january coming round and its clear we will be buying but why are the board so obsessed with big name/marquis players? why not do better research on players instead of oh yeah heard of him he must be good lets buy!! sturridge and now mandzukic have been linked with moves...the latter is 30 never played in this league why would he be a success? the former is selfish and when injured its never short term err been there doing that right now..
so why buy names? is it because they fear as fans we would not go if we have never heard of the player?...yes sometimes it is nice to be linked to players with high profiles but come on Antonio is proof that you can unearth real gems for little outlay and now his profile is as high as most in the prem....so stop scouring the foreign market to death lets have a look closer to home and whilst you do have to pay more surely its better than laying out big bucks for lame ducks.....

According to the Telegraph WH's owners are looking at other managerial options. My message to them, CONCENTRATE ON WHAT WE HAVE!
Sacking the man is not the answer. This constant panicking and managerial merry go round is ludicrous.
I'm sure there are a few WH fans that think it's time for a new man but we're not the Spuds who change their manager every time the wind changes direction! This constant need for immediate success is a blight on the game. I hope G&S hold firm with Slaven. We'll climb the table soon enough, we're 12 games in FFS, not even putting up the xmas lights!

after having a day to mull over the devastating loss personally I think we were just plain unlucky. Yes they could have had another penalty from ogbonna but then Jansen could have got a red too…so overall the decisions were probably even enough. i thought it was a definite penalty from nordveit, he was caught out by a good turn from Son. However the biggest error of the day was from Randolph. theres no way he should have lost sight of that cross and then of course Kane is in the right place at the right time to score. its a sad state of affairs because in my view we actually played a clever plan of a 5-4-1 which lets be honest spurs struggled with all game. for this i credit bilic as he did his homework and came up with something to thwart what is a good side on paper. he can't legislate or take blame for randolph mistake or for nordveit getting in a tangle late on. however i would say that he got the subs wrong. payet may be tiring but to bring on fernandez and nordveit at that time just allowed spurs to bring on the wave after wave ending that we could have avoided had we continued to stifle and press on the counter. so overall its a tough result to take…when kane put the penalty in i wanted to trash the house …this is the second time at WHL in what two seasons we concede a last min penalty for kane to run off fist raised at our expense. but we can take heart in that we are looking like a side that is able to compete against the better sides like spurs and chelsea again. we just have to cut out the mistakes.

impossible I know and undeserved but I want to talk about how much more fluid we were today and how much better we were through the middle of the park we were quicker sharper in moving the ball...obiang was immense and lanzini had a great game.....will noble struggle to get back in on todays performance? sakho of course way off match fitness tried hard but he was heavy legged but games under his belt he will get that back its just unfortunate those games are manure gooners and poo.........fernandes looked good again Antonio just gets better and better and scores no matter what position he plays in. we still have work to do of course but despite the travesty of todays result the team played well for 89mins!
