I think you’re right, we should go into a 46 game season with 11 top players and then the rest can be kids. We only need 11 players to be at the level.
Why do you care so much about spend? I’m sure Doug and the recruitment team know what areas need strengthening and the budget they have to do it with… They won’t be throwing money at players for the sake of it. There will be a CB and CM targets. Relax
I don’t understand the desperate need for a RB, it’s nowhere near a priority, Milan is one of the best in the division, and we have Lati or even Eccles as adequate cover. Even Sakamoto has played there.
Had to have a nose on their forum, and it seems like their win against Norwich has lulled them into a false sense of security. Although, it shows their mentality that they’re still hyped to have beaten a L1 team mid week. They think their team is a lot better than it is. The Championship is one...
We’re just incredibly weak in midfield depth. It has to be accepted, Allen shouldn’t be starting. Torp with high expectations simply hasn’t performed, and Eccles is “ok” with Sheaf in there, but again won’t impose himself on a match. If we’re to be as good as people expect us to be this season...
No good having amazing front line options if you can’t get the ball to them in the first place. Stoke completely controlled the midfield today with Laurent and Burger.
I thought the last we heard from Robins is that he hopes to have everyone training and ready for Stoke? So I’m assuming that if Sheaf trains fully.. he starts.
Agree somewhat, I think if we’re serious about going up this season, and this is the season to push, then we don’t sell Sheaf. Add one more midfielder to the fold to play with him and Rudoni and we are one hell of a force in this league.

only caveat being is if Sheaf trains ok this week...
Huh? Why would Palmer have upset me? He’s been been deployed either as a 10 or on one of the wings? Not as a 6 or and 8. Like saying has Bidwell upset me, because I’ve not included him as a winger or something.
