Good point. We might as well have brought Jodi Jones back. Neither really fit our style.

True, we signed Simms / Wright to replace Gyok, probably Ayari to stand in for Cal but didn’t have time / luck / foresight to replace Gus with a roaming playmaker. Thing is, who we have signed in those positions has flopped so far.

To be fair I think he’s been more proactive over the last couple of years with subs. Used to leave it too late - stats might disagree but just my perception

I’m going to stick my neck out for some Hudlin style abuse: Sign Glen Rae on a trial / short term basis (29, released by Luton but signed non-contract with Worthing the other day for match fitness (I think I’m right in saying that he can still sign for us? Anyone know?)) We are short of depth...

Is the reality that last year we were a bottom half team with 2 Prem level stars on a mission? Sobering.

He made a few poor kicks tonight but in general I think he’s quite good at gathering and moving play on. We’ve bigger issues than Wilson to sort.

It’s not necessary zip or pace it’s effort and movement to pull the opponents out of position that we lack. MR brought Ayari in to do that I think and it’s not worked.

To be fair I think Wilson is quite good with his feet. Used to play midfield apparently

Maybe we should make headlines and if we win a corner not bother putting anyone in the box and just tap it out for a goal kick. We’ve more chance of being hit on a counter than scoring from a corner. Partly satire.

I don’t think Simms worked particularly hard. He should have had a free hit against a makeshift defence.

Wilson 7 Couple of good saves. Distribution poor at times. MVE 6 Had no outlet - no forward making any kind of clever runs or showing real determination. No midfielder to lay off to and pass and move. Eccles should have shown for him more. As a result feels he has to go himself - with mixed...

Starting to think we should drop both of them and get Max back. Satire. I hope.

Utter shite.

With no working ACLs…

Ayari is woefully out of his depth.

At that point in time, it looks like we had Eastwood, Best, Leon Mc and Clinton Morison as established forwards with Gary Madine on loan and Cal Wilson and Jeffers as youngsters coming through. The first 4 were probably considered to be decent level players (I add, at that time) and Lita may...

Which Boro? Nuneaton in the end. Can’t say he didn’t like the area. Funny old world.

Beginning to think Wright and Kitching were panic buys. Simms I can understand the logic: proven at this level to a degree, staged fee, young, potential to improve; a calculated risk. That he hasn’t hit the groove yet is a bit surprising given his form last season in this division. 12m plus...

Who was that German player who linked up with us 3 times or whatever when we used to keep going to Germany pre season. What happened to him?

Wilson 6 Thought he could have come off his line quicker for their goal - seemed a bit indecisive. Otherwise ok, but some decisions with when to release the ball and to whom were questionable. MVE 7 Showed his class at times and growing in confidence - he knows he’s better than most at this...
