Dawson is finally living up to Watford's opinion of him. :lol:

But seriously, wtf was he thinking ?

And I'm not going to slag Fabs off for one horror show, he's been good this season but we need a new keeper. I've been saying it for ages.

In fact we need about 5 players (including Lingard) to replicate this season. I have faith in the dwarf. I'm sure he'll come up with the readies.

If we don’t get a decent transfer fund in Summer, then it not worth entering Europe competition as can you imagine playing PSG & Bayern? Would be double figures.
I’ve never really believed we could qualify for the CL. Europa is more our level. I agree with you that the CL would be an embarrassment.
Without injuries we might have beaten Newcastle and given Chelsea a good game. It's a shame one of the wheels fell off however not having insurance is asking for the problem we find ourselves in now

Agree Europa league should be minimum aim now with 6 games remaining. I expect us to be 6th by the time we play next. I think both Cheats & Red Scouse finish above us. Leicester though could be caught they have a tough run in.
It’s not what you do it is the way that you do it.

Tbh it's a miracle we are where we are with the squad depth we have. It's not as if any of our youth players are breaking the door down either.

They have a very tough last 3. The first 4 are quite easy.

That’s pretty much how I read it. Imo we are better than Leicester but not as good as Liverpool or Chelsea. Or Spurs if I’m being totally honest, but they seem to be imploding.

Agreed.

Our injuries aside (and it remains to be seen if Lingard is out now), the folly of selling and not recruiting is biting us firmly on the arse. The dwarf didn't expect us to be this high so he'd paid for a squad good enough for 14th and another season of Sky money.

In normal circumstances Chelsea might have been if not there for the taking, but with one eye on Real Madrid three days later, at least resting a few. But unlike us they can field two teams capable of a top half finish.

I'm not blaming Statler and Waldorf for not selling oil instead of dildos on this occasion. It is what it is. And I can't blame them for covid and no gate receipts. But that's the difference. It's been a good ride but the fun's over and it's back to the car I fear.

Not the reason we lost mate. First two goals would have been embarrassing on Hackney Marshes.
