Absolutely no way would the sales of Sheaf and MVE generate that much. 6 mill for the pair tops. Sheaf no more than 4 and MVE might be worth 2. He is not rated outside of Coventry.MVE will be off. Club thought he was off in Jan but didn’t meet our valuation
Can certainly see Sheaf out the door too. That will accumulate to 15 - 18 mill of funds also Vik windfall of another 6-8 mill. That’s around 25 mill with a few others leaving. I can see another summer of mass movement
hopefully this time round it’s quality over quantity with a couple loans thrown in too

My guess is JDS will be one of them. Mostly because Bidwell’s got a new contract.From what i hear, at least 3 of them will be moved on in the summer.
Saw him after the game he had a trophy for player of the game!!Sakamoto pointless
You forgot we will have to give £2m to the poor club that has the misfortune of taking over Wright's contract. He is not rated outside of the Cherry Tree.Absolutely no way would the sales of Sheaf and MVE generate that much. 6 mill for the pair tops. Sheaf no more than 4 and MVE might be worth 2.

Did not have him down as a kleptomaniac!Saw him after the game he had a trophy for player of the game!!

I'm guessing Binks(for a decent fee), BTA(for a good fee) and JDS(for an adequate fee).Guessing Binks, Dasilva and Lati
Yep, I thought he was the best of a bad lot, was not losing the ball, made a few crosses, had a good shot and set up the overlap to make the cross a few times.Saw him after the game he had a trophy for player of the game!!

Well that’s obviously not true as there was a Dutch club after him .Absolutely no way would the sales of Sheaf and MVE generate that much. 6 mill for the pair tops. Sheaf no more than 4 and MVE might be worth 2. He is not rated outside of Coventry.
Its got to be Lati and Binks out if we’re looking for 2 new CBsI'm guessing Binks(for a decent fee), BTA(for a good fee) and JDS(for an adequate fee).
Lati is too versatile, capable at centre back or as a defensive midfielder and has a good personality that contributes positively to team spirit to ship out too easily, unless someone has offers a fee that can't be turned down. Yes he was poor tonight except for the goal.
So how much do you think a Dutch club would be prepared to pay for him?Well that’s obviously not true as there was a Dutch club after him .
He is. I heard good things about him in The Anecdote.You forgot we will have to give £2m to the poor club that has the misfortune of taking over Wright's contract. He is not rated outside of the Cherry Tree.
Is it unfair to expect lati to do the basics?Honestly don’t think anyone comes out of today with any credit at all.
If you really wanted to push it, you could argue:
Rudoni - didn’t hide, decent technique and in tight situations as always, but wasted out left and poor set pieces today (unlike him)
Kitching - stepped out with the ball a few times and made space. Tried to get us playing from the back.
Also, other player observation;
Sakamoto - don’t get the pile on. He’s a right winger, playing in a weird shape with a RWB behind him who cant/wont overlap, which he needs to help make space. Also had one player ahead of him (BTA) and limited options when he was in possession. On the ball he was fine today. Let’s not judge until he’s back playing his role.
Lati - yes he has a shocker, but he’s never a RWB and it’s almost unfair asking him to play there.
JDS - his strength (and sometimes redeeming feature) was/is his technique and ability to play out of tight situations. But that wasn’t obvious today, loss of confidence/knows he’s going.

Agree, dare say Eccles days are numbered. He’s 6th choice now in the middle of the park as it is, had a chance today and blew it.
One trick ponyI thought Saka had a decent game, one of the few who did.
What?I don't disagree, but Sheaf is now 5th choice too, and many of our fans base are having trouble coming to terms with that.
Simply, we might not have seen it today, but we generally have much more quality in midfield now.
We’ve won 4 in 5 in the league. I doubt he’s that unhappy.Frank - 0
Team selection and formation totally wrong. Doug won’t be happy.
Just like Jacob Murphy he’s another player not good enough for us but will somehow go on to play for better teams at a higher level. Meanwhile we’re told that Eccles is “a great player” -What?how have you come to that conclusion? Sheaf is one of the first names on the team sheet in any championship side. Christ, we go on a 4 game run where other midfielders (Allen/Torp) have a slight purple patch and score a couple of goals. We sign a midfielder that has played a sum total of 28 minutes for us and you’ve deduced that one of the most technical CDMs we’ve had for probably 15 years becomes 5th choice.

I feel sorry for Sakamoto , that injury has clearly affected him so badly , he has I fear regressed but no blame on him. It does t stop him trying hard though as always but I would be letting him go in the summerSakamoto is the same one trick pony he was before his injury. Teams had already started to work him out. Dasilva hasn't got a truck. Lati is decent in several positions, but never a RWB?
Lampard's selections were odd today. Especially BTA as a loan striker.
MVE will be off. Club thought he was off in Jan but didn’t meet our valuation
Can certainly see Sheaf out the door too. That will accumulate to 15 - 18 mill of funds also Vik windfall of another 6-8 mill. That’s around 25 mill with a few others leaving. I can see another summer of mass movement
hopefully this time round it’s quality over quantity with a couple loans thrown in too
It was just naive to play such high lines against opposition like this and it concerns me that teams will quickly cotton on while FL persists with it. MVE aside the defenders are just not quick enough or even that great at sensing the danger.
Rudoni the least bad today.
On that last note, should be only based on the last time we pretty much a whole squad to build with only one CB on our book, and Godden and Tavares being our only Strikers.MVE will be off. Club thought he was off in Jan but didn’t meet our valuation

3 goals, 3 assists and some good crossing and passing in the opponents box puts that cliche to bed.One trick pony
There is a touch of that. But he is so reliable in possession in the final third, he keeps attacks going when otherwise they may have broken down.One trick pony
I wouldn’t be upset if all the CBs were shipped out in the summer. They’re just not good enough for where we want to be.They are cottoning onto it... Go back and watch the highlights of the past 4/5 games. The big chances we concede are on the whole fairly similar. Attacker makes a run in behind either on either flank or through the middle and is easily able to get a chance / cross away.
I've been banging on this drum for the past 5/6 weeks that the better sides will seriously punish us for it and that's happened.
The wins have peppered over what still remains a pretty poor defence. Zero ability to anticipate danger, very limited athleticism, horribly flat footed and generally not good enough.
I thought Kitching was decent and I was very happy when he threw their bloke to the floor.Honestly don’t think anyone comes out of today with any credit at all.

Another late night drinking on your own?
I think he would improve like most young players, given the time and the right coaching. I think it's more of a case that it was identified pretty quickly that we needed more experience in the midfield and defence, if we want to make the step up. Like most have been saying on here all season, the balance is off.My guess is JDS will be one of them. Mostly because Bidwell’s got a new contract.
I think I’d actually keep Binks. I think he’s young enough to improve…just.
One trick that works 9.5 out of 10 times.One trick pony
