Yes probably and maybe Tavares

I would bring in players who could stake a claim for regular starter - BTA, Latibeudiere, Eccles and Palmer. Though Latibeudiere and Palmer get regular stick on here, both show a fighting spirit - something that was severely lacking on Saturday.

I want us to win whenever we are playing. Back to back defeats is no way to start a season. Hopefully will get one or two strikers up and running. I think BTA may start.

If we want a bit of creative impetus and someone who can take the ball on the half turn, I would play Rudoni in there with Palmer or Mason-Clark as the 10.

Better second half but fizzled out after their goal. Didn't see anyone looking to get the game by the scruff of the neck. No visible leaders out there. Thomas was dreadful and our midfield was poor.

Really disappointing. I was expecting so much more. Can't string a few passes together. Midfield looking so weak. Think we will need the directness of Thomas-Asante soon and bring Eccles on for Allen or Torp.

Oh yes. I hadn't realised it had increased. That's good.

It will be interesting who is left out of the squad, which is a sign of depth. Unless there is any injuries, I would assume the subs will be Collins or Wilson, Latibeudiere, Da Silva, one of Torp, Eccles or Allen, Palmer, EMC or Wright and Asante-Thomas. That would mean Tavares would not be...

Thought Preston looked very poor and Sheff Utd quite decent. O'Hare showed he is a decent Championship standard player. Hamer showed he is a level above.

From his interviews, he looks a top character. A striker who is quick with the ball at his feet. I think he is going to be a great asset.

I think we will have some of the best players in the championship in their given position. Dovin being one of them.

I don't think you could expect too many masters at Championship level, but Jack of all trades are pretty handy. Don't think he put a foot wrong today.

After the first 15 minutes, I thought we were the better team and certainly didn't deserve to lose. Some very good performances. That finish from Rudoni was a bit special. Van Erwijk has great pace but we looked more open when Latibeudiere went off. If we can avoid major injuries I think we...

Van Erwijk was way out of position. Has been watching Kyle Walker videos?

This has to be the most exciting group of players we have had in decades.

Agree he isn't a winger. I think 10 is his most suited position, so he would be Rudoni's back up.

For me Latibeudiere is good enough to cover right back. He has been solid there so far. Palmer as usual is hit and miss but he is unconventional and so frustration comes with brilliance. He has linked well with Rudoni, including for his goal.

Having Sakamoto back is like having another top signing.
