....we have a settled team. A good sign

...and if Wright is out, then Palmer comes in but the formation is tweaked from 4-3-3 to 4-4-2

The team to be that most favoured above - Collins, the best back 4, Callum, Josh & Ben with Wright, Simms and Saka. Could possibly swap Lati for Eccles. I see no reason for us to not get at least a point. We are playing well, have a solid defence and good options on the bench Because it is so...

....err Sakamoto

See the answer above. Wright is not a winger but is very effective as a left sided versatile attacker. Palmer could do that as a back up. I find the obsession with wingers depressing. They are few and far between, a bit of mirage, and too easily seen as a 'golden ticket'. That was why we...

..neither is Wright, but he is now

Why on earth do we need a winger or at least one who expects to play 1st team? Wright on left (back up Palmer), Saka on right (back up Palmer). We desperately need a number 8. After that it is a big striker as back up to Simms, absolutely not a fox in the box Godden/Taveres type. The 4-3-3...

IF you wipe out the outliers - say the top 10 down to Clough - what is the average job length - a year? Maybe it says something about (1) football finance - many clubs are close to broke so can't buy success. You can see in the long servers Wrexham, Newcastle and Stockport plus Klopp and Pepe...

Three draws two wins, but bet the actual sequence is not what you would expect. The only game we should probably assume we will lose from now on in is Southampton away. Everything else we should reckon we can get something from.

All I know is that it won't be what you think. Draw against Swansea at home, beat Boro away (easily) anyone?

Let's hear it for that lovely little first-time flick that took out two Swansea defenders at a stroke and cleared the path for Wright to surge forward and score. He can do it, but seems not to be able to with sufficient regularity. And I'm a fan

Hamer replacement Loan striker to back up Simms and replace Godden in the pecking order. See Big Vik three seasons ago That's it

If he is 27, does that mean the chance of a Prem club poaching him is much less?

....and I should say, that despite a poor performance today against Boro, there are still question marks over Collins. I thought Ruddy was different class when Brum were here. Commanded the area

All the players with the exception of Ayari have performed to a greater or lesser extent and we no longer play wing backs that Da Silva is best suited to. In particular the defence based on an aging McFadz and loans is now much better. But it is factual to say that our two best players have...

This game is going to indicate one way or another how reliant we have become on Kitching. On reflection cannot see a clean sheet without him, so it is down to Wright, Saka and O'Hare to get us an equalizer - or Bobby Thomas deciding to go rogue and show Ellis Simms how it's done

How did Walsh do for them?

...also love to know afterwards how Liam Walsh plays. Still love him from League 1 days

not going incidentally - 30th wedding anniversary. Just got to sit there with the Live Score app on.

No, I am thinking planned or assumed even if we were say 1-0 or 2-0 up.
