This was the best case scenario realistically mate. If it had been a reoccurrence of the same injury he could’ve been out for another 6 months. Do think we need a proper backup to him now. He’s spent near enough an entire year injured now sadly

Even more reason to sign a right back this summer. With his injuries we need to be putting Jake at cb to cover for Branthwaite. Keane and Tarkowski are too slow as a partnership and force us 20 yards back.

That’s mental. Who on earth allowed this?!

Got to be honest since the Arsenal incident he looks like he wants out. It’s not worked out clearly and we need better than Beto and Barry massively.

I’ve always felt that if we get Europe we attract better players to be fair. Saying that we have glaring weaknesses still that need sorting out

Massively disheartened after today. I can always accept being beaten by a better team but they’re shite. The second we scored we backed off 20 yards, stopped pressing (Barry a huge problem) and reverted to hoof ball. They were more scared of conceding than trying to win. We need a lot more quality.

Its a major mentality issue. We score and then stop playing, back off 20 yards and start playing hoof ball. Been this way for 20 years plus now.

We have a complete mental block. They could be in league 2 and we’d still shit the bed against them.

No idea to be honest. Hard to know if Aznou, Rohl, Dibling, George are good enough when they don’t get a sniff. If they’re all not good enough we’ve spunked a lot of money away.

We’d been after Rohl from the previous window which is even more mental that he gets no minutes.

Happy to say i was wrong about Barry at this point. No signs of improvement and to top that off his head is gone. Dibling may go down as the worst buy we’ve ever made pound for pound currently.

Exactly

He was fucking awful.

Kavangh is a corrupt shithouse. We stopped doing all the things that worked after we scored. Press went out the window with Barry too who i’ve defended but was abysmal there

100% shit the bed. We score and just stopped pushing. Players can’t handle any form of pressure.

Nobody to blame but ourselves. Scored then offered nothing. Shit the bed against them again.

These Branthwaite injuries are becoming a problem

Hopefully someone removes Beto’s stud from his ass the kopite cunt 👍

Just decided to stop pressing??

Mcneil off George on. Have to have a go at these now.

No words. Every fucking derby

Fucking cheating cunts. Every fucking time

Fucking hell Beto

Well at least we know we’re getting nothing early from the corrupt cunt

Good old unbiased commentary of Stephen Warnock. Unbelievable.

Very true but he’s still not a winger for me personally

Be interesting to see what the plan is for him next year. He’s arguably 5th choice for cm and no doubt we’ll strengthen. Wonder if a coventry will take him on loan for a year?

He’s 100% a centre midfielder that Moyes has put out on the wing for some weird reason 😂

That’s my thought too. Alcaraz is the only other 10 on the bench. See Armstrong competing with Tim and Rohl. It’s a good thing we have enough fit to actually see a full bench!

He’s the only player who can replace KDH in the 10 for me but that’s a good point
