So now it's come out that Frank had a falling out with a few of the players after the Southampton game. This resulted in Dacoure being dropped and left out of the squad.
If this is true then there is no hope for Frank. Sadly player power always wins these days,
1.) 23 Jan 2023 13:20:40
Totally agree, as much as I don't like frank he is the boss and is in charge and players should show a bit of respect and do as they are told. Player have to much power and that is a massive problem with today's game.
2.) 23 Jan 2023 13:32:34
How dare Dacoure show some passion and fight for the team!
3.) 23 Jan 2023 14:28:23
Show it on the pitch and he may have a point. Not put in a decent performance in months. More like him and Keane have spat the dummies out for not playing but don’t perform when they get a chance. Lamps had every right to push them aside.
4.) 23 Jan 2023 14:41:02
All depends on what doucore has said - if it’s to tell Frank some home truths about how bad the team and tactics are then I’d make doucore captain not bin him to the reserves!
5.) 23 Jan 2023 14:42:24
It’s a pity he never did it in the pitch.
6.) 23 Jan 2023 14:46:18
He argued over tactics and it seems he wasn't the only one as did the fans we could all see his tactics were poor or are us fans meant to show respect and say nothing and watch us slip into oblivion.
7.) 23 Jan 2023 20:52:31
Original AJ - well that would be a first. Have watched him amble round the pitch not giving a toss for years now so forgive me for not wanting to slap him on the back for "showing passion" by arguing with his manager in front of teammates because he's not getting a game anymore.
26 Dec 2020 19:26:22
Anyone know why we have two keepers on the subs bench?
{Ed025's Note - i dont mate..

So now we might be flogging the ground before we even move in. Just one more kick in the nuts eh.
1.) 14 Apr 2024 10:06:15
As a toffee who's lived in Oxford for many years and witnessed the farce of what was once Oxford UTD new 3 sided stadium 20or so years ago and the crazy ownership model and naming rights bestowed on the club (currently waiting for approval on yet another new stadium to become their own as they receive bugger all revenue) I was always commenting from the outset that this new stadium could never be nor would ever be owned by the club. It's the entire reason FM bought in along with all the properties in Liverpool his business now owns. He will continue to be a part landlord for decades to come because that was only ever where the pay day was. This was always about real estate.
2.) 14 Apr 2024 12:38:50
Not owning our ground would be very very worrying. Look at the three clubs that went out of business in the Gallagher Premiership last year, Wasps, London Irish and Worcester. None of them owned their ground and therefore none of them had sufficient match day revenue or were able to make use of the ground during the summer months by hiring it out, for example, for concerts etc. All these now no longer exist. All three were big, historic clubs, in Wasps case, one of the biggest clubs in Europe. I think selling the ground would be catastrophic.
3.) 14 Apr 2024 13:43:35
It would almost be worth walking away and keeping the old lady. But that's gone. So another site for our ground? A very real possibility in the not so distant future if this does end up owned and we end up as a tenant.
4.) 14 Apr 2024 15:42:14
Would rather flog all the players and keep the ground. That’s our future, they are not.
5.) 14 Apr 2024 15:55:05
Bring the two Everton lads on board, convert their loans into equity. We are in deep rubbish and need to learn how to walk again. Tenancy on good terms or part ownership is a good idea.
14 Apr 2024 09:18:09
Well done Duncan, got your team out of the relegation zone.
25 Feb 2024 12:04:29
It was nice to see Onana coming short to take the ball off Pickford, stop him just punting it down the pitch. Trouble was when he got it their was zero movement from the other players. The likes of Harrison and McNeil offered nothing, so half the time the ball ended up going backwards.
And can someone please tell me why Dobbin who has pace is still being overlooked by the manager. I mean we must have the slowest wide men in the league.
1.) 25 Feb 2024 12:22:49
Movement all of the pitch is poor Brass.
Numbers supporting is poor too, our full backs very rarely overlap, only Dacoure is allowed to join attacks. Other than being solid and staying up, which is very important of course, I can’t get behind this style of football long term.
2.) 25 Feb 2024 14:12:57
This is one of the main reasons we will see Onana go up considerable levels when he moves to an Arsenal etc. Ever since he came in, he always looks to collect the ball or win it back and break us forward but the lad is literally staring at mannequins.
He gets his fair share of critics online but when you are playing with absolute fodder, it is hard to look good.
I thought when we stole him from West Ham that he will be at us for a season or 2 and then go onto a much higher level and that hasn't changed. There is a reason the higher level clubs are all sniffing around him. They clearly see what the lad is and can be and don't appear to judge him whilst he is being unequivocally handicapped by the average and uninspiring players around him.
3.) 25 Feb 2024 15:40:26
Here here. For what is regarded as a " very knowledgeable fanbase" he gets some moronic flack. He's 22 and in a few years is going to be a beast. It's the same idiots who can't bring themselves to ever give Rikky any praise. Will be a shame to see him go but yet again the club is left behind with it's ambition lower than a players. We are that kid that shouldn't have nice things.
01 Feb 2024 10:48:31
looking at the team against Fulham I was thinking who do you think is Premiership quality and who is Championship level.
So here's my thoughts.
Pickford-P
Godfrey-P
Tarkowski-P
Branthwaite-P
Young-C
Garner-P
McNeil-C
Danjuma-C
Harrison-C
DCL-C
Beto-C
Dobbin-C
Think this highlights where our main problems lie.
Feel free to disagree, or give me your views.
Just trying to take my mind off all the crap going on right now.
1.) 01 Feb 2024 11:44:31
Godfrey Premiership level no way I couldn’t imagine any other team in the Premiership that would buy him now.
2.) 01 Feb 2024 12:02:51
I agree BB except for DCL and to a degree Dobbin.
The way Dyche sets out his team it must be a nightmare for a forward to play the lone striker role. With the exception of Doucoure there is no one with the energy or pace to break quickly to support DCL. He’s currently getting a lot of stick but what he’s not getting, despite making runs into space, is any form of decent service.
I see ratings given to players, following games, which quite honestly display a total lack of real football understanding.
As far a Dobbin is concerned, he really hasn’t had a fair chance to display his ability. I look over the park and see a number of youngsters being introduced, not for 10- 15 minutes when it doesn’t really give the players a chance to get to the pace of the game let alone make an impact, but for a run of games. Unfortunately, our manager and coaching staff seem to be of the opinion that you need to be at least 23 years of age before you can possibly be considered for selection- absolutely ridiculous, if you’re good enough you’re old enough.
3.) 01 Feb 2024 14:43:41
You can't win anything with kids. ?.
4.) 01 Feb 2024 16:11:06
That's ok FS, it was done to get people's opinions mate.
5.) 01 Feb 2024 16:13:59
For me, it depends on whether you take their best performances, or their average performances. McNeil for example, has had a couple of spells when he's been very effective at Prem level. The right coaching of course makes a massive difference. Just look at Newcastle - Howe has transformed players like Longstaff and Schar into very impactful players.
6.) 02 Feb 2024 00:15:34
What makes a player Prem class? You could argue its the better players in relegated teams and most players in teams from 17th up. From the list in original the original post McNeil, Harrison, DCL are definitely prem class. Are they top 6 players? No but they are good enough to play in the Premier league.
7.) 02 Feb 2024 11:49:06
DCL and Beto currently Prem Bench - but we don't have two for replacement - Dobbin is better than Championship.
25 Jan 2024 17:32:30
Dele Alli will be in his fifties before he gets fit enough to play. Hard to believe we are paying 100k a week for nothing. And at a time when every penny counts.
{Ed025's Note - yet another incredibly bad piece of business Brass, i would love to see the size of the brown envelope involved in that deal mate..
1.) 25 Jan 2024 18:11:53
Shame, was willing to give him a chance to see if he had exorcised his demons but that’s never going to happen now. He’ll go in the summer and I’d expect him to announce his retirement.
2.) 25 Jan 2024 20:36:37
It started to go wrong when he arrived in a Rolls Royce.
3.) 25 Jan 2024 22:28:08
Don’t we still have to sort out the finances with Spurs?
{Ed025's Note - we do Swinners, no doubt we will get screwed again, meanwhile Alli will be sunning himself on a sunbed in Dubai whilst spending his £100k a week on cocktails and loose women mate..
4.) 26 Jan 2024 11:25:11
Whilst a terrible deal, think there was something in there that we’d have had to have paid a larger sum had he achieved 20+ appearances for us so a small silver lining in a disastrous deal as he’s not going to manage that.
5.) 26 Jan 2024 14:03:38
Shame it didn't work out in the end. The only highlight of his EFC career was the Palace game when we ultimately stayed up. Him grabbing the ball and taking a quick throw in resulted in us scoring if I remember right? Sad it's his main contribution in a blue shirt.
6.) 26 Jan 2024 21:13:23
Anyone know the situation with Spurs and Alli? Is it going to tip us into more financial turmoil and a further points deduction?
Wow - it’s fun to be a blue isn’t it?
7.) 26 Jan 2024 23:25:12
Hopefully it’s changing now BR, but it dreadfully depressing that any progress we look like making is handicapped but previous years’ mismanagement.

Just another pen pusher trying to make a story out of this. Nobody has any idea what we are going to get. Just depends on the "Independent" panel on the day.
17 Mar 2024 10:17:05
Apparently Dyche was annoyed because the lads were playing darts and none of them could hit the board.
16 Mar 2024 08:42:07
Dyche gave Patterson a tap on the head and some of the players didn't like it. Good to see the players supporting each other, not so good for the manager.
23 Jan 2024 16:47:09
Might not have a choice.
22 Jan 2024 18:40:05
20m for a 31 year old would be decent business.

Agree GB we all have opinions mate. But nobody will convince me that Young should be in the team.
04 Apr 2024 10:21:42
We will beat Burnley if he changes the formation and bins Young. If we persist with that formation then it will be a draw, and Dyche will see that as good result.
19 Mar 2024 09:46:48
Excellent post Ed001. Thank you.
{Ed001's Note - thank you BB. I hope it helps a bit at least.}
11 Mar 2024 15:43:57
McNeel and Arrison garbage too.
10 Mar 2024 16:51:16
Sorry these guys are paid a lot of money to play football. Passing and shooting should be a given.
