    Berra and Pablo are by all accounts model pros and Alioski is fun and trains hard. All three are experienced enough to realise that there are bumps along the road. All three knew the club, the fans and what English football is all about.

    Hard to replace.
    Sorry, they had to be replaced but the replacements well that's another story. If we survive we will need to replace the replacements lol.

    Alioski was replaced with Firpo but the other two haven’t been and we miss a Pablo type player who can direct a game.

    Letting alioski go was a monumental blunder

    Dont see why Alioski "needed replacing". He was most definitely holding his own, at least in most situations, was a real talisman for the team (and got under the skin of the opposition like no-one else in the squad). Hernandez, maybe, but then your comment about who we replaced him/them with applies.

    Stating the blindingly obvious but we have the opportunity to pick up points over the next few weeks to not only pull away but put pressure on the bottom 3 - whilst we keep losing we give them hope of catching us.
    Wasn't really an upturn in form though - they where a bit lucky against the leagues bottom team, and wasnt that their first points in 7 games?

    Not replacing Pablo is by far the biggest gripe I have with our board/Bielsa whoever is to blame

    It would appear that he is still trying after all. Unfortunately his efforts are lost in the cesspit of abject mediocrity that surrounds him

    Looked very good today.

    Intense and a team player.... almost to a fault.

    Let's hope he's playing for his huge contract. we need all the help we can get.

    Only seen highlights but he looked the player we all know can be, his last minute effort to run and beat the defender then keeper and lay on a plate for geldhart was sublime.
