That can’t be true, we were told he’s a passive cuck.
That can’t be true, we were told he’s a passive cuck.Heard Sheaf lost his shit yesterday post game
The pressure on him to be the saviour has also been put on him internally not just us fans and he is getting hugely frustrated with the shite around him
As mentioned above he's having to talk wingers etc through the basics of the game, (whoch is clearly affecting his own game) as is Bidwell and both are getting hugely fucked off now. Wouldn't be surprised to see him go in Jan tbh
Also, feel for Eccles who is genuinely taking these performances to heart. As a cov kid and fan he feels he needs to be the man to change things but alongside Sheaf and Bidwell it's not being listened too
No because we’d end up being even more screwed.ok so if we could sell the following for the fees mentioned in january and rebuild with hopefully the Gyokeres money would you take it
Haji £5m
Simms £4m
MVE £8m
Kitching £1m
EMC £2m
Gyokeres money £6m
so in effect £26m to rebuild effectively needing
3 full backs
1 centre back
2 midfielders
2 forwards for that money
So it's another recruitment fuck up?
The CM on the bench isn't good enough to put on for 10 or 15 minutes in place of a tired player on a booking?
What a state of affairs.

But that's what it will end up if it's not sorted,this too and fro from the fan selection is quite frankly a Put off (There's a lot of people on here that need to wait for the emotion of losing to wear off before they post. Not 2 months ago people were saying they'd turn down £10mill for Simms, £15mill for Haji and £15mill for Sheaf. We have a bad start to the season and all of a sudden they've lost 50-75% of there fees.
Ellis Simms a 23Y/O 6ft3 powerful English ST with 19 goals in his first full season in the Champ is worth £5mill because of a poor start.
Haji Wright a 26Y/O 6ft3 US International winger with 19 goals in his first campaign in England is worth £7mill because of a slow start.
Get a grip fellas.
If it's true about having to talk wingers through the basics, what the hell are all the coaches doing? Apart from sitting in a row in the dugout like a load of vultures on a the branch of a tree.Heard Sheaf lost his shit yesterday post game

If you buy a centre forward and play them wide left don’t be surprised if they don’t know the position.Heard Sheaf lost his shit yesterday post game

To merely counter the point made about Haji, he was deployed as a LFW at his old club - he had a lot of success there, with a deep-laying playmaker (can’t recall his name) pumping long balls over the top for him to utilise.If you buy a centre forward and play them wide left don’t be surprised if they don’t know the position.
EMC doesn’t play wide right, Wright doesn’t play wide at all.
Is he expected to track back and do defensive stuff with the US?To merely counter the point made about Haji, he was deployed as a LFW at his old club - he had a lot of success there, with a deep-laying playmaker (can’t recall his name) pumping long balls over the top for him to utilise.
Then, if the build up was from the right, Haji would break into the box. Essentially what he did for us last season, with success.
He plays there for the USMT doesn’t he? His assist for Pepi the other night came from a wide position.
Haji is more than adept at being effective in the wide forward role. I would point new tactical input this season, that’s rendering him only sporadically successful so far this season. Think back to last season, and how shit he was in a front two…
Wright plays the position perfectly as an inside forward.If you buy a centre forward and play them wide left don’t be surprised if they don’t know the position.

Amazing how dense a bad run of results can make people look , sorry mateLet’s be blunt. Bar MvE every penny of the Vik and Gus money has been wasted hasn’t it?

There's plenty of time to get a return on all of them tbhWho else do you think we’ll get a return on?
On the ball Haji is the best attacking threat we have. Capable of Prem league class. Scored plenty of goals in his Cov career. What's not to like. The players around him & the coaching staff need to get him on the ball more often.To merely counter the point made about Haji, he was deployed as a LFW at his old club - he had a lot of success there, with a deep-laying playmaker (can’t recall his name) pumping long balls over the top for him to utilise.

Wright, Simms, SakamotoWho else do you think we’ll get a return on?
Wright, Simms, Sakamoto
Probably Bassette & Thomas
Maybe even Dovin and Torp.
also, just because we don’t get a “return” on a player doesn’t mean the money is wasted.
All depends ultimately how much of the money in those players is set up in conditions on performance.It does if you’re entire transfer strategy is based around getting a return.
Maybe Dovin if he comes good, I can’t see any of the others.
Szmodics would have sold for no more than £1m 2 seasons ago, and only interest would have been from a mid to higher championship team at best.There's plenty of time to get a return on all of them tbh

Haji is on for 15/16 league goals again without even playing that well- if he hit 20 this year he’d obviously be worth more than £7.7m.It does if you’re entire transfer strategy is based around getting a return.

Just think how many mediocre over priced players we could get for that sort of money !No because we’d end up being even more screwed.
That’s the spirit!Just think how many mediocre over priced players we could get for that sort of money !
At the moment Haji isn't being played as an out and out forward. He's being played as a winger who largely doesn't support his fullback, In fact I don't think he has the engine or physique to do that.On the ball Haji is the best attacking threat we have. Capable of Prem league class. Scored plenty of goals in his Cov career. What's not to like. The players around him & the coaching staff need to get him on the ball more often.
Nah. Playing on the left as an inside forward is his best position. And how many goals are we actually conceding down the left? Not many, our right hand side is the much bigger issue.At the moment Haji isn't being played as an out and out forward. He's being played as a winger who largely doesn't support his fullback, In fact I don't think he has the engine or physique to do that.
So at the moment he's pretty much a luxury player.
If he's played it should be upfront as a two.
Time for a young un to step up!We evidently have loads of quality in the squad and it's batshit to act like we need to reset the whole club
No reason why something subtle like a change in formation or the addition of a leader can't happen and make everything click

197cm is closer to 6 ft 6. Haji isn't 6ft 4 either, and he definitely will weigh more than 78kgs, but other than that, spot on.Hasnt the Physique !!??
He is 6ft 4" !! & 12 stone 4Lb !!
& I don't apologise for the imperial measurements. I mean 1.97metres ? & 78Kgs ??
Meaningless Euro stats.
Yeah the 197 should of read 193 (error) which is 6ft 4 or as near as...& the stats say he is197cm is closer to 6 ft 6. Haji isn't 6ft 4 either, and he definitely will weigh more than 78kgs, but other than that, spot on.
78Kgs 12stone 4lb..I reckon that's correct.Yeah the 197 should of read 193 (error) which is 6ft 4 or as near as...& the stats say he is
