A bright start by us and a few neat touches by Simms.

I have suggested that before, as I think Wright has the ability to run the channels and either have a shot himself or preferably lay it off for Godden. An alternative, in a change of formation, could be to play him and Sakamoto as conventional wide men. It may not work but things aren't working...

I think Kelly is a decent player. The problem - which is hardly his fault - is that he isn't a Harmer replacement, which some expect him to be, although to be fair few are. The nearest we currently have to replacing Harmer are Palmer - who I still rate despite a couple of poor performances...

The way we have been defending lately I think the best option is for you to travel by bus. I'm sure MR will give you permission to park it on our goal line. 🙂

I take your point but football matches are decided by goals scored. In his current form he is a precious asset for us. He seems to relish having taken on the role of our number 1 striker from Vik.

I agree. There are some excellent players on show. Bundee O'Aki is a bit useful isn't he?

Well done you for sticking at it 👍

I think we will finish in a comfortable mid-table position, probably around 10-15th. It will take a while for the team to gel but eventually it will, so I expect our poor start to continue for a while but for us then to slowly start climbing up the table. I don't totally rule out a push for the...

This is give you a more sensible answer than my jocular one above. I have no personal experience of a complete career change but I can recount the experience of a friend. He gave up a very well paid job as a land surveyor, working for a property developer, because he found it too stressful. He...

Do you have the necessary skills to be a right wing back. :)

The early signs are that TS isn't good enough as a defender to be a wing back, so the question then is how he fits into our system. He is a tricky player and we need to try and find a way of getting the best out of him. I would like to see him deployed as one of the two AM's in a box midfield...

My thinking is similar. Sakamoto and Wright are both capable of running through the channels and - IF they can slide some good balls through - could create chances. I would start with Godden, given his current goal-scoring form, but (depending upon the match situation) would be happy to give...

Few of us can be happy with our start to the season but MR hasn't suddenly become a bad manager overnight and this team does need time to gel. I wouldn't even dream of sacking MR until the end of the season, unless we really are in a relegation scrap and feel we need a "new manager bounce" to...

There seems to be an emerging consensus on here that we have a good choice of decent centre backs, lack creativity in midfield and - Godden apart - have strikers who can't score. The logical conclusion is that we shouldn't be conceding too many but should struggle to score, yet the statistics...

As I was saying. 😀

Terrible defending. Again.

Palmer is so frustrating. He has a fair amount of skill but he never puts it to good use. He's probably the laziest player we have had since Jay Bothroyd.

That's why MR plays Godden. He contributes absolutely nothing. Other than goals 😀

While Sheaf and O'Hare are out and Allen not yet match fit I would give Lati a go in defensive midfield in place of Kelly. Kelly could be an option from the bench if we need to hold out for the last twenty minutes.

35+ between Simms, Wright and Godden. We need the midfield to chip in and the centre backs to contribute from set pieces. We have looked better across the board from set pieces this season. Eccles is showing promise with his corners and Van Ewicjk is a threat with his free kicks and long...
