And he’s nowhere near as bad as was made out before he stepped into Vicario’s boots!
Especially in the air!!

And he’s nowhere near as bad as was made out before he stepped into Vicario’s boots!
Especially in the air!!
That save he made just before the howler was brought about by him making a poor pass out (again) that ended up gifting ManU possession on the edge of our box.

Okay but fact remains he is what we have right now.
He has to play the next few games so he has to 'get over it' pretty quickly, perhaps he will make better decisions moving forward
Maybe I’m missing something, but why do we keep those two if they are worse than Forster? They are 26 and 25, so it’s not as if they’re kids with a big future.
I think meeting the home grown quota is a major part of it.
I’m sure he’ll be playing the ball quicker next time.
Both cock ups could have been down to momentary lapse of concentration.
Home grown quota definitely seems to be the only thing, we’ve shown no interest in using them and the loans they’ve had haven’t shown us to be missing anything as far as I’m aware.
Club trained rather than home grown I think. That's really the part that we struggle mightily with ATM, and the only thing that will solve that is time, as we've brought in quite a few that will end up as HG in the next few years, along with the academy prospects like Moore, Lankshear, Dorrington etc al.
I'd like to think that we'll be looking to upgrade on both Austin and Whitman, if the club don't think they will make it. It's hard for us to know, as we have seen relatively little of either of them.
Yeah, tbh I think we’ve painted ourselves into a corner somewhat with quotas and some bad squad management. I don’t think Austin or Whiteman are seen as anything special, I think they are quite literally still here to serve a quota which we’re hoping in the next years will be served by outfield players counting toward it allowing us to potentially move them on.
He has plenty of credit in the bank from the last 3/4 games and I just don't think the other guys are good enough to be honest
Yeah - I didn’t feel at any point that we’d get mugged by Man U. You said you bet even the most deluded fans on here didn’t feel safe at 3-0 up. I did so I’m acknowledging I’m deluded. There wasn’t a worried vibe in the ground near me at all.
My heart rate has just about come down to normal after last night.
If I hear what a great game it was for the neutrals once more, I'll go dolally. I'm not a neutral and I would have loved it if we had shut up shop when we scored the third. But no, we had to give them not one, but two, gifts.
I thought Spence and Biss had good games and less said about Big Fraser, the better! Having said that, it didn't cost us the game and hopefully, he's got them out his system.
Good to catch up with

The game was obviously too much for one poor guy - apparently he had a heart attack on a train from Northumberland Park to Stratford, hope he's OK. Watching Spurs should come with a health warning.

Really?
Even after Brighton and Chelsea?
Even at 3-2 you didn't feel like it was happening again?
Wow. That's blown my mind.
And did you call yourself Ms Deluded earlier?
Yup. The vibe was different there last night.
Exactly what Paul Hawksbee said on Talksport about neutrals...he also suggested Levy installs Defibrillators under each seat!My heart rate has just about come down to normal after last night.

You do you -
You're only happy when we beat teams that have better players than us.
Fun.
