With the exception of Doyle, Hamer and Gyokeres from last seasons cohort, all other players are playing their football in League 1. Or at best, fighting for survival in Championshop - see McNally and Rose. Agree, it’s an incremental process and you can just sign new teams because we’ve built a...

It’s pretty clear that we have had a lot of players in recent years that are punching above their weight with us. Robins and his team get the most out of average individuals. Players I’d put into the category of this is: - Godden - Kelly - Allen - JDS - Wilson There are a couple of others...

I’ve not read the original books (yet) but Dune is such a large book and universe and is too large for one movie. A trilogy with some streamlined story telling seems to be the best way to tell the story - the original author’s son is happy with the outcome! The director set out for 3 movies...

Went to see Dune Part Two this weekend and that, alongside the first instalment was very good!

I agree on the points about Vik and Hamer. However, I do think putting balls in behind defences for Simms and Wright could work. My doubts are whether the team can execute those kind of counter attacking passes - we couldn’t on Friday. COH, Palmer, MVE and Tavares are not wingers - it isn’t...

Frustrating we couldn’t sign him in January but we’ve got a v good player joining us! 👌🏻

At 2-0, I went to the loo after the goal like many and this weird thing happened… … everyone become an expert football manager. ‘Why play 5 at the back?’ ‘Why not play Tavares?’ Tavares is not good enough to be a starter at Championship level. Maybe you could play Palmer, MVE and Wright on...

Where have you found that? Transfermarkt has all his career appearances at RB/RM (which is RWB). https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/milan-van-ewijk/leistungsdaten/spieler/587335

Not happening, we that against PNE / another game and he did not look good there. MVE is not a winger - bar Sakamoto, we literally do not have a recognised winger.

So Burnley? All other quoted interest is from other Championship teams.

If COH plays the rest of the season like last night and the prior few games, he’ll be staying because no Prem team will sign him. Nothing bitter here, it’s just the Premiership is the crème de la crème.

No, obviously not. The fact we don’t have Maguire or Walker as backup options is progress. Gyokeres was the Championship’s best player last season. We weren’t topping that whoever we signed.

I’ll give you the one in the first half. The others you described were just not clear cut at all. What did they create? Not a lot - that’s why COH was hauled off at HT. Palmer played well in the first half, won the penalty but there were 3-4 times he got dispossessed or gave the ball away in...

Not a chance. He’s played CM more or less the whole time. We played more directly with Hamer because he had the quality to launch counter attacks from deep. Every time we tried it last night the passes were mostly intercepted or too strong/weak to our forwards. Hamer was no slacker...

Explains a lot. In the first half we played the box and couldn’t play through WBA at all and all they (WBA) needed to do was to shuffle side to side to nullify us. We could’ve played Haaland upfront and he wouldn’t have done much. The issue with our performances isn’t who’s up front. We just...

Particularly, since Sheaf’s injury…

This game needs to be a win or we probably end up bumbling along until the end of the season.

I have seen/heard it a few times and I’ve read posts thinking Gyokeres first but it just didn’t make sense.

Ah yes, because we have a wealth of wingers to play…

No - Victor Torp was my understanding of the post.
