Is Chris Kavanagh doing this on purpose to prove the need for VAR?

It isn’t going to last forever and at some point they will look back and wish they just enjoyed it whilst it lasted.

Said the same except for Watkins as always does well vs Brighton. Think that midfield 3 is key and Sancho on right tonight!

Yes. No progress. No identity.

Don’t get the negativity. Frustrating not to win both those home games absolutely but to be where we are after the summer we had, the start to the season and to now have 3 of our most important players out - we are doing incredibly. Just a shame United and Chelsea decided to hit form.

Just a thought….teams have scored from corners when a goal kick should have been given…VAR isn’t allowed to look at that and overturn the goal..why can they do it for a throw in? Asking for a friend!

Between Everton and Brentford we could’ve and should’ve scored about 5/6. Just not being clinical.

And the cost of Guessand (fee) would’ve almost covered it….

Two loans from premier league clubs. Abroad doesn’t count.

Yep. It wasn’t as straight forward as it looked.

I would say that things weren’t rosy with her and it was an attempt at a fresh start….

Bring him home 🦁

Watkins is well known for liking competition for his shirt…

Problem (one of them) with xG is we cut through Newcastle at will regularly but didn’t manage to shoot as we played a poor pass or similar. Doesn’t contribute to xG but some amazing opportunities. Means absolutely nothing.

Joelington should be off. That's 2 yellows

Worked alright with Rogers

But if it’s Emery who wants him and has pushed for him then it’s not nostalgia?

23.01.2026 19:20 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Exactly. Obviously finances will dictate but as long as it’s not huge, a great option

22.01.2026 21:26 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I’d still give him a contract next season.

We created enough to win. Combination of poor finishing, a defensive howler and poor refereeing. Play that game another hundred times and we lose very very rarely.

Love to see some more of the youth getting opportunities.

Yes but if he wants out…

Is it dependent on who we deal with?
If Besiktas activate the buy clause we deal with them.
If they don’t Roma can sell directly but want less than Β£15m?
And most likely an agreement is made where we buy from Roma and Besiktas get a few million thrown in? All confusing,

Rory Wilson or Brian Madjo if we want a striker, or we go false 9. 😡

Yep that’s an odd one when they have players like Armstrong who would’ve been a much better bet.
Hopefully the approach will change but I doubt it

Yep. I don’t get it really and no-one has been able to.
Are we saying the 20/21 year olds in the academy couldn’t go out on loan and earn us some money or bolster our squad? Kaisler-Hayden would’ve got more game time than Garcia (due to injury) for example and could’ve sold for more than Β£3m?

14.01.2026 18:59 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Time will tell, obviously, but having so much tied up when we have so little wiggle room and a strong youth academy does seem, currently, like a bit of a struggle.
