He also deserves credit for winning the free kick which lead to the 1st, with some quick footwork.

Well said. They would have booted Saka or Raphael all over the place.

This may go down as one of the most classic Bi-Polar match threads of all time :) Oh, the game itself is quite entertaining too!!

This idea that KKH was a waste of a signing if MVE stays is hilarious... As if Lampard would not have realised that there was a chance MVE might not go! Complete tosh. The real risk was last season when we had only Lati (gulp) as genuine back up if MVE got injured.

Think Saka's close control etc. means he is particularly useful in home games when the opposition often sit back. But Rapha has the potential to be useful for us in away games (especially in the 2nd half against tired legs) where we are under the cosh and there is more space for him to operate...

The original post is one of the most sensible I have read for ages. Did chuckle at 'nit bits coming out of the club' mind you :)

Left back in U 21s

Wonder if that player we were linked with (Lamine Fanne) will feature for them tonight... He has got a long time left on his contract, so I would be surprised if we went in for him (ie not best value for money)

Wilson KKH Perry Bidwell Batanwi Rapha Allen (C) Andrews Brau Simms Obikwu That team will never happen in a million years, but it's what I would go with :)

I think one of the key things we need to change is to play more one touch football in the final third. I think Sakamoto, Wright, Rudoni and Torp definitely have the ability to do it. Our build up play is ponderous, so I think any striker selected currently is going to find things difficult.

Anti-climax... but, may turn out to be a blessing as it will make it clear to DK that we need to spend money if we are to challenge...

Have missed this place over the summer... drawing at home in the 1st game of 46 and it is the end of the world :)

You might want to rephrase that...

Not watching the game, but based on comments, does anyone think we might see Brau come on to replace EMC at some point in 2nd half?

Rate him highly - he can be less effective when playing away for some reason though (formation tweak might not suit him?)

YES!! Torp ahead of Sheaf :) The right call

1-1 draw I reckon, Thomas header from a corner

We have been spoilt in the last few years.... cast your mind back to some strikers we had a bit longer ago, your soul will quickly recover (e.g. I remember Clive Eakin - normally enthusiastic - quite clearly losing the will to live while trying to commentate on our efforts to attack when someone...

Though the initial selling price seems low, sometimes we have to be pragmatic. As Gibbo says, we will double our money (probably more than, with add ons). Looks like MVE has been up front about wanting a move, we have acted quickly (and well) to replace him. A decent CB and someone to...

Some sky blue tinted glasses on with valuations of MVE here... An asset, no doubt, but better going forward than defensively. Let's hope KKH is ok, then we won't have a lack of pace on the right of defence at the start of the season...
