  1. Has been a decent servant over the years, hopefully leaves with a treble won but his time was up. I wonder if Yfeko will be back up next season and the money saved used elsewhere. A commanding CB is more important than second choice LB imo.
  2. If he does the same as he did against Antwerp in the last ten minutes I'll call him whatever he wants 😂
  3. Won't be easy but can see us winning 2-1 with squeaky bum time for the last ten minutes.
  4. I take it more as they don't need an operation and will recover naturally as such which is normally not that long. A rest followed by some strengthening exercises. Hopefully we will have a few back after the break.
  5. Up there with any anti vaxxer 😂
  6. Never understood the diddy team mentality.
  7. It is basically the difference between growing, fitness and gaining strength. The two do go hand in hand to a degree but are not exclusive. A big fat guy can shrink and gain strength so size is obviously not everything. An easy example that most would know is that a scaffolder in his forties or fifties would beat the vast majority of men in their 20's at arm wrestling. He'd be fucked in a race though 😂
  8. As you say it is about maximising the chances of success in every competition. A proper manager adjusts his team, tactics and formation in order to do this. It doesn't need to mean a complete overhaul to do so either. If the likes of Wright isn't already on the pitch by time we are 3-0 up after an hour then he should be then. We need to keep the whole squad match fit anyway just because of our fixture list.
  9. I said in the thread about the mentality of our players that the same could be said about some of our support at times. Anyway I'm going for another successful step in our mission to increase the silverware count. Obviously we are going to have to take into account the injury situation and fixture list and adjust our tactics accordingly so we should be winning 2-0 with a third ten minutes into the second half before giving some of the lads a bit of a rest and getting a few minutes into some of the youngsters before we score late on to make it four.
  10. That is definitely the issue without a doubt. I will add though that it was and is an issue that his numbers were not replaced. I do believe that Clement will get us more for our money in the transfer market just as he has got more out of the players that were already here. Dessers for me is what we would consider to be a squad player and someone who wouldn't be starting anywhere near as much if it wasn't for that. Doesn't mean that it's not frustrating as fuck when he misses a sitter but every player has missed sitters.
  11. We can argue about what actually is our level for a squad player and there will be differences of opinion on that without a doubt. You would still rather have kept him than bought Lammers though which was the point being made. That is because of his statistics not his ability.
  12. Best striker by a mile at the club when fit. Obviously the problem is he is never fit. It was a special year when he and Helander did manage to stay fit though. Unfortunately I think we have a better chance to win the quadruple than see Roofe stay fit.
  13. To be honest he is being talked about much the same as Sakala was. We all love him one minute when he goes on a scoring spree and after a couple of howlers the calls to get rid came out. We got rid and it wasn't that long before people were saying that it was a mistake. I doubt a single poster on the forum wouldn't rather that we had kept Sakala and not bothered with Lammers though. A lot of the time things are said in the heat of the moment. Sometimes it goes too far though and feeds on itself.
  14. I don't think that anyone is saying players can't be criticised, people are more commenting on the the extreme lengths some take it too. For example people have slagged the likes of Yilmaz and Lawrence off saying that they should be nowhere near a Rangers team yet they played a big part in our result last night. I said the other day that it comes across worse to myself because it is written down. Watching the match with your mates saying the exact same things it doesn't come across as bad. Maybe it is just the permanent nature of the written word that does it or maybe not but for some reason it seems that way to me.
  15. Team play counts for nothing with some people if there are no goals to go along with it so it is a bit strange the amount of criticism he gets at times considering he is actually doing what he is paid to do. That said he can be frustrating as fuck at times.
  16. So that is a start for imagining where we could have been with those players available. Can't argue with what he has done though 👍
  17. That's what we have done not what we could have done.
