Both teams are pressing each other well. Allen and O’Hare defending well for us from the front. Hamer and Sheaf have got a few tackles and interceptions too. Their number 4 has done well too.

Agreed. He’s a had few nice interceptions and tackles, just needs to concentrate and ship the ball on quicker against teams that press hard like Barnsley.

No cog for me this week. Looks like I’ll stick with the ‘gravy drinkers’ this week.

Hamer just bombing in dangerous corners every single game. Fancying another goal from a corner this week.

Can anyone get the Cov commentary on iFollow? Stuck with the Barnsley commentators as it’s not giving the option to change.

They were lucky to even be in the playoffs last season. In my view, they’re just not good enough for the Championship and it’s showing. They’re too direct, and too reliant on set pieces to get a foothold in games. Even last season they had some of the fewest goals in the league from open play...

Rose has 2 goals in 31, Hyam has 3 in 83 games. With Hamer on set pieces, I'm hoping for more production from all our CBs this season. Our set piece takers in the previous seasons haven't been great.

We've seen glimpses of the player he could be, but what's blindingly obvious is the player doesn't have the drive to develop. Had it not been for COVID, we'd probably be able to shift him on because the transfer market has been a lot less active than usual. Agreed, he has a lot of attributes...

Agreed. Liam Walsh was apparently signed after we’d used all the budget last year. The good thing with MR is that he sets expectations low. He’ll say ‘we’ve used the budget’ and somehow sign another. Contrast that with Mowbray who spent all summer talking about signing players linked with...

Or, he just fancied a new look?

I don’t think he’s unfit, Walker looked good against Wolves on Monday.

I think it’s a reasonable suggestion. In a game where Dabo is either; injured, suspended, or needs to be taken off, he’d make a good replacement if we’re chasing a goal. Even if it was a joke, Robins mentioned he’d consider Kastaneer there...

Is he leaving? I see NY Red Bull have lined up a move, but surely he came to England to get a job at top-end Championship or Premiership club, eventually. Not an MLS gig.

I went to Barnsley away under Boothroyd and my mates went with me to and we picked that game 'because we always beat Barnsley'. Lost 2-1, and I don't think we've won at Oakwell since. But, I think a lot of this stuff is mindset. From that game I referred to, we were very much a club in terminal...

Still remember throughly enjoying Ball’s goal against Arsenal despite being 4-0 down! Despite being battered, I enjoyed the game because I went with absolutely zero expectations.

Rose also made an error which lead to us drawing against Gillingham who hadn’t troubled us all night. Hardly staking a claim for the starting berth. I like Rose, and for sure McFadz will drop out the starting lineup eventually, but he’s too important to the team at this moment in time to...

Top clubs have a win-now mentality so they’re mostly buying established stars to get them CL football and trophies. Man U fans use the Mahrez as an example. That’s a terrible example for them to use. He was signed when LCFC were in the Championship and he scored 3 in 19 that season. He wasn’t...

The club does factor in a players characteristics. MR confirmed a while back that we look for players who will fit in with the current group of players. The context was something about fostering the great team spirit we have. You see that Kastaneer fits in well with the group of players - the...

This article and the ‘Moneyball’ comparisons came at a weird time because I only watched the film last week when I was off work sick. Ironically, the analytical approach the A’s used was based off analytical models used in other sports, and football (our football) was one of the sports that...

Potentially, I’ve mentioned it a few times, but there’s no reason switch things up yet.
