Also Dovin isn’t playing outfield, he’ll return quicker, more like December/Jan, so could still play a major part in the season. His confidence and mental side might take a while but physically it’s nothing like the return to playing that an outfield player would go through.

It’s nonsense to think that a club that makes a loss outside of player sales will spend yet more money on a goalkeeper. The loan argument perhaps, but taking young keepers on loan also seems a major risk. Removing all bias, statistically he’s fine too isn’t he. 47% clean sheet record, save...

Fine by me. We’re not in a position to spend again on a keeper. Bigger concern is a Wilson injury, so ideally we move Collins on and a new replacement brought in, at £0 cost.

They’re going to love him and he’ll score 20 goals no worries

He is very capable, and it’s credit to him that he’s established himself as such being from the academy, it’s very rare and clearly incredibly difficult to do. But we aren’t getting £5m for him, and notwithstanding improvement on his part we aren’t going up with Eccles as a regular starter.

In the last 3 years, at that age in central midfield (loosely) there's only Hamer, Glen Kamara, Lewis O'Brien and Gabriel Sara that have left for £5m or more. There's some very good players signed for less than that as well. I might be wrong, but just don't see that you could get £5m for...

Plenty of reasoning that this is why Sheff Utd are struggling to get a big fee for Hamer

they’re a similar level but strikers worth a premium because there aren’t many of them

Can't see anyone offering £5m for Eccles, he's 25 so likely little resale value in 2-3 years. He's an average championship player, so you're looking at bottom half sides looking to consolidate, seems expensive to me. BTA is a proven champ striker, can make a big difference to teams in need...

I know we’re not keen on loans but I’d be trying to get that Donley from Spurs next season. Has been great for Leyton Orient and would provide some creativity through the centre that we sometimes miss.

They definitely set up to keep it right away and given they had a lead did the same again. However, you can’t seat that deep and think you’ll get away with it. If Wright scores that header or a ball bounces a different way from a cross then we’re through.

I just got one, the odd ticket seems to come up every now and again

Christ, what’s the ref thinking there. It’s such a bad dive

Agree with this. Torp and EMC are good players but I would have had both on the bench tonight. CB cover is a worry. I would probably pick Lati, but I don't really know why.

Simms had a great cameo. Properly got amongst their CBs. I’d start him and move Wright to the left.

Agree with those saying Dasilva played well. Some great balls down the line for EMC, and just very reliable on the ball.

Grimes was genuinely superb first 20. After that we fell apart. They played through us far too easily, and we got punished. Big players returning, lots to still play for, play offs still on!

I get it with other ex players, but for any fan under 30, Gus and Vik are the best players they’ve seen at the club. Is it surprising that they’re lauded like they are. Another take could be that he was signed for 1.5m, contributed absolutely loads and left for nearly 10x what we paid for him...

Always felt like with Vik we’d have stood a good chance of staying up. 8 new starters needed elsewhere but there’s the 15 goal man, and the guy who’s going to give every PL defence a hard game. Love the current team but there’s no guarantees any of them make the grade a level up.

Don’t mind what Ipswich have done but was all a bit unimaginative, signing the best championship players. They look well set now and will cash in on Delap and make a nice profit. Not sure if there’s opportunity to be a bit smarter, sign PL experience and some European wildcards. Thought Kieran...
