Nobody scouting him so far will have been sending back glowing reports.

It’d be easier naming the ones who can put a tackle in.

I’d be really surprised if just one of those players will be playing for us in February.

Squeeze - Goodbye Girl

Miss informed about the Spurs boss.

ACD gives it away a lot too. He gave it away twice in about 2 minutes in the second half. So we sub him for Dolan - who promptly gave the ball away with his first touch ! I was pulling my hair out.

My heart drops when I see the front three but it’s all we have. Weimann is good for 20 to 30 minutes as is ACD. Leonard ditto.

If he’s here this time next year I’ll be amazed.

Eustace will know what he’s capable of better than any of us. We either trust his judgement or we don’t.

I’d have to see what Garrett is like in training. One thing - at least he’ll be fresh as a daisy. He’s hardly played at all for two months.

Our football since we lost Travis and Pickering and Ohashi has been very poor. More like relegation form than promotion form. We aren’t making more than a couple of good chances per game and we aren’t taking them.

As I was saying earlier if we had all week to practise a new formation I’d be changing the way we play. I’d have Buckley playing in the Cantwell role and Cantwell on the bench. He’s a luxury we can’t afford at the moment.

Stop going. That’s the best vote of no confidence.

He’s always liable to get caught in possession because he likes to dribble with the ball and he’s not quick. He needs to be further up the field. IE as far away from our goal as possible.

It’s not always about goals and assists. He kept Brittain back in our half all the time he was on. Brittain only got forward at the death.

Hedges or Dembele ? It’s a no brainer. He’d be quicker than Hedges running backwards.

For his size he probably was the best but there were much taller guys who were better. Three Welsh strikers- Ron Davies at Southampton, Wyn Davies at Newcastle and John Toshack at Liverpool for instance.

I’ve just been and got my old boots down from the loft. I’ll be having my phone close to hand In case I get the call when we’re down to the last men standing.

Giving the ball away in dangerous areas led to the free kick. We do it all the time.

Our opponents will run through Buckley and Cantwell all night. There’s no pace or tackling ability in there.

Th three who did nothing - Dolan- Forshaw - Hedges. if we had more time I’d go 3-4-1-2. As it is time is too short and games are coming too frequently. I was thinking along the lines of Pears - just about. He was shaky again yesterday Brittain -Sanderson - Baath- Hyman - Beck JRC - Forshaw/Garrett Buckley Guyere- Dolan Cantwell has been a disappointment in the role and Buckley looked better for me yesterday. it’s pointless playing Gueye on his own, get somebody next to him playing of the knockdowns. The width comes from Brittain and Beck.

There’s 3 players in that team who did the square root of nothing yesterday. Another one who tried hard but achieved nothing also. Plus one more that tried hard and achieved a little. We are in the position of rewarding failure. If this was a Saturday game I’d be having a radical re-think during the week. I’d be changing the formation. What we are doing isn’t working. We aren’t making scoring chances and just a couple of half chance per game.

He was the one player I fancied to put that volley away near the end. He normally strikes a good ball but he just let it get away from him slightly. Probably our best chance.

Me too. I’ll hold my hand up. I saw him at Accy and thought “ What is he for, he’s not very big or aggressive, doesn’t run with the ball, only got a short passing game etc etc “. I’ll hold my hand up - 100% wrong, he’s the blotting paper soaking up the ball in danger areas.
