Horrible place to have to go on New Year’s Day. Strongest team we have available for me with Palmer to make an impact later on.

I think that was Reggie Genaux. That was awful.

There’s a reason there are so many late goals. If teams are behind you’ll normally see two things. 1) They’ll bring another forward on as “they need a goal” and 2) They’ll start hitting longer balls as “they need a goal”. Which begs some obvious questions. The game is now obsessed with...

I’d like us to go for Ce-em Boxtboxhamerlike. I think he’s currently at Genk.

Isn’t that the general idea though??

Well the referee saw it and gave a straight red. It’s then been reviewed and upheld so I’d say it’s fairly certain he did do or say something.

Dasilva is basically not good enough defensively and never will be. That’s his game. He’s tidy enough on the ball and can make and receive a pass. He’s a useful squad player at this level. But when he plays in a flat back 4 there will be an opportunity for any opposition down his flank.

For me it’s not about the goals. He just hasn’t found any rhythm - hasn’t shown much evidence of being a natural player. It’s entirely possible it’s a confidence thing and we’re just waiting for the click - we’ll see.

Reflecting on it next day it was a dominant display. Their equaliser just one of those things. Thought we missed Kitching but overall it’s clear we are a top 8 champ team at least with potential to push beyond. New signings settling - Wright, MVE, Sakamoto and Kitching now look absolute...

McFadzean still has a role I think. If we ever switch to a back five he’s a natural choice. Kelly - I imagine he’ll be off trying to earn a summer deal in L1. Don’t see Godden going anywhere.

Costly bit of indiscipline from Kitching. I certainly think we get 3 points if he’d played v Swansea.

We keep mentioning the Leeds game. Let’s have it correct - what he did in that game was run about a lot and show some commitment. That is the absolute minimum we should expect and get. He starts ahead of Godden for me he needs to start producing something tangible over the next 10-15 games to...

Wright is involved in the vast majority of our goals. He’s now looking like a bargain at the price we paid.

To be honest last nights game was pretty much the same as a lot recently. Sakamoto, Wright, Sheaf outstanding. A lot of others very good and then Dasilva and Godden not so good. Not getting at them but it’s really evident. Dasilva defensively is terribly naive and Goddens legs look to have gone...

Given we’ve spent the money we have to give Simms time. But we also have to win games. The solution is to get a young prem loan for the season. Simms gets the season to make an impact or otherwise and we get some breathing space until the summer to weigh up whether we stick or twist.

Frustrating in the end but we’re a squad to be feared now. I actually think we need to find a back up to Bidwell now as unfortunately Dasilva cant be justified a spot even as back up. So much more starting to come together. Wright looks absolute quality and special mention to Latibeaudiere’s...

It’s glaringly obvious that the upgrade would be Simms. But the magnitude of the upgrade depends on how much we have left after the CM spend.

Sounds more early to mid eighties. Once we got to 87 they tended to be less basic than the one you describe.

Please not comparison by stats. They mean nothing. My opinion on it - Sheaf is currently a bit better than Eccles but Eccles has time to become better than Sheaf and probably will. They’re both very good championship players.

He’s not our player for four years. He’s our player until he moves elsewhere. We have to make that less likely/palatable for him.
