Hoping the speculation about missing players tomorrow is just mind games from FL. In general, elite athletes have a slightly lower immunity while training intensively according to various stuff I remember reading. Sorry, no links as got to head to the pub

Kitch does remind me a bit of Maguire. In a positive way. He’s faster but not utterly dominant in the air like Maguire usually is.

Agreed. He basically ran the game in the first half from CB

🤣 This is basically all I think about when New York accents come up.

I’ve seen that from him before. Out of nowhere, he can eat up the ground vs someone you thought was quicker. But not that often.

Bit of a weird memory has come into my head. Wes Jobello repeatedly trying to knock the ball past his full back and run into space but having nowhere near the necessary speed to pull it off.

Haha. I forgot about Marsden who couldn’t run but honestly, the visions I have in my mind’s eye of Staunton running in treacle. It can’t be possible to be slower. Interesting we had John Craven playing for us, presumably before his TV career kicked on….

Willo could eat up half a pitch in the blink of an eye. Kevin Gallacher was absolutely electric over 15 yards. Huckerby’s edge was that he had the upper-body strength to shrug off defenders while building up significant speed. And he was lightening off the mark too. More recently, Ryan Kent...

Feels like the time for Haji to start firing again. Southampton are good so it won’t be easy. But I saw their game on Saturday. Scienza is tricky. He started well but by the second half, Norwich were bullying him and he started hiding.

Would love Gomez on paper but that injury record 👀

Brighton are very good at this game. They may not want to keep him because they probably can’t keep him happy with game time in the long run. They know he’s decent and loaning him to us was a way of inflating his value before they do decide to sell.

All totally hypothetical at this point of course….. But if promoted, we would need the kind of fast centre back who you find in top divisions but not often in the Championship. We’d probably sign 2 CBs leaving Kitch and Bobby to jostle for starting places. I could see Grimes in a double pivot...

He was lively in the first 30 mins v Oxford but they kept him very quiet after that.

I’m just assuming they’ll play a lot better against us but having watched them twice in a week, they look very short on ideas and confidence. Not a team. Also really don’t luke it up em. Don’t react well to pressure and not aggressive enough themselves

Half those highlights come from one game behind closed doors

There’s big pressure on Ipswich. Their fans are quite chilled compared with others. Maybe McKenna has a lot of credit in the bank plus the memories of being in L1 less than 3 years ago. But ripping up the team hasn’t worked. All the pundits saying they’re bound to come good is pressure and they...

I remember when he first started playing for us in L1. Scored a very tidy goal down at Bristol Rovers and came up with some great assists (v Sunderland comes to mind). Not great in our first season back in the championship. But since then has been a great player for 20-30 games each year at 7/10...

He was also using us and wasn’t hiding it based on that interview

Only saw the bit where he talked about Cov. Could have missed something but the massive elephant in the room is the fact that he was in serious decline. Went to Huddersfield and did nothing so it wasn’t just us. Bad signing but you don’t get them all right. Leaving aside the wider debate about...

Because we are in the box seat. 2 draws keeps them both further away than one gaining more ground on us
