Madsen - hope he does go to QPR. We need a holding midfielder. Worrall - never been that keen. We’ll get someone in, quite relieved it’s neither of these
Don’t agree with that. Thomas is what he is already. I think Kitching will progress. Equally though I don’t see Worrall as a big improvement on Thomas.
Remember it well. Scored on his debut and it was obvious he’d go on to huge things. Tried to replace him with Bellamy which was pretty much the beginning of the decline in the prem years.
To improve our CB stock we’re going to have to spend 5-6m. If we have that I’d rather spend it on RB. We have 4 CB’s all capable of starting. Do we really need 5?
A lot of the negative stuff is during the game and it’s reactive frustration. That’s just fans of most sports. I think it’s a given that anyone out there is trying and so should be backed but discussing performances is equally a huge aspect and valid part of being a fan
Watching the first couple of games it’s clear how much we missed Saka at the end of last year. Also, you have to say congrats to the scouting/recruitment unit at the time we signed Wright, Simms, Sakamoto and Van Ewijk. All summer 23 additions.
His pace gets him out of bother when his positional sense defensively is off. But he’s such an athlete he’s just everywhere. Throw into the mix his relationship with Saka and our right side is phenomenal.
Wright was fantastic against Oxford. After a slow start he was just as good last year. He is, along with Ewijk and Sheaf a player who would be the first name on every championship teamsheet
If we’d have drawn 2-2 I’d still have been happy with that. Attacking wise we were brilliant to watch and that was a step up on the Yok and Hamer days. Oxford got 2 weird goals. We got two excellent and 1 well taken ones. I have a feeling that may be how this season goes. You score 3, we’ll score 4.
