Sorba grafting like he's a youth academy lad from Darwen not a 6 month no option loanee - great

I am claiming that as foresight

Hoping their lack of outright attacking wingers means fullbacks can get more time. Also hope Sammie Dolan Gallagher et al can keep a back 3 busy

On our day I've seen us play as well as anyone Similarly to above too I thought Sheffield turned us over easily away No Mowbray death spiral to speak of I make that a positive, a negative, a positive. 1-0 Rovers

Quick browse or the Leicester forum after we've turned them at home and they seem to be sold on Pears Rankin Costello and Travis and have us as better team (till the 70th minute) Didn't have myself typing those words in that order this time last year

I go on about this but want to see Vale run his socks off here

Dont think Buckley was especially good or especially poor. Think his game will only be benefited by being surrounded by lads who put a shift in (Sammie Travis Dolan gally etc) Hopefully can do so and carry us to Wembley

For me if we are having Costello cut in side which I do think works with the back 4/back 3 shift then surely we play him left back (cutting onto his right - despite the defensive risk) and have Britain at right back to utilize his drive down the wing and crossing ability. May be an issue in that Britain and Thomas play a similar game (both want to beat a man on the outside and play a ball in) however

Fear we've worked out socks of all evening and then subbed on two lads without much graft in them (Vale and Morton) Hope I'm wrong and we get 10 more minutes of good running out of them

can you pick 6 numbers say between 1 and 50

Realize it won't work like this but you'd think the legs of Gally Dolan Travis and szmodocs should run Blackpool ragged and give Buckley ample time to pick them apart.

Realize Dolan isn't a striker nor is he the finished article but his first instinct being to play forward whether it's turn his man, play a ball or run at someone made him a standout for me today. Arguably better pressing today too from him than either of our centre mids

The Vale to Dolan change shows how far a bit of graft and trying hard can get you. Also says a lot about what spells at the lower level and probably a bit of experience outside a comfort zone gets you too

Centre mid and a goal scoring striker and we get 2 or 3 there. Is Leonard (think that's his name) an 'actual' striker as I don't think much of Vale. Feel sorry for JDT and some of the comments. Understand he's got the tactical understudy etc but turning around and looking at that bench who makes an impact? Dolan and hedges at best

This has Thomas injury and a Wigan late winner all over it

Dack being able to add this running to his game after his injuries does make me feel slightly sorry for him and what could have been (for him)

Apparently the teams got there at 16:10 and there's no issues so we've not bothered checking and left Now we've a meeting we've missed and can't go ahead with

Off to atletico madrid

Souttar off from stoke for 15-20m

Semenyo from Bristol going for 10 million and BBD on a free - not right

According to fotmob yes can play across the front 4 I've not seen him kick a ball in all fairness just work gossip

Aaron Collins a name I've seen too

Don't love Cantwell even as a Diaz replacement on the wing. Same for Gerhaldt as we have Dolan and Markanday. Would much prefer another striker if we lose Diaz, with Dack off of the two acting as the go between for Morton/Buckley. We've no ball carrier and two deep centre mods. Can either bring one in or play more central for me

Left a comment the other day but if we keep Diaz a right back understudy, a lump of a central midfielder and either an attacking midfielder or a left footed central mid who doesn't play like Morton and Buckley and allows Diaz to attack more than defend makes the world of difference. If we do lose Diaz and make some spendable money then I think the manager will have a rethink of how we play and embed the passing game more. Currently we piddle about with it waiting for the long ball to Diaz on the break as for me we don't have bar Dack someone playing between the opposition's midfield and defence. A striker to replace some goals, a tough tackling centre mid, a back up right back on loan and a creative more attacking midfielder would change the team overnight

Dreamworld is: Tall angry physical central midfielder who can disrupt a team. Ideally Scandinavian with a beard. Alternative striker/second striker who can play the pressing game and chip in with goals Full back who is defensive minded and serviceable on either side OR out and out wing back on the right hand side who can play as understudy to Britain when fit (loan?) Central midfielder who plays a different game to Buckley/Morton who plays slightly further up the field and can link our deeper midfielders/inside wingbacks to our strikers in games we can't get into. Based on rumours if we bring in Demebele that hits the target for a striker for me. I fancied Simms over the summer too who's landed at Sunderland. Otherwise a Danny Graham character or Grabban as Forest did could chip some goals in (Is Kienan Davies still at villa?) Ebowele from Palace on loan fits the wing back. Otherwise Norton Cuffey at Arsenal on loan somewhere (Rotheram) can play on either side. Berget from Malmö fits the attacking midfielder and we'd be after a lump of a central midfielder which I'm sure Nordic and league one could suffice. I've heard the name Magennis from Hibs but don't watch Scottish football so can't say what role he fits or whether it's just talk. Wouldn't be hell bent on losing Edun on the basis 5 subs and his engine could be useful as season drags on although manager doesn't fancy him
