Just a bit, last Friday it was all doom and gloom.

Rudy and Suhail were the devils' incarnate.

One really good win and one promising looking signing on the right wing later and all of a sudden Travis was always crap and this new strategy might actually be the way to go etc. etc. And the plastic snake manufacturers will no doubt have a beano in November.

I mean, we dont even know if Travis's replacement, Baradji, is fit , or out for a lengthy period and if the latter, how long for.

The fickleness of the football fan. It works both ways.

Fickle? You're not kidding, he's gone from captain of the rubber dinghy men to irreplaceable.

It’s interesting that even after Morsy left in the summer Ipswich didn’t make a move for Travis. You would have thought he may have been on their radar if he was rated during the loan spell there. 

Ipswich didnt really see him play though, no slight on him, it seemingly was an opportunistic temporary deal to bolster the squad but Morsy and Luongo at the time were outstanding. 

Plus they are about to sign their second midfielder of the summer for £10m. They are fishing above that.

As @MarkBRFC mentioned, it was part of the plan. Gestede said one of the summer priorities was getting someone to compete with Ohashi and Gueye. Then it dropped off.

Have you listen to Elliott Jackson's podcast on this?

A lot of pressure on Baradji actually being decent.

I'd start Trav over Taveres any day, so big shoes for the new guy to fill. (if he's even fit to play)

On Elliott Jackson podcast, he said Ismael and Gestede were big fans on Baradji and even after medical problems they want him.

Cantwell strikes me as a better footballer than Travis.

Wasn't the question though.

Some of what I have read makes it seem like the "family" club is being totally destroyed to be more like boot camp? There's good and bad in that but reading the names Garner, Faz, Sir Rog makes me feel perhaps more bad than good
