Ndiaye is immense but his success rate in situations where Grealish almost always keeps the ball or beats his man absolutely pales in comparison.

Was lovely for the nearly half a season we had both. Glad we’re not allowed to have nice things for any substantive period of time.

I know it's comparing apples to oranges in a lot of ways, but this is my frustration with not giving Dibling at least a bit of a chance to take on some of that work that Grealish gave us. It was too one dimensional when we're solely relying on Ndiaye to do everything, even if sometimes he can pull it off.

At this point, I'd not be too surprised if we did get George in on loan from Chelsea and we see him start straight away over Dibling.

Who ever called me a super fan?

Your little mate liking your post awww

Cute

Genuine question: do you actually understand the difference between reacting to something and being reactionary?

You make it obvious that's how you see yourself, although you'd never admit it.

My mate? Cause he also thinks you're a potato, sure I'll make him my best man.

It's also ironic you've said that and your post has been liked by the other potato.

Great work

Probably deserved to win on the second half showing, certainly didn't deserve to lose so the the equaliser was the least we deserved.
I'm getting really pissed off with the full back situation now, i hope we have someone lined up before the window shuts, but it looks like we're going to limp on to the end of the season making do again.
An absolutely fucking ludicrous situation to be in

As a supporter of Moyes I really can't understand why he persists with O'Brien at RB. For me it denies the obvious that O'Brien just isn't a RB. Patterson has shown enough to be given a run starting. Sooner rather than later we need to see Branthwaite and O'Brien in the center.

Also in the future we need to play a 4-3-3 with Garner sitting, Gueye and KDH advanced and front 3 of N'Diaye, Barry and Dibling.

Whilst Grealish is out Dibling deserves a run starting too. Patterson and Dibling on the right would give us more balance.

Think he’s just protecting Dibling.

It took years for Grealish to learn how to harness that ability, he wasn’t anywhere near as good as he is now at 19.

He needs to keep giving Dibling game time so he can get comfortable at our level and learn his trade but I can’t say I mind treating him with kid gloves for a season. The price tag and the other top quality players we have in his position set a high bar he’s unlikely to live up to and our fanbase isn’t renowned for patience with players.

What a god awful shout.

Get rid of Moyes and we’re more likely to be battling relegation that battling for European places

Not now I've been asked that by the forum crank.

Cue misogyny, condescending, mansplaining etc....

Shouldn't laugh but I did a little chuckle

Just checked the away games since Wolves when they should have had a penalty. United, Keane gets sent off. Bournemouth, no Keane, JOB centre half and Garner full back. Forest, JOB centre half and Patterson RB, Ditto Villa.

Moyes deserves huge credit for those wins but Keane hasn’t been on the bench once since any of those games. He seems to accommodate him no matter what. I’m not a fan of Patterson but he’s still not had much football and was starting to improve, as was Rohl.

Agree but the context is they were shit too. It was a shite game but we weren't outplayed.

All the more reason why we should have been a bit more positive.

April wrote: ↑Sat Jan 31, 2026 5:02 pm So pleased for the travelling fans. They are our 12th man every away game. Pleased for Beto, he’s alright you know!

They were unreal all game, much louder than the BHA Stone Island bellends at the other end.

I was whispering spirit of the blues along with them.

Happy with a point, been a bit spoilt on the road recently, away wins are never a given, anywhere.

Leeds, BHA I'm treating them games as a bedding back in period for so many returning players while losing Jack, DM needs to have a think about what his best XI and formation is for the rest of the season now. Hope it settles down and we'll get some home form going again in the coming weeks.

Oh and a fullback, even if its just one before the window closes, please Davey.
