disconnect

But do they still have the tallest team possible as our mate told us was the main ingredient to success?

Fellows is very good at beating a player and somehow keeping the ball stuck to his feet before getting a cross in, just terrible at shooting!

Middlesbrough rapidly checking which games he's reffed of theirs over the years 🤣

I think a lot of people are forgetting how good Ramsdale was for us in the prem - without him, we'd have been losing each game by at least another goal. He'd be the best keeper in Scotland, I think it's just the salary is putting people off. Genuinely surprised one of the promoted clubs didn't go for him.

Problem is that Princewill has never looked particularly good, but has better physical attributes, whereas Ballard looked good but very fragile. I thought the other young striker Bailee Dipepa has always looked pretty decent though

A very brave and strong new nickname

15 and 16 games in the past couple of seasons (in Serie A and the Bundesliga) so not sure whether that's because he's got Ross Stewart levels of fitness or just not fancied. Was very highly rated at one point and has 9 caps for Belgium so hopefully pretty good!!

Stephens has been a disaster so far this season (and majority of his Saints career) and Wood just isn’t an overly good player. Very surprised Quashie or Kayi Sanda haven’t been given an opportunity but really got to either get a partner for THB or two new starters for if and when he goes. This and a big imposing centre midfielder got to be the priorities.

I think "not a bad return" making a £15million profit on a massive flop is being very polite. Forest (and Glasner!) deserve to get relegated.

Wouldn't be surprised if someone like Palace came in late on for THB. Riad out long term again, just signed Tomiyasu but has barely played for a few years and they often / usually(?) play 3 at the back so could be looking for an extra. Aside from that, think they may really struggle this year - the Mateta situation is fairly toxic and just seem to have a lot of average players, which along with the European football might cause them issues.

I think he did and looked better than last week when looked a bit lost there. Preston fans also mentioned he was much better through the middle. No idea re: Akachukwu - I've mainly see him play centrally for u21s. Edozie plays left or right side, so I'd have him as the backup for Scienza.

I like both Fellows and Edozie, who are both great at beating a man, and/or winning free kicks. The issue is neither of them (and even Scienza sometimes) are very good at shooting. If they were to improve this and start adding a lot more goals, they'd likely be getting suitors in the Premier League. Fellows is good at crossing, which is good for players like Larin, whilst Edozie is probably more of a run into the box and cut back player which works well with players like Azaz or Dobbin running in. With regards to moving either on - we (currently) don't really have much quality depth on the wing as Dobbin isn't really a winger and not sure Akachukwu is either, with both probably being better through the middle? Sillah Dibaga looked promising but very raw.

Surprised Kayi-Sanda hasn’t been given more of a go as always looked pretty good when I’ve seen him. Might be in the squad today

Ended 0-0. From the 30 seconds I watched to see if there were any goals, I heard the “‘ammers, mate, geezer” second commentator, who was that “true legend” (leg-end)? He was a proper cockney geez mate innit

I do like Bragg, I think it was probably more the odd goal, and his fairly limited exposure to first team football that gives me a bit of doubt still. I agree, he's always looked pretty good, so have good hope there, but still potentially a risk in that position.
