    Tats on the right is tracking back well which allows MVE to come forward. That’s a positive. On the left Wright needs to press their right mid when on the retreat. The block of 4 (Thomas - Kitching / Sheaf - Eccles) seem to have “gelled”. I’d like to see O’Hare in place of Wright and Sims...

    Question for the Haji Wright apologists: Would you rather sell him now (I know, window, but for the point of debate) and give MR £5m to get a player or two or keep him? Like this post if you’d keep him Ignore (as you would anyway) if you think he should go

    Should have had a clear pen first half with that handball. No one hates Haji Wright, he’s cost a lot of money and isn’t playing very well. That’s all.

    Brilliant tackle by Wright. Just as good as any I’ve seen at the Butts.

    Great ball Tats. Excellent control by Wright - not his fault he lost it.

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    I’m pretty sure academy kids would have watched the first team play. What’s your point? Anyway. My bad, Haji Wright is absolutely brilliant and anyone who says otherwise is clueless. It’s not his fault when he’s had a bad game, he needs time to learn because no one had ever given him any...

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    This 100% He’s not performed at the level and for a 25 year old who has had top level training in Europe including Germany I’d expect much more technical quality. I mean, he was at the LA Galaxy set up at the same time as Robbie Keane so he’s had the opportunity to study how a striker should...

    It is a tricky one with O’Hare, Play him and he plays well, a biggish team will come in and pay him a big sign on fee if he sits it out until his contract expires. Or, his agent can demand a big sign on fee from us plus big wages to stay. Don’t play him, and I can’t see many biggish clubs...

    Jay DaSilva Signs!

    JDS was a Adi type signing. Any stat chaps know if last game was the first time we didn’t field any ex Chelsea youth (outfield?) players?

    Maybe it’s “sign a contract or you won’t play”. More likely not wanting to bring him in too quick to avoid what happened to JJ, plus I’m struggling to see where he’d play in this set up.

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    I agree that we had to replace our two best players. The problem is that we haven’t replaced them. Obviously, Vik at the end of his development here was probably irreplaceable and Wright hasn’t performed to a high enough level. Hamer has not been replaced and that has cost us and hence the...

    “Lazy”

    I think that people squandering their talent and opportunity is as much an issue as anything else. Bright is a clear example. For balance, so was Kevin Thornton. People bang on that I suggested we looked at Hudlin when he was non-league and local. “If he was any good, why isn’t he playing...

    “Lazy”

    Compared to Dave Bennett (full of running) and Garry Thompson (all action) Cyrille appeared to put in less effort. Also, at WBA Cyrille apparently put in more effort. According to some (I think I read it in Thommo’s book or it might have been a Bennett podcast), Regis was off the rails and more...

    We all know why this is, right? I see you. Oh and why don’t you like Hudlin? I see you. Those who criticise others….. Edit: I’m sure you are not prejudiced in any way but accusing someone on such spurious grounds isn’t cool. See my point?

    “Lazy”

    Looking at yesterday’s game: MVE chased a ball to the by-line where there was a slim chance of getting it. Haji didn’t chase many balls that weren’t to his feet. “We’ll fight to the game is won” is part of our club anthem. I for one want to see players run and chase and press the...
