    Well, yes, there are options but all square pegs in round holes. If I only had one fork and broke it, there plenty of ways i could transfer food from a plate into my mouth. My fingers, a knife, I could even get my gardening hand fork out and literally have a stab at it. None of them are...

    But part of that exposure was because the men were also playing it. If the Hundred had just been for female teams it wouldn't have got anywhere near the same coverage.

    They need a rocket up their arses

    So the plan is to pass it from side to side, but more quickly.

    It's pretty much the definition of a cartel.

    SIGNED!!!! - Tatsuhiro Sakamoto

    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.

    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...

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    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.

    Match Thread Huddersfield (H) Mon 25/09

    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?

    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...

    Simms + Wright = ?

    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...
