Hard to call which way this will go. Hopefully we can put them under more pressure because I'm not sure they're that good defensively. I guess it depends how brave we want to be because pushing on will obviously leave us vulnerable on the counter.

Think we need more from JWP going forward.

Erikson being given too much room and time. He'll make us pay.

Seems nobody is picking up Eirkson.

They did a good interview with JWP and chatted about the youngsters we've brought in and our previous academy stars. It's always going to be mainly about Man Utd.

Agree. The coaches obviously see something in Moi that most of us are missing.

Right, free kicks and corners get the big guys up and bombard their midget centre half! It worked for Brentford.

Well, 8 usually comes after 7 so maybe we do 🙂

Yeah, I was torn between the two Armstrongs. Adam has impressed me in the way we've used him this season. He's been involved in a big way both in terms of defence and offence and has had a hand in some of our goals. I just think his pace and tenacity offers a bit more than Stu at the moment. However, a fully firing Stu when on top of his game is hard to leave out - unfortunately we don't seem to see that from him these days so right now Adam is the better option for me.

Thought you meant I was in for disappointment about Maitland Niles but seems you meant we probably won't be signing anyone before the window closes? That would be majorly disappointing for everyone after we've been led to believe a striker was a priority.

Of course and I didn't suggest otherwise. It's strange that he seems nowhere near the first team these days so you'd think Championship teams would view him as someone they could get.

It's strange that there seem to be no links to Redmond. He'd be excellent for a Championship side. I wonder if he's told his agent he's not willing to take a drop in salary and will see out his contract here, happy to take the money and sit on the bench or even at home. It's easy money and means he can also do the bare minimum in training if he so wishes.

Have you heard something or are you going on intuition?

Not many days left now. Hoping we have a decent new striker ready to pull from the hat to give us all a nice surprise. A creative number 10 who can carry the ball forward, go past people and slide passes to the strikers would be good plus a centre back if Bednarek leaves. Maybe a loan to cover full back. Not sold on Maitland Niles if I'm honest so wouldn't be disappointed if we don't bring him in.

Looking at the video I would think what they mean is that he tends to briefly stop with the ball at his feet, his opponent then faces him up in a static position and the guy then explodes past by turning on the afterburners. He looks Jonno quick plus strong and powerful.

So if he really is only on 30k a week what the hell are we paying Walcott?

As did many of his team mates.

Agree, him and Semmens were visibly smirking when talking about how Broja had stopped playing. Fact is, he wasn't the only one and club management should have sorted it out at the time.

Let's not move Bednarek on just for the sake of it. We need a deal that suits us. If nobody comes in with such a deal then we may as well keep him in our squad. Let's not be in the business of doing favours to clubs like Villa or anyone else for that matter. We need to play a bit more hardball at times.

Yes sounds like it. I'd prefer Garner as I think he's a far better player. We'll probably get neither.

I doubt Utd will be complacent - probably just the opposite. Ten Hag will insist they come out all guns blazing so we'll have to match that intensity if we are to give ourselves the optimum chance of securing a win. They did fade against Liverpool and it wasn't all dazzling brilliance so there should be something in this game for us if we're on it from the start.

From the little I saw he had a hand in two of the goals.
