    Bidwell

    I could see the logic in signing Walker. No complaints there. I can see the thought behind signing Reese Allasani, Bouwe Bosma, Dexter Walters etc. a couple of years back, even that These type of punts sometimes work out, like it did with Sam Mc. Waghorn and Bidwell are just Beavon and Junior...

    Bidwell

    The only concern for me is when the “model” (Brentford Model for the sake of argument) isn’t followed. - Young players we can develop and potentially sell on to reinvest / improve - avoid over 28’s where their contract will expire past 30 (unless GK) or a savvy midfield General / skipper...

    Dear Boris

    I agree. I shy away from politics on here - there’s no point. I can say that there are decent left wing folk and then there are hard left twunts. Similarly there are far right morons. Sensible, slightly centre right folks tend to get hammered by lefty keyboard twirlers who often use multiple...

    We are missing a Kelly / Doyle / M James type general in the middle. Someone to rally the team and get into the refs ear when Calum is clobbered. Sheaf not strong enough. Hamer too petulant.

    Summer recruitment

    We have to balance expectations and reality. We aren’t going to get millions from SISU to sign loads of players. One thing I’d be doing right now is having a thorough look at all of the Chelsea youth / fringe players who may be available. Many of the 20/21/22 year olds will have known Ady...

    You’re a wrong’un if you think making someone go running around on a football pitch if they’re a sick as Fred West is ok. I wondered why Waghorn was running around and pointing at the pitch a lot. “Bit or carrot there. Peanut in that but, watch yourselves lads” Poor f*cker.

    Summer recruitment

    What’s needed? Someone to put a block filter on Boddy’s email. No YouTube videos of European wide players. (Hilssner, Jobello, Kasta, DaCosta etc).

    Huge leap that. Ifs and conjecture. Just strange that we played an out of form, slow, striker with shit dribbling into his shin pads or vomit in his grundies rather than some keen 21 year old, against a defender slower than Joe Biden. That’s all.

    Just odd imo. Waghorn “sick last night and again in dressing room.” Now he’s either vomited or shat his pants. I’m going to suggest that he’s not at his best. Tavares - raring to go and needs minutes at this level. Nothing to lose. Waghorn? Why?

    Waghorn better than goalscoring Gus? It’s a view I guess.

    I know I keep going on but loyal old Cyrus Christie seemed determined that we get something out of the game today. Tavares would have had Him on toast cutting in from his side. “I know”, says Robins. “Let’s put a nippy trickster on who has a spring in his step from scoring recently...

    Moore 5 Beaten 3 times, and again when there was a late offside call and again when an offside striker hit the post and Moore punched it in his own net. Bad day at the office. Kane 8 Did well and was our best attacking threat. On another day 2/3 assists. Looked sharper than of late. Rose 6...

    Things that I don’t understand: Why no subs earlier than 63 mins? Why no Tavares? Why only 1 striker over 5 foot 10 in squad? He’s great but FFS the above is obvious to anyone with an IQ higher than a ribbon.

    Waghorn

    Awful miss with header. Jogged around and pointed a lot. No pace pressing. Even got his legs in a tangle for the Hamer goal (recovered to pass, I know). Bobbins.

    Waghorn? Why? Game is lost. Ideal time for Tavares to get game time.

    Gyok is isolated up there in his own. Fadz off. Bidwell off. Maatsen to Lb. Flat back 4. Tavares on. Godden on. Allen drop back a bit. Go some kind of 4-3-3 / 4-1-2-2-1
