Fair enough. Still interested in which of the four I mention you think are better than Chair though... |

Talk about twisting words to fit a narrative. Sheesh.
Let me clear things up for you. All of those comments were COMPARING those players to Chair, not me saying they are crap. Just because they are not as good as Chair does not mean that I think that they are crap.
Well happy with the way the squad is developing thanks. |

Yep, but yet to see actual EVIDENCE that any of them are "better" on a consistent basis.
Saito - generally poor since signing permanently. Still a good player, but not yet there.
Dembele - vastly improved over the last few weeks and may be signs that he is a better attacker than Chair, but can't / won't track and is a fraction of Chair facing his own goal
Poku - not seen enough
Smyth - great effort, but nah
So, whilst I agree he can't be untouchable and instead of disagreeing with me for the sake of disagreeing with me, please make a case for ANY of these players who are "competition" for Chair. I really do not think that you can do that without outright fabricating things. |

I find it really odd that neither Poku or JCS have taken more game time in the Dev Squad. We cannot afford to have them every other game for 10 mins or so; we need to build them up to full 90s. If they can't do that, they have to leave as it is not enough to be great players for a quarter of the match... |

This is a view that I may be able to get along with.
Madsen and Dembele are better deliverers of the ball.
That's it though; Chair remains the best player we have by a long street. |

Of course he does.
This board continues its weird narrative of questioning Chair.

Yes lots of fun. Thought today would be about the first goal and when came a tad lucky. After that they wilted and could have been the worst team I have seen at this level this season. Just a shame we had to declare at 4 to secure the win...
Little to fault although Saito was very frustrating again... |

Spot on, ted.
They old adage is only gamble with what you can afford. The owners would be gambling with the club itself and that is simply not worth the price.
Slow, steady growth needed like Coventry and it'll either happen naturally without breaking the bank or it won't.
We do have some budget in the coffers from Eze and still could do with a 'keeper, a RB and a dynamic central midfielder, but they can all wait until the summer as far as I can see... |

Remember when that was our fan base?

Just when he starts to hit form, along comes AFCOM. Seen loads from the club on Smith's call up for SA, but I think Kone is off too, probably after the Leicester game.
Will beca bit of a loss especially against our physical friends at Portsmouth... |

Not going up and not going down and that is absolutely fine for me for this season. Another enjoyable Champ game that could have had any result today and we came out on top.
Kone stepped back up after some dodgy form and he, Burrell, Nardi, RND and Madsen had good games.
Varane really hit and miss as was Dunne.
JCS blowing out of his 'arris after 70, but effortless at times today.
The worries were Dunne and Saito, who has frankly cratered since he got his Japan cap.
Overall a good day though... |

I fully believe in the ability of an idea, thought or a self belief improving the possibility of an outcome. It doesn't always work as a couple of beers in, I am close to being the best Darts player in the world despite still averaging 45.
At the top level though we are talking marginal gains and they are important.
You constantly tell athletes that a three game week will be hard, especially with two away trips then it will contribute to a performance like yesterday. Slow, sluggish, low intensity; a direct contrast to Norwich, who beat us fundamentally because they tried harder, not because they were "better".
No changes outfield was utterly insane if you believed that this third game would be so hard because of the travelling.
Maybe not mention how hard it all is constantly next time?

Could simply be that none of our big lads aside from Jimmy actually attack any ball from set pieces... |

Even better is the fact that we don't burn coal anymore as it is not "GREEN", but we are happy to export to China to make money even though that them burning it will do the same damage to the planet than if WE burnt it.

It was. As was his overall performance. Why can't we have a keeper like that? |
