    Great ball Tats. Excellent control by Wright - not his fault he lost it.

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    I’m pretty sure academy kids would have watched the first team play. What’s your point? Anyway. My bad, Haji Wright is absolutely brilliant and anyone who says otherwise is clueless. It’s not his fault when he’s had a bad game, he needs time to learn because no one had ever given him any...

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    This 100% He’s not performed at the level and for a 25 year old who has had top level training in Europe including Germany I’d expect much more technical quality. I mean, he was at the LA Galaxy set up at the same time as Robbie Keane so he’s had the opportunity to study how a striker should...

    Transfer targets

    It is a tricky one with O’Hare, Play him and he plays well, a biggish team will come in and pay him a big sign on fee if he sits it out until his contract expires. Or, his agent can demand a big sign on fee from us plus big wages to stay. Don’t play him, and I can’t see many biggish clubs...

    Jay DaSilva Signs!

    JDS was a Adi type signing. Any stat chaps know if last game was the first time we didn’t field any ex Chelsea youth (outfield?) players?

    Maybe it’s “sign a contract or you won’t play”. More likely not wanting to bring him in too quick to avoid what happened to JJ, plus I’m struggling to see where he’d play in this set up.

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    I agree that we had to replace our two best players. The problem is that we haven’t replaced them. Obviously, Vik at the end of his development here was probably irreplaceable and Wright hasn’t performed to a high enough level. Hamer has not been replaced and that has cost us and hence the...

    “Lazy”

    I think that people squandering their talent and opportunity is as much an issue as anything else. Bright is a clear example. For balance, so was Kevin Thornton. People bang on that I suggested we looked at Hudlin when he was non-league and local. “If he was any good, why isn’t he playing...

    “Lazy”

    Compared to Dave Bennett (full of running) and Garry Thompson (all action) Cyrille appeared to put in less effort. Also, at WBA Cyrille apparently put in more effort. According to some (I think I read it in Thommo’s book or it might have been a Bennett podcast), Regis was off the rails and more...

    We all know why this is, right? I see you. Oh and why don’t you like Hudlin? I see you. Those who criticise others….. Edit: I’m sure you are not prejudiced in any way but accusing someone on such spurious grounds isn’t cool. See my point?

    “Lazy”

    Looking at yesterday’s game: MVE chased a ball to the by-line where there was a slim chance of getting it. Haji didn’t chase many balls that weren’t to his feet. “We’ll fight to the game is won” is part of our club anthem. I for one want to see players run and chase and press the...

    Player Ratings v Millwall

    Think I watched a different game to many on here. Wright was poor and was rated on his performance today, not some envisioned performance in the future. We all hope he does well and all this about Gyok being poor to start is all well and good, he would have been rated on his performances at...

    Player Ratings v Millwall

    I agree, think he’ll improve - my initial thought was that he might not have had loads of top level coaching. However, checking Wiki, he’s evidently has some time at a high level in Germany so it’s a surprise that his technical gameplay isn’t more rounded. Today his passing and some of his...

    Player Ratings v Millwall

    I agree there are a few on here that like to shout down opinions that they don’t agree with and using the accusation above is a bit wrong. Fact is, Wright’s touch and passing today was far short of what is expected at Championship level. On the plus side, he can find space. That 8m tag is a...

    Brilliant, I agree but in seasons gone by he would have dithered and missed the bin man. He’s matured well

    Collins 8 Was a 9 until last minute when he got caught in no man’s and Eccles blocked on the line. But hey, great performance and a clean sheet. Spending useful money on a back up keeper to the golden glove looked a bit mad but happy to be wrong. Looks a solid keeper - much less drama than...
