Tbf to Liam Kelly, he was the ONLY player who wasn’t struck with stage fright in the first half of the play off final.

Ps. 2-0 Hull

What’s the point in Sakamato, seems like such a talent but if we can’t fit into our system why did we buy him

What does this even mean, he's literally last choice of all the midfielders at the club.

Well as soon as we got promoted to the championship he went and replaced Kelly with Hamer and Sheaf as soon as possible. Dropped a bit of clanger in the transfer market this Summer as it seems they genuinely thought Hamer wasn't going to leave

Playing as a wide player (as the poster said was his better position rather than a 10) is totally different to playing as a winger. I know you are not that ignorant on formations, but wonder why you are so insistent on being so obtuse?

He looks electric out wide offensively but I don't think Robins trusts him defensively, and MVE is improving every week.

Have to say that I'm surprised we're playing two up front even though we have a weakened midfield.

Sakamoto not being able to get in at AM in this side is a bit concerning.

I liked Oasis, but they went downhill fast. 1st album, singles & B-sides were superb even if they did rip off everyone from TREX to Coke adverts. At least Blur's Kink's & music-hall rip-offs were more subtle.

The person who said Blur were a Tory band has forgotten that they did a song with "Red" Ken Livingstone!

That’s what a squad is for. Gutting about Sheaf but bringing in your club captain who was brilliant in the last 8 or so games last season isn’t a disaster. Allen should be back by next weekend too, followed by O’Hare.

If it was up to most of this forum we’d still have Biamou upfront.

Ah ok apologies

Eccles is a decent squad player and has scope to improve further, ideally we would have better than him in the first 11 right now but we don't. Ironically Kelly is playing the role of first replacement which I would have liked to see Eccles do this season.

Eccles improves season on season; that's why he was tied down to a long term deal.
I agree with you.

Lots of people wondering if they've wandered into a rock concert or football match. Coventry Vs Rammstein away.

Especially after paying £10m for him. Or was it 20? I forget.

Ever heard of time and integration? Liverpool used to make big signings and it would take at least six weeks for them to make the bench. Once on the bench they had to wait for their opportunity.

Must be some pressure to start Binks given he's not even had a sub appearance in the league so far.

Our fans expect every new signing to be straight into the side . That is progress folks, squad depth means good players are on the bench. It means they don't get rushed into the side, learn our system, earn your place.
