I loved him at City and still wish he was here. It has always been known that he likes a beer, which even for a pro footballer is fine within reason, but as he gets into his late 20's it will be far more difficult for him to maintain those same levels of fitness if it is more than the odd beer...

With Van Ewijk out for a while I guess a back 4 does become more of an option. If so however, then we can't be playing McFadzean, and probably Da Silva too, who are both suited to a 3 at the back/ wing back formation. A back 4 of Lati, Thomas, Kitching and Bidwell is feasible, but I suspect it...

but Palmer likes to dribble!

We'd actually be on 4 points if you took out his goals. If you also took out his contribution in assists in the Middlesbrough game then we'd actually only be on 2 points, and would then be at the bottom with Sheff Wed.

Your lack of appreciation of what makes a good goalscorer continues to astound me, along with your view that Godden only scores tap ins. I presume you think Godden is just lucky in being in a position to score those tap ins. The reality however is that Godden is an instinctive goalscorer who...

I haven't checked for definite but I make it 11 points from those same fixtures!

You make me laugh. You spent much of last season absolutely slating Allen, and much of this one doing the same for Godden, yet now are both in your chosen XI. I suppose Godden did have 2 more tap ins last night :ROFLMAO:

I agree with a lot of your posts but that smacks me as an example of confirmation bias! You and others on this thread don't rate Wilson so are looking for anything to hang on him, and have been looking to do so ever since he broke into the team instead of Marosi. I don't believe Collins would...

He may not last 90 minutes at present, but Ayari seems to offer far more than Palmer in terms of effort and output at the moment. I'm not sure we are in a position to wait for a game where Palmers tricks have a positive influence on the outcome of a match. I do believe Palmer is better and...

I agree that he was poor for the 3rd goal, but I would be very surprised if MR dropped him right now.

Wright scored goals in Turkey and Denmark's Premier Leagues so I presume must have some goals in him at our level too. Its clear that he, nor Simms are poachers or natural finishers like Godden is, and they are currently playing with no confidence. A lucky/ scrambled goal would come in handy...

If he does then it's not because he's a coward though, but more likely he's trying to get the edge on a defender by literally getting the jump on him.

The only time I see us going 4 at the back is in instances like last season, when we are chasing a game and he takes Fadz off so as not to over expose his lack of pace in a back 4.

I think the circumstances of the Hull game made it appear we were less fit than we actually are. In the 2nd half particularly our forwards failed to keep a hold of the ball meaning anytime our midfielders and wing backs made forward runs they were almost instantly having to turn back on their...

Despite their good start I still think its a bit too early to mark Leicester down as automatic runaway winners.

Really? You must be seeing something I don't! So by definition you think Godden is a bottler?

Given Palmer had played a full game for Jamaica the likelihood is he wouldn't be on it last night. It was midfield where Hull had the extra legs on us towards the end of the game, and Palmer's introduction didn't change that. I would have expected Sakamoto to have got about the pitch more and...

Estupinan did well in the 2 games against us for Hull last season. Hopefully he doesn't play tonight!

That is one bizarre list. If it is truly an all time list then surely pre war players like Bourton, Lauderdale and Mason would have to be included. So many players missing that ought to be there. Here's an XI of omitted players I've spotted :) Sealey Coop Barry Blockley Holmes Blair Powell...

That refers to domestic coverage only and doesn't state whether i follow will still be available overseas.
