If it pushes BDCR further down the pecking order it surely has to be a good thing?

He’s got a way to go to be better than KDH. I know who I’d prefer in my team -The one from Shepshed!

Maresca loaned out VK and Soumare because they didn’t fit his system. El Khanouss does fit Cifuentes’ system. I can’t see him going on loan unless there’s an alternative option coming in. Obviously if he’s transferred with cash we’ll buy an alternative. We need more cover than Page and Alves who seem to be battling to be the principal understudy.

If he doesn’t get a move he’ll be back in the team again. Not worth loaning out unless we have a replacement- his wages aren’t that high

Despite it being Skipp’s best game, Soumare was still better tonight. Both though are still too negative way way too often. The pair of them together are not the solution going forward but they did the job tonight. Hopefully we’ll get someone during the window.

Ducking out of a tackle - which he could’ve been arguably accused of on Saturday, is nothing to do with ability. He’s more than able at Championship level. His abilities are stand out in midfield at this level. You could argue his mentality at the moment isn’t in a great place but tbh, he had some excellent moments on Saturday. The hate clouds his performance for many as it does when Faes plays. He does a lot of things very well. He is outstanding on the half turn and plays incisive forward passes with regularity. Fact remains he has excellent ability at this level and he is our best midfielder albeit out of a very very limited pool of midfield options.

Ability wise Winks is high quality.

I thought Hamza was our best outfield player. You could see him reacting and aware of the fans when he was down our end and leading the team. Unlike against Huddersfield he pressed his winger and closed the space much quicker.

Yeh definitely this - 100%. I’m that sure he’ll be so so good for Forest that I’ll even drive VK to the City Ground myself and drop him off in their car park.

Skipp looks to me that he hides on the pitch. Minimal movement off the ball. He’s happy to stay close to his marker and doesn't make much in the way of quick movements away from a marker to receive the ball from our deep builders - the goalie/centre halves or from throw ins. Because of this he doesn’t see much of the ball. Needs to be dropped for Winks.

He was our best right back. Cooper did not play him when he was fit. Finally he realised at Ipswich and then threw him into a full game after not giving him game time from preseason onwards. Not playing your best full back alone is mismanaging talent, never mind the injury part.

Cooper mismanaged Ricardo, that’s a fact.

Why are you that bothered? He seems like a nice lad but showed minimal loyalty. Mads jumped ship at the first chance he could leave just to stay in the Premier League - despite the move being to a pretty desperate PL club that were predicted to struggle this year based on Potter’s record, pundits’ predictions and WHAM’s own fans!

Mads stayed on his line for corners. Definitely was his weak link for us. Tbf looking back, his best time for us was when we were by far the best team in The Championship and he could just play with the ball at his feet as a deep mainly short passing pivot.

Mads is having an absolute Danny Ward in goal.

Maybe we could tempt legendary Leicester and England Captain Gary Wackett out of retirement too

Don’t underestimate Rudkin, I could see him in a pair of boxfresh sondico, shorts at Cattermole height, possibly sporting a headband working his magic in the number 10 role.

Thing is, it’s well known James Garner’s knees were gone even by The Rockford Files era of the mid 1970’s so it’s unlikely he could do a job as a creative midfielder. Plus there’s the added (insurmountable?) complexity that he’s dead. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Think they are in about a pay per play deal for fans. You have to have a full kit, your own boots and pay them £2k for the privilege. The only criteria is your kit can’t be a snide DH Gate version.

The Wrexham approach

After he gave us all of 12 months commitment and was part of a team that stunk out the Prem? Minimum commitment, minimum goals & assists and then jumps ship at the first opportunity. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The ELK hype is partly down to RVN’s obsession with him last year even when Buonanotte was the more likely of the two to produce an actual end product. Bilal has fabulous touches but he hasn’t delivered for us to date.

I started reading your post and I was nodding along with your sentiments until I got to the line highlighted. At this point you absolutely lost me mate.

If I was a Palace fan I’d not be too happy with Bilal replacing Eze. They are worlds apart at the moment Elk needs a season in The Championship

No disputing he tries his best. He’s just not an attacking fullback. Cifuentes realised that against PNE but that didn’t stop a deeper positioned Thomas getting caught out with balls over his head.
