Torp next to Eccles or Kelly will see us through. Torp has shown he has a creative and forward thinking skill set, so him next to a steady partner who will sit and do the other stuff will work. We need to avoid two purely defensive minded players in there as it’ll stifle us.

Siem Reap is great. I’ve still got (and wear!) a top from ‘Angkor What?’ Bar. Can’t remember the bar but it’s a cool top! We hired bikes while we were there and discovered a crocodile farm. I won’t expand but it’s definitely an experience. Prior to Siem Reap we had taken a coach to...

Don’t get the Simms/Palmer comparisons, they’re different players in different positions with different skill sets. People need to get on board with Simms. Criticism is based on unrealistic expectations or pure bias.

Consecutive games where we’ve not looked quite on it. But even saying that it’s poor individual decision which has had a significant impact on the result. I’m as pissed off as others, but let’s not lose the plot. Play offs are very much still on.

Sakamoto fouled THREE times in the same dribble - advantages played but no bookings!

None of our attackers have tbf, we’re bypassing midfield as their press is panicking us. Most vulnerable I’ve seen Kitching look too - not even about their striker per say, he just looks a bit off it.

Frantic pace so far and we’re mostly on the back foot with some decent, but wasted, counters.

Also, Simms to score, but will still get slated on here later.

Also get the feeling it’s one of those games where Allen comes in from nowhere and has a stormer.

Excited for that team. Interesting to see how it’ll play out without a naturally defensive player outside the four 5 (and even MVE is questionable!). Looking forward to it.

Appreciate all Godden has done, great servant and an incredible goal scoring record etc etc etc. But, and even regardless of recent anonymity, this isn’t a game for him. We’re going to need to occupy their defenders, hold up the ball and counter fast - none of those tactics scream Godden.

I get the risk with free agents but there’s a few decent players who are worth a short term contract to have around the squad for depth. While not match fit, if they’re professionals they should have a good level of fitness so shouldn’t be months to get up to speed. You’d think it’s a low cost...

Not sure we can trust your judgment in this thread tbh, your Dad is from Norwich after all.

I know this is the holiday 2023 thread but I suggest it’s best we carry this one on (and maybe amend the title) rather than start a new one, so useful advice, tips and recommendations aren’t lost. We had a week’s holiday at the start of the year with the kids which was great, but tiring! So...

Not sure I fully get the clamour to start Wright, he looked off the pace on Tuesday. Defensively he was sloppy too and left us exposed down our left side a few times. It’s understandable as he’s been out for a while so isn’t going to be immediately match sharp but I’d go eotj almer again and...

Not much more to be said that hasn’t already - and that’s testament to him. SBT is rarely United on opinions of players but the unanimous positive messages are recognition of his contribution to our rise. Sentimental I know but in the absence of a proper send off I do hope we get a goodbye message.

Simms added something when he came on. He was far more involved and gave them something to worry about for the first time all game. Didn’t see his celebration but so what? He’s showing passion/emotion/attitude whatever you want to call which he’s been criticised for. He needs to play games...

Massively disappointing- poorest performance for a while. I hope anyone who ever questioned the impact of Sheaf was watching tonight.

Best thing about that goal was rather than celebrate the team used the time to discuss tactics. Even they know it isn’t quite right (despite the goal).

I like Eccles but he isn’t Sheaf.
