Does anyone really care? I don't feel the same connection to him as players like Broadhead, Chaplin and Omari. Delap was a very good signing who came in and did a great job for year. Nothing more, nothing less in my eyes. Bit like Tom Lawrence was. |

Surprised how many are saying Newcastle. He'd be nothing more than a back up to Isak there for at least another year.
If I were him I'd go somewhere where I'm guaranteed the no.9 shirt and starting every week.
Everton would actually be a good move for him. Not the huge transfer option he could take but it's a move that would allow him to continue progressing for a year or two before being ready to join a top 6 side.
At the moment, I think he's far from the finished article and a top 6 move could hinder his progression. |

I wouldn't be overly concerned if he got their job.
He got MK Dons relegated from League One when they were one of the title favourites!
The Championship was extremely poor quality this season and Bristol City only just limped over the line for 6th spot before being whipped 6-0 on aggregate in the play offs.
Not a patch on McKenna. |

Saka did almost the exact same thing to Dara O'Shea (although accidentally) after having a shot in the same game by the way |

Reply | Carl Rushworth, Jason Knight & Flynn Downes

I don't get where all this bashing of Palmer has come from. He's easily been one of our top 2-3 performers since signing in January and already more than proven at Championship level. Seem to remember Rushworth was our top GK target in the summer so still wouldn't be surprised if he signed.
Knight would be very high on my list. Downes is the sort of player we need as well but I have huge reservations about his attitude. Seems to be a bit of a bad egg. |

This is where VAR is annoying and should be used better in my opinion.
As we saw with Tuanzebe at Aston Villa away, he got a ridiculous yellow card when it wasn't even close to being a foul never mind a booking. He's then walking a tight rope and gets a (legitimate) second yellow card which then can't be reviewed or overturned. If we have the technology and the referee is giving blatant advantages to one of the teams then something has to change. A yellow card should be overturned as and when it is as ridiculous as those incidents. |

If Delap's release clause is only £30m then we have no reason to keep him in the shop window as there will be 20+ clubs willing to pay it. Therefore I'd rather continue starting Hirst for the remaining games so he can gain some momentum ready for next season. |

That's harsh to say the least.
He's been promoted with three different teams at the first attempt. He got relegated with Fulham but they made more of a fist of it than we have this season. Then he was sacked after 4 games in the Premier League with Bournemouth so you can't really judge his capabilities from that.
I remember Parker was one of the names said to have applied when Paul Hurst got the job. Shame he never! |

Russell Martin - 2/1
Gary O'Neil - 3/1
Steve Cooper - 5/1
Jack Wilshere - 5/1
Sean Dyche - 10/1
Liam Rosenior - 10/1
Steven Gerrard - 14/1
Pep Ljinders - 14/1
Rob Edwards - 16/1
I don't think that's a terrible list of names to choose from in my opinion. You'd think all of them would do a better job than the current guy (which granted isn't too hard). I would hope they stick with Wilshere if it's to be one of those names |

I've never seen a greedier player than Enciso. Don't get me wrong, he's very good and has a superb strike on him but he only has one thing in mind whenever he's within 60 yards of goal and it's frustrating.
If he can look up and pick a pass like he did at Bournemouth then Brighton have a real talent on their hands. |

Reply | Delap reported 40m clause...
at 16:24 7 Apr 2025
I remember thinking £15m was extremely expensive for a relatively unproven Championship striker at the time so a £40m release clause would've sounded astronomical to me.
He's been a fantastic signing and deserves to be playing in the top flight next season. |

Reply | I'm so frustrated with McKenna
at 11:18 7 Apr 2025
I also believe McKenna negatively changed the game in Wolves' favour on Saturday.
I really don't understand why we brought Jack Taylor on for Broadhead. Broadhead had a poor game and was rightfully replaced but why Taylor? If we had 5 minutes left to play and wanted to drop deep and pack the midfield then I could understand but no with 30 minutes left to play!
I also have no idea why Jack Clarke was overlooked yet again. He's looked sharper every week and has the ability to carry us up the pitch, which we desperately lacked in the second half. |
