Baker a lot more physical than Buckley, we will be overrun in the midfield unless we get a physical dm in is my feelings

Kieran dowell might be a steady enough replacement for baker

Exactly my point, why are we waiting for the window to open before we get budgets approved and players availability/price, yes players can’t move until windows but that doesn’t mean we sit and do nothing in between windows. Any decent business will have forward plans in place, for personnel. I would think there should be a different list depending where we are in the league come January, perhaps different budget also, the keep us in the league budget, the playoff push budget, the auto budget, and the worst being the middling mid table nothing budget . If some of you believe we are that good at being stealth and it’s not any error with our recruitment team then can I remind you of our last few January windows, mad rushes to get players needed in and then errors with minutes to spare. It doesn’t suit the narrative then we are well organised and ahead of the game

So we have really not being doing any leg work between windows by the looks of it, standard

Worried about links we have had so far, none appear to be young, hungry and have pace. Which is what we need, think we have the experience professionals maxed out. And I have always , always disliked Hanley, so clumsy and just never showed anything other than wanting to smash players. Red card/ pen waiting to happen. He got away with it a bit when he had legs, he won’t have at 33. noticed at against Burnley they had big strong looking lads that could run all day, we had ones that looked lost or burst , we need some legs and strength badly

Definite argument for brittain and beck as the best two backs in the league. It’s further up the field we fall massively short

Yea cantwell is getting a tough time on here probably for the first time but we so needed a performance from him today and I guess he was still ill but he wasn’t great, lot of stuff broke down from him. Quite simply he needs to show more in the second half of the season, lad had the world at his feet at Norwich but has been regression at an alarming rate for years, this is his last chance if he is ever going to get anywhere. I get that he needs a bit more quality to work with but even still, more interested in petty personal battles today and should probably have been booked along with Cullen in the 1st half

Batth is booked too

Never saving it

Not been good enough

Lucky there

Ref cmon , Cullen has to be booked already

Not much to get excited about there

We have been poor, they aren’t much better but we are playing to their beat at the moment. Poor on the ball for us, cantwell either has to go off or get into it

Rhodes and gestede

Sorry, Scot’s dialect here, yes it’s a mishit shot, used a lot in golf

I don’t see gueye scoring anything other than scraps and headers. For a striker he has no ability to strike the ball well nor pass it into the net, ultimaltely becoming a sclaff. He isn’t good enough but can create stuff for others

Need some quality in, we still sold millions worth of talent and brought in cheap replacements. 2/3 quality signings in key positions and we would be up there with a chance but without, we are also rans, as capable as beating the top teams as losing to the bottom

Yea there is going to be interest in him over Xmas where a few jobs come up, hopefully he is fully invested in this season at least

Incredibly , I am even further north than you as I’m Aberdeen, just to say sorry for bowyer , he cost us our best chance of promotion, good at recruitment but terrible manager. im sure Gary harkins probably played for you at some point too, he played for every Scottish team. Sorry to say when I was very young it was the tangerines for me (Duncan Ferguson) before I was enticed by Blackburn due to a connection with jack walker. McGowan is a big loss for you but good luck for the rest of the season

Think we need to calm down on the dubious goal chat, I highly doubt anyone is caring enough to discuss it. He had the biggest part of it and it went in for the winning goal, all that matters, we move on

I thought tronstadt was fine, some vital nicks around our box was crucial for the clean sheet. guessing if sigurdsson was fit he would come in for cantwell but he isn’t so he just needs moved on. If brittain is back maybe jrc in there , our Allen key, unless he moves ohashi back and geuye gets rewarded

Wow that’s a take, I thought he was awful, passing to no one , losing the ball with silly dribbles, loads of moves breaking down when the ball gets to him. Look how cantwell shields the ball, doesn’t want to give it away, complete opposite with hedges is travis suspended now as well after picking up that yellow, body language suggested he was. I thought he won the ball on that one too

Does pears have sheff weditis, falls to pieces against them , just as I was starting to get trust in him

Xmas miracle
