v Norwich City (a) - 5/11/23

Wahlstedt? I haven't seen enough of him to give a definitive answer about how good he'll be - he obviously needs to work on how he handles crosses. That said, it's no coincidence that we've won 4 of the 6 Championship games he's started (and kept 2 clean sheets). He's significantly better than Pears and I don't understand how that's even a question. -

Be significantly better at football than he actually is? -

No, no, no. He's the new scapegoat - he'll never be good enough now. Getting behind a wicked, deflected shot isn't enough. -

It's so quiet there you can hear JDT shouting at his team. -

As I said on Wednesday, the comments exploded when Chelsea scored - a lot of the posters on here just love a good moan. It is what it is. -

Nah, this is great development for him - he needs to improve his off the ball work. -

You'd think a wine man would know that sometimes you need to give things time to develop - written off after 6 games, bloody hell. -

Red card for taking out the GK surely? -

He has a hamstring injury, no? -

Got the ball there - but that's Championship refs for you. -

He doesn't play as a ST, so no. -

That could be extended to about 80% of Broughton's signings. -

Because he's trying difficult passes to progress the play - comes with the territory. -

He has with the ball at his feet, but his off the ball work leaves a lot to be desired. So lackadaisical. -

Sutton clearly watches us play - it's not just lip service. -

They surely can't keep this pressure up all game - they're all over us. -

Oh is THAT who that was? Bloody hell he's aged poorly. -
That doesn't fit the model.

v Chelsea (a) - 1/11/23 - Carabao Cup

That's always been my concern with Leonard - I think he's athletic enough to play as a lone striker (he's 5'11" I think?) and clearly has a very good footballing brain (his movement and link up play is very good for a 19/20 year old), but I do worry about his finishing. He should have scored today and realistically he should have taken one of his two chances against Swansea. I just don't see a natural finisher. -

Well that would certainly free up my Saturday afternoons. -

Garrett played a wonderful ball in behind for the Sigurdsson chance - he needs playing time to progress. With regards to Pickering, Johnson (the Nottingham Forest player... who I think they sold to Spurs?) absolutely abused him last year in the cup. He can't handle pace at all. -

He's just too slow to play out wide. He might have a career as a #10, but he won't get that opportunity here. -

I think we'd be a better team with him starting as a #10 (he's a much better footballer than Szmodics) - but unfortunately (for him) our only consistent source of goals plays at #10. -

That's just the gulf in quality between the PL and the Championship - they attract the best footballers who are also the best athletes. -

I'd genuinely stop using my season ticket.
