    Whole squad. Who stays, who goes?

    'Generally we lack Pace and Physique' reminded me of my friend's comment that all I lacked was 'looks and ability'. If you haven't got pace and phsique (bearing in mind that to be a professional footballer in the first place you must have a degree of skill!) then thare is not much left.

    Whole squad. Who stays, who goes?

    This about right, altho I would keep Hyam rather than Rose as squad We do need to free up some cash for two big solid central defenders (assuming the third is a loan), so my preferred sale would be O'Hare, much as I love him. Bidwell remains only as 'squad'. In fact withe exception of RWB, we...

    Liam Hendhaw's analysis of central defenders. Basically neither or Hyam or MacF dominate in the air, but at least Hyam is good going forward. Clark-Salter is less good at going forward than Hyam and marginally better in the air (he is the spot above the line but two left of Hyam iirc). I think...

    Match Thread Bournemouth (H) Easter Monday

    I thought Waghoen suprisingly effective - more movement than Viktor. But I agree about Kelly. It was clear we needed sonme trickery to break down their defence so it had to be Tavares or even Jones.

    Ratings vs Bournemouth

    As usual watching a different game to everyone else. Maatsen and Kane seemed to me the only ones on top of their game. Joint MOTM Plus Hamer in the first half Several times, Bournemouth defenders showed O'Hare up for lack of pace - which might reduce his value. On today's showing Bidwell...

    Interesting take on the Championship promotion race

    Our problem mainly lies with some of the players most beloved by fans - the central defence. We score goals including some very good ones, but concede way too many. Everybody wittering on about more goals from midfield and acquiring attacking midfielders misses the fact that we do score lots of...

    'Can see 7/8 going out on loan at least to recoup some of salaries to enable spend on new players' - ha ha ha this is fantasy. There is limited market for our cast offs. As we have seen year in year out. An when they do go out, they rarely seem to play. Name the last time we gained from having...

    Gyokeres improvement over 18 months is astonishing. He underwhelmed at Swansea in the first part of last season, which in retrospect we can see was probably not his fault. When he first arrived initially nobody was particularly impressed and he was on the subs bench quite a bit. Then we went...

    Beg to differ. The defence is the problem. Far too many silly goals. Both against Blackburn should have been cut out, particularly Dack's.Hyam is too slow, McFadz is now too old and too slow. Rose is League 1 standard. At this level speed is everything. If we are spending any money, two good...

    I'd love to explore Dominican Republic or Haiti - but not just to travel all that way to treat it like the Costa del Sol. What's the point? Boring waste of time.

    In which case we should not be disappointed by our position nor have excessive expectations of their worth in the market. I suspect my three would at least make the bench at Bournemouth and Fulham. O'Hare's stats are just too good to ignore.
