    agree with most of this but I’m not sure you can say we have ‘much greater depth’ this year, we own more players and our defence is pretty well stacked, but we have next to no cover on the right, very light in midfield, and if you were super critical we are also lacking up front I think that...

    it’s disrespectful mate, and if it turns out to be bullshit now not only will you look like more of a twat than you already did with your transfer window nonsense but trying to score some kind of points by making up a horrible rumour like that will also ensure legendary bell end status even if...

    yes I guessed, and also not necessarily, but in any event I think we are in agreement the standard of officiating in our league has been variable at best….

    we had this problem against Watford here early on in the season in the crazy game - and at the time, MR said we need to learn how to play against a strong high press… That was 3rd (?) home game of the season way back in September. have we learned anything? 🤔

    Is it just our luck that Torp will now get injured - was there any point bringing him on with 15 left? Wouldn’t be so bad if we weren’t already drastically lacking in depth…..

    No essentially I’m pointing out Lati isn’t a midfielder, and is limited in that position, and if you’re playing someone alongside him they need to understand and compensate tonight Eccles hasn’t done that - he’s been out of position and his passing has been very poor There’s no blame, it’s...

    well the answer is because Kelly is not up to the standard required Lati is a defensive midfielder, at best, he won’t do any fancy midfield work but he will (and does) sit and break play up, the problem is he needs a decent midfielder along side him and unfortunately Eccles isn’t it -...

    The one plus point, I think Simms and Wright are looking good, possibly one of their best halves playing together - other than scoring of course…

    Josh Eccles is poor - why is he persisting on set pieces, and why can’t he read the game? I can’t see at the minute us scoring three goals, we are pressing but I don’t see the final ball / cutting edge in the forwards - it’s looking a bit more like we were against Cardiff / Rotherham etc at the...

    very narrow in defence, two full backs tucking in giving them space wide also, Wright’s touch is better but sometimes he could let it go quicker, one touch rather than hold it

    Plymouth (A) - W Stoke (A) - W Preston (H) - W West Brom (A) - D Rotherham (H) - W 12 or 13 points, as the only shaky fixture is West Brom away, should beat the rest really if we’re serious about this year’s play off push…

    Eccles didn’t play in midfield with Latibeaudiere, he went off for Thomas when Lats moved into arguably his better position (today at least)
