Spot on Trebor Bamford is looking worse each game.
Even his chasing back to help the team is becoming ineffective.
I`m more worried about Brentford then I am WBA but saying that Albion do have the players to turn it around.
Whilst I agree Bamford should have scored as a striker.
Costa`s was equally a sitter that should have won the game.
We do seem to struggle against teams at the bottom though.

JKA won't be playing again for us, confirming what most suspected.

Wigan confirmed as going into administration. Perfect timing as they're playing Brentford next!

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Wed Jul 01, 2020 2:24 pm  

JKA, god I'd forgotten about him altogether. Far too comfortable for Bamford up front...

Shame as if he was fit he might well have finished off a fair few goals that Bamford missed.
Unfortunately we will never know.
Is it down to him not training or his injuries?

He was fit, apparently, but i don't think Leeds wanted to buy him, so didn't want to trigger the permanent clause by playing him.

Cheers mate.
Very odd when we brought him in to do a job and he looked the right fit for the team.
I could understand our reluctance to sign him if we were banging in the goals

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Wed Jul 01, 2020 4:42 pm  

Re JKA we are still committed to buy him if we go up apparently... so I find it bizarre that we have not extended his loan. Even if he’s only fit for last couple of games he could have made a difference

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Jul 03, 2020 7:26 am  

If that`s true it is very baffling as we need someone up front who can score goals.
And I wish someone would have a word with Kalvin and tell him he is not the answer to our deadball routine.
Corners are a joke and I can`t remember when we scored from one or even troubled the keeper.

All down to Bielsa that... he’s a great coach but has some big flaws imo. That’s why he’s not won as much as he should have as a manager

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Jul 03, 2020 2:04 pm  

JKA's side are saying he still has a hamstring strain, but Bielsa doesn't seem to be buying that, so doesn't want to keep him.
