I'd really like Matt Clarke from Brighton (Been on loan at West Brom and two years before at Derby). Probably West Brom's most consistent player at the back. Left footed and has played on the left hand side of a back three before. In the last year of his contract, so wouldn't be a huge fee...

Not sure how you can say he isn't tactically astute, we play a very good system and create opportunities against almost every team we play. We also look defensively solid in the main and have great structure, it's rare we get carved open for goals. Very often when we concede it is individual...

I think there's a much easier solution, just stop the clock and do away with injury time. Whenever there is a major stoppage, injury, penalty, attacking free kick etc just have the referee stop the clock. Then book people properly for time wasting, yes it's a soft yellow card but it's ruining...

There needs to be a bold and complete overhaul by the FA, starting with the dissent and abuse that referees are willing to endure. Nobody wants to see a game finish without 11 a side, but at every level of football they need to be booking players and sending then off for the shouting and...

How has Ostigards career gone backwards? Spent half the year playing the same level, for a team who were expected to be better than us. Now is playing in Serie A and was in the Serie A Team of the week (WhoScored) last week. Liam Walsh and Matty James are very valid examples though.

Wing backs aren't getting high enough up the pitch, so we are massively isolated up front. We need some legs either in place of Vik or Maatsen

Starting to look like that 120 minutes has left us jaded

Sheffield United, Portsmouth, Crewe, Manchester United, Cardiff, Norwich and Huddersfield and Hull. I hate Leicester the most, but thats not irrational. I have a long list of legitimate reasons to hate that club. Every time I hear someone roll out the league winning fairy story bollocks, I...

I don't know if anybody else checked but Hamer and Allen also feature in the top for individual areas. Hamer for progressive passes and Allen for retention. Shows we have some real strength there and a very complete midfield

Da Costa hasn't been great but nowhere near as bad as some making out. Dabo is far superior however, Push him out wide and bring another cb on. Gyokeres is like a low budget kane atm, everything is goal first, which i like. Waghorn makes intelligent little runs, think he will get stronger...

Are you comparing the goal scoring record of an attacking midfielder and a right back? Da Costa has flashed hot and cold, he was garbage on Saturday and looked lost. Dabo was having to tell him where to go and he wasn't pushing high enough up the pitch. But I do think there is a player in...

The most shocking part of this is that a grown woman decided that she wanted to buy a Nottingham Forest top, in the style of a baseball shirt. Games gone.

It was out to Maatsen who then cut in and shot wide. At the time I turned to my friend and said how good it was, the awareness and accuracy on it was remarkable.

Its because of the constant manager turnover I think, it happens at lots of the 'Traditional?' Premiership clubs. The club wants to retain them because they perceive value, but the constant need for immediate success and turnover in management means they never get a look in at their parent club.

It exists but generally behind paywalls. A chunk of Brentfords success in replacing players is that their owner is/was a professional gambler and pioneered expected goals and advanced statistics. They have a European league table that ranks clubs, so they can highlight teams overperforming...

Biamou is more important than his goals and to judge him solely on them is naive. His pressing from the front is incredible, he has such a high work rate and leading the press more aggressively has tied in with our upturn in form. He also gives us an outlet when we need to play long, which I...

The science/stats geek is going to come out in me here, so please don't think this is criticism I'm just genuinely interested. I think that the whole moneyball and analytics of sport is incredible, but you have to identify the correct statistic to analyse and look at and that is the most...

This referee has made some poor decisions today, that was one of the worst there.

Biamou looks very good today. Also he is playing well.

"THAT WAS A FREE HEADER FOR HOGAN. I SAY FREE HEADER, HE HAD A MAN ON HIM" Clive are you OK?
