Fingers crossed, that'd be a nice problem to have.

Good find. 20 minutes in and City's quality on the ball is starting to show. No obvious world beaters though - disappointing for such a wealthy club.

How far away is Brennan from the first team. There was a clamour for his services a few months ago and we're dying for wide players.

It's mental that we pay huge loan fees for players that aren't going to push us over the top. Such a bad way to do business.

Surely you'd play JRC at LWB.

Davenport was being criticised for his inability to beat a keeper when through 1-on-1. He's a CM too.

He's unmarked 8 yards out.

Did you watch us play against Newcastle? Missed an absolute sitter in the first half.

To be fair, Holtby does that all the time.

The hyperbole continues. Lad needs his own TV series "The Legend of David Raya".

I'd like them both to be sold.

If Mowbray doesn't play Davenport in CM with Travis and Evans out, he might as well sell him.

Match fitness is a different beast entirely.

For the level we were playing at, Andrews was a similar inexplicable selection.

Gosh, look at that Brereton bloke NOT laying a ball across the 6 yard box. What a waste. As for Dolan, I think people need to calm down about him. Exciting player for sure (and it's hilarious Preston let him go), but he's 18. He needs to be handled carefully. I'd have him as a substitute at the moment - someone you bring on against tired legs on 60/70 minutes to increase his impact. If the guys in front of him struggle, and he's a success as a substitute then he gets more game time.

Isn't it funny - we all watch the same team each week, but my side would be massively different to yours. I'd do something like: Pre-Dack Travis, Holtby, Rothwell JRC, Armstrong, Brereton Post-Dack Travis, Holtby, Rothwell Dack Brereton, Armstrong.

To a massive extent. He's a L1 wide player.

You're probably right, but that completely nullifies Armstrong.

Sol Campbell only cares about Sol Campbell.

There's room for both.

He has to sell a forward before bringing in another one.

The disrespect. They finished below a club that has systematically had the heart and soul ripped out of it for a decade by dodgy Indian owners. I'd be embarrassed.

Tosin is a v good footballer. I wouldn't classify him as a v good defender though.

Technically Travis could play AMR / AML too - why isn't anyone clamouring for him to play there? Is it perhaps, because his best position is CM and our CM is weak? Same applies for Rothwell. I don't know what JRC's position is (I haven't seen enough of him) - but to me he's looked the best playing out wide and providing some balance to the side. He needs to be given a run of games at ONE position though - he's played 5 different ones for us since lockdown (LB, RB, AMC, AML and AMR). It does nothing for his development. We're not Holland, this isn't Total Football.
