Spot on

I take it you haven’t played at much of a level ? If you had you would know that Forwards thrive on confidence and scoring gives them that. You only have to watch Simms and Bassette play to see that they are clearly lacking confidence. It is possible we will go into the first match of the...

Not really the issue. The issue is about finding teams that you are well matched to compete against rather than being beaten easily or winning easily. It won’t however help our forwards confidence that they haven’t scored in pre season, after all they were not really firing at the end of last...

It’s a real problem finding the right level of opposition …. Too good and frankly we are getting comfortably beaten, or play Bristol rovers and win at a stroll. The upside however is that it’s still clear where we need to strengthen to have a greater likelihood of success than last season

@Jimmy87 any news ? You’re very quiet this summer.

Spot on. it’s the reason Milan was less marauding last season. We need his pace to cover across the centre half’s.

Barely had a kick on loan last season …..

I don’t think Lampard is a manager who looks to play off the cuff, he’s not Harry Redknapp. Frank wants players to play to a shape, to know their position etc. I can’t recall either Tats or Wright /EMC swapping wings mid match unless it was the outcome of a substitution.

You can see why Frank loves Tats. Tats is happy to cut inside and create the space for MVE / KKH to overlap. EMC is better at that than Wright too. wright is a bigger goal threat out wide than Tats or EMC but is worse defensively than both. I think this is why Frank plays Wright through the...

No idea what’s happened to Bidwell but he looks Half the player he used to be ….

Raphael starting

BTA being BTA…. Brau started brightly

This isn’t true. the model is not that we will only ever buy players with a big sell on value. Just as it isn’t for Brighton who have Milner and Wellbeck. The model is we will invest predominantly in players we can improve and sell for a profit to fund further investments and we will add...

We all get frustrated by slower progress on transfers than we would like but in truth the timing is not as important as the player. look at Grimes, joined in Jan and really helped us go up another level. If we sign 2 more of that quality in the last week of the window it will still be a...

I have that feeling too but more because they won’t get the money they hope for MVE and he will then stay.

I’m not sure they are relevant benchmarks. Any examples in this century 😆

Why is this relevant ?? but given you started …if you apply your logic that FK didn’t improve the Derby team and should take little credit for their Play off final place .. I assume you do give credit to Frank for building the champions league winning Chelsea team that Tuchel inherited ??

If you can’t see what Grimes brings to our midfield then try another sport as football isn’t for you ….

What’s the problem with that ? Isn’t the fun part of being a fan the bit where you get carried away with optimism ?? The bit where your excitement gets the better of your logic or cynicism. If we sign 2 or 3 good players this summer we will have fans saying we will go up this year. Other clubs...

There are a tonne of marketing grads who would killl to be the media person at a championship club.
