  Well that was a bit of an odd game. At 0-0 with 11 men we looked like being competitive, albeit set up to keep it tight and play for 0-0 and hitting on the break. Edwards sending off I thought was a little harsh, the first was a justified yellow (sliding through the back of a man on the counter attack and getting more man than ball), the second I thought the ref might have been a bit more lenient on - another challenge from behind, but looked like Edwards tried to pull out of it and definitely didn't go through with studs showing or high. From then on it was purely a game of attack v defence, with the two Villa CBs playing largely… More →

  2 games, one shot on target.

  With very few chances created whîlst the opposition have totalled over 50 shots. It will be interesting to see how Clement sets us up on Saturday. We are big underdogs in most of our games these days.

  Just shows what a shit state Stam left us in.

  I don’t know what to say to that Brum. Suffice to say I disagree, hugely. I think it flatters us to suggest that Edwards’ red card was the turning point. From what I saw we showed no desire to partake in the game and no willingness to even remotely compete, we came for a draw but if we lost we lost and we were hardly going to try and do anything differently. Disgusting performance. Should have just called VIlla and the EFL before hand and forfeited, taken the -3 GD and not wasted any energy. I would have preferred not to come put it that way. Mannone 6 - several good saves to keep the score down, even though the backpass from kelly… More →

  Don`t hold back. just tell us what you really mean.

  Pretty poor display, shows how poor our last few transfer windows have been, haven't seen Edwards do anything except be a spokesman to the evening post trying to flog his book, terrible signing and tonight looked lost before his sending off. Blackett well, what's he doing playing left back is beyond me, turns his back on the crosser nearly every time, this was very apparent 2nd half. Smith felt for him, young lad not ready to play at this level, but we're forced to after Stams lack of strike force that he started with in the summer. Aluko, well a fluke goal Friday, back to his usual look down at floor routine. Can't go on, just… More →

  I’m doing “alcohol free april” and it’s painful watching us sober. :lol:

• BL blueroyals 3 Apr 2018 · 11:47pm

  At least under Stam we'd retain the ball and make the other team work for it, and I'm sure we'd have managed more than the 1 shot on target we've had in the last 2 games...

  I`m wondering what Mendes has to do to get a start?, throwing a young kid in against John Terry is just criminal. at least Mendes can put himself about a bit. I`ve got a feeling Clement is getting bad advice from the coaching staff that didn`t leave with Stam because the same faults are still there.

• CO CountryRoyal 3 Apr 2018 · 11:51pm

  I was thinking the exact same thing. I’d rather be bored to death watching us pass it around the back 4 and concede the inevitable goal then completely surrender possession and watch us concede 55 (FIFTY FIVE) shots in our last two games. Obviously Stam had to go, but come on someone needs to tell the players they’re allowed to go for it wtf. It was a training game. Attack V defence.
