I remember applauding opponents goals, if outstanding etc, used to be reasonably common, and like clapping opposition keepers seems to have reduced or stopped mostly. |

Just to add to what others have said Clive, that's absolutely disgusting what has been sent to you.
This site if superb, and your writing is unmatched - we all know it, and so do many fans of other clubs, it's such a shame people feel the need to have a go at people who are simply better than them. |

Real lack of quality in final 3rd cost us, they had a bit of quality for their first goal, that was the real difference at the end of the day.
Frustrating match - low on quality but we got what we deserved. |

Still there for us, just need a goal back soon, and some quality in the final third.
I'd hook Dembele soon if end productu doesn't imrpove, and Smyth has been quiet. Does feel like we should change something. |

100% not his fault, RND is beaten too easily and we lose their player.
We can't blame Nardi for every goal conceded from a cross etc. |

Low quality first half, good effort though.
I tihnk if we just show a bit more composure in the final 3rd the game is there for us.
Feels like Smyth is trying a bit too hard the few times he has got the ball, but defensively doing a great job. Dembele good movement and runs but no end product at all, and less good defensively.
Burrell and Kone linking well.
Apply ourselves 2nd half and we should be good, so we will likely concede 1 minute after KO! |

Reply | Two home games against the bottom two - Six points ???
at 20:28 31 Dec 2025
I voted 5 points over the 4 games, which would mean a draw and a win in these two. Games never pan out the way you think - if we get 6 points from both I'll be delighted of course. Should we aim for 6 - yes, should we expect it? I'm not putting any money on it. |

Good news - I've said before he add some crucial goals but also you can see how positive he is towards his team-mates and his workrate on the pitch is superb - definitely the right sort as they say! |

Ian Evatt, admitedly quite a while ago, also not really appreciated, ended up playing for Blackpool in the PRemier League.
Now managing Blackpool - do we have many other explayers as managers? |

I think out of the options I prefer this - but a big ask for thr the two CBs, with a very raw leftback next to them as well.
I guess we have been training with this in mind, so hopefully they are relatively ready whatever the formation. |

Sometimes you see the lineup and wonder what is happening, and post game you think what a tactical genius the manager is - let's hope it's one of those games. That's a lot of changes at the back for sure, be interesting to see what the actual formation is, whether we stick to 4 at the back or have gone for 3/5 at the back.
Good chance for Morrison to play.
Strong looking bench. |

I think what you can say about Smyth is he contributes some impotant goals (not loads, but important ones), and he seems to really add to the team spirit which is not to be underestimated (see Leivester...). I'd definitely like us to keep him to the ebnd of the season.
That and he has pace which is important now to how we play, counter and press. |

He was more than booed if I remmber, there was a loud rendition of him being something that thymes with tanker. Cue the hatrick.
After scoring the hatrick, he was subbed off, and I think was then applauded as he went off.
As for Marti I wouldn't boo him. |

Some talk on his thread about a keeper, but can't see it happening.
Nardi, Walsh and Hamer (assuming we keep him until the end of the season) will fight it out for the No1 spot.
Next season I think Murphy Cooper will return and possibly be No1, fighting it out with Walsh possibly, assuming we release Hamer and Nardi. Salamon will then go out on loan like Murphy Cooper has and then hopefully is ready for first team in a season or two. |

Absolutely this. We seem to be going about things the right way, buying with an eye for development and future sales, and incrementally making the squad better each year.
We can't go and spend a shedload, not get promoted, and then be back to trawling the bottom of the barrel for free transfers etc.
Patience is key, despite temptation! |
