They had us 7th before the start of the season. It’s just a reflection of our poor start.

You’re right, but you’re not taking into account how much of a benefit that “spotlight” is. It’s much easier and cheaper to scout, negotiate with and sign domestic players. Also, if Kitching was a serie B player he would likely not qualify automatically for a visa and we have a limited number...

probably because you’ve posted a picture

Of course he had to head it? Look at the picture you’ve posted, there’s more wrong than just Kitching. In fact, given there wasn’t much pace on the ball to generate power with it was a very difficult one to deal with. I mentioned before, why are the centre mids on top of each other and...

He would’ve had to have been a complete disaster not to trigger the clause. He made 30 appearances that season, EMC will almost certainly reach that unless he gets a significant injury. If the clause was something like 20/25 apps it will get triggered before you can really make a judgement anyway.

Was that even possible though? He didn’t sign a new contract. I think realistically the choice was take the 15m or get nothing the following summer.

It was an obligation to buy, so it’s no different really. Yes, we’ve probably overpaid. But that’s a separate issue from signing the wrong player in the first place. And EMC was always going to be more expensive given his output.

Over the last two seasons he’s been statistically significantly worse than our other options.

You’re just cherry picking lmao So signing Sheaf based on performances in L1/2 was a good thing, but for everyone else it’s a bad thing? Jesus Christ have a day off.

His career stats in Sweden and the German 2nd division? Wright’s not playing badly lmao. And Simms is barely playing.

“First full year” doing some heavy lifting, hardly fair when Vik had half a season beforehand.

Yeah get that, they could be a little more balanced though. Clive and Oggy basically run defence for Robins and co when we lose.

I don’t think it’s as black and white as passing vs hoofball. Agree with shmmeee that you have to be looking to play short the majority of the time if you want to be successful. I think our problem is the length of that sequence- rather than making just 1 or 2 passes between defenders and then...

How many articles does Clive write? Confused.

He didn’t though, BTA played wider and we looked better for it.

Playing narrow can’t be an instruction. Sakamoto hasn’t done it. Anyone who watches for more than 5 mins can see it hurts us.

Never been more confident we’ll lose a game tbh, not sure it matters.

Well generally I hate it when fans try to play amateur psychologist on the players. But in this case, if your first thought about an upcoming game is losing there previously it’s hardly a good sign is it.

I just find it odd that a player’s response to hearing you were going to the game was to mention how often we lose there.

fucking hell ben, just what every fan wants to hear from a player "You're going to the match Saturday? Haha, we always lose there and will do again you absolute mug."
