Other thing whilst it’s in my mind: a game like last night there’s very little point in defending in a 442 shape. Rudoni should have been playing as a third CM off-the-ball, especially given he didn’t seem to have particular interest in actually pressing and cutting off options. The space they...

Rudoni’s always had a tendency to drift out wide to find space, and fundamentally no issue with him doing that. However, he seems to be doing it so early in moves (like when we’re playing out of defence) that it makes us quite predictable. Need him to stay central earlier in the play and drift...

It was clear we were under instruction not to press the keeper but in my view that was the wrong decision. He’s crap with the ball at his feet and could quite easily have made a mess of things with the amount of times he feinted to play the ball. You don’t want just Wright or just Rudoni...

Touch of the Jack McBeans about him.

Looked like it came off Torp from where I was. And not a slight nick.

How the fuck was that their drop ball?

No Davis for them then. Assuming they’re playing Greaves at LB. Sakamoto will tie him in knots.

Bonkers in a sense that their 2 best players play in the same position so aren’t on the pitch together most of the time.

Right, I enjoy watching the darts generally but I’m on the verge of blowing my brains out listening to the chants from the crowd.

Looks capable on the ball but this bit worries me: It may be down to team playing style but it doesn’t scream ‘work rate’ to me. For comparison, Rudoni (in a higher league):

Slightly more nuanced than that given it was the ‘existing’ lease that was sold to them (under ACL) and they then paid something daft like £1m to extend it from c.40 years to c.250 years which (hypothetically) would have added £20m or so to the value. Now, lease extension costs are generally...

100%. Remember a few who actively took the piss out of me supporting Cov at school because we were shit and “never on the telly” (a bizarre criticism). Saw one post photos of their season tickets on FB the other day. Look, I know we need all the fans we can get, but can we just not have those 3...

Malacia is on my ‘list’ but Man Utd have a 1-year option so wouldn’t be free.

Setting aside the laughing face - the one point of minor interest here is that Harry Wilson is out of contract at the end of the season.

“Hearing word” The bloke that quoted for it literally posted it on Facebook a few days back. Making it sound like a transfer rumour ffs.

Not been as impactful this season but I think it’s partially because he’s trying to overcomplicate his game. Not really seen him appear in the box like he did towards the back-end of last season.

If we’re to go up then I don’t think it’s beyond possibility we pay the £15-20m needed. Traditionally Ligue 1 players translate quite well to PL as well.

Mentioned the name a few times now, but my pick of someone in that profile would be Mamadou Sangare from Lens (although they’re currently top of Ligue 1 so may be a step too far). His first season there since moving from Austria and he’s a ball winning machine who’s also decent enough with the ball.

Just released his own set of children’s books.
