| Forum Reply | Southgate on borrowed time? at 14:11 26 Mar 2024
Let's be honest, he gets a lot of unfair stick, wildy unfair. I think he has done a very good job for England - has built a united team, has taken us on some fantastic tournament trips. The European championships was a fantastic journey, we ultimately fell just short of the fine margins, but it is so hard to win a major international tournament because so many nations are stacked with quality. Qualifiers & friendlies are notoriously dull and drab, regardless of who is in charge, but when it comes to tournament football we have often given a really good account of ourselves and had some memorable days. International football is largely dull overall anyway, it's only ever good for 4/5 weeks every 2 years. [Post edited 26 Mar 14:39]

They seem to have taken some stick for it. Bizarre, will look lovely I think, beautiful location, will be full every single week, nice and tight to the pitch, steep side stands. I don't understand the criticism, think it will be a really nice stadium. |

| Forum Reply | We CANT DEFEND!!! at 18:06 9 Mar 2024
I don’t think we are the best defensive side in the division at all - but I think you need a bit more balance to your argument than ‘we can’t defend’. We are certainly susceptible to conceding goals, this is nothing new, we have been the same all season, I think it is partly due to our expansive attacking playing style, and partly down to defensive lapses. Today we saw the consequence of conceding late and it hurt us, but I also have to say I thought we were poor offensively as well today - don’t think we deserved 3 points today. We take the medicine, we have dished it out enough with late comebacks this year. We dust ourselves down and bounce back like we do so well. COYB! |
| Forum Reply | So just to confirm other teams think we are at 12:28 5 Mar 2024
They can call us lucky, loanees or dirty. What we are is 2nd in the Championship on 75 points after 35 games. You don't get there unless you're very good, and make no mistake, irrelevant of what any other supporter says, we are very very good. |

Really good player and will have a really good career, whether here or away I don't know - probably depends on circumstance come the end of the season. Always had technical ability, but his physical development has really helped him over the past few years - really looks like bloke rather than a boy now. |
| Forum Reply | Davis for £20m+ at 14:00 28 Feb 2024
He'll be valued around £20m, that is for sure - would likely end and settle at £15m or so. You simply couldn't turn that down if we weren't promoted. It's the process of successful recruitment, Brighton have been doing it for a long time. You go and find the 'next Leif Davis'. |
| Forum Reply | FabriziOmari at 14:50 27 Feb 2024
Mason Mount can top that list for £50m. |
| Forum Reply | FabriziOmari at 13:28 27 Feb 2024
I like him, he's a really talented boy. To say he is destined for the very top is probably getting ahead of yourself a little bit though. He's in a rich vein of form, but still lots of development in him. |
| Forum Reply | FabriziOmari at 11:58 27 Feb 2024
He's doing very well here, he is in a real good run of form lately. I think the loan is working out really well for us, but also Omari, he probably could not have had a better real introduction to senior football. He's at a club with real ambition, a club that plays a way that suits his attacking style, a team that is performing at the top end of the Championship, and working under one of the best young managers in Europe. It has worked well for both, he still has a lot development in him, and look forward to seeing his journey. |
| Forum Reply | Which premier league team do we play like? at 07:56 19 Feb 2024
Brighton. KMc and RBZ have a similar style with their press-baiting to make attacks look like transitional/counter-attacks. Front line we are a bit different though the way Broadhead drifts inside to make that box overload centrally and Davis attacks the space left by Broadhead. Brighton use more natural width from both their wide men. |
| Forum Reply | You know what, we are going to do this arent we at 00:33 18 Feb 2024
I think top 2 is just beyond us. But, it takes absolutely nothing away from how immensely good this group is, how well coached they are in our style of play, the belief and confidence in their own ability to consistently play the way we play. We are fighting against tanks with a pistol in terms of budgets and resources. A truly remarkable team. |

Liam Manning a recent example of that. Hottest property in EFL to being sacked within 12 months. He didn't make that mistake twice at Oxford. Football is a ruthless business. |

Absolutely. Nothing to be negative about! When you think about the journey this group/club have been on in the past 18 months, we are 4th in the Championship!! People have got a little carried away if they think we’ll just cruise along winning every week. This division is tough, really tough, and we are sitting 4th in the division! Relax, enjoy the continued journey we are on and back the boys! COYB! |
| Forum Reply | At least the rest of the board agree with this, it might make some people… at 13:31 11 Feb 2024
That’s not a surprise. This is a fans forum where we can discuss all things ITFC, both good and bad - but there is never any need to be personal in any attacks on people. I have said the same even when I think players have been out of form lately, with Ladapo & Broadhead, but there is never any need to go overboard or personal on people. Always try and keep things sensible & balanced. Edit : I’m not piling on to you Frimley or directly at you (just talking in general), to be honest I probably don’t read the forum enough to see much of your posts. I’ve seen your comments about whack-a-ball, but they’re just silly rather than personal. [Post edited 11 Feb 19:02]

Reading up their finances last night, I think they need a promotion in the next 3 years (inc. this season). |

Good showcase of him. All box goals, mix of headers, good finishing, poaching & penalties. Really like him as a centre forward. I don’t understand any concerns about his mobility, I think he moves really well for a big centre forward. Really happy with this one. |

By the way, special talent Kobbie Mainoo, looked a really special talent since he’s broken in to the first team. |
