Well you should stop, collaborate and listen to Doug.

Yep, nothing gets you votes in a sane place like being arrested! And with a ton of video evidence of you actually doing what it was you were arrested for. I can just see Starmer having his mugshot taken in the run up to the next election to boost his chances.

I guess we'll see won't we. He started talking about having a third term almost immediately after the last election. That will only intensify over the next couple of years. Unless he dies or is rendered completely incapable, I fully expect to see his name on the ballot at the next election.

Well, no, because that support is very much conditional. Being a continuation candidate is kind of the point of a political party if you're following a set of policies and ideologies you believe in - it's nothing like a personality cult. If they did even 10% of what Trump has done almost...

And? Simms was scoring and impacting games, Wright wasn't, nor looking like contributing much. Ask yourself if the roles were reversed and Wright was in a rich scoring vein while Simms wasn't and looking a bit disinterested, what would your opinion be if Wright had been dropped for Simms? Even...

Yes, but it doesn't help when you drop the one shining for the one disappointing.

Would be much easier if they just had retractable power ballads they could raise up and down at a moments notice but they've not been popular since the 80's.

Back to the usual formation now players have been rested. Plus we could choose to give most of these players two weeks without a game if we play a weakened side in the Cup. Saka can be a bit hit and miss away from home, but hopefully he'll have a good game. If Simms doesn't start ahead of...

Disagree about Rudoni not being the issue. I think he is the major source of it. Not just last night but since he's come back in the free flowing attacking football has gone. Rudoni doesn't move forward with the ball like BTA to put the defence under pressure. But when he does receive the ball...

Seems more of a project than a starter, and with his failed transfer during the summer and the noises about his transfer to us, I'm just a bit cold on the prospect of him joining us.

LB is an issue with JD out. Brau showed he isn't ready. Bidwell might be a slightly better option in terms of positioning etc. but he's regressing and far from ideal. Could try KKH on the left and see how it goes? Though ideally he'd be in for mvE so he could have a rest after illness. Midfield...

While I agree to some extent, I can't help but feel that had Simms started and put in that performance FL would have been dragging him off after an hour. His treatment of our two main strikers is clear to see he has a favourite who he'll play regardless of form or effort.

I think that was the one where the ball hit the ref, so he had to give them possession from a drop ball.

I think it was more to do with the performance team looking at the squad, illness and four games in the space of a week and concluding we just couldn't sustain a press for the whole game and the effort then impacting future performances. I certainly feel it would have been more effective to try...

If you'd put George or Ferguson coming in, I'd have taken it with a very large pinch of salt but thought there was an outside possibility. George AND Ferguson - not a chance!

We've seen before players come in and can take a long while to settle in. Especially if coming from abroad and having to learn all this in a second language. Brau does look like he has a lot to learn to get up to the standard required, but I'll give him more time to do that. I'd say he looks...

Slow Mo.

I think he'd be a good purchase not just because he's an AM, but he's a different type of AM to what we've already got. Seems more like a CoH type that gets the ball and runs with it.

Knowing our luck it's a totally different illness and we'll end up having a second wave of illness.
