Been thinking about this today. If we go with a midfield of Sheaf/Hamer/Eccles again then I’d play BNC and JWE at wing back and tell them to get as high as possible. Needs to be an outlet which isn’t ‘lump it to Vik’ whilst we’re playing 2 up top.

Think we need GK, LWB, RWB, 3xCB, CM, AM, 2xST. 7 signings and 3 loans probably. Allen can cover CM as well.

I’m trying to take you seriously this time. Apart from the showbiz thread - that can fuck off.

Who did we sell? I recall Bayliss, was there any other major sales?

How many of our L1 winning side played for us the previous season? Edit: and I know the Championship is a different beast financially, just musing.

Is it? Plenty of examples I’m thinking of. Craig Dawson, Ben Mee, Adam Webster, Jack Stephens. That kind of ilk.

Watched the Chelsea v Villa game last night. Really don’t see it with that Mudryk. Bet you could have got the Georgian fella from Napoli for the same money (Kvaratshelia?).

Correct. Fair to say I lost it. If I’m not mistaken, that was just before his “calm down” gesture to the fans (not directed at me as I was in the opposite corner!).

It’s a strange one. Seem to recall when Clive Woodward was England rugby coach he used to give the players the day off after a defeat to get it out of their system, but if they won then they were in for training. The logic being it’s easier to work in a positive environment.

Don’t think so, too many obvious flaws. Not to say he’s no good, think he’ll go on to have a solid PL career. But England? No.

Showed for the ball? Blimey. Bloke didn’t move for large parts of our attacking play. In that system you *need* the wing back to make the run outside.

23,625 I think.

Irritated me yesterday. We know he’s playing on his weaker side so get at him round the outside. Dabo made it a cakewalk.

Well, you’ve lost it.

Think a big part of it is who else he trusts on the ball. Been a few occasions recently where he won’t pass to Dabo/BNC/JWE/Howley because he thinks he’ll do better.

Thought I’d share these ratings as they made me giggle: Some of the pass completion stats are startling: McNally 55% Bidwell 60% Godden 47%

Don't know if it’s recency bias, but I feel like we’re quite often exposed to the counter from our attacking set pieces.

Got a video clip of it but unsure how to post. Any ideas?

Just watched it back. It’s a heavy touch in the attacking third. Bit of a stretch. Meanwhile, left 3 on 3 and Dabo makes the most token gesture of tracking back.

People who piss on the toilet seat. Fucking tramps.
