It depends on your full back. Brittain's willingness and ability to get to the byline, overlapping the winger, means a left footed to cut in offers the option of shooting or a inswinging cross. Both of our LBs don't have the same engine for getting forward so it makes sense to have a direct winger to get to the byline to cross.

Members of a certain vintage will remember being stung by Martin Dahlin, who we did sign, and had a pre-existing issue which ended up as a bigger matter when playing for us. Given our limited finances, can't blame the club for being very cautious with the approach to Baradji

Until you have a striker hitting 20+ a season, you're always on the look out for a better striker.

Towards the end of last season there were a couple of goals scored from him winning the ball back. But, it doesn't count as an assist and it isn't a goal, so people look passed it. I'm not saying he's great, but not as bad as some make out, like never doing anything good. Nice play Ohashi again

For those without audio, you've missed Sidnei pledging double figures for goals and assists (each I think!)

My audio has come on

He also scored a deserved goal of the season 2 years back, but to some he never does anything good

Nice finish ochan

Suhail will be panicking at the thought of having to refund 50p per purchase for the lack of audio

There should be, I'm sure the club posted earlier that Sidnei would be on comms

Does anyone have sound on their stream?

A little while ago, didn't someone post along the lines of 'the coaches don't rate De Neve, he has an awful first touch'? 2 starts in a row suggest it wasn't true

No surprise the sales have slowed down. Marquee signings would be needed now to create interest, or a blinder of a start to the season, before they go off sale.

Ohashi would also be an option in the ten role, but it pushes the shortage to the striker position, although at least Gueye is a senior player and

I get where you're coming from but we've not seen Tronstad linked to another club, does that mean he's poor?

During the poor start he had, he came across to me as not really being bothered but it's actually that he's very level headed, doesn't get too high or low. The way he has addressed the Brittain situation is spot on, a lot of players have indicated JE was a great man-manager, but it's come to light he covered up the Szmodics situation. Like others, I'm warming to VI - unlike JE he's willing to be honest with the fan base

We were linked to Bamford by some last year. Huge wages aside, his injury record was also pointed out as being poor since his glamour season in the prem

I dont want to create an arsenal discussion but Saka, Lewis-Skelly, Nwaneri and to a lesser extent Martinelli are all 'home grown'

And in Toth gets injured? I'd rather have Pears on the bench than turn to the u21 keepers. Or have Pears available for transfer by being fit and someone else brought in. Nixon reporting this morning that Wharton stays with Palace, so no sell on for Pasha to look forward to yet.

He probably will but can't read into the GK selection from yesterday given Pears was injured

Anyone regularly watch the U21s and able to say how close or not Atcheson is from being able to cover on the bench or for a few games?

We had a halved away kit 2 seasons ago didn't we?

Siding on not liking it. Even putting the colour aside, the images are too random and repeated too much, they should have found more things to identify the town. It's like the took the feedback to the map on the pink shirt and tried to come up with something similar to tie the shirt to the town, but the result is far worse IMO

Kaminski also ended up in L1 but I reckon most of us would have been delighted had we signed him back

Based on his time with us, yes. But then he went to Luton and played his part in them getting to the premier league, so....
