A decent effort yesterday from Jack Draper losing out to a seeded opponent in Alex De Minaur. Clearly has a lot of talent and physically powerful, just a few too many unforced errors/fatigue towards the end. When considering he's only 20 and still relatively new to the tour, it's perhaps not...

Most of the teams I have a soft spot for are linked to who I've managed on Championship/Football Manager over the years. Exeter City and Real Betis to name just two!

I could debate all day about 1 or 2 up top and what formation, state of the pitch e.t.c. I felt the mentality/approach to the game were just nerves and apprehension personified. We didn't ever really look like trying to get the ball down and build some pressure and momentum by just keeping the...

The 2 goals conceded from corners I'd think are more of a coach/tactical issue. It looks like we're marking zonally/being instructed to more or less defend the width of the goal. That being said if Ostigard times his jump better most of us probably do not bring up the issue. Final point on...

Kelly continuously just shows an awareness to either win the ball back through interceptions or cut off passes and slow attacks down. An all round, intelligent footballer and as so many have said the game changed when he came on. Interesting to see how unlike MK who pressed us high, we were...

Very frustrating. When we are able to link 3 passes together we actually are able to get out of our half and attack with some purpose. We've got out down the left with Giles, other occasions we've mistimed passes/runs in behind to get O'Hare and Godden in. Credit to MK, they've pressed us well...

Bournemouth's relegation and his injury issues do lessen his value. However, you can argue that if he goes to a club with a few options in their front line his requirement to play every game and increase risk of injury is lessened? Could £20M be seen as a calculated risk to help a bottom...

Agreed. In addition to this, these sides have complete understanding of their sides playing philosophy with and without the ball. I've been an admirer of Bielsa's teams and watched a lot of Leeds this season and last. It's all well and good and having a side of technicians or a side of powerful...

On the basis Max scored last night and Godden hasn't in the games you mentioned then you're fair to point that out. For what it is worth I'd have no issue if Robins started Biamou over Godden if he felt it gave us the best chance of a win. Biamou does provide us with a focal point and energy and...

Regardless of when Godden scores or not I think he's effective for the team as he occupies the centre backs. He doesn't come short to get involved with the play and by playing on the shoulder of the defence it allows Westbrooke/O'Hare/Allen/Walsh to receive on the half turn between oppositions...

Players will ultimately be selected based on what they provide us in 3 phases of the game; what they do in/out of possession as well as transitions from having the ball to not having it and vice versa. Shipley has an engine on him that allows him to run box to box and support attacks as well as...

The season prior to us signing him he did well in a good Shrewsbury team but didn't he also sustain a bad injury? Secondly Mason has come in and is steadily improving. McCallum looks a good prospect; from a business perspective it makes sense to free the pathway for Mason and McCallum to...

Just looking at the types of goals he scores following a quick you tube search I think he'll compliment our playing style well. Granted a few of the goals he was scoring in league 2 were hopeful balls in behind where he turned an average ball into a good one, however there also other examples of...

He'll be a great signing for you. Some say last year he was average and they'd be fair in saying so, however he was in his first full season last year having burst onto the scene around Christmas time the year before. He'll be an excellent box to box midfielder in my opinion. Receiving the...

The 3-2 win v Chelsea sticks in my mind as I remember my dads words being, "we could see some goals today, I'll go for a 3-2 win". As a 7/8 year old I thought he was some sort of football oracle! Fast forward around 10 years, Barnsley away in a 4-1 win under Dowie was great. Hot day, I was 18 so...
