I’ve not heard any post match interviews. What did RM say that was throwing the players under a bus?

Very very predictable reaction. Many on here could do with growing a pair and showing some respect. Like many of the players, the manager is also learning a lot very quickly at this level. This team needs a bit of time to gel, I think it will look quite different come the next international break.

8 given no proven centre forward through the door. That said, Archer could well be decent striker for our battle ahead.

Is a striker really on the radar for the club? I fear many on here will be disappointed come 11pm tomorrow.

He’s gone to feed Fluffy and Fang.

JWP is a smart lad, he’d soon learn the way of the Russ. He offers premier league dynamism, something Aribo and Smallbone may never quite achieve.

Stunned that we’re signing Ramsdale, thought loan most likely but fuck me that’s a very good bit of business. Chapeau to all involved.

Should start if we play 3 at the back.

Was caught a few times in possession but a superb performance overall. He will come on a bundle for this evenings performance.

Great performance for his age.

Ahhh this joke never gets old… I mean funny, this joke never gets funny

Fairly certain Lallana starts this, hopefully he gets 60 minutes but might only be a half. Likely to be in behind 2 strikers at the top of midfield diamond. Really looking forward to seeing Les start, options at are six crucial for us. Would also like to see Dibling alongside Fernandes in the eight rolls.

Yeah and the Turkish clubs will take advantage of their window closing later. Expect nothing to happen until September.

Philosophy does not equal plan.

TP is just not mobile enough, and would require a dramatic change in the team’s philosophy to bring him into the game. We are going to continue to play the way we’ve played since the beginning of last season, to rip that up is no guarantee of success. The performance at Newcastle was ok, although having seen them at Bornmuff I’m not convinced it was as good as I first thought. Forest was largely disappointing but if you change your philosophy following such a performance you’ll run out of options very quickly. Stick with what we know, support the boys in what was always going to be a difficult season.

Possibly. January is crap window to be stuck desperately needing a key position to be filled.

RM did say that and if everything goes to plan that could be the case but… recovery from serious injuries doesn’t always go to plan and can often result in a follow on injury.

Yeah, think you may have misread my post. MLG disappeared because the hate on here was pathetic, shallow and showed a complete lack of empathy - which is ironic.

Yeah, maybe it's the condescending tone I can't help but add to the majority of your posts. My bad.

Is autism a problem? That is a question - maybe not for this forum but your post reads as though it is a problem or something to poke fun at.

I think your understanding of what the 8 and 10 roles is not what they actually are. Neither BBD or AA are anywhere near being an 8 or 10 type player. BBD and AA looked so isolated when they received the ball on Saturday, with at least 2 or 3 Forest players between them and the goal, Smallbone nor Aribo were close enough, often enough, to make a bounce of or to run past drawing defenders away. I hope / believe Fernandes adds more dynamism to our central midfield, we could also see Flynniesta given a more central midfield role once Les settles in to the CDM role which I think he's here for.

For me Ferguson has not backed up the excellent start he made to his senior career, a loan would make sense - probably for both parties but I'll wait to hear from the Falmer Farm Hand association.

Fuck me 2 holding midfielders is sooo soooper bwave of you. Arma as an 8 is just plain stupid.

I look forward to a thread being available for every player that we hope we wont regret signing / not signing.

Fucking fence sitter, say what you really mean.
