Dazzler 11676 Posted Thursday at 13:55 Share Posted Thursday at 13:55 4 hours ago, Dr Gloom said: No one was complaining about schar during the winning run when we weren’t conceding goals. You could say the same about Murphy. But Murphy has always been this sort of player - capable of the occasional decent performance/run of form before going back to putting in stinkers. He’s a lot like Miggy - a squad player at best for a side who are targeting CL. Schar has been imperious since the takeover and his decline is a recent one. Ideally he will be benched when Botman comes back. Botman’s stop-start return from injury and Lascelles’s struggle to recover on schedule has fucked us. A new CB is needed but our failure to upgrade RW predates the takeover. We have Murphy, who should be a rotation option, starting games. It’s the squad’s obvious weak spot Wasn't it Botman and Burn in CB for a decent chunk of those games? Maybe that's why, because Schar was banned/injured for a spell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 4633 Posted Thursday at 14:35 Share Posted Thursday at 14:35 People need to stop counting lascelles in the discussions in future squads, he’s fucking dog eggs. Would be one of the first out the place if I had my way. If ends up starting any games for us next season it’s a lack of planning. Don’t mind if he stays around for the vibes or whatever but deffo shouldn’t be actually playing for a team chasing Europe in 2025 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Bruce that ruined him (along with many others) so I wasn't that surprised that he looked good again under Howe. It's scary that he's still our best aerial threat on set plays considering he's barely played since the takeover like - and Wood forgot he was a footballer during his time here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 4633 Posted Friday at 10:44 Share Posted Friday at 10:44 Nah, he’s looked alright at best. He wouldn’t get a game at any other club chasing Europe. We need to be more ruthless if we are to keep progressing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 22685 Posted Friday at 11:23 Share Posted Friday at 11:23 Like strawb said he was alright. I know ACL reconstruction has come a long way, but he's the wrong side of 30. If he gets a contract extension its because he is good in the background and training ground. We don't want him near the starting 11 or bench unless its v Bromley and even then I think thats a big ask. But on the flip side to totally overhaul players like Lascelles out of the squad, will cost even more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 7514 Posted Friday at 11:45 Share Posted Friday at 11:45 I don’t think he’ll get a new contract. He used the option to extend it last season after he had the injury - which was a massive bit of luck for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lascelles is hard as fuck - he probably just took one look at his cabbaged ACL and threatened to wallop the cunt and it healed immediately and stronger than it was before. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't think he's massively money orientated. But he is also on his last contract so will maybe look for a last big pay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd just piss everyone off interrogating them on who they’ve given their tickets to. ”Yes, yes, Bruno, I know she’s your wife and that’s all well and good, but was your lass in the away end at Shrewsbury in Sept 1982, I think not” Edited Friday at 13:53 by Toonpack 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 36412 Posted Friday at 16:20 Share Posted Friday at 16:20 I'd be the Terry Mac of the dressing room. The players would be too busy enjoying the crack to be dropping bollocks on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
