Changed the game v leicester

One of those games. Just about grabbed a draw. Main points - bizarre replacing Sheaf with Latibeaudiere. If Torp can’t do 80 I’d rather have seen Allen. Simms starts ahead of Godden just on presence alone but that’s about it. Kitching superb. Sakamoto and Van Ewijk v good. Torp will be a big...

Loss of Sheaf huge. 50 mins take Lati, Godden and Palmer off for Allen, Simms and Wright

Crikey, yeah, let’s run through that. On your basis I’d say we need a LB, RB, CM x 2 and a CF. Realistic? Of course not. These are professional footballers and can reasonably be expected to operate 10 yards away from their preferred position. Is Tavares Champ standard - probably not. Would we...

Can’t see how we are short of wide attackers. We have Wright, Sakamoto, Palmer, Simms and Tavares. At a stretch Van Ewijk and Dasilva could do a job for a game or two as could Allen.

I’ll have you know he never cheated !! Just never knew the rules! Great draw, winning is a habit so let’s go all out for the quarters - two winnable home games to get there.

Really?? We got a good draw away from home on a ploughed field.

I took this as a good result. It’s difficult to go to the same place in a week and get two wins. We’ll get rid of them in the replay and be in the 5th round of the cup and in the play off mix. What’s the problem?

I think it can be taken as fact that no one wants Simms to fail. We’d all rather he was banging in the goals. But when people say there’s a player in there etc I just can’t see what they’ve seen. I think I’ve seen most of his games for us. I’ve seen one cohesive, footballing moment from him when...

There are two points for me. 1) He wears Sky Blue so I’ll get behind him. 2) He’s a poor player. I think if we’d got Wright prior to him we wouldn’t have signed him. But hey, I’ve cheered on Darby, Jenkinson, Woods, Gayle etc so there’s no reason I won’t do the same for Simms.

Happy with that. We’ll obviously destroy them in the replay. Torp scores and looks good. A decent night really.

Will they also be reporting on the new “hint” dropped by King/Robins which isn’t a hint or new?

Apparently Marks & Spencer at the retail park next to the ground have been told to hold 3 egg mayonnaise, 2 BLT and a chicken sandwich back plus a tub of falafel for a mystery visitor from the CBS tonight. Could be a big signing?

In reality if all that happens is Torp in it’s a good window. Jan window is a nothingness in reality and is 80% rumour, 19% over inflated prices and 1% activity. We’ve picked up a good midfield prospect and lost no-one. Anything else is a bonus

Luton employing the model we would need if we got promoted. Hoover up the best championship talent so that when you get relegated you can bounce back until you can slowly consolidate your position. We’ve already started the cycle thanks to the Gyokeres and Hamer cash. That said I don’t see Sheaf...

Agree, there’s no need to panic. Plenty of forward options

I’ll give you set pieces but Sheaf isn’t far behind Hamer in a lot else - if at all. We’d miss Sheaf a good deal more than Hamer.

As it stands Godden is 32 and is our top scorer. Why would he be leaving?

It wouldn’t be a mammoth loss. We’ve moved on as a club. Fly a kite that says he’s available for £1m in this window and see who bites.

In my opinion he’s quite a long way off being a prem level player. His decision making isn’t top level and he lacks a yard of two of pace. Hamer is actually a good example. A far superior player to O’Hare and he’s barely making an impact at an already relegated club.
