No. If EMC takes his L1 form into the Championship, he’s starting ahead of Sakamoto. Wright and Simms scored 19 goals apiece last season, they’re both nailed on starters. I agree that Sakamoto is class, the other players mentioned are also class, classier.

We’ll see. EMC played RW and LW an equal amount before he went to P’boro. MR will have a plan how to get everyone involved. My personal opinion is that Sakamoto will make a great impact sub. A player with his trickery, pace and energy levels will be nightmarish for tiring defences.

If we got to the Prem, that’ll probably be plan. You’re not subbing either Simms or Wright who scored 19 apiece in their first Championship season nor a winger in EMC who got double figure goals and assists. Sakamoto hasn’t shown that kind of form to date. Robins and his staff will figure it...

We definitely still need 3 players minimum. We’ve looked good v Everton, from what I’ve seen but we’re probably further a long our prep which may explain just how dominant we’ve been.

It’ll be Sakamoto… He’s not a better player than either of Wright, Simms or EMC. I’m not hating on Sakamoto, like most people on here, he’s a cult hero to me too.

Predication: Wright to play ‘RW’ and he’ll operate inside as a second striker in attack.

What channel is this on? I’m trying to find it myself!

The some people have been talking about Andrews and Obikwu being good enough to cover, it’s not much more of a stretch to call on Sky Blue Sam.

Exchange rate wouldn’t impact them per se as the release clause is sent in stone at €100m. Prem teams did want him. How we ended up with Simms was partly down to the negotiations for Vik. It was Vik and his camp chose Sporting as their preferred destination. He’s got better exposure in a...

Why is a family zone next to the away end - it’s just stupid.

Its bollocks. Families get to choose whether or not they sit there as there’s no price incentive meanwhile you box out another group of fans.

There’s a family area in the away end for Stoke?!

I’ll be going to Bristol away in the cup - it’s actually closer for me to drive there from my office than the CBS. I look after multiple sites so managed to arrange a day at a site in Wales on the day of the game. About an hour drive away! I will plan to visit the North West precisely on the...

Similar story - 1080. I really regret not getting a ST in 22/23 as its royally messed my points up!

Every player we bring in needs to be a starter or someone the club believes will develop into one. Unless we have league leading player in a given position, we’ll need to upgrade this position at some point. Our stated aims is to build a team capable of promotion and to then stay up. We’re...

I’m just sharing on what I was told, none of this is my own opinion. If he’s got had a 4 year contracted terminated just one year in with a short paragraph when he did leave after 7+ years at the club… Points towards him effectively being sacked. Then ask yourself why that might be?

It really depends on how MR views Lati as a CB of RB. We’ve been linked with Worrall as well as Camara. If it’s impossible to get Worrall/similar player, we’ll stick with Lati-Thomas-Binks-Kitching as CBs for the season and sign a RB as you say. I do think that Lati playing RB changes the...

If we want another CB, you’ve got to think it’ll mean Lati will be deputising MVE at RB. Unless MR has changed his mind and fancied Lati as a CB, then I’d agree a RB is required. Considering we’ve supposedly looked at Camara, McCallum and Burrows, it’s not out of the question we’d sign both a LB...

Losing to Darmstadt 2-0 in a preseason friendly surely ranks as one of our darkest hours as a club?

It makes sense, Wright was taken off after one bang against Getafe. You’d imagine if it was the league campaign he’d miss maybe one game.
