    Transfer Rumour Josh Wilson-Esbrand

    Can Panzo be sent back? Maybe we are swapping whatever we pay for Panzo to pay for Wilson-‘Edband.

    Lack of aggression in defence ?

    It’s when you need a goalie who runs off his line. Put two defenders on the posts and one to cover the centre / clear off line. If a goalie comes out and runs into a striker, more often then not the decision goes to the keeper. Moore was useless and stuck to his line. We have no idea how to...

    I just asked a question: should Sheaf move up to three Shredded Wheat or is that a corny idea?

    Gyokeres

    Sheaf is the most improved player over the last 12 months. He used to dither and pass backwards rather than forwards and pass when a shot was the best option. Despite that he showed some class which made his f—- ups all the more frustrating; there was clearly a decent player in there. He’s slim...

    I know we all want to prioritise this position or that but surely getting a solid 3rd 4th choice top Prem club keeper on loan for the rest of the season is a must. Chelsea have 8 keepers listed first team on Wiki (several also on loan like Baxter at Hull). Haven’t checked others - just Chelsea...

    Opponents get a throw on the halfway line - steal a few yards, launch towards the box and create havoc. We get one on the halfway line and throw it towards our own keeper. Always. If only we had the best back-to-goal front man in the division to receive launched throws. Oh. Hang on.

    Moore 4 Absolute garbage. Didn’t command his area and was out of position for their second goal. Lack of confidence and ability. Pay him off. Get rid. Dabo 4 A shadow of his former self. Has he got an injury? Personal problems? No good Rose 5 Good in parts but at the heart of a defence that...

    Moore stuck to his line and really quite poor. 2nd goal at fault and 3rd, I’m sorry, just stood and flapped. Useless.

    MA to strengthen the squad? I know it’s a typo but it does bring back memories or when Mickey Adams was given a few quid to sign a striker. Kevin Kyle? (shudders)

    Captain

    Of the squad, fully fit, you’d go Fadz/Kelly. Outside bet for the future is O’Hare for his positive attitude and effort. However, a Captain has to be a mature type who has been around and knows how to talk to Referees as well as rally our troops. So for now, I can’t see past Bidwell. Comes...

    Doug King Takeover

    TBH I’m unsure. It was quickly pointed out to me that it could have also been R.O. and the reasons why. The level of inside knowledge on the playing front, particularly during COVID suggested player, not highly-involved-sponsor. It may be that R.O. had contacts and was passing info on, and...

    I can’t help but think that the reason Waghorn and Kane started yesterday was to put them in some sort of shop window: “Look, these guys are Championship starters. Any clubs want to take them off our hands? How about a loan? Just pay 50% of their wages. Ok, 40%? 30%?….” Sad fact is, can anyone...

    I think Gyok gets into a good position and thinks who can I pass to who can do something? If Hamer isn’t there then…. yep go yourself son. Laid a brilliant ball on for Sheaf though - the “Greedy Gyok” thing I can’t get on board with. If we had some players who could actually hit a shot we...

    Wilson 6 He’s a bit daft. Not a “brainy” player, his distribution and timing of when to release and to whom shows that. The number of times his poor choices put us straight back under pressure is many. Equally, missed opportunities to early release to create a counter. Is a Prem loanee an...
