Not one player gets any fucking recognition if we stay up. It’s embarrassing they’ve got us in this position. I’ve got a feeling I might be rolling about with a few if they are up lapping it up celebrating staying upThey’ll get a clap and that’s it from me.
Legend is not a word that should ever be thrown about regarding anyone at this club just now.

He has definitely got something to do with where we are. He’s not exempt because he’s scored 9 goals. He has spent most of his games trudging about in the huff and couldn’t hold up a bank with a bazooka. He is bang average and will be gone in the summer. No player gets the “nothing to do with me” card. They are all to blame. If Richy was a good finisher he’d be nearer 20 even though he’s playing in a shit team. I’m not having him now and I tried to to like him. His attitude when he came on against Leeds at elland road was the end for me. He can do one with 95% of them in the summer
He's exceeding his XGA by 2 goals, which says that he is actually a very good finisher (by ~26%), not sure how he'd get 20. And trudging about is just made up. He's the only one who actually works and contributes goals. He can't just score goals out of nowhere. We get under 1xg most games, expecting any of our players to score 20 is just ridiculous.
Just going by what we saw.. it is clear Solanke is the most talented striker we got. However, he is just not finding his stride or the managers are just misusing him.
If Udogie is back and fit for Forest I would not be completely opposed to trying Porro at right midfield. Just let him spam crosses.
Exactly - don't understand why his detractors don't take this into account.
he is a very limited footballer, but what he is good at, he is good at. hes perfect for a side like us right now, we have a serious lack of quality footballers so the game needs to be very simple and he needs to be in the box with numbers near him, that is his game. if we do that and he stays fit hell score another 4/5 goals and well stay up.
He's as weird one cos he's often pretty infuriating to watch - poor touch, inconsistent link-up - but the numbers are undeniable. His actual goal-per-minute output since he's been at the club is borderline elite.
The worst Brazil team in decades and they still don’t want him. That says it all.
Eel never learn, Mrs P.
I’ve gave him every chance and there’s a bit of truth in what you say that I don’t like him. He’s just not what I want in a centre forward. He's far too untidy for me and nothing is ever clean with him. Even his goal on Sunday was not clean and kind of a scuff but what I will give him credit for is he’s there to do it. What’s not made up is him moping about and barely getting out of a jog at Elland Road because he got left out. His attitude when he came on was a disgrace. I also don’t think he’s better than Solanke. The thing with Richy is he’ll turn up like he did on Sunday for spells in the game then the next one he’s an abomination. He’s not for me. As I said before the quicker we get the average players out in the summer the quicker we will improve. Keep those types of players and we will continue to be a bottom half club no matter who the manager is. Fire sale in the summer is a must.
Was Muani here last season?
