I really hope they come good, but it feels like our recruitment strategy at present is “kiss enough frogs”.

I honestly thought the bad hugely outweighed the good. He was a passenger in the 2nd half.

It’s really frustrating. I get that fans don’t want their side to sell their best players, but look at the bigger picture. If it means we can bring in 3-4 to improve the overall quality then do it. And it’s a myth you need a 20 goal a season striker. Spread the goals throughout the team.

Can he play centre back?

I do think the mind was to play them both together and I think it would have worked, with O’Hare’s engine making up for Palmer’s lack of. Issue being O’Hare is so crucial to that dynamic. Still wouldn’t class Palmer as a failed signing but it’s apparent that zero contingency was made for O’Hare...

One instance of their player diving in for a challenge and removing a big clump of turf with his foot. It’s a state.

One thing I’ll quickly add to the Palmer summary: the situation towards the end of the 1st half when the gap opened up for him to shoot as Vik ran round the outside, only for Palmer to try the pass to Vik. THAT WAS THE DECOY RUN!!!

Can’t wait to have an entire back 5 of loans. Absolutely staggering. As an aside, you use your loan allocation to bring in the types of players who have quality you can’t afford to bring in permanently. Why we insist on bringing in loans who will largely be rotation options at best is mad...

Wilson - 3 - shocking for 1st, 2nd and 4th goals. If he starts next season as our number 1 I won’t be bothering. Dabo - 5 - looked miles off it in patches, brighter in other patches, and completely hung out to dry by BNC. Rose - 5 - spatial awareness really poor today, massive gaps for Pukki...

Didn’t they try that once already? And that was with proper soldiers that had trained for that particular exercise.

Still hopeful for Elliot Anderson.

If the cap fits…

A mate who works Saturdays bought a ticket for this last night. Whoops!

Didn’t realise JPvH is out of contract in the summer…

That’s about as I read things. The wing backs are one of my biggest concerns as they should be chipping in with 3-5 a season given the system. We essentially need a front man who can hit 15, AMs should be aiming for 10, then a further 15-20 spread across the midfield (including WBs in this)...

Probably more one for the summer, especially if Derby don’t go up, but Eiran Cashin? Centre back, left footed, young, aggressive, seems decent on the ball as well.

Surely a booking for that dive from Hojbjerg?

Course it is. Brentford did it.

Sell some of the high-value players and reinvest the proceeds into signing more of the Hamer/Sheaf/Gyokeres types.
