Before we start spending more money on keepers, it might be worth spending some on someone who can recruit goalkeepers? |

Think it was far less than £6m, rbee. Rumours at the time ranged from £1.5m to £2.5m, plus the two lads. |

No, I wasn't. Never saw his Rangers team play, LB.
I just like him. |

Yes, he does.
Also got Palace promoted. I liked him. |

Another vote for Ainsworth's reign, unfortunately.
For context, I only saw that 00-01 team once or twice, so can't really comment. |

I was going to post about Howe's time as well, J.
Not old enough to remember the 70's team properly, and I was in Ireland for Venables's reign, so Howe's team gets my vote. Superbly managed, superbly coached and a joy to watch. |

I'm with you re Saturday.
I'm also with those that say that we as a club are easily sated.
The comms, the club, the manager, the players the fans - all far too soft.
And all far too soft about playing on the Saturday having played midweek.
It's bewildering to me.
I thought Norwich was very poor in terms of work-rate and effort.
I didn't think Saturday was.
Tactically, I don't know what our plan was, and we have plenty to learn re game management, aggression, teamwork, hunting in packs etc.
But that was still miles better than Norwich, and I don't think we chucked it or anything. |

He has shocking hair as well.
And he's not good-looking or anything.
I never fancied him at all. |

Dead right. Why should anyone ever have to "get used to it"?
Correct decision to stop the game, and best of luck to the coaches as they help the players. Some of them may be young, and inexperienced. This may well be new to them.
More importantly, best wishes to our player and to his team-mates.
I also hope that the young lad that the report mentions as racially abusing our player is treated with sensitivity and that he can learn from this. |

I'm notoriously cautious when things are going well, and notoriously optimistic when they aren't. I think it's important to look for balance.
I see potential and talent in many players, but that has to translate into performances for many of those players to be considered good players ("If he's a good hitter, why doesn't he hit good?").
Stéphan seems to me to be a good leader (I'm obviously guessing on that) and I really like him but he has good days and bad days like all managers.
It's been very interesting, but it's so, so early.
We've spent a lot of money, and the contracts may be loaded, but we don't know the details on that yet either.
In short, it's only December. |

I think that's fair too.
This performance was, imo, streets ahead of the Norwich no-show, but we have lots to learn about aggression, hunting in packs, support play and controlling the pace of the game where at all possible. |

Ya, I think that's balanced, but always great to hear just-backs as well.
Thanks folks.
Main thoughts:
They were good.
Not sure we've yet learned how to beat the better teams while playing 442.
I liked our fight-back. [Post edited 13 Dec 21:17]

I think that's fair.
I don't think we changed much that I could see, either by condensing play, width, lines etc or by any other new idea or tactic.
Whether that's on Stéphan, or on the players for not executing, I'm not really sure.
I'm just not sure what our plan was. |
