I do agree wirh all comments about Obikwu being positive
He was mobile, made himself available and the chance he had, he was in the right position, controlled the through ball and manufactured himself so that he had a clear shot on goal.
Personally, I was encouraged as I thought he would be one that would be permanently injured whether he was injured or not.
Lets hope he gets a bit of confidence from his appearance. |

Difficult to judge on one appearance.
Did nothing particularly wrong. Was ok but needs a run of games before assessing him.
Kemper has had a few games and performed at a higher level and for me has the jersey for now, but Cirkin should do well.
I am wondering if he can play right side also as Adamson has had a couple of streaky perfomances and I would prefer he just was a sub to come on , this Saturday but with Lamptey and Mbengue out, its unlikely.
Unless JD does his right back extraordinaire performances again with JCS hopefully available. |

Bit worried Kamara is turning out a la Hayden.
Supremely solid in his first half a dozen games and then reverting to type.
Hayden was praised big time in his first few games for us and showing that mature and high quality solid dependable centre mid, but then drifted into mediocrity.
Kamara I do hope does not go down the same rabbit hole.
Madsen is now being missed and today I had hoped Isak could have had a fifteen minute run out. He looked very tidy in pre season and with our lack of depth and quality in these areas, hope he gets an opportunity soon. Maybe on Saturday. |

Well we have Lloyd and Burrell injured, Kone occasionally firing, Kolli not proving at all, as yet that he is the prodigal son, so Obikwu deserves a chance.
Tbf, he made the chance himself, but can imagine it was a brown pants moment.
It would have been incredible if he had put it away, but alas. [Post edited 3 Nov 23:14]

So you beat the league leaders with a supremely brilliant display. Five zip and probably should have been two or three more.
Then, you would expect confidence oozing through the team.
Forget the Southampton game, but you play against a poor Burnley team languishing in the bottom three and with only one win in thirteen games.
And the performance that follows is in a word - TIMID......
A severe lack of confidence seemed to be shown by all players - why, why, why does this happen....
I dont perform my job front of a crowd but if I am doing well, its noticed, my Mrs loves me and all my friends respect me, I gain an extra spring in my step.
If my job is under threat, I become nervous and erratic, I become a little less predictable and those around me wonder whats going wrong and it seems to escalate and then it seems everything turns to dust.
So why when the last home game all the players put in fantastic performances, why do they follow up with a game like tonight.
It looked like the sort of game we were going to lose. Tbf, I was surprised we managed to craft an equaliser.
But tonight is all I hate about supporting this fricking football club. I know all clubs have their ups and downs but inconsistencies and a severe lack of confidence and abilities in attempts on goal is sometimes very painful, when they should be on top of the hill.
Painful !!! [Post edited 3 Nov 23:16]

Will agree to disagree then Ned.
I just think Scott Parkers' time is nearing its end. West Ham are struggling and Scott Parkers plans are well known and think him coming into this kind of team, he won't make positive changes enough for improvements in results.
Also, probably am hoping this too, simply because I don't like him. |

Is he injury prone or just not at the right level.
Been on the bench three or four times this season.
But as has been said to not come on when we are winning four and five nil up, even for a brief cameo, probably suggests its unlikely to happen for him here. [Post edited 2 Nov 22:48]

Bill Wyman was with Mandy Smith when she was 13 and I remember at the time it was sensationalised in the national papers as Bill Wyman being a bit of a lad. Very rock and roll. Nothing was deemed weird about it, I seem to remember. How fricking psycho was that.
Sometimes, times do, on the odd occasions, change for the better.

Scottish man I knew 15 years ago for a time, he grew up where Jocky Wilson was and was a mate of his. The bloke I knew probably trained like Jocky on a bottle of Scotch for breakfast.
Sad though an athlete can die so young.
We going to have another one soon in Chris Hoy. One of our all time Olympians early 50s.
Makes you wonder sometimes what exactly is the route to a long and happy life.
Probably don't support Queens Park Rangers !! [Post edited 2 Nov 22:26]

Thread | Where we fail - Wingers as back up defenders
at 07:55 1 Nov 2026
Vale and Poku are both very poor defensively. Definitely an issue we need to address. Dembele and Saito likewise. Our only wide man that can defend as well is Paul Smyth.
Maybe Steve Bould needs extra time on the training pitch with these guys doing defensive drills.
We have four or five decent full backs, but against the better teams, we need our wide men up top to help, because the full backs can't do it all alone.
Definitely for me an issue that needs looking at. Saints opened us up on the flanks with ease yesterday !!

Varane i thought was reasonable today, especially first half. Kamara was poor today though.
It shows in the against the best teams we need Madsen.
Madsen and Burrell and we do better. Hope they both return after the international break.
We need at least four points from the two home games, hopefully six and these two come back and we go again.
Southampton are probably the best team in the league but i dont think they got punished enough for cheating. Their manager should have got a six month ban for me, so hope somehow they f**k it up. Really dont like them. |

How about our lilac kit - hate it.
I actually bought the black kit this season. i would wear this for away games and we seem to have had good results in it, but the lilac is just wrong for me.
If you want to intimidate, mean black or lightweight light purple !!!! [Post edited 1 Nov 5:49]
