The Hamer replacement makes sense, that’s unanimously agreed I’m sure. However two wingers is both exciting and possibly unnecessary?! Going to be left with three frustrated attacking players on the bench each week - and it’ll be a shame if two of them are ours. Obviously anyone who improves...

After the positive performance on Saturday I’m really looking forward to tomorrow. It was great to see us play more direct and offensively - if we play like that tomorrow I wouldn’t be surprised at another comfortable victory. I would like to see Simms again as I thought he looked good against...

I like Sakamoto and I want to see him given more game time, but I’d actually keep the same three as last game. And if I was going to change it I certainly wouldn’t drop Simms, he was the best of the three last game and was bizarrely subbed. My other possible change would have been MVE for Lati...

The lack of creative playmaker is the huge gap we need to address. Those writing players off - predominantly the front two - clearly miss that context. Striker’s performances are reliant on the service they receive, and so far this year we’ve lacked a decisive final ball and been asking Sheaf...

Yea the relegation battle talk is frustrating and melodramatic. We’ve been a bit shit, players have underperformed but in reality it’s still relatively early into the season. We may just have stumbled into a formation with accompanying tactics which suit us and there have been signs of...

Simms was good on Saturday and had the beating of the LB - and he knew it as he looked confident and wanted the ball against him. Taking him off was mental. Wright was a rollercoaster; at times looked weak, positionally poor and not up for it, other times he showed good attributes; good runs...

Agreed. It wasn’t necessarily a comment on ability, I just wish I saw him as Kitching not Maguire (or anyone else), it’s disconcerting for a few seconds!!

Was it? Fair enough didn’t realise it was Wright in the moment. Second part still stands though; I know players are told to play to the whistle but they often don’t for offside calls.

Best I have seen them both play and you’d expect an understanding between them and Collins too. However I cannot not see Maguire in Kitching and I wish I didn’t! His physical appearance, running style, mannerisms etc!

Soz, I’ll say something which makes more sense; MR Out, Jackett In.

Surprised that absolute shambles of an offside call in the first half, which somehow got reversed in real time, has not been mentioned. Their striker was clearly miles off, linesman flagged and about 30 seconds later put his flag back down. Stoke went onto shoot and it was goal bound. Massive...

Another unnecessarily negative and inaccurate thread. Yes, we need them to put their opportunities away but I thought we looked a threat offensively today, especially second half. I wanted Sakamoto on but not for Simms, he had the absolute beating of their LB all game and looked really up for...

Yesterday was a significant improvement with a number of positive takeaways. The glaring negative was that we missed too many good chances and really should have won. But if you aren’t coming away from that with some level of positivity and feeling our form might be about to change your...

We’ve stepped it up and looking good, but we all know we have to put one away else it’ll come back to bite us.

We’re looking better offensively. Simms, Godden, Bidwell, Kitching, Eccles all looking good. Wright has to offer more. And ‘we’re better without Sheaf’ is looking the ridiculous comment it is again today.

This is absolutely 4-2-3-1, at least when off the ball. Can’t say when on it as we haven’t had the ball. Not sure that’s particularly Wright and Simms game, Wright being heavily coached by Sheaf.

Different queues for different gates.

Don’t want to keep moaning; but queues are absolutely horrendous. Embarrassing we can’t cater for big crowds. We’ve had enough practise.

I don’t mind a flat defensive back four if the majority of the six ahead are creative and offensive. Our midfield three isn’t exactly that, so it’s disappointing we’ve not started MVE. Still, Sakamoto and COH to come in will be positive. As long as we don’t wait until 75 minutes. We know Rose...

Agreed - it was the point I made earlier, we’ve gone with a more attacking formation yet found a way to not release the hand brake again.
