He’s not being given a chance for some reason. No idea why. It’s nothing to do with his ability.

Perhaps his confidence is low so its more shielding him for now and unleashing him again when it comes back as we all know he is a confidence playerHe’s not being given a chance for some reason. No idea why. It’s nothing to do with his ability.
He came on for 20 mins as an impact sub yesterday.He’s not being given a chance for some reason. No idea why. It’s nothing to do with his ability.
He is a very good player in this league but will turn 30 in Feb, he's contract to summer 2026 not 2028, so has 18 months left on his contract. The club isn't going to pay that much for that age of player, it's not the model.He’s a top top player for this division, his MV is 3.5m and he plays for a fellow Championship club and contract until 2028. Only way we’re getting him is a little more than MV, he’s 29 now so still has a good 4/5 years in him depending how his body holds up
Simms is never gonna be an impact sub though, not that sort of playerHe came on for 20 mins as an impact sub yesterday.
And made no impact at all.
That doesn't help him. Especially as Bassette was a live wire.
But the fact he's so hot and cold is an issue.Wow exit the guy who got 19 goals for us last season …..
Talk of him going for 15 million in janLouie Barry
Who to?Talk of him going for 15 million in jan
Could try to move Bidwell on and upgrade himWe won’t be getting a CM, unless Sheaf goes which TBH I wouldnt be shocked with. King said as much as the forum. He thinks we’ve got enough.
Assuming someone wants him.Could try to move Bidwell on and upgrade him
Someone will I'm sure might not generate a fee though.Assuming someone wants him.
I would struggle to imagine we would get fees for the likes of Allen Bidwell and Tavares - be pleased if we did but reckon it would be a case of using their combined wages on a another playerExpecting Vik to move generating about 4-6m extra for us to potentially spend
In :
LWB - Harvey Vale (Loan to buy)
CB - Rob Holding (1m)
RWB - Josh Acheampong (loan)
Or - Ethan Laird (2m)
Or - Emil Krafth (500k)
CM - Alex Mowatt (4m)
Out :
Jake Bidwell (100k)
Fabio Tavares (100k)
Ben Wilson (loan)
Kai Andrews (loan)
This is just ideal transfers in my opinion, Laird and Krafth are very solid defensively RB/RWB. Looking at Laird’s underlying data he’s very strong defensively for a League 1 defender let alone his position. Krafth has got plenty of experience and could fill the void of Bidwells experience.
Mowatt is the perfect fit for what we need in CM in my opinion we must go all out for him.
Holding is seeing few appearances for Crystal Palace and is an experienced CB who has played at the top level could be fantasy land due to wages but if it could be pulled off I’d 100% love to see him come in.
Harvey Vale could be the perfect foil on the left hand side to MvE and even if we go to a back 4 he can play LW or as a 10.

I wouldn’t expect a fee but I do think age is catching up with him.Bidwell shouldn't in theory be all that difficult to move on. A club would probably just take over his existing contract. No chance he generates a fee with 6 months left on his deal.
Wilson’s contract is up in the summer so if any keeper is going it’s him.It’s hard to say without seeing the new manager set up. Assuming Lampard is going 433/4231:
GK: One should go really, probably find a buyer for Collins ideally.
RB: Get a loan in for cover unless the MvE successor is about
LB: If we’re playing 4ATB we need better than either option we have. Move Bidwell on and get someone in.
CB: Needs experience. Move Kitching on if he’s not going to be starting.
DM/CM: Tell Doug to butt out and get the midfielder we’ve been lacking since Hamer left pls. If anyone will take Allen let him go if King whines.
AM: I like Torp but beyond that feels like we don’t have a replacement for Palmer and O’Hare in that role which would be nice. Perhaps another loan.
LW/RW: We’re fine here.
ST: We’re fine here. Ship Tavares off.

Did you watch yesterdays game, let the striker in front of him for the first goal, let the player come round him easily for the second, I think he is too slow to react for being a decent CBI completely concede he can’t do anything else but purely in terms of defending our goal he is quite a long way ahead.
I think Kitchings days are numbered. Fell out of favour with MR and not getting a game with Carr even though we are 3 at the back.I think Thomas kitchhing and binks are all very good players and young enough to iron out issues
Wouldn't be opposed to old head coming in but it's not imperative for me
Agree with all that - apart from the RB loan to cover - you wont get a loan of any quality come here to sit on the bench, its what was covered in the forum by Austin/DK, i think loans could plug all the other gaps though as more likely to get game timeIt’s hard to say without seeing the new manager set up.

yea i think he is high up the list for the next "sale to fund the deck"Ideally we get someone permanent in cos MvE is likely off in the summer I reckon.
Probably ffsWe have to invest in a complete overhaul of the defence. RB is probably ok. I imagine we’ll get rid of Simms if we can. I’d re-invest in two CH’s and a left back.
Just look at Sunderland’s turnaround to demonstrate this. Leadership makes all the difference.Experience, leadership qualities is what is needed.
