It's pretty much the definition of a cartel.

I was hoping Ayari could play a slightly deeper role, but he looked lost when he was tried there before. Maybe with a bit more training and familiarity he can adapt to play there.

You got a flatulence problem?

And we expected things from Hamer and Gyokeres when we signed them for that kind of money. Just because we went mad spending this year after a windfall doesn't mean we shouldn't have expectations for that cash. We're not suddenly some cash-rich club that can afford the odd expensive flop. If...

But doesn't sound like he's exactly going into detail either.

Godden and Simms weren't working either. They both want to play the same role.

Before we signed Wright we were looking at Simms as an expensive signing and were surprised we'd paid that much for a player. Just because we've since spent almost silly money on other players doesn't mean Simms shouldn't have decent expectations placed on him. He was brought in as a major part...

You'd think they'd at least say what we should be looking to pay and advise not to proceed if it's too high.

If we play the box and the extra midfielder then it's less of an issue IMO. As I've said it does create the problem of who to play as the lone striker. I wouldn't be averse to trying one DCM but think we may be a bit too exposed doing that. Back four isn't an option IMO as the wingbacks don't...

Doubt the hundred would continue working for the women if the men aren't playing it.

I'm not saying that will happen, certainly not after MR's comments. I was just thinking that at home against Huddersfield we should be looking to get at them, and having Eccles at RWB isn't going to do that. I guess we could just play Kelly as a single DCM and have Ayari and Saka as two ACM's

Are you suggesting we've spent £20m on players he doesn't?

Watford will push that assessment to the limit.

Problem is playing two very defensive minded DCM's with an AM who's just showboating and fancy flicks. Maybe Ayari can provide a better link until O'hare is back, but even then I think he'll need a very slow and gradual reintroduction. Allen when fit will put in the yards but not that...

At 25 and nearly £8m, you have to expect Wright to be at the required standard and also shows signs he could be one of the stand out players at this level. At the moment he looks like one our U21 punts that we're hoping to develop. Many more games like that and you'd start questioning whether...

I guess Stephen Hughes and Sammy Clingan don't have any kids then.

I think he's past that and into posting gifs of glue now.

Wilson Lati Fadz Binks MvE Eccles Kelly Dasilva Ayari Saka* Godden Collins, Kitching, Bidwell, Thomas, Allen*, Palmer, Simms, Wright, + 1 Hopefully MvE will be fit. If not as we're at home I'd let Sakamoto play RWB and bring Allen into AM. Fadz was a bit poor and I'd like to be able to start...

No, but arguably the players might just give that little bit extra to make a good first impression.

We haven't bought too many players - the squad is still relatively small and would struggle to cope with a couple of injuries. What appears to be the problem is the players we have signed at the moment either don't fit into the way we play or just don't seem good enough.
