Mate, when you were 15 maybe, did it occur to you that, when shooting with your weaker foot, you were likely to whack it at the goalie, at around his height of diving. The first thing you adapt is either 'toe poke' it to other corner or feign and get it on your best foot. The guys in his mid twenties mate.
Should have taken a touch, he had time.
Yep, Bidwell, even Sheaf Howley and Eccles can all fill in in a pinch, or we go to four at the back. Lose Hamer and we have no creativity and drive, let alone goals and assists from any of those coming in.
Need a proper box to box midfielder we can blood this season on the assumption Gus is going next year. There will be plenty of games he’ll be needed and gives us options of going three in the middle or more attacking if we need it during a game.
This. A creative passer who isn't interested in possession stats but can also tackle and run and shoot and do set pieces.
One thing is for sure, it’s excruciating watching on SKY so I’ve snapped tickets for Saturday.
Bet they’re ten a penny, may as well pick up two!
Just said this in another thread. Completely agree. I'd say it's more important than another CB or ST

I suppose when Allen is back he might play that deeper role
I think another midfielder is really important
That's good newsYes Mark Robins also said after the game, Callum O'HARE will be on the grass very soon.
Still so pissed off we lost this, even a draw would have felt a bit disappointing.
Hopefully bounce back vs Middlesbrough at the weekend.

One of those games when you have to hope that results even themselves out.
Encouraging signs though
thought Eccles was good today but we need to get some minutes into MVE
Bobby and Joel were very good
I'm disappointed we lost but happy enough with most of what I saw.
That’s exactly how I feel too. Nothing to be downbeat about. We created a lot of chances which is encouraging. We also defended well for the most part
Had time to reflect and I'm optimistic for the season
Today we played with 2 positions where we have upgrades(on paper) ready to go
Yet we still should have best Leicester away. Whilst I don't think godden should start of he did start every game you still expect him to score 15 or so this season.
So even if robins never starts what we think is strongest side we should still expect a promotion chasing seaosn
Exciting times
