Literally the league’s top scorer… he’s scored 5. If we were completely dominating games and all he had to do was finish chances that would be one thing, but we’re not. I’m not advocating for dropping him right now but long term he can’t be our first choice.

And Godden is currently our #1 striker. qed

🎯 Good player, great servant to the club but we won’t get promoted with him as our no.1 striker.

You got me, I’ve never played football. I suppose the minute I finally set foot on a pitch I will be imbued with a wealth of tactical knowledge. And I suppose even if I go 20 years without kicking a ball in anger while the game moves on completely this will still qualify my opinion as an expert.

Not PL related but Wrexham got battered 5-0 today which brought a smile to my face.

Very good. Hope it’s not serious but if I’d have had to pick anyone who started on Tuesday he’s the one.

When’s the main event start?

Grant was being marked by Lati, then Fadz calls him across to take #12 and Saka covers Grant. Yes, it's not great defending from Saka and is his "fault" but if I'm Robins in that situation I want Fadz covering 12 and Lati on Grant. Grant's probably 5/6 inches taller and a stone or two heavier...

Everton have some competent strikers and surprise suprise they win a game. They'll be fine this season. DCL would be a 20 a season man if he could stay fit.

Wasn't the new ground planned well before the promotion? Surely they weren't banking on a promotion to pay for it.

I thought you didn't know?

He had a £2m release clause so it couldn't have been that difficult.

£2m for a 23 yo international with >100 championship appearances in a position we desperately need... can't believe it didn't get done.

What? Grant scored the goal, he was playing on the left of a front 3, not midfield. Lati was picking him up until Fadz called him over to cover, which is the real mistake IMO.

I’d like to see Godden and Simms start, and then Wright come on for Godden after 60 mins or so. If Simms and Wright can click they will run teams ragged.

We have just rebuilt half the team including our two best players… We could go ahead of Southampton on Monday. Imagine how they’re feeling.

It’s a shocking result really, 1-1 at home against potential relegation rivals after playing an hour against 10 men. The kind of game you have to win if you want to stay up.

Luton’s signings are seriously some of the most unambitious ever made. Ogbene, Brown, Chong, Krul… it’s like someone asked for a list of the most middle of the road Championship players.

Wonder how long Martin has left

Think it was this match. No fans in sight, almost like Covid era games. Weird.
