I am a bit worried that his passing seems worse than it was last time in the championship. Not sure if it's a coaching issue but he seems to have lost his composure on the ball.

Don't think he would have kept us up but would have saved us £13mil on Okoli (and £7.5mil the year before on Coady if we trusted him then)

likely to stay at Newport.

How can anyone have seen the Sheffield United game and say that Begovic should start again at any point this season?

How refreshing is it to have a centreback that isnt prone to defensive errors? Feels very safe with him at the back.

Hermansen did that hospital pass a few times when he was here, it happens.

He didn't use to be that way.

Wtfff

Like clockwork Ayew actually does a good player after this

He should hook him at half time

Almost like pressing is impossible when you have a mardy Winks jogging around.

Sadly this is correct, Evans could be better if he was given a run in the side.

All that money spent on strikers and they still starting with George Hirst

Good new on Ramsey, looked impressive before his injury.

We should have a look at Wayne Rooney. Retired 4 years ago but only 40 and used to be a world class player, if we can get him fit he will at least be better than Daka and Carranza

Id completely forgotten he has just come back from a life threatening car crash at 35. If he'd broken his leg playing football that's one thing but Antonio really should be retired after an accident like that at his age, why are we considering this.

He was a nightmare for our defenders to play against a few years ago but I understand he's washed now? We dont need more experienced pros running down their career here, we need to be thinking of the future and developing the young talent we have in Monga, Evans and Hutchinson who will be competing for the same positions. The win now approach at the expense of squad planning does not work.

You're clearly watching a different player to me, Winks doesnt show frustration, he shows apathy and a lack of effort. If he was frustrated and giving it his all despite the manager then im sure everyone on here would back him. As someone who cant stand him when he played like he did against Hull, leaving his all on the pitch, I had to hold my hands up and commend the tenaciousness he showed that day. Sadly that's a rarity for him and he quite often doesnt apply himself, pulls out of tackles and doesnt track runners. When you look at Jordan James next to him you can see the real difference that a player applying themselves makes and Winks does not do that. He has been awful for 2/3 of his time here despite clearly being talented and yet for some reason I cant call a spade a spade and say he's checked out.

It's pretty obvious he's got an attitude problems from his behaviour on the pitch. His poor body language and lack of effort are plain to see for everyone as well as him storming down the tunnel multiple times at the beginning of this season. If you saw a man coming up to an old lady at a crossing and instead of helping her he punched her and stole her handbag you should be able to infer that he's a twat without meeting him. It's the same with Winks, we have enough evidence to infer that he's got an attitude problem.

He's fine to be sceptical of the manager but considering the wage he's being paid he still needs to be putting in 110% effort everytime he steps on the pitch and in training. Too often he's clearly not bothered and is a liability.

Can't believe im seeing some people prefer Begovic or Iversen? Begovic was awful, especially against Sheffield united, so many missed saves and didn't come out for crosses. Iversen would have been written off by our fans permanently if he made that mistake a few weeks ago in a leicester shirt. Stolarczyk has been one of the best shot stoppers in the league and is excellent on crosses, we would be looking at relegation if we had Begovic starting instead.

I personally think he inevitably benches Skipp but Skipp can cary on starting if Braybrooke struggles with the step up

All im going to say is that Winks makes Soumare look like a marathon runner.

Sammy has never played in the championship? At Dundee he was not long off his injury and was yet to reach the level that he was before it. Now he's gotten back to his pre injury level and surpassed it he should be good enough for a shot in the championship. I didn't say that he should be a lead player but with Winks in the bin and Soumare out injured he would be in a good position in our squad to rotate with Skipp.

Im also going off the basis that before his injury he was arguably a better player than Wharton, who was starting and playing well in the championship at that time and is now a £60mil player on the fringe of the England team. He might not ever match Wharton's current level but it is not far to suggest that he can match Wharton's level when he was making his breakout in the championship, which Braybrooke was arguably already better than before his injury.
