What’s the opinion here? For me it’s a question of when not if. Yesterday would have IMO been a totally different result had VAR been in force. At least one of the penalty shouts or Godden’s header would have been awarded. It’ll be a travesty if we miss out on playoffs by a couple of points...

What?

Scroll up. I said loan him and get a back up for Gyok in - a physical type. If we’ve got Godden / Wag vying for one spot then fine. Tavares is an option there. JJ too at a push. Bapaga can be brought back if he carries on as he is. Don’t miss the point: we’ve plenty of no 10’s and only one...

I’d loan him - put him in the shop window - get his confidence up. Playing him alongside Godden won’t do him any good.

Walker will do brilliantly alongside a big fella against slower opponents. In L2 and L1 he’ll score brimfuls. In the Champ he will score regularly if playing alongside the right strike partner. BUT it’s his overall game that lacks. He can’t bully, tracking back is a chore, he’s not an extra...

If you are going to call someone an idiot then don’t make yourself look like one: “man you’re an idiot”, not “man your an idiot”. Just saying.

Because at the end of their respective contracts one would be mid 20’s and the other in their 30’s. The latter wouldn’t attract much of a fee if sold before contract expires. Transfer fees do not necessarily reflect ability. See O’Hare for details.

That’s how I see it too.

Moore 6 - their goal went through him. 8 times out of 10 he might have blocked it. Unsighted by our defender maybe. Dabo 7 - I rate him but took a bit long in whipping the ball over on occasion, particularly after Gyok went off. Maatsen 6 - better than last time out, deserved his booking with...

Banned for driving? FML.

I’d understand the common sense of letting Walker / Waghorn or both go if it made space in the payroll for another no9. Look, If Godden is out and we don’t have Waghorn or Walker we could still call on Tavares, call back Bapaga, play 1 up with two AM’s running off. Bright might get divine...

Walker can finish but doesn’t have enough about the rest of his game to make it in the champ. Godden has a bit of devil about him and can scheme but he’s 30.

Not his worst game and as I said, does do some things well and can be tidy. The problem is, he seems to me to lack awareness: when to tackle around the box. When to dwell on the ball. When to try the slide pass. His decision making is not fully developed For the purpose of the stat-gimps...

There’s about half a dozen on here that whenever anyone points out that Sheaf loses the ball more than he should start dribbling like walruses. They probably go around shouting at clouds when they’re not on here.

He was restricted by what he has on the bench. Kelly for Sheaf? I can see the thinking but Kelly looked off the boil. Hindsight etc. Walker for Gyok? Gyok was struggling but Walker was not the answer. That wasn’t hindsight- just a lack of thinking. We haven’t got a back to goal forward in the...

I didn’t rate him at all but got hammered with stats telling me he was great. So I’ve looked again at him with an open mind. He can play tidily but will make 4 howlers per match - handballs in dangerous area today, needless free kick in dangerous area, loses possession due to lack of...

Gyok was tiring so the game was turning. It’s right at that point we needed to be the team to bring a Kazim type player on, not another outright finisher. Godden plays that role.

One day, the fact we have no cover for Gyok will be understood. At the moment, as soon as this totally obvious point is mentioned one gets the usual brain donors frothing total bs.

As soon as we take Gyok off the whole game changes for the worse. Walker cannot play back to goal. Godden can’t. Any opposition manager can see that their team can now push higher from defense. Time and time again this happens. They bring on Kasim. He creates havoc. We bring on Walker who is...

It brings the whole “can Dabo play as a midfielder?” Question back to the fore. Can he play the Makalele role or Phillips (Leeds) role leaving Kane wide for crossing? I’ve no idea, what are the thoughts of the Forum?
