Yup crazy nonsense.
like when Dawkins put the upturn in form to Kitch “putting some manners on Simms etc “. Wish he’d put some on Ballard in the last minute !
Yup crazy nonsense.The people saying we should sell Wright are really suggesting we sign fucking Bundu

How do you know there’s a small pot?Strange how in most years the season ends and the glass is actually half empty. The profit is most likely in the players we want to keep. Nicking a few quid for BTA or Eccles barely counts.
In the Championship there was the width of Bobby Thomas's haircut between finishing 10-11th and finishing 5th. Our squad as it stands is safely in that bracket, and if it gets the rub of the green (Ogilvy mistimes his jump?) it gets in the play offs. But let's not kid ourselves.
There is a small pot so more emphasis should be placed elsewhere other than transfers. I want to see some of the things that are "free"
- Players with obvious potential being coached so that they kick on in the way Rudoni has - EMC, Simms, Thomas and maybe Tats . I've given up on Bassette. We need more of that.
- Greater tactical awareness from Frank. Less of the rigid 433 and subs at 70 mins. Other teams have worked us out - which is part of the Wright problem - they know what he does
Derbys player of the season and In the top 5% of players in the championship for successful tackles and interceptions.It was Ebou Adams too after Derby away
Kitching would pull O'Niens arms off, Thomas would absolutely leather him too. Your opinion on what you want is fine but thats a minging example, he's just a tedious little WUM.You know that regular thread "Name the unpopular opinion you have about (enter subject e.g. your football team).
Well mine is that we need a real brute at the back - even harder than Kitching, who is pretty hard, a real shithouser. For those of a certain age who remember him, "six foot two and eyes of blue, big Jim Houlton is after you"
Someone like Sunderland's Onien would do just fine, shame he's 31.

O'Nien is about 5'10" and would give away loads of penalties with VAR. Ballatd is more the type we need.You know that regular thread "Name the unpopular opinion you have about (enter subject e.g. your football team).

He spoke well after the match and tbh played better than Kitch and Thomas both matches.Kitching would pull O'Niens arms off, Thomas would absolutely leather him too. Your opinion on what you want is fine but thats a minging example, he's just a tedious little WUM.
Yep I agree his passing is poor but a midfielder who mixes it up alongside Grimes and Rudi is not an awful idea. It’s about the blend.So was Sheaf last season. More pertinently, does he fit the profile for our team? Probably not because his passing stats are awful.
He’s 29 and the club needs to buy players to improve over time with resale value. He’s a good player but just not the right player for us.
He is a terrible shout but regardless i wasn't talking about him as a player, more the notion that he's a 'hard man'.He spoke well after the match and tbh played better than Kitch and Thomas both matches.
I don’t think he’s the answer but it’s not a terrible shout.
If you don’t think he loves the dark arts you’ve not watched him play much. He’s fearless.He is a terrible shout but regardless i wasn't talking about him as a player, more the notion that he's a 'hard man'.
We also didn’t get going until the end of Dec… with a half decent first qtr we would have cruised into the play offs
Ok I'd take Ballard. But please don't tell me that Thomas is hard (see comment above). He terrorizes nobody.I'Nien is about 5'10" and would give away loads of penalties with VAR. Ballatd is more the type we need.

The litmus test is "who would you least like to bump into on a dark night?" Historically the answer was always Roy Kean or Neil Ruddock. That's the type we need - they get into the minds of strikers.
Me too, but for the sanity of those on here, I hope we do better. If we plateau then DK will be gone, and who knows what comes after?It would gave been very difficult to overturn the 21 point gap between ourselves and Sheff U even with a good first quarter so even if we'd 'cruised' into the play off we'd more than likely still have ended up playing Sunderland, (maybe we could have finished above them, but would that have made that much difference, who knows?)
If we can find ish 5th or 6th again next year I'll be more than happy.
He was as hard as f**k thoughRuddock was nothing special.
But shite, be ripped to pieces even in the championship if he was playing now.He was as hard as f**k though

Absolute dreamworld would be 7 new starters. Clearly that’s not going to happen and that’s before you get to the question of Van Ewijk/Rudoni/Wright being sold.
Keeper will need to be sorted. I expect a loan.
Left back we could also do with sorting, albeit the resurgence of Dasilva in the last couple of months gives a bit more leeway in this.
My preference would be 2 new centre backs, but that won’t happen for a couple of reasons. We will be needing 1 at least. I like both Thomas and Kitching but neither are of the level where you’d say they could step up to the PL.
Centre mid needs 1 addition to come in alongside Grimes and Rudoni.
Striker is a must have. Need someone who is more suited to our style.
Ideally a winger/inside forward type for the right hand side. This I could accept a development player (probably a bit further along their development than Raphael).

Breen was far betterYou know what we need at the back? Someone in the mould of Big Mo KonjicI wish I could make him young again and get him playing for us, never mind Ballard or others Big Mo was a fucking brick wall
I liked Breen but for me it was Mo just preferences in the end mate, either way we could do with both of them lol.Breen was far better
I believe he's still out of contract, maybe we could get himI think we need someone with a bit of class. Gary Gillespie springs to mind.
Really surprised about your opinion on MVE. I think he’s excellent defensively and his recovery pace is a huge assetDefinitely agree we need to fix the defence first. We concede bad goals very regularly. Defensively MVE and Dasilva are both very poor. That’s the priority for me. Along with a new keeper for Collins. On the wider recruitment front the championship is generally a terrible place to buy. You get average quality for large fees. So unless we pick up some frees I’d be looking elsewhere.
The pace does bail him out tho. He is often out of position meaning he needs to use his pace to recoverReally surprised about your opinion on MVE. I think he’s excellent defensively and his recovery pace is a huge asset
1v1 defensively he has been excellent recentlyThe pace does bail him out tho. He is often out of position meaning he needs to use his pace to recover
