85 passes, second highest in the squad. Second highest progression distance. Flip side is forth lowest completion percentage at 78%

Not sure in all honesty. As you can see Grimes had the highest progressive distance by quite some margin. 498 to 214. Also attempted way more riskier passes with 24 long range attempted, compared to sheafs 5 and 62 medium passes to sheafs 14. Even if you accommodate for his longer time on the...

But he’s keen 🤣

Would like us to look into Yousef Salech from Cardiff.

I know a team who do that and while it sounds good, it can mean some lads aren’t getting consistent game time for months. I actually think the opposite approach can be more beneficial, where you build a B team of released players to avoid players getting poached. Brentford are a good example of...

Anyone got any ideas on the keeper signing. Not sure if we’d want a loan for half the season or pick up an experienced Goalie on a free like Krul or Gunn?

Think Andrew’s will play a role next season based on how good he’s apparently looked on his loan, the Wales call ups and Lampard comments on him

Sorry man sold on Salech now 🤣

Can’t see Lampard being happy for Rudoni to go. Would have to be a large amount of money imo

Seems a good shout. Good stats for his first half season in a different countr. Wonder how much they’d want tho as apparently spent 3-4 million on him. https://www.fotmob.com/en-GB/players/1183360/yousef-salech

Chelsea had Abraham and I think Everton used Lewin in this way but could be wrong. I think it you watch a lot of our patient play had the target man as Simms. I think it’s just how the role naturally plays. Happy to find someone more technical mind. Ivan Toney seemed a good shout for what...

For context mind, Matt grimes did attempt 141 passes compared to Ben Sheafs 49 attempts.

Only the telegraph who’ve mentioned it. Evidence with vary based on how reliable you think it is.

Wouldn’t mind keeping Simms as he’s in the model of what we’d want and I do think he could come good. Some games he did brilliantly, I know someone at Preston and they were saying how much they struggled to deal with him (why they brought on the CB at half time). Just want consistency and he...

Under Lampard, we have the highest amount of crosses in the league. This is the same as Lampard at Chelsea and at Derby. As a manager, he wants people to go wide, overlap and get balls into the box. Were patient in not just aimlessly throwing crosses in every second, but take time to get people...

Wasn’t aware of the violent history, what did he do?

To be fair it was Chelsea. I don’t think anyone thought he was going to turn that chance down

Also would be big fan of us looking a Lewis O’Brien. Can see us playing more of the 4-3-3 next season where our midfield three almost become vertical. Think O’Brien would do a great job linking the team together although looks like he might be off to La Liga.

I think he would genuinely. Plus being on a free is a big positive imo

I don’t think he’ll go just yet but we are going to have to look at a new deal sooner rather than later especially if he starts next year well. Done a great job and while people will be annoyed brought a spot light under the club which will only help us attract better players and commercial deals.
