He did and feel that’s partly because we made an effort to put balls over the defence. With a bit more accuracy it’s a tactic that could work. Wright himself looked more dangerous on the wing which was telling for me.

I don’t think Robins-ball is predictable at all. Millwall set up with 3-4-2-1 and as we know, this is a solid formation defensively. What I will say, is that Wright being quiet today demonstrates how much we’re struggling to engage our strikers. Wright looked better on the wing. In the coming...

Absolutely. Gyokeres scored some ‘ugly’ goals but they all count the same. The keeper probably should have save it, but he didn’t. Going for the near post possibly caught the keeper out.

I didn’t see the incident properly at the game but you could see Lati speak to the ref and Saka intimate that he’d been elbowed. That’s a red card offence and retrospective action is needed.

There was an old man sat behind me on Tuesday saying that Wright and Simms were a waste of money and that we should’ve signed a ‘proven Championship striker’… It properly grated on me. Like who? Gyokeres and Akprom were proven Championship strikers - both playing European football. Who else...

Sounds like the guy sat next to me on Tuesday - some absolute eejits out there.

Whatever preference you had has been downgraded… where’s the phoenix? 👀

So the consensus would be that so far, he’s played his better football at LW or ST? I don’t think MR would agree with that as things stand today. The difference is Tuesday’s goal v Wednesday and he’s played upfront about 3-5 times more than LW. So if we wanted to go into the granular detail...

So if Wright struggled in his favoured position but prospered out wide, what does that tell you about our tactics?

The way players speak to refs sometimes is a blight on the sport. I don’t see blue cards being a problem at all. Don’t speak to the ref like he’s scum and you won’t get punished.

Spot on. Both players have had confidence issues, particularly Simms. If we get them involved in dangerous areas I am convinced we have two players who will smash it in this league.

Thomas comes back in for sure and if possible, I’d look to rest MVE (and Saka) at some point.

Yes, you are right! That was an oversight on my part!

The players who played well on Tuesday deserve the starting berth. Bidwell needs a rest imo so makes sense to start JDS after a good performance on Tues. Collins MVE Thomas Binks - edited as Kitching is banned JDS Eccles Torp Sakamoto COH Palmer Wright

£4m for a top end L1 player has being the going rate for a while. Peterborough sold Connor Washington for c. £4m years ago. Even we sold Wilson, McCallum and Maddison for in and around £3m.

There’s only 3 first team regulars there and I doubt that Godden will stay beyond this season. He will want to play regular first team football at this stage of his career.

He’s played on the wing 31 times out of 37 games this season. It seems a few have latched into an interview where he says he wants to be the complete forward and play wherever the manager wants him to. Something to that effect. Demonstrates a great attitude but looking at the way he plays, he...

Calling Palmer a ‘nearly man’ isn’t the insult you seem to think it is. He is getting into good positions but with the final ball has been lacking at times. At least compared to his competition. There have been a few games, where I felt Palmer was more involved than COH. The best example to my...

With respect, how much football do you watch outside the Prem and CCFC? I hadn’t heard of him and that’s because my answer to the above question is no. I did recognise the highlights from the Barnet v Sheffield U years ago when he won a penalty against them.

I enjoy watching Palmer play and hoping he really kicks on. But, his output in terms of goal involvements hasn’t been where it needs to be to warrant a starting berth for most of this season. Taking Norwich as an example, he missed that clear cut chance and there were a few times he’d evade 2-3...
