I’m surprised how slow he is. Rhodes level of pace, which is way the Championship was his level.

I meant specifically because of the club world cup.

Absolutely fallen apart since Morton came on.

Would have Mcatee off, been too wasteful and looks physically all out.

Got subbed on for our only CF though and appears to be playing RW - so that was odd.

I like that Norton Cuffy, I remember him plying at Ewood when the keeper’s punched goal in 90+4 gave them our play off place. Cheating twats, never forgive them !

And because of that they're getting far more sympathy in the press / from the football community than we do. We're literally in football purgatory - at least their nightmare is coming to an end.

8 or 9. Delap gittens branthwaite Bellingham Harwood-Bellis Trafford Wharton

They appear content to put in the absolute minimum so we don't fall foul of the authorities.

I can guarantee you there's no active plans for incoming Cashin to Blackburn. Players, Owners or otherwise

If we had delap playing the trophy would be ours now

Wont he be too old, in which case he would be very lucky to get more caps. The purpose of this tournament is development though. The club world cup feels like overkill and unnecessary but understandable why players choose to play in that over under age football. Who is missing, Delap, Gittens and Bellingham or are there more?

We seem to be playing the whole match without a proper CF, have we no one in that mould on the bench ?

Drogba is the prototype for me in these systems. Obviously there aren't many of him knocking about!

Buy back clause within sale apparently.

Exactly. You either need to be the build of this German forward or a Bellamy to be able to be effective on your own.

A few of them look streets ahead of their colleagues. Interesting that Liverpool are selling Quansah - a young, talented, English CB. With the Champions League registration rules you'd think they'd hold onto him for dear life. Anderson won't be at Forest for long, he's fantastic.

He's another small #9 playing upfront on his own. It's what I fear will happen to Leonard and has happened to Ohashi all season - they just don't impact the game enough. You have to be lightning quick, or incredibly intelligent at their size playing against two big CBs.

The Club world wank has really done this tournament shit. Fucking hate fifa

Stansfield will be lucky to get any more under 21 caps. He's shit

Premier League clubs? No. Championship clubs? Absolutely.

We don’t want penalties 🙈

I think it is partly due to the age cut out where you have 23 year olds playing, but its strange in that very few of those players I look at and expect many if any caps in the senior team. Our stand outs at those ages have already bypassed this age group. Livramento should get a decent amount of caps but even then, Trent is ahead. Elliott has a lot of competition and he is stand out for the under 21s. One or two others might such as Anderson, but equally the likes of Stansfield, Beadle and Cresswell would do well to get any caps.

Stansfield NOWHERE NEAR good enough. Can't hold the ball up. Doesn't run

All gone tits up since Morton came on. Stansfield work hard but poor.
