He talks as if it has nothing to do with him! Massive summer ahead. Has to get his team and then get them going early. Promotion the only result that's good enough next season

Essentially, we've got a team of softarses with absolutely no pace. Needs a big old change in the summer. Sticking with Evatt for most of the January window when it was clear it wasn't working was a massive mistake. And badly need a goalscorer. Apart from that, it's all good

Big summer for Schumacher. After the initial bounce he doesn't seem to have been able to get a tune out of this lot. Hopefully getting in some of his own players will do the trick

Woeful. Not having a shot on target is unforgivable

The newspaper production team are baffled by this talk of a 'four-day weekend'!

Surely with five defeats in the last seven, some part of it is on him, too?

We are such a weak team, mentally and physically

I assumed you would learn more about a player in the final minute (decision making etc) when they're tired, than before. But then again, they will watch a ridiculous amount of games

A lot of scouts used to leave before the end of matches, which I find mad. My dad randomly sat next to an Aston Villa scout at Holland v Argentina at France 98. The scout left before the end and missed the Bergkamp goal. Thought that was ridiculous. I've also seen plenty of scouts go before the end

The Diddler, the Penguin and the Joker?

Not conceding the first goal in 90% of matches would be a start. Some of the players have coasted through the last couple of years. If we miss out on play-offs, squad changes are needed, and especially more pace

Sure the Premier League was North West-heavy 15 or so years ago. Southern clubs more attractive to money than middling Northern ones. And have all those clubs used data etc better in the past decade?

One day we might not concede the first goal in a game. Absolutely ridiculous under Schumacher, and it wasn't great under Evatt

Surely one of them should be played by alpacino

If Mitchell plays for Arsenal and Myles Lewis-Skelly plays for Palace, Mitchell is in the squad and starting
