2 more goals than Josh Sargent… How much did he cost again? In the next 1-2 seasons people will look back at their criticisms of Simms and cringe.

Is there any news on restocking if the FA Cup and Pony retro replica remakes? I’m after both home jerseys.

Like who? Eccles did well against Mavididi, but so did MVE. Eccles isn’t a WB and isn’t better there than MVE. When he’s on form, MVE is our best player. He’s looked a little bit tired in recent weeks because, like Sakamoto, they played nearly every minute of our run in December/Jan. MR needs...

Agreed on the driving. I’m pretty lucky that when I travel up from Maidenhead I can sleep over my mums. The 2 hour commute to work the next day can be really difficult at times - Tuesday and Wednesdays are my compulsory office days. That all said, I’ll still renew.

Agreed, our squad depth is ‘net’ 3 players down from last season. Our overall quality, imo, is better but we still have a busy summer ahead.

I like Eccles but he’s still developing and will improve. In my view, he’s a solid player but isn’t going to pull us through games in the way Hamer and Sheaf have done at this moment in time. Even so, saying we need to improve the midfield isn’t saying our existing players aren’t good. Hamer...

I’m not slating Eccles specifically, we were poor against PNE and WBA and in my view, we struggled at LB/WB and in midfield. You say it’s tedious, but I challenge you to answer this one question: Do you believe we can win promotion to the Premiership with Sheaf, Eccles, Torp, Kelly and Allen...

How can you nitpick his technique? This is armchair football coach stuff. His penalty record speaks for himself here and in Turkey.

We don’t need to play two holding midfielders. With Torp specifically, he started really brightly, but has tailed off a bit. There’s always an adaptation period moving into the intensity of the EFL and having just finished the Norwegian league prior to joining. Sheaf being injured has forced...

I don’t disagree that Torp was anonymous in those games… but did Eccles do much better? Midfield needs to be beefed up whether or not Sheaf goes. 1-3 signings at least to replace Kelly, Allen and potentially Sheaf.

Avoid legal action if it cost them automatic promotion in all likelihood. The deferred punishment seems like the governing body has assumed Leicester’s automatic promotion is a foregone conclusion.

I would actually fancy beating Leicester over two legs.

Upfront working capital. You’d take £350 upfront at the start of the year over that split over 23 different dates. Even if you would earn more over that prolonged period.

I disagree and their 33 goal involvements would too and that’s with them both underperforming their xG ratings. Gyokeres had 44 goal involvements last season, how many do you think is an acceptable return from Wright and Simms? When Gyokeres first season joined he was 3rd or 4th choice with...

Not Simms specifically, the team and I still stand by those comments. Who assisted the goals on Tuesday? Bidwell, Wright and, iirc, MVE assisted Tavares. Against WBA and PNE, two playoff rivals we really struggled to play through midfield in particular against those teams. PNE, it’s fair to say...

We concede a lot more goals this season. The weak point is midfield. We finished 5th on 70 points which is low. This season, it’s probable that Hull, Norwich and ourselves break that 70 point barrier. In my view, we miss Hamer more than we miss Gyokeres. Not because he’s better, Hamer was in...

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t we have more points and in a higher league position this season than at this stage last season? Overall, we have a better team than last season.

Viveash had a great coaching reputation in the Chelsea setup so it was hardly a case of giving his old matey a job.

It might worth you buying tickets in your wife’s name rather than your name where possible. With the season heating up it’ll be a struggle through to the end of the season though. Birmingham, Southampton and Blackburn should be big allocations though.

To avoid confusion, 3-4-1-2 is here to stay until the end of this season. With Sakamoto out injured and EMC on loan at Boro, we have no wingers to execute 4-2-3-1. In the summer we will be strengthening midfield for sure.
