Wright is in very poor form.
Simms doing OK.
BTA obviously out at the moment, don't know when he'll be back and his goals have come from out wide anyway.
Pretty sure we could've afforded Bamford. He just didn't think he was getting good value.I do wish he’d just come out and say we can’t afford players because what he does say or what comes out makes it sound like he’s making footballing decisions not financial ones. Not helped by successive managers acting like they have no clue what happens with transfers until they’re through the door.
Which is looking an odd decisionPretty sure we could've afforded Bamford. He just didn't think he was getting good value.

Not really given we had 3 strikers for one positionWhich is looking an odd decision
We haven't become shit over night. Find some perspective.Today was one of the easier away games and we were awful and lucky to get a point in the end , we’ve been found out as everything we do has to go through Grimes we need other midfield players to step up and start creating.
We had a game where we had Simms upfront, KKH on one wing and rudoni on the other?Not really given we had 3 strikers for one position
He probably wouldn't have started a game
Bamford on the wing? What?We had a game where we had Simms upfront, KKH on one wing and rudoni on the other?
He would have played 100%
He could have played in a front 2, in the 10. He isn’t a winger so doubt he’d play on the wingBamford on the wing? What?
Does he ever play as a 10? My point is he probably wasn't getting a crack as starting striker anywayHe could have played in a front 2, in the 10. He isn’t a winger so doubt he’d play on the wing
Had BTA? Bamford has played on both wings in his career alsoDoes he ever play as a 10? My point is he probably wasn't getting a crack as starting striker anyway
Ipswich and?Well, except Ipswich who are bang in form and chasing us down.
We're now second in the expected tables which is a tad worrying.
We just need to concentrate on finishing second at this point.Well, except Ipswich who are bang in form and chasing us down.

He has 5 in his last 9Can we forget about Bamford. Bang average journeyman dross. Inflated wages for largely nothing. King is right on this one.
What the owners only role for you is can we afford it or not, regardless of what you’re getting for it? mental take for meThat’s a decision for the manager for me.
what on earth are you waffling aboutI was thinking this, his hedge fund will be making bets one way or the other?
no they haven’t, BTA scored mainly when playing in the 10, behind the main striker
He has my congratulationsHe has 5 in his last 9
Yeah and I'm not buying this "we're not good enough stuff."Relax would be a good place to start.
Our good players haven't suddenly become shite. We're suffering the same as everyone else with illness, suspensions, injuries and fatigue. We still have a big lead and have important players coming back.
Brau is a clown and needs to be out of the squad now. Bidwell can’t even get a game so bring a new LB to compete with JDS.
Wright is not a starter for us. Either someone buys him or he becomes a bench player. He’s a waste of space.
We need a striker urgently in this window. Not big lumps like we currently have.
We need a creative playmaker urgently.
We need wingers as well.
Not sure Rudi is quite back yet. He looked good at Middlesborough when he came on as a sub, same as today.It's been a mixture of things, clearly.
1. Small squad
2. Tiredness
3. Illness
4. Our number 1 striker way out of form and not putting the ball in the back of the net
5. Rudoni, out of form
6. Saka out of form
7. Having to play probably the best side in the league twice within weeks
It's very rectifiable. A few astute signings in this window would really help us regroup and go again.
Keep the faith. I was disappointed with the draw, but looking at the table, it's still all looking very rosy and maybe Rudoni is NOW back on his game at last .
Not if he is on the reported £35k a week at Sheff U.Pretty sure we could've afforded Bamford. He just didn't think he was getting good value.
Thats the problem, unless something changes within the next 2-3 games then we won’t be going to the prem! If that doesn’t happen it’s the inevitable exodus of players at the end of the season! Yet another rebuildThis is my worry with King. I can imagine a scenario where we have one coming in on deadline day at the last minute and that's it.
King is shrewd and I dont think he will want to spend money on players that arent good enough for the prem, if he thinks we can get there with what we have.
6 of his 10 goals have been when he's played wide.
But regardless of whether they were from out wide or from 10, my point was he hasn't scored many up front and hasn't really been seen as a striker this season. Which is why I think we need another striker.
Ellis has 8 goals 2 assists in 800 minutes.whilst I’m still not sure you’re right re 6/10, I can’t say I disagree with you on the striker front if not for any other reason than to add competition to the two arguable underachievers
the only issue is, do you buy based on good enough to get us over the line, or on good enough if we do get over it?
We look fucking knackered and have done last few games. Why are you so against us signing players, are you a masochist?The idea that the team 8 points clear at the top of the league "needs" to bring in four or more players to get through the season just doesn't hold water to me.
The team that started today still has three of the season's best performers (BTA, Torp and Dasilva) yet still to return. It has two of last season's best players (Wright and Rudoni) going through a grim run of form which is not likely to continue at current levels. The squad is lacking proper backup options out wide and could arguably do with some more competition up front, but with 21 games left you can trust this squad to finish the job without needing a major overhaul - that comes in the summer instead.
I'm against us scrambling to build a Championship super-team when we're almost nailed on to be promotedWe look fucking knackered and have done last few games. Why are you so against us signing players, are you a masochist?
