It depends on how much the 49'ers like him, and have faith in him.
I think Radz, now, doesn't have much to say in that matter, since the 49'ers are going to take over, even if Radz still owns the majority

… Steve Bruce is available

Radz has been very quiet of late… where’s his plan of us being in the champions league? Third season was suppose to be top 6 finish wasn’t it….. not going well.

…. In between those games we have Leicester Fulham wolves Bournemouth

The home games with Fulham and Bournemouth are obviously going to be critical.

We've had lots of easy games so far and failed. Maybe we'll be better against the top teams. Or not.

Most promoted teams these days are judged by their performance in their second and third seasons, once the other teams have worked out how to counter their style of play and individual attributes of their players.

I would prefer to see a current ppg 2021/22 v ppg 2022/23 to give a better perspective.

This narrow tactics, isnt playing to our strengths.

Lot to like about us, but so so easy to play through us at times

… I don’t think we’re anything like as bad as many make out. We let the wind out of the balloon second half yesterday but I think we’ve played some good stuff this season.

Same problems we’ve had for years re not turning dangerous positions into chances.

Agree it’s concerning how simple cross field long balls in transition leave us stretched. Palace’s only real quality move I remember yesterday was the second goal… but they got plenty of half chances too easily from nothing. It’s part of marsch’s philosophy to give up the wide spaces and defend the middle but it’s hide behind the sofa time when you’re watching it.

Think this is fair.

We have had good spells in the last 5 games and the Brentford score was a freak score line for the game.

But it just looks like we have to work so much harder to score than the opposition.

And it looks to easy to work us out and nullify our threat.

Our problem is that we literally don’t score off the back of build up. And that just seems such a waste of the sides ability on the ball. Think not giving our players width is madness. They would be much more threatening.

This would be a much better side with Potter in charge. But also Howe, Frank, Vieira, Rodgers as options outside the top 6. Obviously Potter just been snapped up into the top 6.

Really think with a decent mid block and a more regular high press we could play with much more width and retain plenty of intensity in a way that just doesn’t restrict everything we do on the ball.

I coach one of Bob Bradley's family.

Marsch's appointment was a surprise to him at the time, but he's very secure right now apparently.

I dont know how to accurately describe it, but to me marsch comes across, for want of a better term, as a "paper general"

What i mean by that is, he seems to have all this good plans, and you can tell he has the team drilled well and playing to his style, but it only works on paper and not in the field cause Marsch hasn't figured out that people have figured him out.

So he goes in thinking its going to work, and then it dosent and he is stumped as what to do next so the team just works round him while he stands there thinking "but that wasn't what I planned to happen"

Cheers for asking.

In full remission... touch wood.

Finished treatment last April and bloods have been clear since before then.

Drs have said that if the leukemia was going to come back it is usually in the first year or so after its clear, they are about as confident as they can be that I'm in the clear.

Still seems pretty sereal to me that they treat my particular type of leukemia with arsenic... but I'm not complaining, I got off massively lucky in that regard as believe it or not its far, far, less toxic than the chemicals they pump through people who get the other types of leukemia.

Mattyp,

Don't know how I missed knowing about your leukaemia.

I'm really pleased that you're in the clear now. As a fellow cancer survivor, I know how tough and traumatic the road is. It's 3 years last Friday since my Whipples surgery and nearly 2 and a half years since I finished chemo, and I'm still breathing.

Here's wishing you many, many years of good health after your ordeal. Hopefully, following our team won't have a detrimental effect on your health
