League One team at home

We would finally have someone in our attack who can actually win headers from goal kicks since Fatawu got injured I love this kind of low risk signing Annoyingly FBRef is comparing his percentile stats to midfielders even though he is a winger but if you compare his per 90 stats this season to Fatawu last season he is quite close in most, and better in a few! Cyriaque Irié on the left, Fatawu last season on the right

Surely Amani Richards will be back with us soon so we can find him another loan? Found nothing about him being sent back and his loan was until the end of the season

Todays Results - Saturday 11th January FA Cup 3rd Round: Tom Cannon (7.4 + 1 goal - 76 mins) - Stoke City 2-1 Sunderland AET Amani Richards (not in squad) - Exeter City 3-1 Oxford United

Surely he has finally realised we need to start Facundo and Bilal together as often as possible going forward If he really wants to drop one of the 3 from today for someone like Ayew or McAteer it should be Mav

But the club wanted to develop him as a centre back? It was him at the time who didn’t want to do it (and still ended up becoming one)

Pretty sure it has been said that Bassey left because at the time he was a left back but we wanted to develop him as a centre back and he didn’t want that so sodded off to Rangers

Ruud Van Nistelrooy Post Match Van Nistelrooy on game “A performance where you can score six goals is always a good performance. It’s not easy, especially against a QPR side that’s very well managed, on and off the ball and on a great run of form. To be able to score six against them is a compliment to the team.” Full-strength team? “I shared with the players that exactly six weeks ago, we started working together. A lot has happened. Immediately we have to step into the Premier League together, implementing new ideas, the way of playing, the way of training, the way of training, the way we do things in the different phases of the game, getting to know each other there and also off the pitch. “I wanted to continue in that development with the team and not make too many changes in that sense. I feel we are in a process where we are getting better, doing things better, and in a certain way. That’s why I wanted to continue that.” Everybody can go again vs Palace? “When you have the advantage of being 4-2 up early in the game, you can start to take players off. That was a big benefit for the games to come. The triple substitution in minute 58, it means that we can keep players fresh and get others in good minutes. Kasey came back on after his injury, so that’s the complete package. I’m delighted with the game today.” Vardy scored on his birthday - fresh for Wednesday? “He gets older in numbers but he doesn’t look like he gets older! When I see him every day in training, the way he handles the 90 minutes over the past weeks… Today the 60 minutes were perfect really. He’ll be fresh again on Wednesday.” Buonanotte and El Khannouss? “The third goal I enjoyed the most. It was a great move with a lot of movement and co-ordination that we try to work on. When things come off like that, it’s a great satisfaction. Both players are young, very talented and gifted. Two assists for Bilal and Facundo with a goal and an assist on the free-kick, for them it was a productive day as well.” Justin? "I think JJ had some criticism and he handled it in the perfect way, not only by scoring two but having an excellent performance off the ball, on the ball as well. He deserves that. He’s very reliable in that sense of how he lives his profession, how he works and how he trains. I’m happy he could play like this today Coulibaly? "We can tell [you] things when it's 1000% sure on new players. At the moment, there's no news." Want a new right-back? "I've said before, I won't go into details on positions. It's important to keep those cards in front of you as a club and manager. When deals are done, the players can be presented, then it's the time to talk about it." Growing more confident on deals? “We're working on different possibilities, in different positions. Some are in different situations, but hopefully we can [get deals done]."

Bet there were some great limbs in Plymouth end for that

If only we had even just 1 kid on the bench, absolutely perfect opportunity for some decent minutes

5-2! JJ

Winks off for Skipp Vardy off for Daka

I suppose Ruud / the club are making it very clear they don’t want him

Probably going to have to watch the 2nd half on the monitors in the concourse because we are getting soaked from the amount of water coming off the roof ffs

Going to end up being 60+ minutes for most of our starters when we have 2 important league games in the next week, Ayew and someone like Skipp are definitely going to start at least 1 of them

Muppets

3-1!! Facundo pass out wide, and then gets on the end of the cross

2-1! Stephy scored and won the ball high up for the attack

wtf was JJ doing lmao

A rotated QPR side as well

That was diabolical from us having JJ move up then, so much free space for Chair

Vardy should’ve scored

Struggling against a midtable Championship side who changed over half their squad

More likely to get the boot than walk

Probably worse as it was us that passed it directly into the space this time rather than a clearance
