So we just give up on these players? The ethos of this club is to develop players and I’m confident we’ll get with Wright and Simms. Players like Chaplin/JCH were arguably let go too early and ended up progressing nicely. Simms just hasn’t become a bad player overnight. Watching his...

EMC was signed as a winger, not as a 10.

It’s one game, let’s see if we can keep that up. Same attacking unit against Millwall on Sunday imo. One thing I did note is that with Wright up front, we were more willing to play the ball behind Wednesday’s defensive line. The cross for his goal was a peach and there’s not been too much of...

The podcast is good too. The start of it goes into detail around the deal too. It does seem like we’ve negotiated a decent deal for the player. I’m hoping that ‘option’ is written down on paper somewhere!

You can still keep the paper tickets, but for a lot of events now there’s a button to add the ticket to android/apple wallet. In my experience, it’s very handy and easy to send people their tickets via iMessage/WhatsApp. Therefore, it’s clear that the issues are structural because it doesn’t...

Tuesday and Wednesday are my office days (mandatory) and the drive is just shy of 2 hours so I can’t really get to to stadium before 19:30. Against Wednesday I parked up at 19:40. In any case, I’ve been to events at most of the major stadiums in England and I’ve not had the same issues getting...

Exactly my point. If we got promoted this season we need to invest in a lot of players. With COH too, it’s a goal scoring patch that’s he’s never had before so for all people know, it could just be that. A purple patch. No one was really willing to spend substantial sums on Gyokeres after his...

His form has been scintillating with some superb dribbling moves and finishing to follow. One thing to bear in mind when comparing Hamer is that he was making that impact further back. I’m nit picking here but COH does need to add some more assists to his game and I’d like to see his chance...

It’s debatable, I’ll give you that. Neither of us know he’ll do well until he plays in the Prem. As a barometer, do you think COH would start for Leicester, Leeds or Southampton?

Which part Wingy? 😂

Exactly, so we have to put them to the sword. I only mention resting tired players because this will be a high energy game.

The point of testing free agency is to secure a long term contract and maximise your salary at the highest level possible. He’s just not going to sign a one year extension on his own accord as a 25/26 year old hitting his best form. That just isn’t sensible, what if he loses form or does his...

I’m not worried about Maidstone at all and I felt the same way about the replay against Sheffield Wednesday too. That said, Maidstone have earned the right to play us and it’s a massive game for them. By taking the game seriously and showing them respect by putting out a strong side (not...

If Dabo scored his penalty kick and we go on to win the penalty shootout against Luton?

I don’t really believe in the top nations having to qualify for the major tournaments - with the Euros to be expanded again, it’s even more redundant. Personally, there’s unfulfilled potential with the UEFA Nations League. At the minute it’s just ‘another’ tournament. I’m thinking out loud...

Tavares just isn’t going to start and he won’t be training with us next year. He is the definition of a backup player. He was unlucky with his achilles injury when we were going to give him game time but we’ve moved up 1-2 levels from then.

Without wanting to start another debate, the international break would have more meaning to it if the fixture list wasn’t filled with pointless ties like the Malta, Andorra, and San Marino’s of the world. Let the ‘lesser’ nations pre-qualify for qualification. Reduce the calendar of the higher...

Hubris. We’ve got the extra day off so you’d expect we’ll play a strong team to blow Maidstone away. MVE and Sakamoto look like they need a rest. Starting with Millwall on Sunday, there’s 3 games in 7 days so there may be more to add to that.

We can’t take it for granted. If there are players that are tired, perhaps they can be rotated. I wouldn’t be against Kelly, Lati, Palmer, Simms starting the game. The best approach is to blow them away in the first half and sub players off as we did against Wednesday.
