'Cos he's a fantastic footballer?

Wayne Rooney scored 11 Premier League goals as an 18 year old. What's your point?

We would be if you replaced Szmodics with the immobile Dack.

So many posters are hell bent on us playing 4-3-3 - they suggest it every match thread. 🤣

A 4-2-3-1 can play as an exotic 4-4-2 if you like.

Absolutely no chance we were bringing in a PL loan at CB / RB and an experienced Championship CB. We had to loan Buckley out to balance out the books ffs.

He's an CAM / Attacking Midfielder with license to bomb on. Dolan is essentially playing as a False 9, which is why our CF isn't the most advanced player.

He's also 7+ years younger than Kaminski (and crucially for this administration, a damn sight cheaper).

I wouldn't have Pears in my mid-week 7 a side team.

If someone wants to pay £5m+ for him then that's a great piece of business for us.

Even PL clubs don't have competent third choice GKs. As for the owners, the less said the better.

Why? He's the third choice (Academy graduate) GK of a cash-strapped Championship side.

I've adjusted my standards to accommodate the clogger's league we're in. That type of shot, with that type of deflection, ends up in the back of the net multiple times every weekend up and down the country.

And how do you sign one of those with a closed Transfer Window?

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.
