Realist Guy In The Room

Just a lovely finish on 0.58

Foreign midfielder, Jan transfer window. That's about it.

Paid in instalments for the next 50 years.

The thing with this is, whilst he's done well, he's done well in THIS side. A side where we pretty much dominate every single game. At a higher level where in most games, a large part of it he'll spend on the back foot, would he have anywhere near the same impact on a game? I'd lean on the side of no. If an offer of £5m came in (especially given Abdul isn't going to the AFCON), I think that would be decent enough to accept and free up a squad place.

Indicative of so many games this season where we should have put about 5 past them but were a little wasteful. Would really like to see Cannon start the next game. He looks eager and definitely with some minutes will come into his own. Casadei wasn't overly bad either but really needs to do more to justify the hype he gets from Chelsea fans. Mavididi and Fatawu are an absolute joy to watch at the minute. We're just fVck!ng incredible really.

We made them look bang average in that first half and had we been a little more decisive, could easily have been 3 up at the break. 2nd half was frustrating as you could see exactly what would happen. Endlessly and needlessly giving the ball away in our own half under relatively little pressure will only ever result in one thing. Enzo really has been excellent for us on the whole and yesterday was probably the first time i've questioned anything he's done. The subs were bizarre. Cannon would have been better than Nacho as he's more of a physical presence and in that sort of game, Hamza would have been perfect rather than the increasingly hapless Casadei. Shame as for me, had we held on for the win, I think that pretty much would have been it. Now there's a bit of extra pressure to not lose on Friday.
