No thanks. We need an experienced enforcer, not another youngster

id also take that with a pinch of salt. Some fans don’t understand football well and make negative comments on opposing teams from a tribalistic viewpoint at times.

This is a bed wetting comment but the mentality of us first half. Like we were a bit scared. Of what? The occasion? The atmosphere? Surely not.

Yeah. I’d take. 50 year old Dennis wise!

AWAY GAMES

We would have done if Forest weren’t being twats

Need a young Dennis Wise

100% this. Even if we won yesterday I’d still hate this fixture. 2/3 days after the first league game is shit

Agreed but he should have done better for their goal albeit the defending was poor. It was a near post finish. Generally though, he was fine.

The stat I mentioned was regarding opening day AWAY games. I wasn’t clear.

Sorry mate, away game I meant

Win today, we play Friday so win then and we’ll be top!

I’m happy with the squad but if we need to sell to bring one or two more in then one of the keepers and Palmer for me.

My bugbear with Palmer is the amount of times he gives the ball away and slowing down fast counter plays. Sometimes he keeps it moving quick but most often slows it down wanting to look up and take 2/3 extra touches. we are at our best when we counter fast (well, pre new total football...

Let’s see how we are after 10 league games. Always a good starting indicator of how we’ll do. As good as we look, we are underestimating championship teams. We know how competitive it is.
