08 Dec 2025 10:25:35
Interesting assessment Tedster and many thanks ( from one oldster to another! ). Certainly the better team against us. Moyes is making the Toffees purr at the moment mate! ??.

Behave, behave, behave ????.

Tbat printed on a bedsheet? ??.

Brilliant Post Red Robin Hood.
We'll be fine.

Pretty pictures, no action. Recaro seats champagne and Lobster for the chosen few. Plastic seats and a dodgy pie for the plebs. The games dying on its backside.

Eeyore ………. ☹️☹️☹️.

07 Dec 2025 20:35:45
And there we go again. DTP telling people to behave or criticising them or their posts. I have an opinion. I pay my hard earned cash in following the team. In my opinion we are in real trouble, we have made poor signings, there is little team spirit and we have a manager who at best is limited, though in my experience doing a decent job under the circumstances.

07 Dec 2025 20:47:47
You need to learn I'm only jesting redfrog.

07 Dec 2025 21:01:31
We're doomed, I tell yer We're doomed
Anyone wanting to complain can have my seat but bring your own bedsheet ???.

07 Dec 2025 21:57:53
Hopefully Murrilo will have got over Covid for Spurs and MGW will try to impress Spurs for a move in January and a place in the world Cup squad we'll that's my positive view on the next premier game ?☕?.

07 Dec 2025 22:37:36
Behave jester ???.

07 Dec 2025 23:08:29
Should of sold mgw for 60 million never see that offer again I wouldn't give 15 for him.

08 Dec 2025 00:41:48
Two packets of dry roasted and a fresh steaming pint of one of Bowies bombay badboy pot noodles?
Come on skegs you know you'd take that. ?.

08 Dec 2025 10:34:32
Should have would have could have sell half of the squad bring in Tarkoski Garner and any other Dyche old boy and we will shoot up the League, tark would make a great line backer. Has for MGW 20 million and Johnson will do.

08 Dec 2025 12:25:24
2 pints of lager and a kebab sarnie would seal the deal.

08 Dec 2025 13:30:44
Snob ???.

07 Dec 2025 20:17:50
Ed1 I'd be no good on the Liverpool banter site. them scouse are to laid back. there wasn't one little nibble ?? and we think stokies bad them some of the comments on there make stokies sound like short stories.

there definitely keeping you busy no where near as exciting as our banter site and not a lot of red cards or refereeing by the looks of it ??.

{Ed001's Note - you would be surprised, but Ed25 keeps them in order well most of the time.}

07 Dec 2025 19:56:35
All doom and gloom, think some here actually love it. Stay away from the razor blades this evening please. Yes yesterday was terrible and performances of late have been uninspiring.

But take a step back and look around at those above us in the league. Remember we are still relative new comers to the Premier league and the main stays have been building squads for years even decades. We need a squad of at least 22 decent players to be able to compete in League, Cup and Europe. 2 players for each position as all of the usual big six sides and the other usual suspects who qualify for Europe.

The schedule in football these days has become absolutely rediculous, League, Europe, League Cup, FA Cup and International. I honestly think Europe came to early for us and we are now paying the price. Games every few days and injuries have taken their toll. I lot of you forget we didn't even qualify for the Europa League, we should be playing in the Young Farmers Continental Cup.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, last season was a freak. The luck was with us in the injury department, Woody was on fire, Sels became Superman and Spurs n Utd flopped big time. Both of them had their worst seasons in a century. As expected both above us now.

Going back to the players, they need a break/ rest, European footy has really really hurt us, luckily the group stage is almost over. Hopefully in the next few weeks we can start getting players who have been missed back on the training ground and ultimately the pitch.

We need to drag ourselves through the next couple of weeks then concentrate on getting back on track in the league. Just think before slagging players off for zero effort when they are actually burnt out.

So please, stay away from the bathroom cabinets and continue supporting our lads.

COYR ???.

07 Dec 2025 22:09:01
Very good post winter with a lot of truths.

07 Dec 2025 22:47:43
*i think a lot of you forget* opps almost got it all right lol. Just saying it as it is DTP. Expectations from a lot of our fanbase is unrealistic. With the squad, stadium and facilities available to the management team we are bottom half at best. ?.

07 Dec 2025 22:58:09
We overachieved last season and got lucky with injuries
Great season though
Newcastle and villa paid for it getting to Europe to fast, but have come through it, so why shouldn't we.

07 Dec 2025 23:13:14
It was unrealistic last season but we did it. its unrealistic for Sunderland this season but there doing it. its unrealistic that Liverpool with all there money and great players and stadium that there crap. teamwork being together and a good manager gets you far. never mind about about what players you have in a squad just saying.

07 Dec 2025 23:24:45
Thinking further, I'd say there's one person to lay a lot of the blame on and as much as it pains me to say as i love the guy, its Nuno. His self implosion never did the players any favours, Ange was a mistake then Dyche is left to pick up the pieces. All this blame on Mr M and Edu is actually hilarious, as far as i'm concerned they made two mistakes, giving Nuno a new bumper contract and hiring Ange.

All this blame on signings. Look at the other big name signings who have adapted to the Premier league instantly this season from abroad. Oh hang on, i think there might be one or two. The French forward at Liverpool being one (not bothering to try and spell his names after this many panda pops today) United, Liverpool, Arsenals new forward. The lads from abroad take time unfortunately and players with Premier experience cost a premium. Best signing for big money this season, imo Eze but where did he come from?

Get with the programme Gentlemen and get behind our players, management and board.
COYR???.

07 Dec 2025 19:11:44
How long before celtic fans want martin oniel back? ???.

07 Dec 2025 23:32:38
How refreshing is it to a side from outside the old firm clear and preforming well. ?.

08 Dec 2025 03:51:27
Don't think it's a coincidence that Brighton's Tony Bloom has brought into Hearts bringing his data led recruitment, and Hearts are progressing.

07 Dec 2025 18:24:18
Lack of effort. Not good enough. Wake up.

07 Dec 2025 20:41:26
Forest’s seemed at 6’s and 7’s yesterday so the defence.
Goal 1. How did that first goal go in? This was a cross, no Everton players in the box ie no pressure on the defenders result own goal
Explain why was there a goal
Goal 2. Right at the end all the defenders bar 1 were in the Everton half. 3 Everton forwards to one defender.

You can see Sels hesitates about closing the defender down
Goal 3 was it just lucky it got through half a dozen players.
There was one point, where there were two Everton attackers, one player had 4 defenders around him and still passed
This was only highlights I admit. SD should have seen all of this but none of these goals should have gone in.

07 Dec 2025 22:00:27
Looks like yesyesnuno his working his magic. now we have nonodyche ??.

07 Dec 2025 22:43:04
Nuno three points from twelve
Dyche six points from twelve proves you right there skeggs ????.

07 Dec 2025 16:27:33
We can sugar post it all we like. Ultimately it comes down to a serious lack of effort. One of the players could have attempted to block that first goal once it was cut back. He didn't. He watched. Teams that used to be below us are fighting for their lives.

We aren't and i'm just wondering when we'll wake up. Probably a little too late. You can be a bad football player. I can excuse that. Ill never excuse a lack of effort. You give everything, you're fine by me. I can't excuse yesterday. that's just not good enough.

07 Dec 2025 17:00:28
Also have you seen Dyche's post game interview with Frey. What a load of cock and bull. He's got us to 16th spot and achieved the peak of his powers. Can he keep us there? Who knows.
What a state we are in after last season.

What an uninspiring appointment. Its a throw back to the Alan Curbishly, Peter Reid, Steve Bruce merry go round. The only thing he will achieve is woe.
Completely useless and unemployable to anybody with an IQ above 6.

07 Dec 2025 17:28:51
Agreed Red, the first thing is to turn up and fight and compete, we have started slowly in a number if games and then have not been able to up the level. This is something SD needs to resolve quickly, as other teams are fighting, if you compete for everything you will get things go your way, not all the time but majority but we were never in the game at Everton and they are not that good a team, definite not a top 6 team but we made it easy for them.

07 Dec 2025 18:28:49
Any group of players don't need motivating to play at Anfield in front of millions of people. A monkey would have them giving everything in games like that. The measure of a boss motivating powers are in games exactly like the one we just watched. The bread and butter games are worth just as many points.

Dyche needs to step up and get the players fired up.

07 Dec 2025 18:31:59
Make that 17th place, Larry.

07 Dec 2025 18:12:17
As l posted yesterday the club must decide Europa League or a place in the premier League next season. there's a saying, you have to learn to walk before you can run. i'm not sure they know what to do, the premier League is their bread and butter and Mr M is relying on that revenue.

I for one don't want to be in the championship at the expense of a lump of silver.

07 Dec 2025 19:39:45
Good post red Vale
The premier is a bit more than our bred and butter
Though it's our future.

07 Dec 2025 19:57:37
Good post Vale mate??.

07 Dec 2025 20:15:46
Mind you Vale, we could be the first club to play in the Champions league from the Championship, has a good ring to it??.

07 Dec 2025 21:10:23
We only have to make that choice if we don't have a boss capable of managing the squad in Europe.

07 Dec 2025 21:30:21
Behave cyclist ??.

07 Dec 2025 20:37:39
I suspect dyche will be gone at the end of the season no matter what happens. Mr M will bring in his mate from Fulham.

07 Dec 2025 22:38:43
Pretty much guaranteed I'd say red Vale.

08 Dec 2025 04:02:38
Sean Dyche was never the future, Marinakis plan was for him to keep us up, not shuffling amongst the bottom five every season. If it looks like we could get related under Dyche, and Marinakis starts to get sweaty palms would he pull the trigger again in the New Year, and get Rogers in?.

07 Dec 2025 16:08:34
Real guts this weekend from Leeds and West Ham, can’t help to contrast this to our last two games where we have been so poor.

07 Dec 2025 16:26:01
Nuno was robbed.

07 Dec 2025 16:37:31
I agree RF, we lost against Brighton at home and West ham as good as beat them away from home. If West Ham had won we would have been back in the relegation 3. We cannot wait until various players are fit. Winning is a habit and the loss against Brighton and Everton were not good.

Sadly 4/ 5 of the goals scored against us in these two matches were easily avoidable.
We don’t have a Bowen - who according to the BBC is single handed dragging West Ham up.

07 Dec 2025 17:02:04
Dont worry Nono we'll soon be in that bottom 3.
Just have faith Dyche is in full cry.

07 Dec 2025 17:22:54
Realistically though everyone would have been delighted with six points from
Liverpool away
Brighton home
Wolves away
Everton away before a ball was kicked.

07 Dec 2025 17:29:05
But we've just took 6 points from our last 4 games, west ham have took three, we beat Liverpool away and west ham list to them at home
Just saying.

07 Dec 2025 18:01:15
Have to agree with both Nononuno and Redjester - my next live game is spurs and I’m honestly not looking forward to it. If Morato plays we will lose - he’s been bloody awful most games he’s played. Always has a mistake or two in his locker which always seem to lead to goals in our net.

07 Dec 2025 18:26:14
Redfrog mate your glass is always empty
You just think the worst.

07 Dec 2025 18:30:11
I'm not happy with 3 points from Brighton, Everton, Wolves. It's not good enough.

07 Dec 2025 19:09:53
We will be lucky to get a point from our next 5 games.

07 Dec 2025 19:20:22
Cyclist behave.

07 Dec 2025 19:34:15
So will west ham, Burnley, wolves Leeds and Fulham skegs
Burnley six defeats on the bounce, west ham no wins in four, wolves no wins at all and Fulham playing better than us all but still keep losing
That's football.

07 Dec 2025 19:47:39
If only football worked like it does on paper, we'd all be millionaires ????.

07 Dec 2025 15:36:05
Lovely looking stadium. Shame we'll be in the championship by then. Players need to seriously wake up. Sleep walking into the championship.

07 Dec 2025 16:10:05
We'll see plenty of time yet
Get Aina and murillo fit along with wood and luiz and things can soon change
I'm not giving up on them
We've made three bad mistakes yesterday, just got to eradicate them and start playing out from the back again.

07 Dec 2025 16:43:12
Me neither, not by a long shot!
Uuuu Redddss!

Thats actually beautiful inside, can't wait for a decades time when its finished ??.

07 Dec 2025 12:57:58
It won’t take place if we get relegated. The team needs to pull in the same direction - we have lost that togetherness of last season.

07 Dec 2025 13:46:49
Totally agree with you on that redfrog.

07 Dec 2025 15:33:38
In the bottom 3 now everybody is fighting but not us.

07 Dec 2025 15:56:34
Bit premature jester.

07 Dec 2025 16:28:18
Always have been premature but doesn't alter my point NO FIGHT IN THE REDS!

07 Dec 2025 18:54:38
Winter you've got a lot more chance than me being it, but I'm planning on sticking around ??.

07 Dec 2025 09:21:38
Honest assessment? We struggle without Murillo, and Moratorium and Boly not good enough, hair and Abbott too inexperienced so now need new centre back. Savona tries but a weak link so needs replacing quickly. Midfield not gelling - Garner type needed. MGW misfires and McAtee not good enough.

Jesus good but needs a striker partner if Woody not fit.
Dyche has impossible job unless we can get additions for the premier League. We are good enough to qualify for the Europa next stage, but we’re carrying too many players who can’t hack so many games close together.

07 Dec 2025 10:48:16
Thing is bsered using our counter attacking tactics worked at Liverpool with more or less the same players, so his job isn't impossible
Cuhna is 6 foot 6 and the Brazilian media can't understand why he doesn't get game time as he can play a bit like murillo who had less experience before we put him straight into our team
Brighton game we paid for individual errors at really bad times, just as we did yesterday, bit wolves and Everton games was just launching it forward with little chance of jesus beating those giants
Ndoye wasn't had a good game for ages, but still first choice, savona has grown into a very good full back and even scored two goals, so I don't agree there at all
You day mcatee isn't good enough, based on a few cameo appearances?
Dyche has to take responsibility for cutting out these defensive errors on the training pitch, never mind just running, they have the fitness levels now try some of the new players, has the perfect opportunity on Thursday.

07 Dec 2025 09:59:58
Perceptive post bsred. Right about Murillo and young Savona. He looks potentially 'class', bot surprised SD plays him. From what I can 'garner'about the game, (sorry), Ndoye and Savona look like they are unsure where they are and who the people around them are! (are they imposters? )

07 Dec 2025 11:34:18
Not sure what you guys expect Dyche to do with Savona? He's only playing so many games because Aina is injured. Who else can we play there atm?
Maybe when Zinchenko is finally fit Williams can slot in there but until our injury list shortens we can't expect miracles. ?.

07 Dec 2025 12:10:43
McAtee is definitely a good player. Look at his goal scoring record at every level. HE's done it at this level before. My guess his confidence is low or the boss (es) haven't worked out how to use him.

07 Dec 2025 11:11:27
I've no idea how good Utrecht are, but we need to give several players a rest until Sunday, so it's a lottery on Thursday. Without Yates we only have Dominguez as a midfielder and I can't see anyone in the U21s filling that role.
I've watched Cunha when he has played DTP and am not impressed, both him and Savona are full of errors particularly in positioning.

Ndoye can play midfield but is no tackler. I agree his form has dipped quite badly, so a goal would do him some good.

07 Dec 2025 12:44:22
Utrecht currently sit sixth and tbh its in a much lower standard of league to ours. The reserves should be able to give em a good game. ?.

07 Dec 2025 14:55:05
How can you have watched cuhna?
He's played one game.

07 Dec 2025 14:25:02
Fro I unfortunately paid to watch all the pre-season games on tv. We looked a mess already then.

07 Dec 2025 15:34:44
You can't get a view on a player from preseason
He played fine at Newcastle and defended well till MGW gave a goal away in that game.

07 Dec 2025 16:02:11
Yet you can judge him on one game at Newcastle?
Everyone things they're footy managers in the making and know better than the actual managers that see them everyday in training lol.

07 Dec 2025 17:25:52
Fred managers get it wrong though
Cooper did with Bade
You can't keep playing morato and think he'll stop making mistakes, give the lad a chance.
