We anticipate danger awfully. The run in behind by Wells for his one-on-on chance was far too easy. It was similar to how we conceded against Luton for their second earlier this season. We're very flat as a backline though, whether we play a 3 or a 4. So if we come up against a quick No.9...

They're still a difficult team to break down, which is where we often struggle. 11 clean sheets so far this season. They're light in midfield with Travis and Tronstad out but I don't particularly back ours to capitalise on that. Suspect it'll be a draw. Which wouldn't be a bad result.

That's probably because there's been more bad aspects than good this season. Hard to celebrate one good thing when he makes several poor decisions per game. He's a talented player, but on the whole he's been pretty disappointing so far in 24/25.

MVE's performances this season remind me a lot of Christie's final season at the club.

I think it entirely depends on how the summer window pans out really and who moves on / who is brought in. His development will hinge on him getting a good run of games rather than making brief cameos here or there. Agree re. BTA's decision making. Relying on him coming up against 'less...

Not sure we'd be able to generate a fee for him. But I wouldn't be all that surprised if someone took over his existing contract, like with did with Bidwell when he was initially brought in. Wing backs are a hard position to fill, especially at this level. There's a tonne of crap out there...

We might not have a choice to be honest assuming budget is still going to be an issue this summer. It'd be cheaper than bringing in a replacement in.

Bassette is far too raw to be starting consistently in the Championship week in week out. He's fine off the bench to try and make a nuisance of himself late on in games but he's too erratic to warrant a holding spot. In an ideal world I'd actually like to see Bassette loaned out next season. I...

I mean they did lose Summerville and Rutter in the summer. Roughly around 30 goals and 25 assists between them last season.

Their window this summer just gone was also atrocious. They didn't strengthen at all.

If it looks like we're trying to get rid the club has less of a leg to stand on to drive a hard bargain.

1. Think you've missed the point with this. It's not about having experience at LB as a standalone per say. It's about having experience integrated throughout the squad. Bidwell has around 500 apps in the Championship give or take. Not one player even comes close to that. Bidwell may not be a...

I suspect the club, or BTA's agent leaked that. Good way of sparking interest from multiple parties.

Assuming the rumour was credible I don't really mind Lati not going this window, as much as I'm not really a fan. As I'd be a bit concerned who we'd replace him with. Not a lot of good permanent options available for a realistic fee and bringing in a loan as a stopgap would've been very...

Why is it crazy? 99% of the fanbase have been crying out for some experience yet you want to get rid of our most experienced player. Makes sense. He'll be on reduced terms and more than likely will be second fiddle to whoever we bring in at LB in the near future, so I don't really see what the...

I don't get the hysteria around it to be honest. It's a good decision and the deal definitely works for both parties.

2.5 year deal seems a touch long but at a guess I'd suspect he took a lesser wage for a longer deal.

Whether he's a natural leader or not in the traditional sense he's a senior player with a huge amount of experience at this level. FL and the coaches will probably look to him to set an example and guide the younger players in training and in matches.

Need to be careful about doing too much again in the summer. There's quite a lot of potential exits which will need replacing if they leave. Adding more to our already potentially overloaded plate isn't the best strategy.

It's a completely baseless theory. But I often find players like Palmer, Dasilva, Panzo etc will often bag themselves decent moves because of their start in football and the success they had at youth level. Even if they're not really at all deserving. It's probably because they end up...
