    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Zahawi was popular with Tory members iirc. The problem Reform has, is that needs talented people to join its ranks rather than party appointees. The big question mark many voters have about Reform are: 1. Can Farage work with other people effectively 2. Does it have the expertise to run...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It’s a coup for Reform to be fair. Although it’s quite funny people unearthing a tweet where Farage hammers Sunak for not sacking, you guessed it… Nadhim Zahawi. It’s going to look pretty ridiculous people calling Reform ‘fascist’ an ‘far right’ when they will probably have most Muslims in...

    Rudoni

    Rudoni looked sharp v Stoke, he was back to his to dribbling through the middle and was involved throughout. I’ll be the first to state that Rudoni and Haji’s form is a headache for Lampard, but both players were in and around the action v Stoke. Rudoni starts v Leicester for me*, Haji on the...

    There’s always a surprise or two when a team goes up. I certainly didn’t have Ballard surviving in the Sunderland team to be honest. I’ve got a feeling Simms & Wright would do well for us in the Prem. We can probably utilise their physical abilities in the Prem slightly better if we’re playing...

    Dion Sanderson was raved about that year. Which goes to show yet again that us fans have no idea what we’re talking about in relation to recruitment and talent ID’ing. I’m not exempt, outside of Cov and England, I’ll watch whatever is on TV so mostly Prem and UCL. The posters on here who can...

    I know you’re taking the piss, but I’m positively sure a lot of people were saying this seriously back in 23/24 when they got relegated! 😂

    Unfortunately for Haji, being on a 14 goal drought since October is hardly screaming ‘Premier League player’ to potential suitors domestically and abroad.

    Esse will play on the wing, Lampard said he only brought of Rudoni on Saturday to ‘protect him’. Esse playing AM at Palace was in a 3-4-2-1 shape so not quite a conventional shape that we play. In the Championship, Esse predominantly played RW for Millwall.

    There’s a few things to consider: - Haji’s form - BTA’s injury - Torp’s illness - Strength of schedule - 4 games in 9 days over Xmas We’ve had a tough December and believe that the drop was going to happen even with a full strength side.

    I’m pretty sure Sakamoto’s name is listed more than you’d expect from the question ‘who’d make the step up’. He’s good but o’mon?! His numbers are consistent since he joined, 23/24 was an outlier and he over performed his xG by a lot. Every team needs a reliable performer who is willing to do...

    It does slightly irritate me when non-coaches use ‘4’, ‘6’, ‘8’ or ‘10’ to describe those central positions. There are several roles that fits in those descriptions. I imagine the coaches have laid out exactly what they mean by these terms to the players on the training ground. For example...

    It’s delusional. I like Sakamoto but he is overrated by our fans. It’s a bit like Bidwell. Everyone loved him, couldn’t do much wrong, even after performances were declining and then suddenly the penny drops. The amount of mock depth charts I’ve seen on social media with people having Sakamoto...

    How would you describe his role? Playing as a 10 doesn’t really explain anything. After all, Rudoni plays ‘as a 10’ but the two play said role very differently. Our defensive shape is a 4-4-2 and in attack, it’s fluid. It’s also pretty normal for a 4-4-2 to have 1 striker who plays more...

    What do you mean he’s not an out and out striker? He’s been playing as a striker since he joined WBA. It’s only because we have had 2 wingers since Lampard joined. Now you have 4 wingers, we’re probably going to see less and less of BTA out wide. Personally, I’d play 4-4-2 more when we’re in...
