 | News Comment | Arteta: Davis Challenge Dangerous But Not Intentional at 11:44:46
Can't argue with the red, even if I think some would have seen it as a yellow, but I think the crowd's reaction was also because the ref had missed a blatant Arsenal yellow when we (Cajuste?) were breaking, a few minutes earlier. It had felt that he was giving them everything until that point. |

This inability to hold a lead is not a new thing. Was happening even in League 1, certainly in the Championship (Blackburn, Rotherham, Cardiff, Saints) where we got.out of jail with late winners. It's just so naive to think we could continue to play like this in the Prem. Tactically we have to look at this |

I cannot fathom how a good news story is then used as a hook to start slagging Muric again. Sure, he's not had a great season, but is it any wonder the guy's confidence is shot?!?! |
 | News Comment | Townsend: I Don't Think We're Anywhere Near Done at 12:58:27
Even in the Championship we were a tad leaky at the back - for a team to get automatic promotion but only have the 7th best record defensively is pretty unusual - and our ability to protect leads was pretty woeful too - we just kept getting out of jail with late winners (Blackburn, Rotherham, Bristol City, Southampton etc.). To approach the Prem with the same mindset playing Lief as a wingback, but nominally part of a 'back 4' was naive in the extreme. I just hope we've learned the lessons - next season will not be a walk in the park, and we'll need to develop the tactical flexibility to adapt to game situations - something that's been lacking a while. |

This lad looks really promising - I do hope we don't sell him for a song in a few years' time. |

Fair point Mattin - I'm sure we'd have all done the same. Its just such a shame to see a real talent not make the grade. And its not just him - the other youngsters that were around at that time who had the big boys chasing them...Flores, Crowe - just never kicked on. Really the only successful youth products of the last 5 years are Downes, Woolfie and, arguably, Dobra (I would include Liam Gibbs, but really...) - and its difficult to see the youth getting much of a look-in any time soon. |
 | News Comment | Ex-Blue Knight Departs Murcia at 11:28:49
Remember we were outraged when he left...just one in a long line of young players who would have benefitted from staying here and developing slowly instead of making the 'big move' too young. Wonder how Tyreece Simpson's getting along at the moment.... |

Would make sense for next season. We need to have a Morsy-succession plan, and FD could be that player. Needs to have grown-up a bit since he was here last, but that was a few years ago. |

 | News Comment | Carrick: Edmundson's Done Fantastically Well at 14:45:08
re Fridge, I know he's had a few injuries, but he seems to be back to full fitness now. Is Greaves really that much of an upgrade? I'm not saying he was totally at fault for the first goal last night, there were errors all over the shop, but he was caught out of position - and the error v Villa was criminal. |
 | News Comment | Hackett: Officials Need Operational Advice For Failure to Red Card Pedro at 14:41:31
Pedro has previous too - see the failure to prosecute him for deliberately swinging an elbow vs Brentford in December. Won't help us now, but should be looked at. Repeatedly letting him get away with violent actions will only endanger fellow professionals in future. |

Should be a 10 match ban, and a public flogging. His family home should be reduced to rubble. And Wolves should be deducted 20 points. |

 | News Comment | Ashton: Delighted By Performances Even If Results Haven't Followed at 09:37:03
Guys, let's stick together, come on - what unites us is far more than minor squabbles about what was said in the past. I think we can all agree the progress made in the last 3 yrs is immense, and that this season was always going to be tough. We've also had a number of key injuries, one of two questionable ref decisions go against us with significant consequences (Leicester cost us 2 pts), little luck on the pitch and still we're competing - against sides which have all had multiple seasons in the Prem in the last 5 yrs. This is something to be proud of, whatever our position at the end of the season. And wherever we are next season we will be stronger, ready to go, with a passionate support base with Suffolk running through our veins. COYB |

Good post from LeeJames99 above - spot on with many points. Suspect the likes of Almiron and Maguire, though low fee, would come with massive wages, and are not the future that, you wisely point out, we've been investing in. Still think Muric needs time to build up a relationship within a settled defensive unit, but he has all the attributes to be a top, top keeper - not only shot stopping, but great on crosses. Communication and decision making needs work. Still think we need a more solid right back, and two defensive midfielders to cover Sam and replace Mass (Cajuste and Phillips will not be here next season), but otherwise we have cover in all areas. |
