On my way to London now for the start of a great weekend! 👌🏻

My concern with Mowatt is his durability, he’s likely to miss 1/4 of the season year in, year out. In my view, if we keep Sheaf we need to get a player who’s more of a playmaker besides him. If that’s Torp, great and that’s TBC as things stand. It’s been my view all season that we’ve lacked...

As I was eligible to get one, I wouldn’t pass up on something so undervalued. In terms of willingness to pay, I’d have had no complaints if tickets were £400-500 back then either.

I imagine a lot of people complaining about ST prices would find the money if we in the prem. £350 is on the cheaper end of ST prices. I get that it’s a lot a of money for people, but £22 per game (at the £500 PL package price) is still good value. Operating costs have increased and the sums...

No one confidently believes Man U will walk over us. Even Man U fans I’ve spoken to seem to think we’ll ‘definitely’ score.

With both players, it’s hard to determine if they are reliable goal scorers or if it was a run of exceptional form. Both players hitting career highs in shortened appearances. To use an example, Godden looks like he’s had a good season. 9 goals in 37 games looks really good. In reality, aside...

You’re right that 4-4-2 isn’t going to be the best Plan A. As a Plan B, 4-4-2 would be great option, particularly when trailing games. We definitely need different midfield options to facilitate it.

You can’t rely on just 2 goal scorers. Iirc, Robins spoke of needing 3.5 goal scorers in the starting eleven (defined as 10+ goals) back in the L2 days. After Wright and Simms, who are our consistent goal scorers in our team? Perhaps Sakamoto or COH at a push. We need an AM and a winger to...

Throwing tantrums befitting a toddler… We’re a work in progress, patience is the key here.

As well, we've given up a lot space in midfield too - defending is a real team effort. Some experience added to this team would be beneficial. Not McFadz experience, a player in their prime who improves us who has good leadership qualities.

This summer I imagine we’ll actually recruit the personnel to play 4-2-3-1 rather than 3-4-1-2. Get 1 winger, CM and an AM through the door and we look instantly for it.

Writing off players months into a multi-year contract is also a bad idea. That’s been proven time and time again.

I really hope our recruitment team is more inventive than the posters on this thread. Sign ex-players is not a good recruitment policy.

Last season proved that with a good defence, you don’t need a top GK. The more pressing concerns remain the outfield players. We’ve conceded far too many good chances and too many goals compared to last season. It’s still 3 clean sheets in 2024; relegation threatened Stoke and Rotherham and in...

Agreed. Showed some really good glimpses. He’d just signed at the start of the Norwegian pre-season, Sheaf gets injured so he’s thrust into the team, picks up 1-2 knocks and is out the team for a month. It’s been a tough start, and with a pre-season with us under his belt you’d hope he can...
