Bakayoko? Albeit he isn’t a target man. Although nor was JCH, he was just shit.

Sad to see him go from a sentimental perspective, but from a practical and football one it makes sense. He’s far down the pecking order, he’s not been good enough this year and he’s one of the higher earners. Absolutely wish him the best of luck and I really hope to see him back as a coach. One...

I’ve never been a fan of JCH and I don’t think he’ll be a loss. However, my slight worry is the lack of a physical striker if he does go. I wouldn’t call him a traditional target man as he doesn’t hold it up enough, but he does/did at least give us a different option from the bench. Granted...

Doyle hasn’t been starting games and I doubt Meyler has been signed to sit on the bench.

Good pedigree, so in theory would be a good addition. However if he was frozen out at Reading, how match fit will he be? And who’s place will he take? I assume Kelly’s?

Good news. I hadn’t heard of him before he joined he, and since he’s been with us he’s been anti climatic in relation to the hype when he signed. Every time I saw him he looked a weak link; off the pace and technically very poor. First game he looked good, but even JCH looks good one game a...

Assuming MR continues with his favoured 4-3-2-1 formation: Burge Sterling Willis Hyam Mason Bayliss Kelly Thomas Bright KE Bakayoko/Hiwula I haven’t completely given up on Chaplin, but he offers very very little during the game, especially when isolated up front. At least one of...

I wish, but we all know it’ll be JCH for Hiwula.

Chaplin offering nothing other than a poor first touch. Westbrooke looks very composed and more involved than others. Really impressed. Bright looks skillful as always, but a bit greedy on a few occasions. Idiots around me moaning about Kelly. Maybe he should lump it forward everytime to...

Can you pay on card when paying on the gate?

Ha! He can fend for himself if we suddenly get a 18k walk up!

Today is the day we are rewarded for our much improved football and the goals come. No reason why I believe it all clicks today other than optimism. 2-0, Hiwula, Thomas.

One of my mates is coming to watch some real football today (he’s a Man U “fan”). Can you pay on the gate?

As much as I don’t rate his overall game, Chaplin has scored in the last few games. I also believe Hiwula will find his shooting boots. Don’t get me wrong, I’d like us to sign another striker in a ideal world, but as we literally don’t have a left winger that should be the priority.

I also like Grimmer and he offers an outlet offensively, but Sterling is the better player and at this point in time when we really really need to hit some form, we have to play our strongest team. Bayliss will be a big loss if injured. I’d play Westbrooke if so, as they seem fairly similar and...

I’d prefer us to to sign a winger than a striker, as we have more strikers than wingers in the squad; as it stands we still don’t have a natural left winger.

What’s the background to Bremang? My knowledge of the U23’s is based solely on the threads on this forum, but he always seems to score. How far is he from being close to the first team squad?

We are playing good football, but being cynical we should have been doing that from game one. We have good technical players, yet we’re only just starting to use them. I’m also concerned that Thomas, Sterling, Bright, potentially Bayliss, who are key to that style of football and technically...

Incredibly frustrating result. MR’s obsession with CC is clouding his judgement. The last two games he has set us up to win and it’s resulted in good football, then today as soon as we take advantage of that he immediately changes tactics. By no means do I want him gone, but surely based on...

Waste of Hiwula, and concerning as CC’s movement is poor and Bright positional sense didn’t seem the best last game, albeit he was on the wing. Still think we’ll win.
