There isn’t a single player, who’s contract expires in the summer, I’d extend if it were a game of FM23. Powell has flattered to deceive far too often during his time at Stoke, so get him, and the rest of them gone.

Brown hasn’t scored in like 14/15 games. That’s why he isn’t starting. Really? He has scored 2 in 10 starts and 5 sub appearances this season He hasn’t scored since Middlesborough, which was the 17th August.

You’re right, but surely having a few goals in that period of time isn’t asking much is it ? If he’s not showing signs of scoring when he comes on and doesn’t impact games, he doesn’t warrant a start ? Saying that, neither are the other lumps we play up top. They’re all pap We have an amazing front line on paper... But an absolutely awful one in reality!!! Gayle, I'm not quite sure what's going on there, he's scored goals everywhere else he's been... Delap, I'd be very tempted to send him back in January, he's offering nothing... Campbell, could be a decent player for us if he wasn't so bone-f***in-idle... Brown, he isn't the answer really, but I'd start him ahead of Campbell on work rate alone!!! Jesus, it really does look grim!!! Gayle doesn’t seem to be mobile at all, not a massive follower of his, so can’t comment on what he was like previously, although I understand he has been good at this level. Simple fact is that it’s 2 years, minimum, too late. Agreed with Delap, I think I was swooned by his performances for stoke on my FM22 save, he hasn’t Performed anywhere near what we were expecting.

That kinda doesn't make much sense??? 🤔 Obviously he won't score if he isn't starting, unless we're expecting him to be some sort of miracle worker in his cameo appearance!!!

Disappointing, to say the least. He can run around, throwing his weight around, all he likes in the U23 but he isn’t strong enough for this level. Coupled with his limited footballing ability, the messiah has definitely not come.

Brown has gone from leading goal scorer to not scoring in 14/15 games ? Hopeless

I don't often comment on here anymore but I feel like I need vent. What a complete sack of shit this team has become. No fight or desire to win. We go behind and you know we're not going to get a result. We attack and we have no movement, no one making runs and everyone's just stagnant and still. Defending and goalkeeping is a shambles as well. Were going to down and anyone who can't see it is blind, stupid or in denial. This is exactly the same feeling I had when we got relegated from the premier League. The fights gone. Unfortunately, I tend to agree. Absolutely no fight or passion from keeper to strikers, no quality, flair or vision. Can’t score, can’t defend and we can’t even win physical battles. All in all, a sorry sight.

Time to cut our losses with Powell. Far too injury prone

Delap just isn’t very good is he, doesn’t score, terrible at holding up, not great at finding a man with a pass. He’ll score now🤣 He probably won’t.

Im not advocating removing Neil, I’m saying he’s underperforming, which I think it’s clear he is. We are going down the table, and not upwards. We’ve got to stop giving managers money to bring in their own players when they’ve not shown anything to indicate they can progress us. This squad, bar 1 or maybe 2 additions is a top half squad, if he cannot get it to that level why should we back him? To then be left with his players again when he’s eventually removed? That’s the cycle we’re in right now, hope it changes soon. I can't really disagree with any of that except - I just don't see the quality in this squad that you or others do. I was about to list those players I think don't meet the standard, but to be honest, I don't care enough about any of them, to waste the time. Agreed. I’m not sure what paper our squad is supposed to be good on, but it’s needs chucking in the bin. We’re hopeless in almost all departments and are inline to be playing the likes of Exeter and Forest Green next season.

I’m not sure what paper you’re referring to? We don’t look good up front on any sort of front. I know people will defend the likes of Gayle (who seems to move like Freddy Star doing the sped up music bit), but he hasn’t shown any signs of scoring in the last 4 or 5 games, at least. Delap can bully his was around an under 21s game but isn’t getting the same results playin championship football. Brown is awful, how he got 15 goals last season I do not know, and Powell has a touch of Cristiano Ronaldo, in the sense that he shows some lovely touches, but seems to only produce when wants and acts like a bit of a pre Madonna. It doesn’t bode well. Brown didn't get 15 goals last season, I dont who started that one, he scored 13 league goals in 45 games and 1 in the cup. His tally is 20 in 99. A solid 1 in 5 player.

Can't believe the high marks for Powell the "messiah". Crap in both games gave the ball away and no better than the player he replaced. I’m not sure where this messiah status comes from. He’s good but he’s not as good as some sections of our fan base make him out to be.

Where’s this performance come from by the foss? Playing in his natural position as opposed to right wing back.

Smallbone quickly turning into into one of the worst players we’ve had in a while Showed some promise. Just doesn’t seem to be able to react to anything quick enough.

Wouldn’t it be good if Kershaw came on an scored an equaliser. Underrated post.

Agreed. Not entirely sure what some folk want sometimes ? Better goalkeepers. He’s done me there.

Bad kick, a dropped simple catch, then all at sea for the Rodriguez effort, another bad kick, and a successful catch, is pretty much his first half. FML... he has been absolutely fine, topped off with a good save right at the end. Give it a rest FFS Agreed. Not entirely sure what some folk want sometimes ?

Resolute defence, which is probably all we can hope for. Burnley are much better than we are.

Another turgid showing at home. The buck has to stoke with some of the dross we have on the pitch. MonN and AN both struggling to find a tune out of this knackered fiddle.
