Re: We are safe so who would you keep

one of my guilty secrets is that I quite admire Eastleigh. I haven't seen that much of them but they have a "pragmatism" and toughness that we seem to lack. Their first goal against us was really good (the counter attack), and while we did assist in our own downfall, that was partly becaus...

Perfect hatrick for boreham wood player. 2 own goals and pops up with a 96th minute winner
Wow. Be interested to see the highlights, that's a hell of a story. Fair play to him.

Re: Hold our heads high

There were quite a lot of Leeds at our place. I think they have a decent southern following.

Hold our heads high

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/na ... s-fixtures

Sutton 1-2 Leeds u21

We lost to the eventual winners....

(yes I am being sarcastic)

Fair play to Leeds though, they were very good at our place.

What a long and winding road to nowhere it's all been.

Re: We are safe so who would you keep

I think everyone can see the physical strength thing. Maja looked like he had some presence then got injured again and didn't really find his sea legs. So much of it is this silly 3412 or whatever he thinks he's doing though. Means we have more centre backs than we need, but can't shield them, and m...

Re: Team v Yeovil

Wembley xi Marcus Armitage, someone (Ellison scaring me atm), Woodhouse Aj right wing back Someone left wing back (don't like frost there) Hargreaves, Tetek and someone in the middle (need three), could be Frost if you go with Corbett on left Barham and Barrett up top. So I don't know what you do v...

Re: We are safe so who would you keep

I would obviously see it as a priority to add Barham to the list above. The rest need a long hard look. I think I'd come down on the side of keeping: Akpan Anderson Jones A Scott That would be 12 players which feels like about the right number given that we've been worse this season than last. I fi...

Re: Liverpool Champions

I was in Prague just before this season started. Slavia were running a big advertising campaign at tube stations, pushing season tickets. Whist European club shirts were more common in shops, Slavia stuff was present. Shortly after that I went to Palermo (a wonderful place.) The tourist tat shops w...

Re: Build From The Back

Do not understand how we haven't played a formation that our squad would be able to handle like a basic 4-4-2. Or at least sometimes when we can see our formation is not working. Way to many times we've been so exposed because we do not have the right players for this formation we play. Tommy hasn'...

Re: Liverpool Champions

If you grew up in the 70's when six different clubs won the title during the decade and QPR came within a whisker, the PL is incredibly boring and predictable with only a few sides thinking they might win it. And apart from that, you had the FA Cup which was still a major competition and on a par w...

Re: Liverpool Champions

Obviously a different level but Liverpool's midfield just shows what we're lacking. You want your absolute best players in the middle of the pitch. I know people give all the credit to salah and van dijk but you can't overlook what they had in the engine room. I think mac allister is insanely good
