Exactly my point. If we got promoted this season we need to invest in a lot of players. With COH too, it’s a goal scoring patch that’s he’s never had before so for all people know, it could just be that. A purple patch. No one was really willing to spend substantial sums on Gyokeres after his...

His form has been scintillating with some superb dribbling moves and finishing to follow. One thing to bear in mind when comparing Hamer is that he was making that impact further back. I’m nit picking here but COH does need to add some more assists to his game and I’d like to see his chance...

It’s debatable, I’ll give you that. Neither of us know he’ll do well until he plays in the Prem. As a barometer, do you think COH would start for Leicester, Leeds or Southampton?

Which part Wingy? 😂

Exactly, so we have to put them to the sword. I only mention resting tired players because this will be a high energy game.

The point of testing free agency is to secure a long term contract and maximise your salary at the highest level possible. He’s just not going to sign a one year extension on his own accord as a 25/26 year old hitting his best form. That just isn’t sensible, what if he loses form or does his...

I’m not worried about Maidstone at all and I felt the same way about the replay against Sheffield Wednesday too. That said, Maidstone have earned the right to play us and it’s a massive game for them. By taking the game seriously and showing them respect by putting out a strong side (not...

If Dabo scored his penalty kick and we go on to win the penalty shootout against Luton?

I don’t really believe in the top nations having to qualify for the major tournaments - with the Euros to be expanded again, it’s even more redundant. Personally, there’s unfulfilled potential with the UEFA Nations League. At the minute it’s just ‘another’ tournament. I’m thinking out loud...

Tavares just isn’t going to start and he won’t be training with us next year. He is the definition of a backup player. He was unlucky with his achilles injury when we were going to give him game time but we’ve moved up 1-2 levels from then.

Without wanting to start another debate, the international break would have more meaning to it if the fixture list wasn’t filled with pointless ties like the Malta, Andorra, and San Marino’s of the world. Let the ‘lesser’ nations pre-qualify for qualification. Reduce the calendar of the higher...

Hubris. We’ve got the extra day off so you’d expect we’ll play a strong team to blow Maidstone away. MVE and Sakamoto look like they need a rest. Starting with Millwall on Sunday, there’s 3 games in 7 days so there may be more to add to that.

We can’t take it for granted. If there are players that are tired, perhaps they can be rotated. I wouldn’t be against Kelly, Lati, Palmer, Simms starting the game. The best approach is to blow them away in the first half and sub players off as we did against Wednesday.

Tavares wouldn’t have been brought if the game was closer. He had some nice dribbles but the rest of his game was noticeably below our standard. I’m sure he could do well in L2 or L1 at a push.

Looks like we’re going to pick apart Peterborough’s squad in the same way we did Barnsley this preseason. They have a lot of promising young players so I’m all for it!

My brother got to the stadium at 19:20-25 and still missed KO - he said there was a 15m period where queue seemingly did not move at all. I parked up at Christ the King at 19:40, walked to the turnstile and nearly got in before him. Middlesborough in the playoffs and Oxford Utd in the cup were...

He needs to add some assists to his game too now. There are times where I feel he can be a bit selfish or can take too long making a pass. At 1-1, there was a great opportunity to put Saka through on goal but the pass attempted was to Wright with 2 defenders around him. This is nit picky from...

With Simms and Wright, there’s undoubtedly an element of price. Tonight, every time they didn’t do something perfect it was ‘we spent 7 million on him’ or ‘he’s on 30k a week’. Someone was saying Hadji Wright was shit after he’d scored… It’s hilarious. He became our top scorer tonight and...

Block 20 by any chance? There some right dingles near me. Including a man who was shoving past people on the stairs at the end of the game and very clearly coked up on a Tuesday night - how sad.

We played really well today! Hats off to COH for his finishing, Hadji Wright got a nice strikers goal! What a difference it makes when we get good wuality I really felt for Simms when he missed. He knew he messed it up and some of the supporters around me reacted in the usual hyperbolic way...
