Is everything okay at home?

Make sure you're saving the Palmer ones too. Maybe less likely, but you never know if we might need them... ...

First watched him in the friendly with Rangers and thought he looked great and extremely technically proficient. Didn't think he'd turn into the player that he was by the playoff final. Good luck to him, recruitment team have their hands full bringing someone else in.

How come? He's never been bothered about ball retention, that's what makes him interesting as a centre mid. He wants to 'try' stuff. That's why sometimes it's shite and sometimes it's great haha.

I think Grimes is a great player and would be a good signing, but also, I'm inclined to very much agree. I imagine the recruitment team have planned for this though.

Would prefer it if we signed an actual footballer... He hasn't got the skills required to do anything more than defensive midfield. Grimes would be good in a possession based team, not particularly exciting and a lower ceiling due to his age and also doesn't score many goals.

Some of the (more sensible) suggestions seem a tad defensive minded to me. The replacement needs to be a playmaker, someone who will score and provide assists more so imo.

Do any of these score many goals?

I was predicting a pessimistic 12th-8th place. After Saturday now, I think we have the ability to be top 6 if things click. I think we need good quality central midfield cover / the ability to rotate there whether Hamer goes or stays.

I'm disappointed we lost but happy enough with most of what I saw.

This. A creative passer who isn't interested in possession stats but can also tackle and run and shoot and do set pieces.

It's okay mate, I had Wright down, but I'm going to go back and edit it so no one knows.

I've seen him do that thing now where he feints to cross with his left and then continues his run to the byline instead. Hope he has other tricks!

Only if you're honest about how many competitive minutes he's played for us and how long it can sometimes take to see the best out of player 😉

Today, even I was slightly concerned about Eccles at RWB. After he'd settled down (I assume a bit nervous) he was decent. I still thing he is better as a defensive midfielder but I think the coaching staff must be doing stuff right.

One thing from him I saw today (although granted his first half was forgettable) was his strength. Was able to hold off two Leicester defenders simultaneously and then play a pass.

I always think back to Dujon Sterling (granted a different league). Didn't even look like a professional footballer at first. Ended up having a really good 3 quarters of the season.

Not bothered about us though? That must have been a pretty sobering experience for you lot. Welcome to the Championship, where you actually belong :)

Annoying that
