disconnect

Or Dipepa, who is possibly a bit more physical than Oyekunle and has played quite a few matches in League One at 16/17, so has a bit about him.

We've got to play a back 4. Problem with your formation and selection is that it's too sensible, and has the best players playing in their proper positions, which will surely never work (according to our managers).

We used to be a stepping stone for players, now we're only a stepping stone for youth team coaches and backroom staff (or 15 year olds). Sad times.

Well that's disappointing if true re Fraser. Was hoping we'd get him, Aribo, Long, Edozie & Downs out early doors and get the much needed new keeper and powerful striker.

Looks like another terrible appointment, who we'll only have to get rid of again in a few months once Tonda is sacked. The dream coaching team alongside Ben Reeves presumably part of the team to make Tonda feel more experienced?! The coaching setup has become a complete joke now.

No streams then? Couldn't get a few of the above to work.

In the sense that he has been shifted out on loan to Belgium last year, and then not been included at all this year, whilst other lesser players have been. You could be right that he said he didnt want to be here, but he did post things about being close to and excited about a move in the summer for it to then fall through, rather than him just simply rejecting anything to sit around not playing. I'm sure after last year he would've been keen to move after being moved out a bit quick, and seeing his replacements in no hopers Brereton-Diaz and Cornet!

With Aribo now thankfully disappearing from the matchday squads and Edozie giving his "I'll be playing again soon" hints, are they gone yet? I do think Edozie could still be a good player for us, but has been messed around a lot and obviously both been told they would be moving on and yet haven't found a club. Puts us in a bad position, only likely to make the bare minimum on the players, but in the meantime probably eating up a large chunk of salary for doing nothing (see also Stewart, Long, Downs etc).

Aside from the convenient clean sheet yesterday, there was the argument previously that we need an extra centre back as we concede too many goals. How about trying to score more goals too? Most of the time the centre backs are just strolling into each others way and it clearly isn't working as we're still conceding and not scoring enough (despite dominating possession most matches). It was forgivable when the players were obviously trying to win once Still went, but now they seem completely settled back into this terrible passive rubbish.

It's a shame we've had both Roerslev and Jelert (who looked especially promising, but definitely underutilised by Still) injured at the same time. I think get one of those back, get Fellows starting further forward and possibly move to a back 4 and we'll be looking much better. Agree that Bree has been solid, but in a couple of weeks could have 2 good right backs at this level already without the need for Bree to return.

Can't believe how badly it's gone since then - looked like we had unearthed a real gem! We're due a Christmas miracle - could it be that Downs comes on as a sub, shins one in then goes onto score 10 goals til the end of the season?! Cue loan move announced New Years Day...!

Ah, I didn't realise that - only that he had yet to extend his contract and thought it expired in the summer, not next (27) summer. I might've been confused with our other main man, Aribo...!

I think it's more likely that someone from the Prem will offer around £20 million (and maybe upto £8-10 million for Shea). Not that I think we'd accept that, but think clubs would've started to take notice but test the waters quite low, and many will be aware of Shea Charles's contract and come in low. I expect us to loan out Downs and almost certainly look to get a new (more physical) striker in on loan.

Makes Stephens seem like Einstein. He'd be good on a night out with Matty Targett 🤣

Aribo's on for his high energy pressing... 😐 Absolutely woeful second half. Every time Fellows and Scienza get taken off we fall to pieces.
