? Clearly a top end player in this league but unless he’s definitely displacing Torp/Rudoni, it’s not a goer imo. Jimmy’s source reckons we’re looking at a midfielder from Europe which strikes me as a more realistic market to look at. Watford lose 4 players to AFCON...

Correct, they play Leicester x2, Boro and Birmingham in December.

We play Derby in April, this news doesn’t affect us…

To add to your point, we’ve not conceded first in any of our away games which is huge. We’ve conceded first 3 times at home. Frankly, we should’ve won all 3 of those! Let’s hope that away form serves us well in the next 3 (Boro, Ipswich, PNE).

In relation to ourselves, I don’t think it’s too early to say we’re going to fighting for automation promotion this season. Lampard has been averaging around 2 PPG since he’s took over. The hype is real.

WBA’s recent form had nothing to do with them not selling out…

Has it? They stand to annex 3-4 regions of eastern Ukraine to connect the mainland to Crimea. It’s come at tremendous cost and perhaps that has longer term ramifications (like Soviet-Afghan war)… In short, just because they didn’t achieve maximalist aims, doesn’t mean they haven’t won.

Lol, hypocrites.

A win tomorrow and he moves up to 2 PPG on the dot. It goes without saying that he came in such difficult circumstances and took a while to get his methods coached into the team as well as injuries to key players at the time. All things considered, this season isn’t a fluke. It’s real and if...

My critique is that Europe and the US have allowed this conflict to become frozen. The possibility of a Ukrainian victory is remote. Europe can pontificate about the peace plan being in Putin’s favour and so on but at this point, what is the alternative? Russia has ‘won’ the war and unless...

What would you have done differently in response to the invasion? From whose perspective? In any case, a few things would’ve helped the Ukrainians: - cut off economic ties with Russia in full - don’t delay getting arms to Ukraine (Germany delayed shipments and at times blocked export of...
