I don't have a name, was only told the positions of the 2 players we were talking with. That was CM + RB.Who’s the CM we are interested in Jimmy? That’s not the Chelsea lad
Would argue this is an Big plus for Mark when you consider he brought him in via loan, saw something no one else did and developed him to where he dominatesFeels a bit like hiring Robins cos he signed Gyokeres.
Maybe he will come and bid for BTA thenWould argue this is an Big plus for Mark when you consider he brought him in via loan, saw something no one else did and developed him to where he dominates

We were shocking in that first half.People putting all the blame on Dabo for the Luton play off final defeat, I can't help feeling he should of done so much better for their goal, he should of just fouled Adebayo who took the piss with him
We were shocking in that first half.
I was only talking about it yesterday. Agreed it seemed we were completely over awed.Looked like we just froze. I was amazed how poor we were.
Ha haThis tonks guy for Tamworth looks good and has a dangerous throw. Sheaf replacement till the end of the year?
Spot on, completely over awed. BNC pretty much only positive from 1st half. So lucky only 1.0.I was only talking about it yesterday. Agreed it seemed we were completely over awed.
I also agree with whoever posted on here the other day…if Hamer hadn’t been injured we’d have won it.
No it was James McConnellI see Tyler Morton started for Liverpool yesterday, was he the player we had lined up on deadline day ? Assume if the Rak Sakyi links are true we’re not going to look at that again.
Ah, ok. Looks like he came on as a subNo it was James McConnell

Hindsight, should have gone 2 up top from start, to negate Luton long ball diagonal they just played at will.
Yep hamer stays on pitch, we win it, no doubt.
Really? He’s on loan. So his wages won’t change. And I guarantee you if they had dropped he wouldn’t be going.Absolutely not true. The lad who’s just gone on loan from Roma to Sunderland went because of the manager
He featured 35 times for a kid on loan at a decent level I do think that’s good.Good loan?
He lost his place at Christmas and couldn’t get back in.
And now he can’t get minutes at Kilmarnock
You’d hope it’s a recall to get him minutes elsewhere or get him gone, instead of being part of the squad

They did. But as said hindsight allowed them. Playing Vik on own allowed there centre half’s to each have freedom unchallenged to launch long balls which we’re causing carnage.We got schooled first half though. Luton completely battered us first half
Leaving Rovers just 12 months after joining …. Despite some people insisting he should never have been allowed to leave Cov.
Someone I know mentioned it on Friday, who knows it's not like he's signing for a fee, he will join on a free.Heard something?
Seems a good shout, was one I punted earlier but think it would mean we would need to shift to a back three to get the best out of him as a lwb.Someone I know mentioned it on Friday, who knows it's not like he's signing for a fee, he will join on a free.
Work under Lampard or move up north and sign for Sunderland is what I was told. Keep an eye out for this one tho, this is the sort of player we would bring in, develop and make a profit.
He's not gonna come in tho and be an instant hit, decent young player with much more left to learn and build on in his career. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this did end up happening tbh.

Maybe when Wright and EMC is back we could line up in a 5-2-3 like he did at Chelsea?
Yep, would need to sign a true box to box to make it work.The 3 sounds exciting, the 2 gives me the fear!
He shot Plum with the Revolver in the KitchenWhat has he done to make you so suspicious of him?

Don’t know, not always that simple. On paper Sunderland but depends on if they’ll use him, if the player wants to move etcSunderland promotion chasing , or us which would you go for .
IMO, we have the better team at full strength. Not much has changed personnel-wise between this year and last.Sunderland promotion chasing , or us which would you go for .

Only if he appoints a good one.Doug hasn’t got a clue what he’s doing, need a director of football to come in asap! Bling is useless
First half of the season until the car crash, then couldn't get back in. Very little game time in Scotland.I imagine that recalling Burroughs will be the cover for MVE, whilst I’m not overly thrilled with it, the lad had a good loan at Lincoln last season.
the worrying rumour is it will be AustinOnly if he appoints a good one.
Haven’t heard this. Where you seen it?the worrying rumour is it will be Austin
It is a transition period now, but it should not have been. Virtually same team that did well last season until we ran out of steam. Sure we lost O'Hare, but before his injury EMC was starting to fire. Tatsu injuries have not helped.Contrary to the masses, as time ticks by, I actually don't think we need to bring in many or even any, part of the problem is we've been overloaded in some positions and have rotated players and positions too much which has not allowed anyone to settle. Lampard has only been in for a few weeks and is still reviewing the resources he has at his disposal. In my opinion, the players are a talented bunch and just need to settle down, gain some continuity and confidence.
Lati is a good professional but I think him leaving could help settle things down in both defence and midfield as we can stop trying to slot him into different positions and instead leave the others to build partnerships on the pitch, it will take time and require enough patience for the players to own their mistakes when they happen. For example, a back two or three made up of Thomas, Binks and Kitchen, I think will become pretty strong once they get a run of games together, and while we still need a stonger midfield, I really rate Torp, especially as he seems to have become stronger, more physical, and vocal, he will only improve. Rudoni clearly has talent and works hard, and isn't afraid to get stuck in, while Eccles is steady and reliable as is Allen, but neither are quite dynamic enough to lift the teams performance level or be match winners, and thats what we need. Add an experienced head into the mix and we've got a talented midfield.
Losing Lati and Sheaf (more likely to injury than sale) could actually change the dynamics and help to balance out the team, clearing the way for other players to step up and take responsibility.
Then all of the forwards, including BTA, have a lot to offer in my opinion, I think we have a good mix talent, it's just finding the right combination and sticking with it for a run of games.
The only thing we lack is experience and some belief, but this only comes with time, I also think the players need to back each other more, and build some spirit. If we add anything it needs to be this, and preferably in a CM position to help steady things.
To me this is transition season number 2 followingon from last year where we probably overacheived, and therefore the less in and outs the better, just the addition of one or two calm heads to pull it all together, I think next season we'll see a different team.
I also think Lampard has a point to prove and that we could be the team that turns his management career around, I like what I've seen from him so far, his passion is something we've lacked for a long time.
Whether you guy's agree is your opinion but some of the abuse and knee jerk reaction towards the team and especially particular individuals is embarrassing and naive. It's also pretty clear that some of the apparent ITK info is at best made up of 5% truth, 95% fantasy to fuel egos, 2+2 does not equal 5.
Nothing happens overnight in football and nobody is an instant and consistent success, so as frustrating as it is, we have to be patient in the knowledge that the skillset is there we just need to manage it properly to acheive success.
Whatever way you look at it, we are in a much better place than we have been for years especially when you compare the players we have now to those a few years ago, we should recognise that fact and get behind the team and management, including the owners.
