    Transfer Rumour Jack Clarke

    COH is in the top three midfielders in the whole division for both tackles made and fouls against. He does so much for the team if you drop him you’ve almost got to replace him with a DM. He’s unique really as a defensive attacking midfielder. If/when he adds goals and assists consistently he...

    Transfer Rumour Jack Clarke

    Fear not, he’ll be given at least a game and a half to prove himself should he sign.

    Ryan Giles

    I may be wrong but without checking the line ups for the games Sam taking the shirt from Giles coincided with us going defensive (and unbeaten). I presume his apparent his reluctance to bomb on or even cross the half way line is management instructions rather than choice. He was great going...

    Ryan Giles

    At the present time McCallum is very strong defensively and decent going forwards (when given licence to do so). Giles is poor defensively and decent going forwards. McCallum currently the better LWB of the two.

    Robings - how long left?

    Quite. And do the (potentially - we’re still only 19 games in!!!) iffy signings all fall on MR? Did he go out and get Hillsner for example or is that on the recruitment team? And if the latter, is Badlan not the board’s appointment?

    If we are lucky when we win/draw then by definition we are unlucky when we lose. Pointless terminology. We didn’t go eight unbeaten due to “luck” we did so because we set up defensively and dug in. For me we should have done the same today but I don’t begrudge MR going more attacking. Hopefully...

    Robings - how long left?

    Not for me. Seen clips... he’s all over the place.

    Substitutions/changes

    We were crap second half but very good in the first 45. Why would he have changed at half time? Subs made us worse.

    Well that was grim 🤣 glad for the cushion. Too many players didn’t perform tonight. Would expect us to go back to ultra defensive v Millwall.

    Every fucking attack or chance they’ve had has been gifted by stupid play. They haven’t constructed one attack themselves. Fucking joke.

    Based on that 45 these are a poor team of cloggers and we have been well on top. Play like that second half we surely get a result here.

    Pulis

    Sacked by Wednesday already. https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2020/december/club-statement---tony-pulis/ The guy is a dinosaur but he’s hardly had a chance. Presumably it wasn’t just the performances the board were unhappy with.

    Sky Sports red button

    I thought the midweek games were only red button on champions league weeks.

    January transfer window

    JCH would be a great addition. Probably pick him up for a snip at £3m - £4m.

    Third most fouled player in the division according to this site. https://www.whoscored.com/Regions/252/Tournaments/7/Seasons/8304/Stages/18825/PlayerStatistics/England-Championship-2020-2021

    Before today he had made the most tackles of any midfielder in the league. Perhaps we (fans) need to start looking at him as playing a different role than the typical AM.

    Dabo said in his interview earlier in the week that he expects us to stay up and then aim for the premier league next season. Clearly the squad have been briefed by Joy and the owners will be investing massively with a view to promotion to the top flight in 2022 👌🏻😊

    Disagree. I think behind a fully fit Godden COH and Allen are fine, particularly in the box formation. It would be great if COH adds a clinical goal scoring side to his game and maybe he will. But don’t underestimate the other work he does. His chasing down/tackling and sheer effort is rare in...

    Match Thread Stoke City

    I’m a bit surprised he came on. Thought his complete lack of any impact in his last few appearances coupled with the culpability for the goal in the last game may have done for him with MR.

    Good point well earned, if quite fortunate. Bit of a shit watch second half as we looked promising going forward in the first. We got away with a few and gave some sloppy chances away pissing around with it at the back. Sheaf, Allen, Hamer and COH all played well. MCallum the worst of the...
