“Wright refuses to track back.” Or alternatively that is now a quirk in our system, and why we’re playing a flat 3 in the middle. Gives the cover to allow him to stay high.

O’Hare is this year’s Wesley Jobello. Who’d have thought.

We look to be playing more of a flat 3 with a focus of leaving Wright a bit higher up the pitch. So both can play and get a left sided CM in. I did suggest Carel Eiting in the summer (albeit as a Hamer replacement, but turns out he’s left footed). Moved to FC Twente in the summer but barely...

Was on my list but not bothering at that price.

He wasn’t, he was operating as a LCM. Covered the left midfield area which enabled Wright to stay high.

Just not as a 2. Positionally I think Eccles struggles slightly in a 2 as he pushes up quite aggressively and left us exposed to counter attacks quite a few times. With 3 in the middle now I can see him going from strength to strength.

CM absolutely the priority. Beyond that maybe a winger if 433 is here to stay. Then it’s dependent on whether we have any leave. I’ve got a feeling that some players’ days are numbered: Fadz, Kelly, Palmer.

Looking back at his underlying stats, it seems that Wright has never been a prolific finisher. His xG generally speaking has been higher than his xGOT. By the looks of it, this isn’t true for many of the division’s top strikers. Significant downward swing so far this season, by far the most...

My concern was that flipping to a back 4 would bring about a loss of attacking impetus from the full backs. How wrong I was. Bidwell fantastic yesterday, MvE v good as well.

At right wing. Jack Cork, another to have a successful career at CM in the Premier League also got stuck at right wing. We don’t half make it difficult for ourselves!

Angel Gomes!

Can’t remember the company name but they were promoting ‘Black November’ on TV the other day. Grow up.

In fairness I think it feels intrusive at first, but I’ve got used to it now.

It’s a shame it’ll likely come too late in the day but I wouldn’t be averse to seeing Rico Lewis in centre midfield with Rice. Whilst it isn’t his de-facto position he ends up there more often than not when on the pitch. A left field should would be Angel Gomes. Loved watching him in the U21s...

That Sebastian Nanasi has come up on my radar when passing time.

Seem to recall a few people on here mentioning it over the course of time, any recommendations? Got a white pair of Tommy Hilfiger trainers that are a bit beaten up now and could do with a refresh.

Can see why Doug King took over now. 4D chess material.

I’m still getting a banner advert at the bottom of my screen on most threads.

Nick’s sold out to the Coventry Telegraph.
