Wouldn’t be the end of the world, would just rather see us make positive choices and take risks which is what Sakamoto vs Kelly is.

Excited to see Hadji in from the start though. He could really go on a tear in this league if his performances off the bench translate. Simms might benefit from coming off the bench too.

I understand the role of a defensive midfielder, but playing 3 of them in the same midfield is a recipe for boring football.

Sakamoto has obviously been signed with his ability to play in attacking midfield in mind so he’s the obvious choice. We’ll be much more creative with him rather than Kelly.

I’m sorry but a midfield of Sheaf, Kelly and Eccles would be about as exciting as watching paint dry

fucking crying myself to sleep tonight, beaten to promotion by a shite little team and now our best player has gone to an equally shite team and is scoring bangers yet will probably be playing against us next season. Hamer scoring one like that at the CBS would kill me off

If Howley goes I hope it’s somewhere he’s absolutely nailed on to start. I like him, with some minutes under his belt he could be a serious player.

Brighton got cashin earlier this week didn't they? £115m to be exact

"earning" songs is bollocks, the more the better. It's way more fun to belt out different chants than sit there repeating yourself for 90 mins, and it's great to have one ready to go for when players do things on the pitch. Plus it must have a big impact on every player to hear their name being...

L2 promotion, L1 consolidation, L1 promotion, Champ consolidation, Champ promotion push. And we've been through some distinct tactical shifts too, from the 4 back used in L2/1 transitioning to the 3/5 back we adopted for the promotion season and in the championship.

Surely he was just being nice, Tavares could barely get a look in when he was fit and is coming off the back of a serious injury.

Saying Eccles doesn't have the technical abilities of Gus is definitely comparable to that :rolleyes: Perhaps we should rename this thread the Josh Eccles wank-a-thon

So we’ll play with 12 then?

I assume Saturday's guest of honour is being announced any day now

jesus the swansea one is an eyesore

Specials inspired, to the tune of a message to you rudy Stop your messing around Better think of promotion Time to score a goal now Creating chances for Cov Haaadji A message, to you, Hadji

With hopefully 5-10m to throw around from the Hamer sale we can surely get something.

I think people have forgotten this is the "transfer targets" thread... which is why I posted in it this afternoon saying we needed a CM. Since then it's devolved into arguing over Josh Eccles' squad status.

Didn't quite think that saying Eccles was anything less than a nailed on starter would be so controversial. I get there's lots of support for him, local lad and a great attitude. But, we've got to be ruthless. Settling for him as our first choice CM alongside Sheaf will not be enough to compete...

Exactly! I've never said that Eccles is a bad player, just that we need to replace Hamer and that will naturally lead to Eccles dropping back to being a bench/squad player for the most part. Apparently that's sacrilege round here...
