He’s played on the left under Lampard and been absolutely shite tbf. In this system, he doesn’t suit the sort of winger Frank wants because he doesn’t play with inside forwards. So if Wright is gonna also be poor through the middle then we need to ship him out. That being said, he’s had 15...

You don't make two offers if you're trying to get him on the cheap - there's clearly a deal to be had here and Hull will have entertained this for us to continue with it.

Not always speed as well with the centre halves - people saying Hughes reads the game well which I think is another real issue in Kitching's game and why he gets consistently caught out by the ball over the top.

Also a risk of another season is he blows his ACL or achilles and that money is gone completely - or you go down and his value is halved etc. Understand the logic but not sure owners in football would think the same way about such a volatile asset! Understand your points around looking good in...

What about the momentum of the Jan-May run we just went on where we finished 5th in the championship rather than winning a very poor league one?

Not to repeat myself - but if it's an initial £6.5m as saddle said, then that's the base of the deal - like when we signed Simms for "£8m" which in reality was £3m with add-ons. So, as with most transfers, you can frame it in either way - if it was oh we've sold Milan for a fee that could be...

6.5m upfront feels like great business considering whatever appearance/individual performance based add-ons will be added to the deal + a 15% sell on. If he's great for them we could see a huge sum on a player we signed for £4m - if not we've made a nice little profit.

Rushworth KKH Thomas Kitching Dasilva Sheaf Grimes Sakamoto Rudoni EMC Simms 3-1 win - Simms brace

Graeme Bailey posts nothing but utter horseshit

Felt exactly the same as Luton away in extra time that. Game had turned and we were in the driving seat to go and win it - Lampard sits on his hands and makes no changes until BTA. Let’s Sunderland come back into the game. He’s done a great job but he’s got to learn from this for next season...

Wait, Sunderland won a play-off semi-final first leg 2-1 in 2023? Surely they went through to the final then?

This isn’t a standard away league fixture though is it - it’s a game where we absolutely need to win so the examples you’ve listed aren’t really the same. Personally I actually see us as coming out and scoring early and then the game going incredibly cagey. Also assume someone else has pointed...

Wilson MvE Thomas Kitching DaSilva Sheaf Grimes Sakamoto Rudoni Mason-Clark Wright After an hour if it's still 0-0 then you bring Simms or BTA on and go two up top imo

I imagine they will try the exact same thing but the chances of it working again feel low - can't realistically sit in for 180 minutes and get as lucky as they did yesterday for the majority.

The major issue is we don't have a classic number 10 who can break the lines when teams rock up with two banks of 4 and sit in. I love Rudi but he's clearly more suited to a role just off the striker rather than a classic 10 who drop in, receive the ball and then spin and play a killer pass. So...

Yep - a proactive manager makes the changes to try and push for the win - Frank just sat on his hands as he often does. Only thing really so far that frustrates me so much about him/edwards

he was getting balls punted 30 yards above his head vs all 3 cbs - he can't do much more than he did - he'll have run a bollock load today hence needing to be subbed when he was. Tbh the loss is on Frank for: 1. Starting Collins 2. at 80 minutes making no changes despite Rudi/Wright being...

is this an offer open to anyone or are you just gonna send me a picture of Jake Bidwell as a gag?

Had a reasonably balanced go at predicting the results for the main 4: Us - Pompey - W Hull - D West Brom - W Plymouth - W Luton - L Boro - D Bristol City - West Brom - D QPR - W Sunderland - D Luton - L Leeds - L Preston - W Boro - Leeds - L Millwall - D Plymouth - W Wednesday - D Norwich...

If O'Brien isn't shit, we're on at least 7 points and everyone is happy. We've been unlucky to lose two games and dominated the two we won (where we scored 5 goals that people have appeared to have forgotten). Just don't react like we're the best in the league when we win or the worst in the...
