Surely most would take Allen and Dasilva in with them. On the actual topic I’m not sure we need yellows or that they are an indication of not being nice. Let’s be honest it’s a non contact sport in essence - you can get a yellow for intending to breathe on someone in three games time.

Agreed. Quality, pace, set piece threat.

Wright is a very good player.

Steady all round I’d say with a bunch in the middle with Simms just below them and Kitching and Wright just above.

A good point against a good side - one of the best in the league. The Eccles/Palmer switch should have happened 10-15 earlier. Kitching looks better every game. We need more from Simms in that formation but overall we’re improving nicely.

I really don’t think they’ll be a clamour for O’Hare. He’s 3 games back after an ACL. That’s probably the reason we’ve not offered yet. Whatever our offer is could easily be the best he gets.

Maybe they’ve targeted Wright because they thought he could do better here and now. Sell on value is obviously a consideration but I’d say it shouldn’t be the priority.

There’s no way Tavares is on that……and anyway Chris Broad was the better opener.

Swedish messi. Jesus wept.

What a bizarre metric “passes into the final third” is.

Not quite the same proximity with the injury and was a proven PL striker.

Pace is such an asset in todays game and Van Ewijk is very quick. An exciting signing

Don’t think people will be throwing money at O’Hare. ACL injuries aren’t great in terms of attracting interest. It’s harsh but it’s the way it is.

Yes, happily surprised with attendances. Maybe the game itself has grown in terms of popularity and exposure. It’s strange to think we had years and years of what would now be Premier League football and drew in 10-15,000 late seventies early eighties, and all through the eighties to be honest.

I would imagine he would say he wants to stay. He can then compare offer A with B and C and choose. He’s not daft enough to say he wants out - why would he.

Maybe, it’s all about opinions.

So it’s down to his analysts then? Not that wherever he’s been he’s had the licence to hoover up talent without having to consider affordability?

Maybe we tried? He may have been aware of the interest from other clubs. You just never know. One thing I do know - we ought to get the name of Barnsley’s head scout!

In your opinion. The game is now analysed in minute detail which means pundits etc have to find things to say. These myths creep in. But 99% of it is just what you might call good play. Pass, find space, receive and repeat. Two of the most successful sides ever had systems simply built on that...

Of course you have to have a system. My point is it’s out of control. Pivots, false nines, presses etc etc. It’s just good, intelligent technical play dressed up in endless nonsense.
