Think this should be our starting XI for the season, swapping Thomas for the Finnish lad and Aluko or Joseph at right back with the other new experienced cb, Alves on the left for Watson

Has to be such an advert for the midfield without Skipp, they look more mobile and the interchanging between Braybrooke and Page is causing Ipswich issues.

Page in the 6 not Braybrooke is interesting

Braybrooke does well could be the start of him in the 6 which would then mean a lot more Page

We 100% have not had a bid in for Faes and are scrambling to find someone to take him. Watford or Turkey for next to nothing, maybe Belgium

McAteer is better than the Notts County/Burton lads who have made him look amateur last couple of weeks, there is no hope, he is crap. I’m usually the type who believes that if a player isn’t performing it is almost always because they aren’t in the right situation, but with him I just can’t imagine the right situation or style that wouldn’t have him look awful. Maybe as a LWB with a really really really good LCB and a big striker for him to just cross at

Devils advocate as I am by no means a Martin fan, but how much control over transfers did he actually have? From what I have seen with Southampton which will be less than you it seems recruitment is entirely separate from the manager

Last Pearson had an orgy that led to us winning the league, more of the same please

Being reported a few L1 teams are trying to get Rory Wilson on loan from Villa, could we be one?

Might be wrong but don’t we have to apply and appeal and be rejected on both for a WP before we can apply an Esc place to a player? May just be that process has moved a bit slower

With regards to this Everton are an outlier because Palace could’ve beat them 3/4-0 on another day, Mateta missed two genuine sitters. Also have to take in to account the teams and who they’re playing against. We are not going to be able to win against Burton at home playing how Hull beat United, just wouldn’t work at all. Think we need to be dominant in possession the problem right now is most of our possession is in our own half because Martin plays really narrow and we have two cbs and a cdm who are shambolic to not good passers of the ball and so we just don’t break lines and constantly trap ourselves in. We really do need to find the mid point, you can be aggressive and direct without pumping the ball in behind and surrendering possession

I really hope whilst the medical team/permits are going we have started to work on other things, we do not have the time for a signing or sale every 2/3 days, we need to get moving

Would be far too good of a signing for us

If he is he has said we want to sign Willy Boly too- makes sense as far as location is concerned, not sure I’m a fan of signing another nearly 40 has been

Nice to have a player signing and fans are genuinely upset they have gone for footballing reasons rather than nostalgia, always a good sign

I do, and tbh I don’t hate Choudhury as an option, thought he was alright on the weekend. My post was more two separate points, I think he sees Choudhury as the primary back up for Braybrooke and I also think it’d be insane to sell Page

He wasn’t good but I refuse to moan about anything but our moron defense and baldy in cdm, convinced the attackers will look way better if Hilary a cdm and another cb come in and aren’t shite

How do our keepers all seem to have this habit of being ****ing massive and looking all of 5’8 in game

Really thought this was a backup, even on a free there were far far better options. Either start Stol or sell him and buy a new starter, absolutely no use for him to be sat around on our bench except his value depreciating every week

I think it’s Braybrooke/Choudhury. They seem to be Martins favoured options in that role, then Skipp and I’d assume new lad for the 6. He seems to value the defensive side over anything in that role, which is probably not Page’s strongest suit. Would be clinically insane to sell him mind you, way things are going especially with how Cullen has looked you’d think he’ll be in with a shout very soon at that role if he can’t do the defensive side of the other

To be fair Okoli did all of that for the second Burton goal and also plays football like he has just learnt to walk, so it sounds like an upgrade

Think this graph articulates quite well that we have stepped to the next level fan base wise, considering we have maintained a good chunk of the attendance. Think for Ipswich to gain that aspect on us they will need a few years in the premier league, just because of the outreach that provides nowadays. To me we are more in the grouping of a Forest/Brighton (Brighton get bad press because they’re newer but have a massive catchment and have a good sized following now) edit- would also throw a handful of upper championship teams into that group like Southampton)

Nico Schira has come out and said two Italian clubs interested including Cagliari. Always loved Cagliari I have, actually have their kit from a few years back, about two sizes too small. Will wear it around Lestoh like a tank top if they take Winks and Okoli in the same window

Maybe we push through the reg early today and announce later? Would make sense for him to play, Okoli and Souttar look bad enough with a full summers rest, I fear what they’d look like after 3 90’s in a week. Start Gray and this bloke tomorrow

So we do seem to have a little bit of money to spend then
