Colin Traive

He’s virtually another CB at times, doing what the actual CBs should be doing themselves. Empty jersey, time to go

The question remains why Robertson didn’t blow for the (non-existent) foul immediately. You don’t carry on playing advantage to a team defending with half the opposing team in their penalty box. Extremely suspicious imo

“You put your left leg in, your left leg out…”

I would genuinely accept any respectable offer to get them moved on and free up significant wages. We should be able to source replacements who are ten years younger and on a fraction of the wages. Start with Max Johnston at Sturm Graz to replace Tav. Long term bluenose, under-21 Scotland international, current value on TransferMarkt is £1m, still only 21 and wanted to come here last summer. Having said that, it’s almost certainly Record clickbait.

Or play strong through the middle instead of trying to shoehorn non-wingers into playing wide hoping they’ll cross because crossing has been so productive for us? Sterling/Lundstram Diomande/Cantwell Silva/Dessers 4-2-2-2 We have to accept the fact that we have no decent wide players.

If Silva is available, he’s a better option than Matondo even if he’s a diving twat. Be good to have Yilmaz back if possible. Need to try to keep Sterling in the middle as much as possible.

He’s no Danny Armstrong, that’s for sure

If Goldson is out, is Balogun fit enough or are we looking at King or, God forbid, Davies?😩

We don’t need five wins. We need one win, rest and prepare. Then win one more, rest and prepare. And repeat. Only by giving total focus to the next game (and the next game only) can we do what we have to do. Forget five wins, win tomorrow then go again.

We’ve all got two teams, the one we’d pick if it was up to us and the one we all know Clement will pick.

I took to it right away, mind you I’ve always been good at crosswords and puzzles tbf.

Watershed summer coming up for Clement. He has worked wonders for some time with perennial duds but their true natures have re-emerged recently. He will now know who he can trust and who has to go and go ASAP. No money in January but he appeared to have pulled three rabbits out of the hat in Cortes, Diomande and a £35m player in Silva. First two signed on the never-never and will cost £6/7m but they look decent prospects. Silva can leave anytime. So whatever kitty there was going to be is down a fair whack already. However, the wages saved, even if you only count OOC players, will be significant if quality freebies can be found. And that’s before you try selling off the failures, although we’ll not get much for them, if anything. Complete overhaul, limited budget and he may have to consider anything over 10m for Butland to fund 2/3/4 recruits needed elsewhere. We’ll soon know just how good he is.

Might have made a go of it had it not been for his injury but you go into our treatment room with two sore feet and you come out six months later like Lieutenant Dan.

“£50 for yer hole, tenner for a wank” ”How much is it if yer no’ a wank?” Fat tits banned yet?

The key difference is the honesty of his words as opposed to the bland nothingness offered by others at the club. Personally, I’d build a team for next season around Butland, Yilmaz, Cortes (assuming that deal can be closed), Diomande and Sterling and give Dujon the armband.
