I totally understand the notion of keeping our best CDM at CDM, but unless we play 2 up we don’t have any AM options who have ever scored (might be wrong). If Hudds mark Gyok out of the game, who is our scoring threat? Allen got into great positions and if he had more confidence/ability would...

100% agree.

Allen chased back. Hamer in that role.

How many fit at our club are better than Hamer in an attacking midfield role. You can’t answer old fella. Stick to bingo.

Well, I’m inclined to disagree. I’m not going to ridicule playing 3 up top, but I don’t think it’s a sensible alternative. Hudlin scored again for Hudds B this week. Genuinely worried that Waghorn will be out of the squad due to loan agreement and Warnock puts him as a striker option on the...

What are the attributes of an attacking midfielder? Being able to receive, anticipate, pass, dribble, run, shoot? You saying he can’t do that? He’s clearly capable of playing there. I’d argue far better than any other player at the club IMO.

He was awarded goal of the month in February for his earlier goal v Hudds (which might have been end Jan?). He had the Huddersfield defenders on toast by skipping into the box. Anyway, point still stands: Name a better player fit at the club who could play AM? Of course, there isn’t one...

Hamer is the best CDM at the club. He’s unfortunately, also the best attacking midfielder fit at the moment. In an advanced position he can do things like, I dunno, score the February goal of the month.

How about this: Wilson McNally Fadz Doyle CBS BNC Bidwell WBS Dabo Eccles CDMs Hamer Maguire AMs * Gyok ——- Back 5 standard Dabo: Is a wildcard suggestion, moving him from RWB to CDM might work. He’s no Hamer (who used to be a RWB) but these are challenging times. 2 years ago I would have...

Waghorn £13K (I’m sure SBB said this) Walker £10k Kane £4k (we are probably getting £4K contribution Charlton to make his 8k) Dacosta £5K Dabo £5K Kelly £10k Bapaga £1k Maguire £5k £53k plus any NI / appearance bonuses. £60k week? Give it all to Vik. (Only kinda joking) Edit: someone did...

That’s similar to the Bereton-Diaz situation, no? Hate to say it but this is where having a Mike Ashley type owner who could afford to say “Alright Viktor, we will match the £5m as a signing on fee and the wages. Here’s clause about injuries and insurance.” That way, it’ll cost us £5m plus £6m...

It’s a question of strategy: Offer Vik a contract worth (fag packet) £5m over 3 years or let him go for £10m less than his “real” value.

He’s fit now. Playing regularly although at a low level.

Midfielders O’Hare, Palmer, Allen, Sheaf & Kelly all out / not match ready would have been difficult to predict. Still think we should have offered Jodi Jones a low basic contract (doubt he’s secured a high pay contract) and loaned him out first half of the season with a recall option...

Didn’t realise Preston was his old club. Good shout, Maguire must be at the point where he knows he’s got to make a mark to get a contract or he’s going to tumble down the divisions and pay scale.

Actually my previous reply a tad harsh. Just trying to think how we can get around having no attacking playmaker with Palmer out and how to put the back line together (with Doyle being possibly out - Rose not ready yet IMO) and bring Godden in. Need Hamer pulling strings and sitting behind...

? The one where we’ve been playing 1 up front? You think we’ll keep it the same and play 2 up front. Alright then. I see. Nurse?!!!

Might suit us going a flat back 4 tomorrow, McNally & Fadz as CB’s, Dabo and Bidwell FBS, push Hamer a bit more AM in an old fashioned 8 role, Eccles as old fashioned no.4, Double Barrelled loanees as wingers / wide mids that track back, Gyok and Gyods up front.

Doesn’t the CET article quote Robins stating he’d be out for a few days - week at most? He’d have been useful on Saturday instead of JWE. If Palmer and Sheaf are out long term, we need Kelly in and around the squad.

Refereeing decisions tend to even themselves out over time. Many referees would have blown up a foul for the McNally second challenge for the first goal. Many referees would have straight red carded for that stamp (and what looked to me like a hand to face - but I’ve not watched it back)...
