Professional pride is an interesting concept - seems to me what is missing is the desire to grind games out even when they are not playing well.  How many times have you said Sheffield Utd are a poor side yet without a points deduction they would be leading the table.  You are correct on paper not as good a side as Leeds yet they keep winning!!  Burnley are a good side as good as Leeds much better defensively not as good up front.  Interesting run in.


Bonus if you are making £1m+ a year what kind of bonus is going to actually make any kind of financial difference to these players?


Aaronson - what has he actually created since Christmas other than a chance for the QPR player?  Lacks basic skills and seems incapable of winning a challenge.

who starts in goal???
darlow for me but not sure what farke will do

Darlow for me too but he`s average at best imo.
Said before Cairns is the best of the 3.
With your goalkeepers hat on Tad do you think Meslier has lost his confidence and should be dropped?
Interesting what big Sam said when he dropped him.
Said Meslier wasn`t happy and was angry and sulked for a few days.

meslier is better than darlow but darlow is steadier. less errors.
that's my view.
stick or twist???
I think it's how the other players, especially the back 4 feel.
have they lost confidence in him? 
rodon and ampedu play with darlow at Wales remember.
honestly, I've no idea which way farke will go.

That's a good point Tad as I do feel the back 4 have lost it with Meslier and Rodon/Ampadu would prefer Darlow.
Farke can`t win. He sticks with Meslier who has another howler and fans will be onto him for not dropping him.
He goes with Darlow who messes up and fans will say he should have stuck with Meslier.
Oh to be a manager.
That`s what he gets paid for I guess.

yep. and lots of fans, ridiculously, hate him because he isn't bielsa!
