    Wilson starting on the opening day

    I think most people realize we have three keepers on ours books who are all on reasonable wages. Until one leaves the club you cant bring another in even on loan the budget won't allow it. It also means you are not only paying Dovin whilst out injured. You would be paying either Collins or...

    Wilson starting on the opening day

    Perhaps I am picking up on the general mood of the board rather than you specifically. But as it stands and at the moment Lampard appears to be sticking by Wilson and Collins. So until that changes, yes I would back either if they started. Also moving either on isn't as easy as it might...

    Wilson starting on the opening day

    I disagree about Wilson I thought he came back well. But you seem to be criticising Frank Lampard rather than me, because I don't actually make any decisions about the squad or team selection. But if we started with Wilson yes I would back him. Less likely, but if we started with Collins yes...

    What is happening at centre half?

    Yes, I don't think he offers any upgrade at all. With what we have I would have him competing for 5th or 4th choice.

    Wilson starting on the opening day

    It's a Frank Lampard decision. Both are still here. Let's see what happens. I also think Wilson has been harshly criticised in the past and lots of fans went overboard on bigging Collins up. We have also seen over the top criticism of the goalkeeping coach and Oggy as a goalkeeping coach...

    Wilson starting on the opening day

    At this stage of the pre season both are still here. That is the landscape the club have contract wise. So unless that changes - you can want as much as you like.

    Wilson starting on the opening day

    No Wilson is no2 and Collins is No3 it's just that the No1 Dovin is injured. You can't knee jerk and sign someone Everytime your first choice player in a team gets injured. If and when Wilson or Collins gets moved on then that is different.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    And if you want a quality loan say from the Premier League, you will have to wait a few weeks yet, until they decide on their own squads and who they require. Players who are available now probably wouldn't be interested in a 6 month contract.

    Even if they do Collins has to agree to go.

    Also Torp and Rudoni are both capable of coming deeper to collect the ball if necessary.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    That's an interesting one, as Simms had a decent return in his first season after a slow start. I also don't think we have seen the best of BTA yet, as he was playing with an injury problem last year. I have an open mind on them still, without being fully convinced on either. Happy to leave...

    That's the sort of competition we need though. In key positions you need players who are very comparable in quality, rather than a distinct first and lesser second choice. Elite athletes relish competition and being pushed, rather than having an easy ride.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Getting Torp through a full pre season could be the key. When he first arrived he was below the fitness levels for the Championship. Last year being injured during pre season meant he was still struggling and was playing catch up. Towards the end of the season he looked there or there...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    It doesn't matter who you have or who you sign, anyone can get injured. When Coventry signed Bryan King I don't think he had missed a game through injury in about 5 seasons. Not long after joining Coventry he dislocated his knee and his career was as good as over

    Can't wait for the club shop to release the Ibiza Clubbing gear. I hope it leapfrogs the first team shirt for a release date 😂

    A number of things to consider on a development loan when people come knocking for one of your players. 1. Adopting to a new environment and squad. 2. Will they get opportunities to play. 3. The managers skill set and temperament. 4. The style of play they adopt. 5. The skill set of the...
