The weight we are putting on this young players shoulder is ridiculous, are we really putting all our hopes in the hands of an untested youngster.
Think this message board is going way over the top in its expectations of a young striker unproven...but showing u23 potential.
Calm down.

The first time he took them up he spent next to fuck all including getting Tom Heaton and Scott Arfield on frees. The second time, parachute payments afforded him a few mistakes but he still took them back up first go before finishing 7th in the Premier League two seasons later. He is miles better than any manager who has been near this club in the past 5 and half years. He's a good manager no doubt, I'm just highlighting the other side of the story. If he came here though the squad isn't suited to how he sets up and would need another rebuild. That would take time he wouldn't get given how he sets up his sides IMO. The squad we have now is more suited to a Mowbray or Mark Robins, given how the latter sets up at Coventry currently and how the former set up at Blackburn last season. Was forest set up for Cooper. Was born set up for wider.. A better manager would form a winning formula out of this squad...I truly think Dyce could sort our squad into a winning football team

He's just come off the back of one of the worst managerial campaigns in recent years in any league Bottom line is were we're not looking for a manager. I think Dyche just isn't the way forward if we were I think you're right. 1) They aren't looking 2) Dyche won't cut it. 3) 7.73 Billion people on living on Earth, there absolutely HAS to be other people out there than the 3 or 4 names we always seem to banter around. And yes, I've considered extraterrestrials, but the language-barrier would be too great. 3 seasons...2 promotions Champions 15/16 Won 25 Drew 15 lost 4 Scored 72 joint highest in league. Pretty damn good..

Paul Warne would be a good shout, never had any money to spend at Rotherham and always plays good effective football. I reckon with a few quid he would do well for a club like us.. He’s relegated Rotherham not once, not twice, but three times from the Championship. People question seam Dyce style of play while some want Warne from Rotherham.. Wow. Cuz there style is so sweet on the eye.

Stoke fans want winning football. The season Burnley won promotion as champions to prem league 15/16 They scored 72 goals - joint highest. Won 25, drew 15, lost 4. Doesn't sound that dull.and boring to me. Hughes had us 9th. 3 times, look where he is now. Sadly we had Hughes to long look where we are now

Joey Barton seems to be doing a good job at Bristol, perhaps he could do us a job. At least there would be some fight. Some fight.... And that's just in the dressing room

There will never be another TP. Some will say thank goodness, some will miss his leadership but he was pretty unique. A younger TP would sort this mess out in the blink of an eye. Agree with you there. I also think Dyce would sort this mess into a hard to beat attacking force in quick.time.

Who by? Looking forward to this potential signing, if it comes off! Seen it on twitter. He was coaching the team through some set piece drills. Sorry mate I couldn't resist. "Coaching the team"....you use that term in its loosest term I would think.

Chamberlain, Beagrie, Etherington, Pennant, Arnie, Shaqiri.
Back in the day when players used to take defenders on and not pass backwards.

Can't wait for the season to begin. I was talking to my friend Keith while playing subbuteo last night how will we shape and will the signings come good. He says 9th well i’m going for 5th. Up the Potters and bring it on. That's your excitement blown in the first match...

Can't believe Pep would sanction highly rated striker to come here and have his confidence shattered by our inept displays.

I sense an awesome inspiring half time talk, inspired substitutions, fast attacking football with MoN stood arms aloft in front of the away fans at the final whistle as they chant his name after finishing 4-1 winners....
....Sorry, I got carried away with early season hopes..I'll give myself a good talking to.

Maybe, what’s your point? I’m sure plenty of players have said far worse!!!!! Point is that it’s a twattish thing to say to your peers earning less. It’s like a doctor telling a nurse to wipe his arse for him. So goes a little against your assertion he’s a sound bloke, that’s all. Loved Hendo as a player when he was with us mind. We of course don't know what the opposition player said to hendrie to receive such a response....maybe it was far worse

He’s signing for sure. Why wouldn’t you want to keep one of the top 5 worst signings of the last 15 years? I don't get the hate on Allen, he's the least of our problems I disagree, his inability to impose himself and control the midfield is a major reason we are on the back foot so often and losing games from winning positions.

Think it's a great home kit this, never usually buy the home shirt but maybe this year?
Although I would prefer us not to match it with black shorts. To similar to Sunderland in my opinion.

Will genuinely be gutted if he stays. Has been central to our midfield for seasons now. We collapse under pressure, give away leads in games to end up losing, his first touch is miscontrolled his second touch a foul... and still some think he's the answer in our midfield....
The lack of clubs scrambling to sign him says it all.

Give him the world. Our best player. Give him the world....maybe for the games he plays. But not when he's injured. As good as he is he has legs made of biscuits and we need a genuine plan B for the times he is not fit..

For an International footballer with over 60 caps his passing accuracy is awful, I don’t remember him being this bad when he first signed. He had better players around him which made him look better than he is.. its been 5 years decline and Joe has been central on the pitch for the vast majority of that time...to for the club to move Joe on and get in a genuine midfield controller.

It isn’t just goals though. It’s what he brings to the team. Because, weirdly, football is a team game. He’s fucking brilliant. And I love him. He’s far from brilliant and goals are the only thing he brings , but good on him for that as they’re most important thing in a game It's a good job he has been bringing the goals cause no one else has brought 14 this season.
