It's all well and good having a clearout but you need to be bringing bodies in too. Impossible for Marti to build any momentum or organisation if he doesn't know who is going to be here on a game by game basis.

I thought when Choudhury went off last night that McAteer could make a decent full back but its not a good sign for a player if you are constantly looking at new positions for them. Centrally he's not technically good enough to receive the ball. Only real strength is running off the ball and picks up some decent positions in the box.

Not sure we suddenly need to have 2 holding midfielders. Winks sitting in front, Page and Bilal either side in a (Ndidi and Dewsbury Hall type midfield). Soumare and Skipp just get in each others way. We are likely to dominate the ball so let Faes, Vestergaard and Winks play the middle. Would work better with an inverted Ricardo, but Choudhury will have to do. Jakub Choudhury Faes Vestergaard Justin Winks Page Bilal Fatawu Daka Mavididi Is Page left footed? Otherwise no left footer there which is probably why Thomas is getting picked.

Says it all that I think Faes or Vestergaard are probably the nearest thing we have to captain When Ricardo isn't playing of course.

The funniest part is I saw a quote from Donnarumma agent saying PSG only care about money the irony. Top players are just running contracts down now. Edit: not sure why we are talking about Donnarumma in the premier league thread, but I didn't start it

Doesn't do a lot wrong but he isn't good enough to be the creative force he's being expected to be. In our growing list of concerns, I'd put Thomas towards the bottom of it.

For the time being half hearted Winks is a better option and then it's probably Soumare who edges the who's the least shit competition between him and Skipp. Would be a god send if they felt Page could play in a 2 but I don't see it yet. Mavs probably still gets first go, and I'd still pick Daka due to the fact he can run (that's as good as it gets from our strike options) It's going to be Vestergaard and Faes again isn't it?

I'm going with 'we lost the shootout but not the game' line....Still unbeaten in 90 mins

Can't wait for homesick Winks to sign for some Italian side.

Faes looked like the professional footballer going to play at the park with some amateurs. On the ball anyway.

Horrible game of football that Preston will win 1-0.

No doubt he'd be first name on the sheet if he wanted to be here. Never seen someone look so unhappy to score. Don't know if he has shit going on or is just being a dick, but he clearly not happy.

Still has the same players as a manager 12 months ago and we've had another manager in between that period.. No evidence of any improvement so far but why would there be when we have so much shite.

Not sure that's a pen.

Just let him shoot then

Actively went away from the fans there, they really don't like us do they Thought keeper should do better.

Could give Monga a little longer there but Mavs does need some extra minutes. Page looks physically ready, Alves looked a kid whereas Page as the presence. Almost Bellingham like.

Oh monga....imagine a 16 year old doing that to you.

Not like us to go all chaotic after scoring.

Haha, some strike that. Good build up and maintaining of position. Some excellent movement and recycling of possession from Page.

I fear its the opposite and its best we have and Winks is going.

Sick of see Luke Thomas in charge of all our creativity, although he has got a couple of decent ones in at the end. Far too floaty though.

Alves audition at 10 not going well, would rather seem him out on the right.

Commentary keep saying even when what they mean is shite.

Think we just played some football
