Yeah still not for me for the money involved, we already have 1 overpaid single digit forward in Gallagher thanks.

Yes and that's why you try to help them by trying to play to their strengths and play others around them that can cover for areas of weakness. Playing Travis alongside Wharton or Buckley isn't/hasn't helped either of them and will continue to hamper any progress they could make. Do you think Carter & S.Wharton CB partnership is good enough to start as first choice CB's next season? I don't! For the same reason why any combination of Travis, Buckley, A.Wharton is not acceptable to start in the engine room of midfield regularly next season

Maja has what is it 2 Championship goals in 32 apps? that aint no 16 goal striker

We can't go into next season with them options in the middle and be succesful. Wharton is a stand out who's potential is sky-high but to partner him with any of those is going to hurt him. He needs an experienced head who will do the dirty work and protect his weaknesses. The only one that could maybe do some of that but without the experience part would be JRC, but even then I would want the experience alongside Wharton to really let him shine.

Everton I agree with it's clear as day boardroom and ownership is an issue there. It will be Leeds, Forest & Southampton for me that drop though and they are all well enough run to get themselves back in top 6 mix. Watford may be a basket case club but are we any different? the big difference is they have more money to splash and are an astute manager appointment who gets results early on away from being good to go. We have little to no experience in the squad, no leaders & no goals. We need so much more than just 3 attacking players that score goals, which in itself is a huge ask without multi-millions to throw at it.

Really? With the 3 coming down from the Prem and the 2 (Watford & Norwich) from this season that underperformed that are still here is 5 that should be gunning for the top 6 straight away, then we have the 3 that will miss out this time in the play-offs. You think we are 4 signings away from making the Play-offs when we are losing 2 almost ever presents from the team this season? minimum 6 needed and one of them needs to be a top, repeat *TOP* striker. Our transfer record tells me not a chance and another season of mid-table mediocrity is beckoning in what will be a much tougher division next season.

yeah they only need 15 goals to help us any...

Nothing but I would rather Hedges be through the middle and Diaz off for Dolan. Having one player in thier best position beats Brereton & Dolan being out of position again. Personally would go with Leonard through the middle but nah not JDT.

Dolan through the middle yet again, when Brereton is still on the left is enough for me to say it. JDT has lost me & for me he has to go. Not a bloody clue

Dolan > Diaz Kaminski > Pears Brittain > Pickering Garrett > Travis Just 4 better options right there...

That's exactly where we are based on historic points from the Championship. We are not overachieving, it's the clubs with big expectations/reputation underachieving.

Oh I agree wing is his best position. Thing is upfront he aint given no support from wide so he either turns to try and buy time for some support and gets dispossesed or he runs into a blind alley and gets dispossesed either way he gets pelters from some on here without looking at the circumstances he is being asked to play in

Not always a bad thing if your wide forwards are Diaz & Hedges who are never offering him an option as they are stuck on the halfway line, so he turns back looking for the always willing Szmodics

Doubtful, he will be his usual self thinking about his upcoming holiday in spain on the halfway line just like he has since December

Brereton just has to turn up for the coach to Millwall and he is guaranteed a start it seems... I guess we should be thankful he at least he turns up for something because he sure as hell don't turn up for the actual matches we have had the last 5 months

We haven't been a well run club since Venkys rocked up so that why we cant compete. The summer window was one of slight change but gave me a little hope as for the time they had it was a decent start to move us forward, however January happened and back to square one. This summer is make or break as far as this current regime for me it has to be not only a good window it has to be 'special'

Its an expensive squad player to have. He cant be the one to lead our frontline as he is not prolific enough. We cant use him out wide as his final ball and first touch is poor and he doesn't have raw pace to skin his man! Thus he is a bench player who is one of our highest earners. Move him on if we can get something for him, otherwise we a stuck with a player who is not going to lead a side to the play-offs as a minimum

For Millwall I'd agree longer term for next season I think we need to bring someone in. Nobody in the squad has the quality needed in a Captain

Yes and we have backed ours with millions of pounds for the league we're in. Not many of our academy players have looked out of place for a play-off chasing team Carter, JRC & Wharton have been some of our most consistant players when called upon. The academy players are not the issue its the consistant use of the likes of Diaz (post world cup), Hedges & Gallagher who are nowhere near the required standard and they are £10m+ in fees alone. Is there any team in this division who have 2 players in the same team with combined fees of over £10m paid while in the Championship without parachute payments and without a sale of any note?

Ok so Man Utd dominating the 90's into 2000's with G.Neville, P.Neville, Butt, Scholes, Butt & Beckham with the best will in the world you can't expect a title push with an Academy propping up the First XI like that... Sounds a little stupid no?

7, and you cant be counting Travis as academy player he is 25 and has well over 200 career appearences! was Scholes an academy player when he was 35 playing for Man Utd? So really 6 total, not terrible considering one was also a Keeper who was only in due to circumstances and is usually 3rd choice.

And you would like him to do what while being played as a false 9 against 3 central defenders while Diaz is standing around on the left halfway line picking his arse and Hedges nowhere to be seen? play him on the left in place of Diaz and he is more than capable

I can tell you for certain that Dolan out on the left for a little as he was there this evening was the only one along with Sczmodics from outside the back 5 that I would not even think about dropping against Millwall. Diaz, Hedges, Travis & Wharton nowhere near what was required today.

That's the thing, 1st half they were poor and 2nd half they were average but the fact they were comfortable throughout and still should have been out of sight is a damning indictment of the way we setup for thae whole game.

Doesn't deserve the bench spot honestly
