I don't think we chose to keep him...

At WBA game there was a guy berated Wright for ‘just standing there’ several times when we were passing around the edge of the box. My thoughts to that were a) we were playing too conservatively to play a risky pass and b) he does make a lot of runs higher up the pitch. All our strikers do, but...

The biggest area in need of improvement is undoubtedly midfield. Not only are we short on numbers, we’re short on quality. In all the games so far, we’ve generally struggled to create clear cut chances and in games where we’ve threw away leads, the midfield has lost control. Yes, COH and...

Overreacting just a tad.

The problem is the midfield, we move the ball far too slowly and don’t create good chances. We consistently lose the battle in midfield. Even Godden has stopped scoring because he hasn’t had the chances. We can’t not replace a player like Hamer and expect to maintain our performance levels. If...

There’s a pragmatism, he spoke this week about players making decisions on the ball. Even without the benefit of hindsight, Eccles dribbling in the box under a lot of pressure probably doesn’t qualify as a ‘good’ decision. By contrast, Bobby Thomas’ passes that were a bit dodgy sits under poor...

We love to concede a daft, soft goal this season… Must drive MR crazy.

Do we have an option to buy Binks?

Stole the points? We hit the crossbar 3 times…

Agreed. At first viewing it looked like it was harder to miss and on the second viewing, it was a very well placed finish. It’ll do him a world of good.

Second home game I’ve travelled up from Maidenhead midweek! Hoping for a 3 points as a birthday present!

I wouldn’t force the issue, and it depends where we’re at in the league. If our targets are available at a good price we should absolutely get them in January.

We were the most direct team in the league last season and that was undoubtedly driven by Hamer and his passing. That’s what we’re really missing and the one weakness in our recruitment is the CM replacement for Hamer. Wright and Simms look good when we’re direct and they’re running onto to the...

You say that but we probably should’ve seen off wins v Watford, Hull and Huddersfield which would put us into 3rd or 4th. We’ve had a lot of turnover with a new squad to bed in and at 10 games in, we look steady with a lot of improvement needed. Overall, with some reinforcements in Jan or the...

COH is obviously the first choice if he recovers from his ACL and his pre-injury form. He won’t even be in contention for at least a month and he’ll be eased in from then. Even then, it’s not a given he’ll be the same. As of now, he’s not in consideration so it’s moot.

That’s who’s been starting there whenever he’s fit and available…

I think it will be a while and until he’s back and playing consistently, we can’t really count egg before it’s hatched. As we found with Jones, I’m convinced he’d have prospered had he not done his second ligament at P’boro at home in L1.

Would he start ahead of Sheaf and Hamer ? No. I think he’s a solid player, but doesn’t strike me as someone who’s going to kick on take us to the next level. He’s durable and vegetative which is invaluable so he’s an asset. It’s easier for the likes of Kelly, Eccles and even Sheaf (to a...

I think Allen and Sheaf will be the two CMs with Palmer at AM at full strength. Eccles is still developing and is a decent player but strikes me as more of a depth player.

I think both Kitching and Binks can play centrally and as Thomas and Kitching like to overlap, you’d think that’d be option if McFadz gets injured/suspended.
