It’s not, credit to Maidstone for getting the 5th round but they’ve used their luck up against Ipswich. It should be a routine win for us. I’m glad it’s a home tie for both teams.

That’s policing in 21st century Britain. Shambles.

As for @WestEndAgro’s COH claim? Heard anything on that front?

Gyokeres and Hamer carried us last season. This season has been much more of a team effort. Sakamoto, Wright, Sheaf and of course O’Hare have been match winners in recent weeks.

Well, £5 upfront. £15m does seem a bit high but that’s with performance incentives. For arguments sake, another team could be offering £5-8m cash. Similar structured deals is probably how we landed Simms in a crowded field of suitors.

£15m seemed obscenely high for Hamer too, given the circumstances. Could be a bidding war and a team is particularly desperate to secure him. A team like Southampton may not be a preferred destination in free agency - they might not get promoted.

This is up there with worst shout since the suggestion that Dabo could play CM. Not going to happen.

Probably our best team with what’s available. It’s too early to say Torp > Eccles but with MR saying he wanted to take him off (but couldn’t) suggested he may be rested next game.

For team that’s made so many bad signings, we seem to be doing alright!

Pretty sure Godden was 3rd choice last season after Kelly and McFadz?

It is when you factor in the following: - Palmer thrives when he has space - Palmer has less league goals than Godden and Simms - COH plays as a CAM, so Palmer wouldn’t be a false 9, he’d play as a striker So what are we actually improving by playing Palmer as a False 9?

With respect, stick to spectating. Terrible shout.

Which is why we’re after wingers. You have to establish cause and effect. Is it the strikers who are not finishing the chance or the service to them? As I’ve been banging on for a while, we’ve struggled to create good opportunities for our strikers in recent games. Simms, it is fair to say...

It certainly became a meaningless gesture, especially when every team was doing it before every game. However, last night it was good to see the squad rallied together. I have no issues with Sheffield Wednesday standing in solidarity - the incident would have hurt their own players too. On one...

Or that without Sheaf and Torp we didn’t look like creating anything.

When he was 19/20? It’s respectable for sure. The issue is that we’re not producing good enough chances for our strikers.

8 in 21 at Blackpool (1 in 2.6 goals per game) and 5 in 17 at Hearts (1 in 3.4) suggests otherwise. We’re the outlier.

He’s a L2 striker… Even if he’s good for the Championship our recruitment policy should be orientated to players taking us to the next level: the Prem.

In the summer, for sure. Not right now.

The difference is that we had a week to recover from that game and momentum going into the Leicester game was important. Last night, we’ve had a difficult run of games and MR alluded to that catching up with a number of our players. We’ve got Bristol on Tuesday and Norwich away on Saturday...
