STUHILL

Fatawu and Ricardo I feel meh about a handful of others I dislike a lot more, but Top and Rudkin get my full dislike

Hamza is the same as Luke Thomas and Kasey McAteer - Just about useful as squad fillers, but rarely anything more than that. I'd prefer we didn't need them, but unfortunately we do right now.

-------------------Jakub------------------ Justin--Faes--Vesty--Thomas -------------Winks---Hamza-------- Fatawu--------Bilal-------Mavididi -------------------Ayew--------------- Not a fan of Ayew as a lone striker but can't bring myself to start Daka. Soumare and Skipp should be nowhere near starting. In conclusion... We need to sign some damn players!

What is having one Daka, one Soumare and one Skipp?

watching them tonight, I found myself wondering if they would also struggle in League 1 as well. How did we end up with two of these donuts?!

is Daka still at the club? Not seen him

He is the one to sell. Likely get the most money for him, despite him being our 3rd or 4th choice now. Happy with Faes, Vesty, Nelson, Souttar and a loan deal for a CB to cover until Souttar back. Maybe a LCB who can play LB too. Get Okoli gone and off the wages. He is OK, but still looks clumsy even at this level.

It will be the difference between midtable and a genuine promotion push. We can't go as we are this time. There must be a refresh with a handful of players coming in and a few going out.

I would still start Mavididi for the time being in the league, but have Monga come on most games around the 60th minute mark . He is seriously good, just needs to develop an end product and what an asset.

If you watch him closely when we are in possession, he often moves closer to an opposition player, so that he is not available to receive the ball. He doesn't do this every time, but enough to make me wonder WTF his motivation for doing that is. I just want him out this club forever. I have no idea why Marti is starting him. It is painful to watch.

The absolute bare minimum in this window, is to get a Striker and CM in. We actually need 6 IN, 4 OUT, but we really are midtable at best, if we don't at very least sign a starting striker and CM to play alongside Winks.

I agree, but I am a bit concerned how he will perform when the window closes and he is still here. Looks like a player who would jump at a move away. We will be in some battles this season, and we really need players who want to fight and dig in and enjoy the club being successful. Marti should have a word with him and start him this weekend, and hopefully we will see him out of this childish sulk and enjoying playing for us again.

You can criticise him without writing him off after one poor game. He could be MOTD contender in his next 3 starts. Far too early to say. However, just as with Okoli at the weekend. I have seen enough that I wouldn't start either of them in the league for the time being. As much as I dislike Faes and Vesty. They should be our CB pairing for now. Nelson will get his chance again soon enough.

This is why I wanted an arrogant so and so, who would tell Rudkin and Top that he wants these lot gone whether sold or loaned and wants 6 players IN. Just can't help feel that Marti is going to politely work with what he has got and not rock the boat too much, as this is his biggest ever job. Hoped to be proved wrong, as we know that is unlikely to work with this squad of players with lack of quality and poor attitudes scattered throughout. Starting Soumare and Skipp is very concerning. If he does that again in the league, then I will begin to have doubts about his ability.

Starting 11 -------------------Jakub------------------ Ricardo--Faes--Vesty--New LB -------------Winks---New CM-------- Fatuwa--------Bilal-------Mavididi -------------------New CF--------------- additional x2 CMs required plus another CB Okoli, Soumare, Skipp sold/loaned out 6 players IN - 3-4 players OUT Feels like that is the best we can achieve in the window, as long as we hold onto players we want to keep and get Winks/Faes out their sulk.

It would be in his interest to demand we sell or loan out a number of players, and to give him the opportunity to bring in 4-5 starters in this window. That might be seen as a big job, but it feels like we are a midtable championship club right now with the low quality and attitudes with much of our squad.

hmm tough one. He is currently our best CM, and by some margin compared to Soumare, Skipp and Hamza. He has changed the games from the bench both times and looked as good as he did under Maresca in these two appearances. However, he is on a mega sulk right now and that is with a new Manager reset too. I imagine his agent is pushing to get him a move. But, we aren't going to get much money for him and he should be the last CM we sell out of the current lot we have. Marti needs to earn his stripes and get him out of this childish sulk, start him at the weekend and hopefully all is well again. If Marti can't do that, then I don't think I want someone here who has a strong dislike for the club and/or fans, that he can't get over. We would have to roll the dice, ship out Winks, Soumare and Skipp... which is a big job! But don't see much alternative, unless we want a midtable finish at best.

I think some posters get very defensive over our youth players. I am not seeing much joy in simply stating that Nelson is having a mare. Most would much prefer he was doing well. I think there is a counter reaction to the over hyping though, which seems a bit OTT as well. Hope he stays with us this season and gets a handful of starts in the league whilst also starting all our cup games. Tonight will be an important lesson and experience for him. Hope he has a better 2nd half.

I don't know what Marti expects when starting Skipp and Soumare together. If he starts them together in the league again, then that is a huge red flag over his ability I think we will win this game, but will come from the bench

Cue the extreme views from both sides... I think he is probably our 3rd best CB currently, but has potential to be a lot better. Not having a good game, and Faes and Vesty should be starting in the league for now. Sell Okoli and bring in a 4th choice on loan, with Harry Souttar due back around Christmas to cover injuries/form dips

I think Skipp would grow in confidence and be a different player if we all chipped in and got him a hair transplant from Turkey It is clearly bothering our £25million midfield maestro

If you watch Soumare when we have possession, he actually closes down a Huddersfield player and makes himself unavailable for a pass

Faes and Vesty still our best pairing at this level. I know we all want it to be Nelson +1, but he needs more time.

Not in the Championship. He is still ranked as one of the best at this level. If we had better options than Soumare, Skipp, Hamza, then maybe it wouldn't impact us to sell him, but currently, he is our best CM at the club and we are unlikely to get much for him, so why sell.

Don't need a winger, especially not an average one. We have Fatuwa/McAteer on the right and Mavididi/Monga on the left We need an actual striker.
