This is why I always have a look a couple of days after the fact.

Been banging the drum all summer for Salech. Really feel an aggressive target forward would really help. Simms should be perfect for this system but seems to have been frozen out by Lampard again. Maybe he’s trying to get a rise out of him or something but seems to be off

Either way, it was a decent start imo. Think Hull have been done a disservice and think that they’ll be comfortable this season. We just didn’t click on the day up front, defensively solid and while I wish Frank would of added an additional striker, we had chances to win the game and if you...

Think looking at the stats (will rewatch later) we were definitely flat but a much better performance than the start of last season. Hoping once we get Haji wright fit, we’ll get going. Much better defensively though imo, don’t think we gave away any stupid chances away.

Going to say not likely on that one.

Squad for me. Personally think it’d be good to blood a couple youngsters on to see where they are at. Wilson KKH - Thomas - Perry/Kitching - Brau Allen Torp - Andrews Rapha - Simms - EMC

Thinking on it, if we are playing torp and Rudoni, would it be better to go for a 4-3-3 and just allow Torp and Rudoni to play as 8s? Might force us to play more centrally at times like the Sunderland league match last year?

With the high line we play wouldn't that indicate he's sat in the back line the majority of the time. No issue with that as think the issue more comes from the other CM

I do wonder what it would of been like if we lost like Sheffield United did 🤣

Like I said if all you care about is playing the two of them that’s how you could try it. I don’t actually think we need O’Hare but we might either want to invest in a box to box midfielder who can pick defences apart or if we are not signing anyone tell Rudoni to stay more central

Who Rudoni and O Hare? If all you care about is those two, you could play the 3-4-2-1. Or as a silly proposal, play Rudoni on the right wing and just allow him to drift inside with a fullback keeping the widith

Think the point tho is Rudoni often drifts wide meaning there’s no one in the central space to create space for our strikers.

Opinion on Hughes goes back to how much money we have in the pot, wouldn’t want us to spend all of it on him (assuming good as he is imo) and not be able to look to improve our RW and ST

Yeah that’s true, to be honest thought the defence did well yesterday. Doubt we’ll get Hughes, so who would you want in for a CB. Could look at the Stockport Pyre as apparently available for £3 million

Good news for us 100% 🤣

Looks like Lampard doesn’t trust Simms. On paper Simms should be great for the system if he could improve his hold up play. We at this point might want to cut our loses and try and sign strikers who fit the system but that is a huge risk. I think if I was in charge of our remaining transfers...

In all sincerity, it’s way too early to be making this post especially when we didn’t even lose and came closest to scoring. Think we need to reserve some judgement as day one is always a bit false and doesn’t define anything of your season. I think with a couple of additions and a fully fit...

Ian Evatt is still available… 🤣

I think we’ll get at least two in. Club imo will sign a CB shortly and then look for a RW forward.
