Dunno if it’s just me but because of the kit it would be nice for us to really have a proper crack at the cup this year would be totally nostalgic to get to the final wearing that shirt

Lol preferring bbd is so shocking it’s laughable. But why did we seem adamant on freezing him out or forcing him into moving this season ? Id actually go as far as to say that edozie is a world class dribbler even when he looks like he has nowhere to go he seems to still dribble past people somehow. I do think he is more dangerous then fellows myself fellows obviously a good dribbler also and with a good cross but I think edozie is a absolute nightmare for defenders legs going everywhere and so hard to stop, also probably carry’s more goal threat and enticing penalties

Yeah wouldn’t disagree with you but seems a bit weird we are not gonna hardly anyone to sign .regarding Charles you could understand it if he doesn’t wanna sign as well really he’s been here 3 seasons nearly now and still hasn’t really cemented a first team place even though its unlucky this season . But coming from city and then being Wednesdays star man you could understand if he was a bit frustrated Its kinda mental really when you think the chances bazunu has been given compared to Charles and Edozie the latter hasn’t been treated great at all imo but even judging by his little cameos recently you can see he is still awesome dribbler and probably carries more goal threat then fellows

Not really sure how this works out too clever let’s use charles as an example his first season he wasn’t deemed good enough by Martin, second season was great but out on loan to Sheffield.. this season he picked up a injury and found himself behind jander and Downes but considering he hasn’t signed a new deal any profit for him you would think would be pretty minimal. For a player as good as he is we haven’t really hugely benefitted from him on the pitch and his value won’t be nothing great as he’s gonna be approaching the end of his deal ?

One thing Alfie kinda alluded to which we haven’t really spoken about on here is that isn’t it only jack stephens that has signed a new deal of late ? this could be a big problem going forward as we don’t want to get stuck in a situation where everyone is running down the contracts. Charles in particular I’m not sure will resign and tbh we haven’t really gave him a ton of first team football for different reasons in his time here but you can tell he’s developing into a lovely player we need young prospects like this to resign else our focus on potential loses a lot of the upside

Already starting to think that edozie looks more dangerous then fellows he’s such a tricky dribbler it’s like he doesn’t even know what he’s gonna do himself but he’s so difficult to stop when running at people . gotta say it’s pretty poor on the clubs part for freezing him out he’s an excellent option to have it this level I hope bridges can be rebuilt

It’s nonsense comparing him to our previous managers as the vast majority where not in the same league or we where a total mess (poortvileet etc) I mean Russell Martin had us unbeaten for 25 games in this league but didn’t mean he was a good manager. It’s all good winning games where you have better players then most of the league Personally I think he would get destroyed in the premier league

Not often I agree with you but I do here, the fringe strikers always seem to get a hard time and be expected to just step in and deliver, he obviously can do it at this level if you read boro fans opinion of him they thought he was fantastic . I don’t think he suits leading the line on his own though and we haven’t really found a way to ustilise him to his strengths but jeering him certainly helps no one

Is it ? To me he comes across very shy and sheepish. Not the type that would really command respect from the players . Every one seems to be making the comparison that just cos he’s doing better then will still must be good then . But we have a awesome squad for the championship with a squad like this Damn right we should be doing well I think it’s a lot more the players then tonda though

Good game for Stewart think he also got two assists as well as scoring . She’s Charles needs to be starting after that I think our best midfielder and he hasn’t really had that much game time with saints but he’s come on leaps and bounds now

Obviously too busy selling our top scorer for 7 million instead

Our team is looking pretty excellent now in all positions bar the strikers Gk peretz we have gone from worst save percentage in the league to the best might be a bit dodgy with his feet but who cares exactly what the Dr ordered. full backs Bree and wellington have been game changers since coming in ,proper fullbacks who can also defend Cbs Stephens is alright and ThB good but seem to be forging a good partnership at the minute . Cm we are blessed to have 2 out Downes Jander and Charles gotta be close to beat in the division wingers Scuenza Fellows throw in Edozie as back,up again can’t see any one else in the league with wingers as good fellows could do with chipping in with goals though Am Azaz again up with best in the league brilliant vision and can put people in on goal regularly class act CF now this is where it all seems to go downhill. Is Stewart still what he was before the injuries? we have only seen him in glimpses really, massive fitness risk for lasting the season .Larin great debut but also a big gamble with his recent record everywhere else and again is he fit enough ? Archer I’m happy to keep actually although maybe doesn’t want to be here anymore and is probably last choice with the manager I somehow feel like he’s not as risky as the other two but it’s unlikely he starts . Overall we seem to have an immense team now for playoff challenge Huge question marks over the striker situation but in nearly all other positions we are stacked with quality

I liked the way he battled to get himself space for the header but going to give it a few games before getting carried away it still worries me that we let Armstrong go and are relying on Stewart and him

We have every chance of making the playoffs imo only4 points separating us from Wrexham in 6th place and you’ve gotta say we have far the best side out of the teams between Wrexham and us .we just need to be the form team in the last part of the season and we are in the playoffs

Is there any proper reason why the club has seemingly frozen out edozie and tried to force him into moving ? seems to me this is sports republic interfering again considering he was pretty much frozen out under both managers until now think the same applies to Aribo regarding Edozie looked good yesterday has always been a exciting talent very strange that we seem to be treating him badly and trying to force him out yet someone like bazunu was given a million chances

Still not fully convinced with him.on paper we have one of the best teams in the league personally think it’s better the. Russell Martin promotion team so the results being better then will still should be expected really as Ducky says above peretz in for baz and bree back is making a big difference and tonda seems pretty clueless on the transfers just mumbling a load of bollocks regarding Armstrong out shows he doesn’thave much say

Are this guys press conferences even worth it ? When asked if Armstrong leaving handicaps him he just kinda mumbled he don’t agree Whilst looking totally sheepish,The way he comes across in interviews really wouldn’t suggest to me he could be a leader to the players and command their respect

Tricky call I think,he’s a strange player is our Azaz some of his vision and passing is actually top draw, take that curling long pass he played last match for fellows to run onto, that was so good Glenn hoddle would of been proud of it ..yet other elements of his game are more championship level he probably doesn’t have the touch and trickery to be a world beater but his vision and ability to unlock a defence would still be there in the premiership

The comments are more harsh as we have let Arma go.if larin came in as a loan to replace downs that’s fine . The whole situation looks to have weakened us for very little reward 7 million for a striker that has been a consistent 20 goal a season man and to replace him with someone’s who’s been struggling for 3 years just doesn’t make any sense

Crazy post mate, he might not be super clinical but his game gets goals in this division, Che Adam’s used to miss absolute sitters and people still rate him for some reason to say larin can be no worse then AA is total madness you really think he’s gonna be a 20 goal a season striker . I’m thinking more like a cross between Damion downs and stern John

Whatever way you wanna dress this up losing your proven top scorer for a poxy ass 7m and replacing him with a crappy journeyman striker in a 3 year goal drought looks anything but ambitious , if we had brought in larin as a downs replacement fair enough The biggest shame is I think we where finally starting to look like we could make a proper push for the play offs sadly I think this is the death of that

We have only been playing this formation for 3 games even though most fans wanted it. Plus it absolutely does not have to be a big striker up front for it to work Azaz game is built on playing through balls into pacy players to run onto which is exactly what Arma does, also he gives a alternative option to fellows if you want a more direct goal threat from wide right . What makes this even more shocking it’s now down to 7-9 million for Arma this is actually disgusting for a player that’s contributed so many goals and assists for us in the championship it’s not wolves that are being stupid here they are gonna have a 20 goal plus championship striker for next season as for Larin he looks absolutely shit even Canada fans think he’s washed and he wasn’t good in the first place . This is probably one of the most angry I’ve felt about our transfer business in a long time absolutely pointless to take 7 million for Arma and replace him with shit

To the people saying how it’s so hard to sign a decent striker in January. Why don’t we play by these rules then and not sell our proven 20 goal a season striker ffs ? even if AA isn’t that happy here, fuck that we are half way through the season make him wait until the summer, I also think the people who are starting to rate Stewart higher then AA are losing the plot- based on what? he’s barely scored about 5 his whole time with us we haven’t even seen enough of him to know how good he is yet ? Not to mention he could break down at any time if Armstrong and archer really do leave I’d also rather we sign a pacy striker then a big cf as we need someone to replace those two now with azaz as playmaker having pacy players gives him more chance to break the lines.. it’s really Annoying that just as we have seemingly sorted out our defensive problems, got rid of bazunu and replaced well everything was looking good and even I was feeling positive .. now we have to go and completely fucking wreck the forward line when there is absolutely no need to do this

Agreed can’t really think of the last time we had a player like him that can constantly put people in on goal with through balls like he does. When you look at the two chances vs Pompey he is so fast thinking to recieve the ball and instantly knows to play the pass. Amazing awareness and vision

As much as he can go missing at times and be very hit and miss some of azaz passes and through balls are just absolute masterclass and reminds you of those old school number tens like Riquelme, that curled pass he did to fellows to run on to was fantastic as was the two through balls vs Pompey . I think with azaz you just have to judge him purely on the chances he creates not his work rate or what he doesn’t do .. if he’s creating a couple of clear goal scoring oppurtuinitirs a match he’s doing his job
