Who's in charge

[Shepherds Mush]

How do we know there is lack of goals in squad it's virtually new starting 11 they might score for fun equally they might shoot blanks we don't know. Chelsea have spent millions on strikers that have failed in the last ten years. Records and how much you spend counts for nothing

Spot on.

Also, I would bet that last season our "ineffective" midfield were close to both Burnley and Hull's midfield goals tallies.

Wanted to look into this, here's what I found:

Burnley had 17 goals, spread across 5 goalscorers
Hull had 30 goals, spread across 9 goalscorers.
Middlesbrough had 32 goals, spread across 10 goalscorers.
We had 26 goals from midfield positions, spread across 7 goalscorers

Those 3 got promoted... we weren't far off, seemed fine to be honest.

Would you like to be referred to as 5hitman from now on?

I'm guessing that you'd prefer not to, so now might be the time to stop disrespecting our players by using insulting phrases instead of their real names. And it's not just the mod team that think so, we have had plenty of complaints about it from others.

After all these years I still can't understand those that find it amusing to slip the odd swear word in at every opportunity.

No problem at all with people being amusing. Big problems with people acting like 6 year olds having tantrums. Particularly when they expect to be treated with respect from those they continually offend.

Been called 5hitman for years. Does not bother me in the slightest.

As for insulting our players, it was perfectly fine to insult the likes of rio, bosingwa, tarrabt etc etc etc. Is this a new rule that we cannot sla g off any player or manager/ owner.

With you on that one mate. Let's see in three months time how many people still backing the idea of no attacking players in with out MOANING we will drag this thread up they only insult you because your opinion differs to there's!!!

[Insider]

Our midfield between them scored two goals yes two goals last year!!!!! Don't include hoilett or Phillips because if you haven't noticed they are GONE without replacements so we are minus what say 10 goals plus from last year!!! We have bought in two midfielders who have scored 9 goals in over 300 appearances between them so I'm entitled to be worried and give an oppinion

[Insider]

Oh and yes chery scored ten but will be marked tighter this year and baring in mind our only main attacking outlet won't be hard will it

Where has anyone backed not having attacking players????? Your deluded if that's what you take from the discussions

Starting to feel sorry for you

[Insider]

Feel sorry don't worry don't need your pity mate. Well I vent an oppinion about it and you lot bite like little Jack Russell's ����

[Insider]

I'm all for spending lower but to let both your wingers go two months ago with no plan to get replacement in time is a bit unprofessional

Gonna hold you to these replies in 3 months time when your moaning away after a 1.1 draw or 0.1 loss and still see if your all good with this scenario then shall we ay

[Insider]

Well hit man gets abuse for seeing and stating the obvious and I get called a #### etc and it's backed by the so called mods on here silly really ain't it grown men an all

Do that mate but It's not about moaning it's about accepting the position were in. You can't spend what we don't have so you cut your cloth accordingly. Some of us get and accept this and others want to plough on regardless living the good life when we can't afford.

I can't give you my #### and s hit through my ribs buts that's what some of you want the club to do. If the football is boring or DROSS as some of the kids keep saying so be it but if as a consequence the club gets stronger and in a healthier position and survives long term well we have won to some extent.

Each to their own but you have badly misunderstood many of the responses
