Brau, Bidwell and JDS is not enough? Get Chilwell! 😆

Absolutely. It is clear that FL doesn’t want to pick Simms or Bassette, so we really only have Haji and BTA as our senior strike force. We are only an injury or two away from being in real trouble up front.

I think that, all being well, we will see him on the bench after the international break. In the meantime BTA will play on the right. If nothing else, BTA drags defenders out of position with his pace which creates opportunities for others.

And most of us didn't think much of Gykores when he first arrived on loan. Similar with Haji. You can never quite tell. Perhaps Simms will turn out to be the second coming of Messi 😆

That's fair and you have to admire the effort he puts in. He has to play at the moment because we are threadbare (a) at RW with Tats injured and Rapha not yet ready to be a starter and (b) CF with neither Bassette nor (sadly) Simms worthy of a starting place.

To say “he has been absolutely garbage” clearly goes beyond last night, otherwise you would say “he was garbage” and ideally but not necessarily add “last night”. Perhaps the OP only meant to refer to last night but I can only go on the words they used.

No, they go further than that. Saying he’s “a car crash” and “he has been absolutely garbage” are more than just comments on last night. As for suggesting he was drunk, words fail me.

I’m sure he will come good when he has settled in and has more experience of playing our system. I didn’t think that, even last night, he was as awful as some of our fans are saying even though he made some mistakes.

Really?

I do think some of the criticism of KKH on here is way over the top. I for one am reserving judgement until he has had a chance to settle in and get some minutes under his belt. I thought Brau showed some nice touches.

Another good penalty from Haji.

Poor defending from a set piece again.

Torp and Rudoni already improving us 👍

We may struggle to score the Old Seven tonight. TBH the Old One would be nice 😊

Of the players that we don’t know much about I think Brau has been the best. Some good things from KKH and Rapha, although they both need more game time to improve consistency. Andrews a bit disappointing but I’m certainly not writing him off just on the back of this game.

Good work and an excellent cross by Brau.

It’s a poor game. Nice to see Simms putting a shift in and using his physique. You can tell he’s causing them problems by the number of times they resort to fouling him. He does look a bit rusty but that’s hardly surprising given his lack of game time recently.

That must be it. He tries really hard, so it's certainly not lack of effort. He shows glimpses of the good player that I still think he could become. If it's something behind the scenes the we won't know and that's how it should be. I do hope we can get him out on loan somewhere, for his sake...

I'm delighted if MVE stays, unless it's us who has pulled the plug and he's unhappy about it. I also wonder what it means for us having funds to buy a CB and a winger.
