    Not sure Godden has touched the ball. He isn’t suited to playing on his own, even with two advanced midfielders behind him. Not a Godden hater, but he needs two up front or we need more natural 10’s behind him.

    I agree and I’ve made the same point, but it definitely isn’t 3 up front, it’s Godden with Shipley and Westbrooke playing as 10’s.

    Remember when everyone was going mental that the mighty Lincoln had beaten us to the signature of Tyler Walker? I don’t want to curse it, but he’s looked poor so far.

    Lincoln are trying to play out from the back, but their centre backs are absolutely not footballers and we are doing a good job of exploiting and pressuring that.

    I agree, I also think his crossing is poor; too floaty.

    Just realised their striker - Walker - is the one who rejected us in the summer (if I remember the events correctly?). Good, five minutes in and he looks shit. Didn’t want him anyway, next.

    Confident start from McCallum; the Liverpool rumours have obviously gone to his head. It’s clearly all a tactical ploy from MR!

    I don’t like one up front, nobody does. But let’s add context it isn’t a completely isolated 1, he has up attacking midfielders behind him. As per my earlier post, they aren’t natural 10’s, but there role is to be attacking today. However, as I type we punt a stupid long ball to Godden....

    Just seen the line up; not as bad as is made out. Yes Godden is up front on his own, but he has two attacking midfielders behind him, it’s absolutely not 4-3-3 which would be a disaster. It’s back to 3-4-2-1. I’d prefer Biamou and Godden up front (or any two up top) but it could be worse...

    Quiet on here again, I suppose there’s nothing to moan about yet. I’m not even too fussed about the individuals (although obviously I’d like the team selected in my previous post), but please no 4-3-3 today. Back to 3 at the back and 2 up front would be ideal.

    Really important game to start to regain momentum in the league and nip any negativity in the bud. He HAS to go for an attacking league and subsequently allow them to play football. I’d go: Marosi Rose McFadzean Hyam Dabo Kelly Walsh Mason Allen Biamou Bakayoko Wilson McCallum Westbrooke...

    I cannot wait to start taking my daughter to events like this. She’s only recently turned three months and she shows no signs of fitting into the home kit I bought her before she was born, so I’ve got a while yet....

    Listen To Me Just Hear Me Out

    I understand why the question is being asked; I’m still incredibly frustrated with Saturdays result and that has happened too many times this season. However, it absolutely isn’t the time for MR to go. My pre match posts for the last two and a bit seasons have pretty much revolved around the...

    Transfer Rumour McCallum.....

    I think I’m missing something with McCallum. There’s no doubt he has potential and his improvement from last season is significant and impressive, but is he really that special to be linked with a Premier league move after half a season of regular first team games? That isn’t a criticism of...

    General Election 2019 thread

    Anyone watching the channel 4 ‘alternative’ coverage? I think it’s supposed to be a light hearted parody, but not sure it’s hitting the right notes. Some of the skits have been awful. Re the result (assuming exit polls are correct), I think a toxic combination of Brexit and Corbyn is to blame.

    I like Mason, always have, and I think he’s a better option than McCallum overall. Saying that, I actually thought McCallum was the only one to come out with any credit in the first half and looks increasingly assured on the ball. I don’t agree with Bakayoko. I’m a big Biamou fan, but Bakayoko...

    Decent result in the end, albeit I can’t stop replying the Allen chance at the end and the difference that would have made. Although objectively a draw is fair, we looked completely outclassed first half and I was genuinely worried we were going to be on the end of a thumping, but second half we...

    We’re looking a lot better. However I’d like to see Allen play 10, it isn’t suited to Westbrooke and he isn’t on it today as it is. Hoping the scuffle and our better performance has riled us up. They look vulnerable at the back.
