I am shocked that the former Chelsea player and manager thinks a Championship squad is too small.

We are in a great position precisely because our squad is good enough. Bolstering it further is not straightforward given that we have tough decisions to make about even our starters this summer, let alone on backups that we’re yet to sign. People talk about us needing to spend money on a...

What happens if we don’t sign three players? We just punt on the season and prepare for the playoffs? I think this squad is more than capable of going the distance.

If it’s presumably going to hit other teams in the coming weeks while we’ve all got natural immunity then we could be promoted by the end of January.

I do think there are one or two places where we could do with another option. I just think there has been a consistent underestimation all season of how capable some of our squad players are - yesterday included - that Is making people want to fritter away resources out of nerves on a squad that...

If he gets injured we play one of our other CMs - they’re also good. He never gets injured btw Let’s save the money and squad positions for players who can play in the Premier League, not for Championship backups

I don’t think we should spend money on a player worse than Grimes just so we can give a break to a player who notoriously never needs a break

I can’t believe you don’t trust the squad that’s currently bossing the league even through major injury problems that are about to abate

We could try and see if Brandon Thomas-Asante is available from Coventry

Not very many I’d guess. Our squad depth must be pretty good if we’re top of the league by miles regardless.

Bad news that Thomas, Kitching and Sakamoto are out for the season with flu imo

Has yesterday’s performance changed anyone’s view on what we need (in the literal sense of the word) in terms of signings next month? I’m still on Team ‘Loan a right winger and let the current squad cook’ myself

I mean, they’ve got the flu and the game is five days away….

Rushworth 8 MOTM Big save after big save MVE 7 Looked like our biggest threat going forward in the first half Latibeaudiere 7 Woolfenden 7 Dasilva 6 Played really well in the first half, didn’t see the red card but looked like a stupid challenge Grimes 7 Torp 7 Wonderful assist...

Surely broke the stepover record today. I have my doubts as to whether he could thrive in the PL but I think he’s become an extremely valuable player for us right now.

Thought Bidwell did fine tbh - just needed him to stand up their attackers and head stuff away really. It was a good decision to move to a back 5, as he would have been murdered at LB, but he did well at LCB, and it suited Brau as well. Arguably we should have done it as soon as Dasilva went off.

Lampard experiencing massive headloss and giving fist pumps to the Southampton home end to the tune of Last Christmas before running over to the away end was simply incredible, I’m absolutely euphoric right now.
