    Pity we wait until the 80th minute to show any kind of passion. Fullkrug’s leap for the header was immense but pity it was straight at the keeper.

    at least the season is nearly over

    Need a memory like an elephant to know the last time we won at home.

    Better team won, they are levels above us & won in first gear. Always going to be a tough ask with our mentality & quality of player
  • MIAHammerMIAHammer
    Potter out! Let’s just cut our losses now.
  • LukerzLukerz
    I find it amazing how a player, confirmed as being offside by the PGMOL, can be deemed to not be impacting when moving towards the ball in a crowded six yard box. That is incredible.

    It is interesting as to my relatively untrained eye, our ending eleven looked a far more cohesive unit than our starting eleven so……….

    The fans are going to have to adjust to Potter, no more leaving the game early as now our fans should only come in with half an hour to go as he seems to only act with intent at that stage.

    We were complaining about Forest wasting time yet we pretty much wasted an hour.


    I still hold with my view that Potter should only be judged from next season but my word it's hard to find reasons for optimism at times.

    Best performance I've seen by Coufal all season. Can't we re-sign him?

    I do hope we haven't ended up with the Managerial Kalvin Phillips. There are distinct similarities at present.

    Great at smaller club in Leeds, wins a high profile move to City but fails to make an impact, goes to West Ham to have it confirmed that he wasn't as good as people thought.

    Great at smaller club in Brighton, Wins a high profile move to Chelsea but fails to make an impact, goes to West Ham........ lets see what happens.

    Potter has come in to a failing group, with no prospect of getting into Europe, and very little prospect of getting relegated, several of whom have known they’ll be leaving. It’s hardly a surprise that we’ve coasted to the end of the season. Honestly, I think we can’t really judge this spell as equal.

    Can't agree, if Areola hadn't gifted them their 1st it would have been a totally different game.
    Potter's starting 11 was wrong though, no creativity in midfield, look at the difference after the subs.
    A pity that the only goal of quality didn't end up being on the winner's score sheet.

    I was thinking maybe Earthy and Potts would benefit from another year in the championship im starting to think getting them minutes next season might future proof for any potential disaster that befits the club should they go down next season.

    I don't disagree with any of that Alderz and I have always said judge him over next season as he has had the luxury of this half season stress free and a summer window to come. I do think I would have liked to see him get better from what's here than Lopetgui did and it's arguable if he has, we have had a couple of decent matches but so did Lopetgui. I think I would have liked to see that he was setting up a bit more positively when he hasn't had to really fear for results, if this is how he sets up now then how would he be when under pressure not to lose?

    It's been a season that began with such high hopes and never really got off the ground despite a big spend and two managers. I will begin next season hopeful as ever again still.

    Perhaps the club Should bow down and go back to Cressie and Coufal with a new contract

    Cresswell and Coufal may have played well recently, but they are both senior players in a failing squad. They have both also been part of the problem, and aren’t the answer going forward
  • stevesteve
    Just think a couple of old heads would be good to help new young players settle in .Not really sure who can fill that void
  • PengemanPengeman
    Is Tadibo fit? He always looks as though he is carrying an injury and would be beaten for pace.
  • stevesteve
    Perhaps its Zouma come back to us =)
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    I must admit I do like the look of Todibo, he looks a natural footballer and a modern centre back as in comfortable on the ball and agile, but he has not been dominant in matches. He is one I am hopeful for next season, as I am Fulkrug, and the forgotten man in Summerville.

    Sooner we replace the keeper the better

    Areola is possibly the best keeper we’re going to get, all we need to do is just tell him to hoof it up instead of trying short passes

    Thought Rodriguez had his best game so far

    If youre telling him to hoof it you need to change the manager. There’s no point in bringing in a manager who bases their entire philosophy on possession and build up, and then having the keeper kick it back to the opponent. We should be going all out for Kelleher imo

    Also, Areola has had plenty of clangers not involving his distribution

    @alderz Is Arellano our new Brazilian defender?

    Probably 3 of the 4 being released would love to stay. Most of those being retained would likely love to leave. I can’t see why Fullkrug for one would want to stay.

    He said why in his statement recently.

    Del Boy, “we were a good team we had Camaraderie”

    Trigger, “was that the Italian boy?”

    Already linked with Villa as replacement for Martinez (off to Barcelona apparently), Newcastle as a Pope upgrade and Chelsea cos they need a fourth first team keeper

    If Newcastle get him we could try for Pope who has said he won't be anyone's backup

    PS I also posted this in transfer rumours

    Hardly surprisingly, both West Ham and Forest have been charged with failing to control their players:

    Perhaps they should have charged the ref for failing to control the game.
