Jodi Jones is being overlooked here. He’s perfectly capable of playing off Gyok.

Left field post: Was there more to the BCD fixture against Solihull B than the fact they were local and we wanted to get some minutes into the fringe players? Did Mark & Ady want to look at one of their players? The only player is thr 6’10” 21 y.o. that was being scouted by Celtic, Man City...

Pay better attention. Wasn’t suggesting that he convert, just asked if he used to be a central defender at any stage. He came through the ranks from very young at Forest, where his dad was one of the best defenders in England for many years. Maybe, just maybe, the boy Walker idolised his dad...

Anybody know if he has ever played as a defender? He’s very much like his dad in the way he moves and so on - so I’m just curious if he’s ever played back line?

They was a smattering of satire in the post but I am absolutely delighted to be proven a pudding. Had Gyok been on from the start and Moore in goal it’d have been 10-0 though. 😉

That line up is plain weird. Just asking to be caught on a counter. We have absolutely no height or heading ability other than our central defenders. None. A corner in our favour is actually a risk, Shipley can’t track back, our CD’s will be in the box because Hamer, Allen, O’Hare, Godden are...

Makes the Rocky Bushiri point I made a little more relative

Thought he would have been a good squad player. Can’t see Hibs paying him a wage out of our budget. With Osti a no-no now can’t help but think that Rocky, having had a bit of time with us and knowing our set up, might have been a good option. Might have offered cover allowing us to loan out...

I think Dabo is a great player with great technical pedigree coming through the ranks of Chelsea. Kane became available and for whatever reason we were able to sign him for a lot less than his probable value. RWB is one position that we have depth and Kane is in form and deserves to keep his...

F’em. Points deduct every team who doesn’t win FA Cup as though they’ve gone into admin. -100 points or whatever propels the FA Cup winners to 4th League Cup winners can have UEFA cup (or whatever it is now) spot. We invented the game, not those sharks at FIFA andUEFA. (Satire - sort of)

Still don’t like the fact that the FA Cup has been so devalued. If it could become a direct gateway to the Champions League then that’d revitalise the whole thing. Something along the lines of: 4th place PL plays FA Cup winner (if not in 1st-4th in PL) at Wembley for the Charity Shield and...

100% agree. Pace and power in the team adds so many more dimensions. Eg. Opponents have a corner. They decide who to push forward. Big central defenders with aerial threat - do they go forward? If we have, say, Godden standing on the centre circle, do they keep 1 or 2 back? 1 back means 1 more...

I’m not so sure. Not as though we’ve had to play Dabo at CB this season oh, hang on…..

Neither. 1 year ago Kelly was miles better. Sheaf (wait for it) is getting better and better as he plays more - as he should do being relatively young. I have no doubt that at the end of the season Sheaf’s progress will have meant that he will have surpassed Kelly as the latter declines with...

Not sure I agree. Match day costs are reasonably fixed. Extra stewards and police costs aside with increased attendance, any sales over the projected / budgeted amount should amount to surplus. I don’t know if sponsors / advertising is linked to attendance but I’m sure I read somewhere that it...

O’Hare wins free kicks. He fluffs his lines in front of goal. I’m pretty sure we all agree on that. We need to practice free kicks as a priority. We need to have some height and strength to take advantage of the (I’m guessing -stat guys - help me out) 5? extra free kicks he wins per game than...

I’d have him back in an instant. He adds strength at the back and a threat up front for set pieces. Plus, he’s an asset with potential sell on if we get him in permanently. Perhaps offer a deal where we pay his wages and have a contract with a decent sell on for them. As for us having no...

My take on the game: (belated, had a weekend on the stagger so not had 5 to ramble): Dabo: Not a centre back and then forgets where he’s meant to play, leading to the rest of the defence being out of shape and the midfield having to drop back. Let me give you an example: Throw in, 10 yards...

Had some corp tickets today. Different view of the match. Not in gear.

Dabo ball watching first goal. He’s not a CB. Second goal a cheat. looking a bit lightweight.
