All very true and I agree completely, but if they were really strong, fast or powerful (like these Prem lads), then they’d be £10m+ players. In reality they’re a bunch of academy lads and some back change signings that Venkys pitied us with.

Hill was impressive again, I feel like he should be starting CB for us, perhaps alongside Hyam when fully fit and Brittain back to RB. Wharton first name on the team sheet in central midfield with the support of Tronstad and one other (JRC?), allowing him more freedom Leonard, Szmodics and Sigurdsson upfront, if the latter can find some form again.

That’s it isn’t it. When he had a little bit of criticism it was when we were getting overrun. He’s so far clear as our best ‘footballer’ so we should be building a midfield around him and let him do the creating.

A bloody good premier league audition from Adam Wharton

Haha that’s fair. I know the feeling now I’m living over there!

We’re playing half a billion worth of 11. Take a breath and just try to enjoy it a bit like the fans in the away end are.

I was thinking the opposite (obviously he is weak as you state), but also poor decision making and generally poor output - there was a good chance where Travis overlapped him and it needed to be first time after a cross field pass - just not sure he has the quality to execute that. Decent squad player though, albeit we’ll not get our hands anywhere near a £1m transfer pot over the next few windows I’d imagine (what he cost) Its all about opinions though I guess

It was said tongue in cheek as I believe it is only Millwall twice, QPR twice and West Ham 😄 Ouch - that sounds like a shocker at West Ham!!! I can imagine all the fans coming on to the coach after the shootout absolutely buzzing whilst you’ve been there all along!

I.e. everyone is watching the game then posting when something major happens? Like every match, every week?

This lad in the sticks is horrendous isn’t he. I’m no Pears fan but he looks like Banks compared to this flapper. If he doesn’t learnt to catch a ball he just cannot be starting for us.

JDT has still never lost in London. Keep the faith.

2 big chances for Leonard. If I can pay him a complement, they just wouldn’t have materialised if he wasn’t on the pitch. His movement and positional sense is the best of all our forward players Let’s get some minutes into his legs, and the goals will come.

A proper number 9 making runs with an actual centre midfielder finding him. Makes a difference. Markanday should be on loan in league 1.

Have you ever seen him before? He looks like that if we’re winning 4-0 or losing 4-0. Keith Andrew’s might have had a good game face, but he was shite at football All that matters is that he is our best CM and should be starting there, especially a game like this against a team who like to control the ball (and successfully did that 1st half against us)

😂😂😂 what?

He’s been absolutely fine until that blooper.

We should be down by about 4 at least.

Not seen much that’s been pretty to my eyes 😂 Wharton, Moran and Leonard on at HT for me. Needs a proper shake up.

Wharton certainly looking the better of our two CBs

We deserve that. So sloppy and all over the show in midfield

Rovers and Bournemouth wins and at 5pm we’re all asking Merce for a nice red recommendation. COYB

?? He was pretty much an ever-present in JDTs first season. Played 50 games, top scorer and 1 goal in 3 games (in his supposed fall away season too)

It's close, but looks onside to me by probably the RB, if not the right CB. The build up play was superb though, the 3 RBs working their magic

Such variance in this league it shows you can go on a run of losses / run of wins which may or may not be deserved (see Forest 2 years ago, Boro and Coventry last year, and to a certain extent ourselves and more so Boro this season) I’d argue we were actually playing better in some of those losses than the recent wins, but all that matters are the results!! And in fairness JDT is hampered by injuries, mainly in the striker department. Another great opportunity at home next. Let’s have a comfortable winning margin for that one please. I think we’ll be above PNE after our game with them. Players: Callum Brittain is the first name on the team sheet right now. He’s playing superb and chuffed for him with that goal! Szmodics with great effort again, all the way down to the 90th minute with that challenge on the near side. Keen for Leonard to come back in and take that #9 pressure off him. Hill - I don’t think it’s a coincidence we’ve looked more reassuring defensively since he’s come in. Full of energy bursting forwards too - great loan signing Pleasing 3 points to take our minds of training ground sales for a night at least

Himself and Hill have been our best players this half in my opinion.
