Interesting, TBF to the lad I think of all the squad he's the one that's too good for the champ and I guess he doesn't necessarily have that connection with the club that some of the others have , that story about him being homesick which was dismissed as bollocks did ring true for me and I reckon it's either now , January or next summer that he goes to a big bundesliga club , if he does go where does that leave our midfield, Bragg and Flynn were the 6s and Charles and Jander the 8s so we need at least 1 no8 in , Matsuki definitely can't play there after seeing him at Colchester but Downes ahead of Bragg looked pretty good to me ,I noticed on the predictions players were making on Instagram today someone said Flynn to get more goals , is Tonda seeing him as an 8 now ?

I think Jander is the one who could walk straight into a top flight mid table first 11 but if we keep him it'll probably only be for a season whereas if we keep Leo this window I could see him staying longer , I'd assumed THB wound be off but Benefica , Hull or Cov don't feel like the right fit to me , I'm not sure he's top half prem player , he looked a liability in the Colchester game at times ! But he was the best CB in the champ last season TBF With Charles gone and Jordan James looking like he's going to Wolves I'd keep Caspar

Could we actually afford to keep Scienza,. Harwood Bellis and Jander , I'm no expert on SCR but it seemed like previously we thought 2 of these 3 would go but it doesn't sound like the huge offers that Dragan said it would take are coming? Would you keep the current squad with BBD gone and Stewart on a new contract, no other transfers I would

I agree Brooks was premier league quality and it was a bit of a twist of fate that he ended up with us, it's hard to replace that and I think spors identifying and being able to bring in Azaz was good from the club tbf , I've enjoyed watching Azaz this season , he's played shit loads of minutes his only 25 and he scored that goal, I think he'll continue do be a difference maker in games but he's got to win his spot back from Dobbin first

Sometimes but when Enzo Fernandez posted a video of himself and other Argentina players chanting a racist song about France's players of african heritage they did literally nothing , admittedly I guess it was under FIFA when it took place but he was a high profile player in the premier league being irrefutably racist , undoubtedly bringing the game into disrepute in my eyes For all the FAs rainbow laces and kick it out they did fuck all and Chelsea issued a statement presumably not actually written by Fernandez saying he definitely wasn't racist and that was that Are Chelsea to big to fail but we're small enough to be made an example of

In the midst of the media pile on the one person most qualified to comment on spygate IMO Stefan Borson said on White and Jordan he thought we should be punished but what the EFL did was unprecedented and disproportionate , he suggested a big fine and that the Boro game should be replayed , I'm bias but I agree completely, if Tonda gets a ban it'll be a fucking piss take ,triple jeopardy, we can accept wrong doing but still fight the severity of the punishment can't we?

That's changed my mind, you're spot on mate ,

I always thought he looked decent but I seem to remember the thinking was Tonda likes 3 tallish players in a back 4 hence why breezys return allowed the return to the back 4 and Jelert probably doesn't fit Eckerts system

Given how much Tonda has improved Manning defensively, could he do the same with sugawara? Always thought there was a player there but found himself in a failing team low on confidence and went to pieces , for me has the potential to be a much more dynamic player than roeslev as 2nd choice right back

What a season THBs had from being dropped by Still to being the best CB in the league , goals , Hollywood passes , the binoculars, the bottle post Love him to stay but I can't see it tbh , I was gutted when we sold Ronnie Edwards for relatively cheap , always thought he seemed the natural replacement, I think there's a player there with quarshie but he's a bit raw and I see him paired with a ball playing CB , not sure that Quarshie/Stephens or Wood/Stephens is up to it ? Spors needs to find someone else I guess

I expected it of talksport etc but what got me was that Blackmore , Total Saints Podcast , Football Martin and alot of people on here went big on the whole we've been betrayed by the club , we need wholesale change narrative that Gibson has managed to create , I thought the clubs response yesterday and today of sorry not sorry, we've been stitched up and we'll do everything to keep Tonda was spot on

Has Gibson got to you?

Why? Do you honestly think I'm a SR employee trying to influence the fan base , it's 150 odd people on here that have voted , you must have an inflated sense of the relevance of this forum, or do you think my post was fucking embarrassing cos I have a different choice of manager to you? I thought this thread was for people to give their choice of who they wanted as our next manager , who do you want? I've read this forum and not joined cos it seemed full of angry people more interested in arguing and trying to belittle people with different opinions !

I don't actually feel that strongly about it tbh , even though I don't vape like a c#nt I do tend to favour the idea of a young progressive coach over experience in the league and I really thought Will Still was the answer , I've never liked Gerrard , GON did my head in with his VAR conspiracy theories , I actually liked Carrick but was put off after watching the vid from boro fans posted on here , TBF I wouldn't mind Carrick , clearly has a great football brain but not sure about him as a motivator,I think Eckert has a confidence about him( the hungry eyes thing showed some bollocks to come out with the cringiest thing since Nathan Jones time!)and he knows more about the champ than Still did from his time at Barnsley,and like I said last week I enjoyed watching a game for the first time in ages

I agree in that the 3 clearly wasn't working, seemed like Still just didn't trust any 2 of our central defenders, we had that cup game when he stumbled on Quarshie Edwards and Wood and stuck with it but the shape looked all wrong to me most of the time , getting in each others way , not picking up runners etc and it did look more functional in the Wednesday game , admittedly way to small a sample size to glean much from but I'm just trying to hang on to a positive! I guess my considered wisdom comment was about that disconnect between the fans and the managers , the elynoussi factor ! , they obviously see different things to us , I'm just another know nothing fan and asking the question why managers keep playing a 5 and fans never want it , Ralph did it for a bit too and it was terrible
