Not saying Kitching is any world beater. But he’s better defensively than Binks

Did you see their second goal. Don’t let him carrying the ball forward twice near the end fool you - defensively he’s awful. Which is a bit of a problem for a defender.

Yes, and his set piece delivery is probably worth 10 goals a season

I’d go 7’s except: Binks : 5. Defensive liability Sheaf : 8 Quality Wright : 8 Real handful Rudoni : 8 Impact.

It was never really a serious debate was it?

Puts to bed the debate about Wright - he’s by far our most talented forward. The difference in the game was that our 3 really good quality players had good games Wright, Sheaf and Rudoni.

Kitching has to start ahead of Binks

We made hard work of that but did deserve it. We’re just far too easy to score against. The game was changed by Rudoni’s overall contribution and play. Thought Wright and Sheaf were excellent. Surely Binks future game time should be limited. Anyway, a win.

Our chances haven’t been clear cut though. Situations and scrambles. It’s the defence that’s the issue. We don’t do absolute basics. Too busy worrying about whether they can pass to each other for 80 minutes rather than the basics of defending.

You don’t get many clean sheets with Binks in. Embarrassing defending

The kit man has been ok though.

Depends what you want from a defender. Binks defensively is not good at all. In fact a left flank of him and Dasilva is a dream come true for the opposition. Kitching is a better defender and can pick the odd good pass. On balance I’d prefer Kitching. Thomas and Kitching for me. Lati has played...

Flat back 4. I have a feeling we turn in a Blackburn type performance and win this one.

Controversial but I don’t think it was that much of a howler. The guy smashes it into the ground. That’s a nightmare for keepers. It’s the same when it’s done with headers. The bigger concern for me was 3-4 times it was clear he wasn’t communicating too well. That will come. The basics are...

Jeez, what a depressing read. Here’s some other info: We’re now an established championship team expected to do well. We’re playing in Coventry. We own more players than we have in the last 15 years. We are paying transfer fees. We haven’t started the season with a points deduction. We’ve sold...

Christ, not O’Hare again. He’s gone. Left. Does not play for us. The endless speculation when he’d obviously already decided to leave was bad enough. And we’re still discussing him. Decent player - not worthy of obsession.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Decline coincides almost exactly with King’s arrival. Irrefutable.

Not the solution. This isn’t perceived as a “this season” issue

To be honest I just think the building blocks need to gel.
