    What will you miss?

    IF we are promoted. What will you miss about the championship and the EFL in general?

    Depth

    Only Rushworth, Grimes and Dasilva from our best starting 11 were on the pitch at the end today. Quite a ridiculous squad we’ve put together and they have all played their part.

    Statement signings if we go up?

    Who would you want? I’d love Charlie Cresswell, think we shown interest before he went to Toulouse. Probably have to pay £20-30m now, not sure if it would be realistic.

    If we do it

    if we get over the line and complete our rise from league 2 to the premier league, who is most responsible? Robins is the obvious one, Lampard for finally getting us over the line? Dean Austin and Chris Badlan for their amazing recruitment over the years? Doug?

    The bench against Birmingham on the 4th January. Wilson Lati Woolfenden Perry Shepard Andrews Brau Bidwell Wright the bench yesterday Wilson Kitching Woolfenden Bidwell Markelo Esse Simms Torp Eccles Allen, Yang left out the squad and BTA and KKH both back for WBA. Serious depth and options now.

    Rushworth

    Should be the first signing we make if we go up. Brighton surely have to sell or make him number 1 he’s too good to sit on the bench, can see him being Pickfords successor for England. I was against the permanent signing when it was rumoured we bid £5m as I am a massive Dovin fan but he’s...

    Long throws

    Another goal from the long throw yesterday, Sunderland and Brentford both scored from one yesterday. Becoming much more prevalent in football. It’s not something that ever gets mentioned when talking about MVE but it’s probably adds another £1m to his value?

    Team for Watford

    Few options now which is great I’d go Rushworth MVE Thomas Kitching Dasilva Allen Grimes Sakamoto Torp BTA Wright Wilson Woolfenden KKH Bidwell Brau Eccles Andrews EMC Simms Harsh on Simms and Woolfenden who haven’t done anything to lose their place. Allen over EMC to get a bit of...

    Recruitment

    Dean Austin has taken some stick on here but I think overall the recruitment has been very good since he came in. Even the likes of Kitching and Asante are starting to look like good value signings. especially when you look at some of the dross going for big money in the championship at the moment.

    25/26 rogue predictions

    Just for a bit of fun to look back on at the end of the season I’ll go with -EMC to win player of the season -Lampard to not be here by the end of the season

    Relegated players

    Anyone you’d take a punt on from the relegated clubs if we don’t get promoted? Bundu from Plymouth and Alli from Luton look handy but not really a position we need. Morris could be useful. Ng from Cardiff if we lose Milan?

    Midfield 3

    Say as Rudoni and Sheaf are back fully fit after the international break what would your midfield 3 be going forward? It would be really harsh to drop Allen after yesterday but I think a midfield of Torp Rudoni and Grimes has a really nice balance to it. If Sheaf can get back to his best it’s...

    Why

    Did we sign Jamie Paterson?

    Best 11 since return to the championship

    Saw something similar on X so thought I’d ask on here. What’s the best 11 you can put together of players who we’ve had since our return to the champ? for me Dovin Ostigard McFadz Doyle MVE Sheaf Hamer Maatsen Ohare Gyokeres Wright

    Onwards and upwards

    Got away with one today but that’s 6 wins in 7, some favourable fixtures coming up and some key players returning from Injury. We’re in a very good position to get one of them play off spots.

    Match Thread Bristol City (A) 24th August 12:30 KO

    Expect the same 11 possibly Dasilva in for Bidwell. Quite fortunate to win the cup last week can’t see us doing it again. That Mayulu for them looks a handful, I’m going for a 1-1 draw.

    Size of the team

    One thing I noticed last night is how big we were as a team. Especially you swap Allen and Sakamoto for Sheaf and Wright. Thomas and Binks are tall, Bidwell is a good height for a fullback. Eccles Sheaf Torp and Rudoni are all 6ft ish. Simms and Wright are both roughly 6ft3 and EMC looks a real...

    Front 3 vs Stoke

    Assuming Haji is 100% fit what would be your front 3 against Stoke? Simms EMC and Sakamoto were great last night but Haji was arguably our best player last season.

    Match Thread Stevenage (A)- 23/07/24

    Never done Stevenage and a week off work so I’m heading down. Probably 2 separate 11s again. Hopefully Haji, Torp, Rapha are fit to play. Dovin be ready?
