I'd have been disappointed if you went with anything else, it feels inevitable |

not quite what he said, he did say it wasn't all fans but he's right it was toxic at the time and only real option was to go when the board were trying to get him to ride it out |

at the time Les was pushing for Sinclair Armstrong to get in the squad as they were trying to get him to sign a new deal which is why I thought it was Gray, but could be anyone really, might be going back further to when McLCaren was playing any old shit instead of bright Samuel and Manning [Post edited 28 Mar 9:57]

I'd agree in the Premier League but for England that's not normally the case, hopefully that continues Ideally he'd have been replaced by now but Colwill not had a great season at Chelsea who I thought would come in for the Euros, Dunk another not having a good season whilst most of the others are right sided. I agree he's a weak point of the team but do think he's still the best we have |

who has he come up short against? I can't think of many times. Could have done better with marking for 2nd France goal in last world cup, other than that was very good in last Euros and 2018 world cup. Makes loads of mistakes for Man Utd but not usually for England Henderson may be past his best now but again never a liability, was superb for Liverpool in the Champions league and very good at the last world cup |

He's played that left side for England the last 6 years and not really been a problem for him, does make mistakes but usually pretty reliable for England |

defensive problems came partly from midfield as we left big gaps with so many going forward and open to counter attack, If we go far and face a top side I can't see him playing a midfield that attacking again. Walkers pace does make a big difference and bails us out. |

I can't see Mount or Phillips getting in the squad, if Grealish finishes the season well he might get in but not at the moment Maguire gets a lot of stick but he's probably the best we have at the moment, last tournament for him as imagine Colwill or the young Liverpool kid will replace him in the next few years |

I don't rate Wan Bissaka at all. Gomez was basically 5th choice right back last night due to the injuries |

all subjective but I think Kane, Walker and Stones are all world class as well |

I had a feeling Dan James was going to miss, never looked confident |

thought England played quite well, 2 bad mistakes for the goals and doubt that back 4 will play in the summer when Walker, Shaw, Maguire and co are all back. Konsa did quite well though and Gomez should get in due to his versatility. Shame Branthwate didn't play but Dunk been very good in recent years and deserved a chance, sadly for him didn't really take it although did better second half Mainoo and Toney both excellent, Bowen did well, Foden was better second half when he came inside, looking forward to the summer, thought Belgium looked alright as well |

No he didn't name any names but did say we went down with multiple players on 70k a week refusing to play and slagging the club off who we couldn't get rid of |

Yeah i think it will be Frey, would go with Armstrong myself with Frey coming on second half but would be surprised if he sticks with Dykes at Swansea after the Sunderland game |

Yeah Sinclair has been away, scored twice on Friday I think |
| Forum Reply | The terrific trio at 11:41 26 Mar 2024
big thing for me at the weekend is how we start the game, we tend to look nervy from the start playing out from the back, give away throw ins and chances, for this one I'd start Armstrong up front and have an out ball for him to chase and play in their half. I know we have a way of playing etc but this will be a dog ugly game and we need to adapt and make sure we're not behind in the first 20 minutes and give them something to hold onto For me this has got draw written all over it [Post edited 26 Mar 11:42]

Roy Keane is brilliant on these podcasts, so different to what you see on tv The bit on QPR was nothing we hadn't heard before really but the whole show is so good and he came across well imo |
