Come on, that’s bollocks.

Will hugely disappoint me to lose him, but it will happen by the summer you’d expect. Think it may start a redesign of the defensive side of our game - given our frailty I wouldn’t be averse to playing 4 CBs across the back line a bit like Arsenal, but with the ball-playing capability to move...

Right, I think O’Hare post-injury is a shadow of himself. However, as good as it is that Rudoni is outperforming him in the G+A stakes, he doesn’t replicate large parts of what O’Hare brought to the team. We need to find that drive from somewhere both in attack and defence.

Our approach today played out the way I feared pre-match. With EMC out and Rudoni shifted out wide to drift inside, I thought the onus would be on Bidwell a lot more to provide the width and we’d end up compensating elsewhere. Eccles played a lot deeper than the other day and MVE barely got into...

They are very compact. Every time we create an overload out wide we go the other way. Poor decision making, far too slow and risk averse.

Oh it absolutely would be. I just think you’d struggle giving Dasilva away to the circus as it is.

Think Michael Keane is out of contract in the summer and would have worked with Lampard at Everton.

Daft as it sounds, I doubt he was signed for his finishing ability. Would imagine he was seen more as a defensive forward who would press and stay positionally disciplined, replacing what Godden gave us there but with more pace. As it happens, we then signed Bassette which made the whole...

Personally not that keen on him anyway. Not saying he’s a bad player, and he’s definitely our best LB at the moment (although I keep saying I’d be interested to see Binks there). I think his defensive abilities are overblown on the count of him ‘looking hard’, he’s not great on the ball and he’s...

Not a great goal, but a great collection of one-touch finishes. Hugo Sanchez, 38 goals in a season all first time finishes.

If I remember correctly, early on last season we were performing about par with our XG against but underperforming XG for. I’d imagine that is a lot easier to correct.

And that’s why, on a game-by-game basis it’s not hugely useful. It’s the equivalent of saying we’re now in excellent form because we won the last game 4-0.

It’s frustrating. On an individual level I don’t really have a problem with any of the signings bar Kitching (only due to the fee) but as a collective it’s been pretty turgid squad building exercise.

Hangovers.

Binks doesn’t have a future at CB. I’m still intrigued by him at LB but I’d imagine it’ll never happen now.

Fucking Jesus. Take that keeper round the back of the stand and shoot him.

Get that fucking traffic cone out of goal.

Snowflake.

Only to be found on the off-topic board making banal points about ‘woke’? Oh, sorry, different Como.

Wright has looked pants at RW whenever he’s played there. EMC has also looked pants at RW whenever he’s played there. Now, I will caveat that by saying when both have played in that position we’ve played a more conservative style, so it’s possible that with more bodies around them it may work...
