Good news that there is at least dialogue after the previous fallout from the summer. Hopefully, a return to Coventry is engineered because we won't be competitive in the Championship past season without returning home.

Genuinely shocked 37 people actually would want him back in any capacity.

If we are allowed back in stadiums, I’ll upgrade from the membership to the ST and go to games. But, with it being October and the start of flu season, the infections are apparently on the up too... the government probably won’t entertain this.

Most of us aren’t lucky enough to have our favourite hobby as a full time profession. Even still, not everyone is driven solely by money - it’s a shallow existence. Footballers need to extract the most they can from a short career. We all agree on this as a fact of an athletes life in all...

Too many red flags. We’d have to be desperate and stupid to go back and even make an offer.

Stay 100% clear from Bright. Enjoyed his stay when he was here. There’s a reason he didn’t feature for Wigan at all and he was released from his contract after 3 months. From the reports we’ve had, he’s completely unprofessional and that could spread around the squad and disrupt the team...

Wilson and Maddison. If I could have a third I’d go for Dann to shore up the defence.

Get Doyle in as a coach!

Barnsley’s home record since the return from lockdown has generally been quite good and they turned over good teams last season. A draw is a good result and we could’ve won. Beat QPR, and really should’ve got a point from Bristol. We’ve had a decent start to the season. Ultimately, if you keep...

We haven’t been ‘spectacularly found out’ in the last few games. Bournemouth are literally a class above us. We’ve just come up from League 1 and we’ve put together a team for about £2m. We’re going to get battered by a few teams who have established Championship/Premiership teams. This is the...

We don’t really have the players to play anything but 5 defenders. We don’t have any fit wide players. Eventually, we’ll end up playing Walker and Gooden upfront. Unless, we switch to 3-4-3 with a combination of Giles/O’Hare/Jobello/Hilßner as wide players. It’s early in the season, too many...

Damage limitation given the situation. Probably helped to get McCallum on to reduce the wages we'd pay in a game we were 2 goals down and down to 10 men - the game was lost.

Shows how Liverpool are winning the transfer market. Bring Thiago in for £20m, and sell Brewster for £23.5m. The transfer market is a seller's market so teams have to pay the asking price to get their targets.

We need options, and my view is that if the 3-4-2-1 shape is to survive in its current form, an AM needs to score more goals (be it Hilssner, Jobello, Allen or Shipley, or Tyler Walker needs to leads the line. I don't think Gooden should be dropped (at all) to accommodate one of those AMs so...

Agreed. This is partly why I think we’ll go to 2 strikers soon. With Allen, COH and Gooden, there isn’t an option to go direct, no pace to get behind the line and not enough physicality to beat defenders. Assuming no signings are coming in, unless Jobello can play in that AM/wing role, we’ll...

If we’re going to get a loan, I agree that position is where I’d prioritise. We need goals from either an AM or a striker and a change in formation. That’s where I see us going from here. In attack, Allen did look largely ineffectual even before the sending off, but for 29 minutes we were also...

You’re right in saying that Jobello is an outright winger. However, I don’t see why we couldn’t accommodate that in the current setup. Allen and O’Hare often get the ball in wide channels. As long as Jobello can keep possession, press hard, he could provide a useful outlet on that wing/AM...

In fairness, injuries to JJ and Hilßner probably haven’t helped things. Jobello will hopefully offer something more direct going forward. Going forward, I do believe that MR will switch to two strikers. The two AM options, at this point, probably won’t provide enough goals. Also, we need to...

Kelly will return to the starting lineup when 100%. Sheaf is a good player, but needs to work on moving the ball a bit quicker, in less touches. None of the midfield made their passes, Hamer, Sheaf, Shipley or even COH. We were against a superior team.

He was our best player tonight and the difference between a 3-1 defeat and a 5-1 defeat.
