Which would probably be the best thing to do if the NHS hadnt been underfunded for years. This way means that the need for hospital care will massively increase and it seems pretty clear the NHS doesnt have the capacity to manage at the moment, so how do they manage when they suddenly need to double their capacity

Would imagine that games will still be played when they can, even if it meant pushing the last ten games back to August and starting next season 2 months after that. Cant see any way that this season can just be written off.

Considering a high number of people will have to rely on SSP if they are off work, how many people can we realistically expect will agree to loose 7 days work if they have a cough? Even for this inept government the slow reaction has been shocking.

The government has done nothing at all to help this, wonder if you will still be praising them in 2 weeks when their massively underfunded healthcare system has collapsed due to this?

More people have died of flu because tens of millions of people catch it each year compared to 100,000 who have coronavirus, how can this be so difficult for people to understand? Flu has a death rate of 0.1%, this is killing around 4% at the moment

Banning large crowds, restricting travel, and actually testing people travelling from high risk countries would be a start. only reason this hasn’t exploded in this country is because the cases so far have been identified early and then quarantined, once you start getting hundreds of cases that’s impossible and you end up with a situation like Italy. yes a lot of people will recover but doesn’t Italy have around 30% of cases needing hospital treatment at the moment? Health system is at capacity in this country so how do we manage that? already reports from Italy a

Italy had around the same numbers that the UK currently does 2 weeks ago. Its very likely that this country will be in the exact same position in 2/3 weeks. Infact I would say its likely to be worse considering the UK government has put next to nothing in place to stop this from spreading.

Completely agree, what we needed for this sort of game. But we havent seen him put in that sort of effort in his previous 3 years at the club though. Seems obvious he is only bothered now so he can find another club

Sums him up completely that he starts to put some effort in around the same time as he needs to find another club, shouldnt be anywhere near this squad

Who would have thought Gibson hiring his mates to do a job they were massively under qualified for would turn out like this

Is Moukoudi just a loan or do we have option to buy?

Morrison could be incredible for this level and we sign him up for next season. attitude could also be shocking and he is released at the end of the season for a 5 month contract it is worth a risk though

The squad doesn’t need them though. The only way that we are going to be able to compete is by developing our own players, not giving Leicester’s back up CB game time just to loose him again in the summer. We have nothing to play for this season so there is no better time to give someone like Wood game time and look to use him next season.

Good player at this level but we will never progress as a club if we continue with loan signings which we will just loose at the end of the season. We aren’t going to make the playoffs and we aren’t going down, surely just play someone like Wood at CB. No point in giving someone else’s player game time just to finish mid table while our own players are sat on the bench.

@exWHUemployee So as I said on the podcast that is out tonight it looks like the medical has came back with some concerns about the injury he has! They are going to have to explore this further tomorrow re Randolph. That account seemed to be first to a lot of things re West Ham

He has been nothing better than average, he’s probably our highest earner and the team looks to have improved without him. 7/8 million which can then be reinvested where it’s most needed seems like a good deal for all involved

any streams for the game?

From watching the highlights, the keeper is absolutely shocking once again. Any average keeper and we wouldn’t have conceded the second and third. Imagine what having someone that bad in goal is doing to the confidence of the defenders. If we sell Randolph and persist with him it will likely get us relegated

Any streams?

Flint, Shotton, Howson, Gestede, Guedioura, Downing off the top of my head, all players who are at the wrong age, on big contracts and the club will never get their money back for them. Saville and Fletcher two others where they are at the right age but it should be obvious to anyone involved in football they aren't worth that much and we will make a loss on them.

Regardless of that it’s not difficult to see where so many clubs go wrong especially ours. Signing older players on huge contracts who have little sell on value will always come back to haunt you no matter how much money you are willing to put in. Add that with constantly changing managers on big money who want their own squad, and the club is only going one way. No excuses for Gibson at all, he’s been in football long enough to know how to do things properly, and the club is seriously paying for his mistakes

Once again tonight has shown how much we need to keep hold of Ayala, we are relegated I’d we loose both him and Randolph in January

First and third

Worrying that Pears is likely to continue in goal once Randolph is sold in January. He was absolutely woeful today, cost 2 goals that any professional keeper would have saved. Not helping a defence that already has zero confidence.

He is only having to put millions into the club because he has ran it so terribly for the last few years. Imagine having all that prem money and still being in this position
