  1. New generation but picks Danny Welbeck ahead of Jadon Sancho at Dortmund and Ademola Lookman... Joke!
  2. Punished for not taking our chances in the first half. Can't understand why he took off Palmer, to me he looks a class above on the ball. Rothwell has done enough to be starting for us now, felt sorry for him being on the bench after proving himself more than capable. I can see why people were miffed with Bell but before we conceded the 3rd i though he was having an ok game, understandably people are calling for Williams back but It I'm not convinced that he's any better tbh. We can analyse this many ways but we in my view we lost because we didn't take our chances, pure and simple.
  3. See what you're saying, good thing about our squad now is we can pick players based on who we're playing against. I'd personally drop Bennet into holding mid with Evans and play either Rothwell or Palmer. Few instances I've seen Rothwell in holding midfield he's looked good IMO. Sets up play nicely.
  4. Palmer has some similarities to Dack in how he can be quiet for periods of the game but can have potential match winning moments. His ability mentally gets the better of players at times, you can see players frightened stiff of him and there are periods were I've seen teams double up on him. He might drift in and out and need to work on the defensive part of his game but he will free up space for other players like Dack.
  5. Did he play for the under 23's last night? Saw a tweet from Sharpe or have a misunderstood?
  6. Success for me. Considering we kept our best players, added more quality and still have Rodwell and Davenport to potentially strengthen us further. Disappointed not to get Chapman, I think he could have been the difference for us in a few games that may have pushed us further up the table but realistically he will probably be a Rovers player in 4 months time, same for Bauer also. There is a lot of pace, flair, talent and hard work in this side now for the first time in almost a decade. It's sort of like watching so many other side's in the past and wishing our side had the same qualities, only this time we do.
  7. The club will announce if there will be no incomings. The facts it 5pm and they haven't done just yet makes me think that there could be a small chance. Anyone if it's possible to get an extension to get loans done in the same way the permenant window works?
  8. Like us with Mowbray, a lot seems to rest on Dyche, if he goes then it would be interesting to see how they cope.
  9. Getting greedy but be gutted if the Chapman one didn't come off. Can see it being a too little too late situation on that one.
  10. For the first time in a long time I wanted them in the cup. I'd love to see us play them with a full strength side now.
  11. Thanks for reminding me... Although I must have been reminded about 5 times this week! ?
  12. What time would a player have to be signed for tomorrow to available for Saturday?
  13. Brereton. To be honest I'm not too convinced on Marriott either considering he's only had one good season. Waghorn is not an investment, too short term. Harrison might still turn out to be a decent signing for Ipswich, to get a player for under a million who scored 14 league goals in not a particularly great team, I'd say that's a no brainer and low risk. The one signing I am pretty wounded about is Edwards after watching him take us to bits on 2 occasions. Unquestionable talent and definate resale value, his price has already increased no doubt. As far as forwards go, I think you generally get less value for money. Overall I think Adam Armstrong could potentially turn out to be the best value forward in this league. Just hope he can get himself into double figures this season.
  14. Yeah, seen him a few times. I'd banged on about him to friends being a decent player a while ago. All I'm saying is that I think he'll have to perform consistently well for us first before we can call him a good value signing.
  15. I'm not sure you can call it a steal until he's proven himself good value.
  16. The only ones I can see definitely going out on loan are Travis and Nuttall. Other than that I can't see Whittingham or Caddis getting a move.
  17. Aye but Freeman was a different type of player all together... I took it as if we were trying to sign a few for decent fee's.
  18. Check out @BBCLancsSport’s Tweet: Hang on... So we were trying to sign other players for similar fee's aswell as Brereton??? That's how I took this. How would we able to comply with FFP if these came off? I'm worried after making one big signing never mind two or three. Says we're trying to sign more players too... I'm gobsmacked tbh. After Brereton, I thought that would have probably been it.
  19. Wow, that's good then. To be as quick as he is at that size should be pretty useful.
  20. 6.3"??? I thought he was only 6ft. Is he right about that?
  21. I think people are uneasy given the fee. He's not been playing first team football that long and a side in our league have been comfortable enough to let him go. There is a huge question mark over this one, many supporters have never seen him play or know anything about him. Obviously we won't find out until he's playing regularly for us but I can't help but think Armstrong could end up being better value. Just feel it brings a weight of expectation on both the manager and the player too... Hope it pays off.
  22. Forest fans don't seem happy about the way he's left the club. Thanked his agency but not the club who took a chance on him.
  23. Still can't help but feel uneasy about this one. It's a big fee (for us) and feels a sort of eggs in on basket type situation. I hope TM gets this one right.
  24. Chapman only getting a few crappy minutes in a league cup game is hardly going to encourage him to sign a new contract. He'll be off down here first chance he gets. If he joins as well, this window will have been unreal.
