Will Alves off, Oli Ewing on

Just when he was starting to get more involved 😂😂

This team plays some lovely simple 1 2s which we rarely see from the 1st team. It’s    such an effective way to progress up the pitch.

Shame I thought he was just starting to make his presence felt and working well with Wright.

Saving him for Stockport

Madivadua and Maswanhise need to be knocking on Brendan’s door

[Suzie the Fox]

Do we know whats happening with Hirst this season, has there been any mention of loan anywhere? 

 

[themightyfin]

Brunt really is a class above this level.

Apparently there is interest from Blackburn, Blackpool, Ipswich, and Portsmouth

 

We are also apparently offering him a new contract and he will go out on loan when he accepts, but will be sold if he doesn't

Hopefully with his new deal sorted and him picking up some good minutes after coming back from injury we will see a loan sorted for him

[moore_94]

Hirst and Maswanhise off, both Pennants on

Still not sure what his best position is, always looks composed in a back 3 but is supposedly a DCM but never really plays there. I'd like to see a midfield diamond of Brunt, Braybrooke, Wanya and Alves

Team playing some lovely stuff. Better decision-making from our forwards could have seen us way out of sight.  Braybrooke dictates, and sprays accurate passes all over the park. Some good direct passing to progress us quickly up the pitch, too.

 

I would really like to see Braybrooke, Wormleighton and Maswanhise given some involvement in the first team at some point this season,  Impressed with Brunt  and the other CB  too.

[coolhandfox]

Be interesting to see who goes out on loan and who stays.

 

Like the new CB, he looks like a proper defender.

[themightyfin]

Appiah really has a bit of Sol Bamba about him.

[Foxxed]

Appiah seems decent.

[moore_94]

That was brilliant by Braybrooke to create that chance

[coolhandfox]

Lovely by Braybrooke 

[Ric Flair]

Sammy Braybrooke will play for England without a doubt.

I can't make my mind up on him so far, he's good on the ball at times like Wes Morgan was under pressure but other times he looks cumbersome. Decent pick up though to compliment this exciting U21 team.

Completely agree.

As I said has a lot of Sol Bamba about him.

Looks solid as a rock but at the same time you know there's a big error in there that will come out at a random time.

Love his crunching tackles. 

He's definitely got something about him.

 

I still think Brunt has a great chance if making the 25. 

BR thinks really high if him and I think he's the first goto for the bench outside the regular slop we have.

One of those players that seems to have so much time on the ball and alway available to receive the ball.

I know what you mean, but I like the fact he seems to have a little steel about him.

He's a shoe in for tbe QB role in 12-18 months if he keep his progress up.

Everything goes through him.
