Defensively, superior. Offensively, inferior. Definitely more suited to being a traditional left back, really. Which, is a shame really, as he was a solid, professional, consistent performer last season, and I feel that DaSilva is already becoming an MR favourite. I’m not entirely sold on the...

Beat you to it. 👍🏻 Was quite surprised that he had passed away a few years ago, aged 50.

Looking back at Wright’s ‘highlight reel’, I’m getting the impression he was deployed more as a LFW or RFW, in certain matches, with instructions to run the channels, chase onto a long pass over the top (which, sadly, none of our midfielders can do) and get in the box when the ball is wide on...

Jamie Paterson counts as several, considering how many times we’ve been tenuously linked with him. Trifon Ivanov.

I tend to steer widely away from anything ‘political’, however, the historical significance of this latest outbreak is, by all accounts, a blood feud of colossal proportions. I was reading up on it earlier, and most of it has evaporated already. Looks like Israel isn’t messing around though...

Need to get forward and press, this is dire.

Anyone know what the consensus on their forum is? No idea what the Birmingham forum is called, myself.

Makes you realise that, in fact, we do have a fair slice of fortune at times. A few minutes later, we almost forced another own goal from them.

MR wouldn’t go for it. He likes his 3 big lumps at CB, and wingbacks. I prefer a 4-4-2 myself, there’s still plenty of dynamic options for it.

Richard Rufus.

Also, it was a split second decision: hoof it or try and make some space to (possibly) counter. The latter, I imagine, is probably what he’s been instructed to do. The rest was just awful, Norwich basically walked it in. 🫣 Overall, I think we should have won it. If only Tatsu could have...

I agree wholeheartedly, Janet.

Owen Hargreavessssss.

I did not overlook this, however I can’t help myself. Ian Marshall.

McCann and Albertz from Rangers.

Alexi Lalas. Can’t believe USA 94 was nearly 30 years ago, I’m starting to get as old as I feel.

It’d be like the Benny Hill show, but with less energy.

It’s be interesting to gauge (from Wright himself) if he’s found the transition to English football more difficult than any other league - be it the Turkish, Danish, or Dutch leagues. Regardless of whether we payed over the odds, it’s done, and unchangeable. If he acclimatises, great. If he...

This is what I alluded to, by switching Lati to DMF and Tatsu to RWB. Not ideal, but Lati is solid enough, and with Tatsu bombing down the wing + Allen creating space and linking the midfield/attack, it could (in theory) work.

With another contingency in midfield, this may prove a tricky one; all I see realistically, is Lati switching to DMF and Tatsu filling in at RWB. Mainly so that Allen can remain AMF, and do what he does best, and still have a defensive minded DMF (that can play there) and not be a liability...
