Pears Brittain. Barnes. Wharton. Batty Garrett. Buckley Markanday. Hedges. Gilsenan Ennis

With the condition that ennis and Sigurðsson arrived in coupled with the lack of recent movement in transfer for another attacker I'm expecting a slowish start to the season. How well the season goes will largely depend on how well we recruit in the coming weeks. If the funds come in and that allows us to say sign a striker and loan a decent winger then that could be enough. I don't think we are far off being a good side in this league.

Kaminksi JRC Carter. Hyam. Pickering Tronstad. Wharton Hedges. Szmodics. Dolan Leonard Subs: Pears, Wharton, Brittain, Batty, Travis, Buckley, Gilnesan, Markanday, Ennis

Disagree on Markanday. He's working hard but doesn't look he'll make it to me. He isn't quick enough.

Travis should've scored. Got hit on the break and conceded. Fine margins

Who played where across the midfield was a flat 3 or the usual 4-2-3-1?

Kaminski Jrc. Carter. Hyam. Pickering Tronstad. Wharton Sigurdson. Szmodics. Dolan Ennis

What's the formation?

Does he ever?

04/05, 91/92. I know historically it was one of our first kits but I still strongly dislike it when it's been done recently. If they did it again now it would be way too soon.

I generally hate it when we go for the lighter blue. It's not Rovers blue. It's okay every 20 years or so but feels like we've seen it a lot more frequently recently

I think Phillips is going to have to go on loan at some point if doesn't become 1st choice here. The question Is when and the issue is his body. I still don't think he's filled his frame out and his body isn't ready for the game time. I'd keep him around until January then reasses.

Issue with our set pieces at home has always been the slope for corners. Discourages inswingers because the player has to come up the slope.

Adam Wharton is the second coming of Tugay so Tugay chat should be allowed

As players Pirlo and Tugay are very similar in terms of style. And its precisely the role Wharton should look to play imo. Most teams play the ball out from the back and he can be the key pivot. Essentially when you have a player who is that good on the ball, you want to get them on the ball as often as possible. Do you sacrifice Wharton not touching the ball as much to get him closer to the goal? Not for me.

Sunderland don't look to have any cbs by the looks of it. And north end have got 3 strikers on the pitch. Wouldn't rule out PNE doing us a favour there.

Kaminski Jrc. Carter hyam. Pickering Travis. Wharton Thomas. Dack. Szmodics Gally / Leonard Subs: Pears, Ayala, Brittain, Edun, Hedges, Dolan, Gally / Leonard

Hasn't he just had a kid?

Dack can finish. Dack is fit. Dack was our best attacker for 2 months of the season. Dack must play.

If results stay as they are and west brom norwich is a draw then we could get away with a point vs Luton. There's no other way for us to get in other than beating Millwall. In fact in the above scenario beating luton makes no difference to a draw. All it would do is open up a route to 5th place which I'm not sure is particularly advantageous to us.

Kaminski brittain. Carter. Hyam. Pickering Travis. Wharton. JRC Hedges. Szmodics. Diaz Subs: Pears, Phillips or S.Wharton, Edun, Morton, Thomas, Dack, Leonard.

We played Szmodics up top and dolan left. Or was I watching a different game?

There's things he does that remind me of Tugay. And in my book there is no higher praise. I could watch him all day.

Start with Gallagher... No, neigh, never no more
