Simms put himself about well, hassled the defence and won headers. Would have had Simms on first half personally, when we were actively trying to put crosses. Then bring on Norm to harass tired legs for 30. He'll be a top player but feel like he needs a bit of time and some strength work...

Bit of a harsh assessment considering there is literally no other specialist RB or RWB options. The guy is knackered and it shows, no need to insinuate he doesn't care

Yep 100% this, we are far off being a really good side. Desperate for cover for MvE and a few quality calmer/experienced heads and we'd look far better.

Maybe right but I'd have backed a fresh Norm against their defence in the last 20 mins they looked a bit leggy. Basically we need Wright back asap really

Bassette is better against tired legs, he isn't physical enough to be a lone striker yet. Runs around a lot which will catch some people's eye but let's utilise that against knackered legs. Defence and Sheaf were so poor for their second goal. Really annoying as we were gaining a foothold...

I think we failed hard not getting in back ups for both Sheaf and MvE. We just can't afford to drop either or give them a rest. Would have been ideal to try get in some succession planning in and use this season to rotate and bed in a youngster

Nah not for me, it's not the issue. a couple just aren't good enough yet, a few are knackered (MvE poor bloke has no back up). I think they lack belief. The defence are shaky and nerves get to them all. That first goal was such bad luck. But we looked ok when we got our tails up for a bit in...

I miss when we were more tin pot and the boxes were rented out as hotel rooms on match days. Big foldaway Murphy beds in each box. A room used to be something ridiculously cheap like £60 a night with a match ticket, breakfast and a drink in the casino. Glory days they were (football was proper...

Yes definitely, Norm off the bench against tired legs is going to look way better than against fully fit defenders from min 1. We need to use that to our advantage and give him time to bulk up a bit. Simms also needs time, we've seen him dominate and he strikes me as a character that needs to...

I get why people think he'd be mad to go to Man United but I would imagine they are still a huge draw for players and managers status wise. Also driven types like Amorim and Vik probably fancy their chance to be the one to get a club like that back on course. Got to be a more interesting...

Harsh scores for Simms as per usual. He occupied their defence in a flat first half. Yes Bassette ran around more but he is so raw. nearly cost us a goal at the end. Looks a lot better as fresh legs from the bench for me. Simms desperately needs a run of games to get going, I really hope he gets...

Yeah bulbous forehead and weak chin. Simms is ok, the hair and the beard need to be toned down a touch but its definitely better than last year

I think Thomas was scanned at Burnley. Lati was at Man City but it means that they dont get haircut upgrades.. bet he regrets the bleach blonde look now

Looks like EA have actually tried to fix Rush 🥳 was an unplayable mess as soon as people realised you could just sit there inactive and still farm GP. 5 mins matches and stricter booting off for inactive players. Played two games and no knobheads yet. The shorter matches make a hell of a...

Nobody is saying he would trouble the first IX but he did offer a bit of chaos and unpredictability with his play. Something we don't have since him and O'Hare left. We can do better but it's poor we have a replacement lined up

Has his compensation even been sorted yet, would imagine he can't take a job until that is sorted

Impossible to say what would have happened. I'd say the cup run cost us a shot at the playoffs. The players went full self preservation mode in that Brum game pre Semi. That and the mental fall out of how we lost the cup took a toll. Maybe if we'd not got the comeback win at wolves we'd have...

Catching up on Mare of Easttown, good so far

Watched this with my kids, we all loved it!

I thought Tats and EMC were pretty fluid first half drifting inside when the other had the ball. EMC will suit that better. I feel like Simms would have have been a better fit than Norm especially first half. We needed a more physically imposing target in the middle. I'd have backed him to...
