disconnect

I thought Fellows was pretty good at crossing? His main strengths are very good dribbling skills and then I thought crossing, (but is just terrible at shooting). When he was playing most in the first half of last season a lot of the time he was beating his man and putting in decent crosses but seemed to be Armstrong in the box...!

(Having looked it up) Beattie is currently a first team coach at Reading, and has had some limited success as a manager in the lower leagues, so could be a good addition. At some point there was a rumour he was joining the coaching staff, but it never happened. Agree on the need for someone to drill it into them that just putting your foot through it rather than scoring some sort of Barcelona style dream goal is best.

Don’t know why Fellows is suddenly completely out of the picture, sure he’d have done a bit more out there than some of these performances. At least can beat players and put some good crosses in

He's not a regular for Leeds but I think is well liked there and has been very good in the past (including caps for Germany). Could be a similar signing to Larin and would be an excellent addition I reckon. Expect any fee wouldn't be massive as out of contract at the end of the season, but would command a high salary. I imagine any move would be a subsidised loan and then hoping to sign on a free should we get promoted.

It would've been good to see how Mbick from Charlton was getting on but he's missed matches 3 times this season with a knee injury (bit of a red flag) and not played much. We were linked with signing him for £5mil out of the blue around the deadline but didn't quite get it done. More one for the future though. Charlton's best player is probably Tyreese Campbell on the wing, always looked pretty handy, but we're currently well stocked there.

Was Jander banned or injured / rested yesterday? Was surprised to see him not in the squad but must’ve missed some news

I couldn't be bothered to try and spell his surname! 🤣

Princewill knocking on the door

Think Larin's been off it as he's not fully fit tbh. Came home with an injury after the international break and been having to play as the alternatives are not quite doing it. If Dobbin or Mubama had shown more, I think Larin would've been allowed a bit more recovery time. Interesting to see KWP was the starting right back at the start of the season but in the past 4 games has been subbed off twice at half time, played 24 mins vs Lincoln and left on the bench against Swansea.

Some good goals, "complimented" by some terrible music! Sure he'll come good.

Pretty sure Mubama will be needed to start a game or two soon and if Larin is ever out that Princewill is going to be on the bench. Dibaga looked raw but promising, but with the volume of matches, we'll likely see them in the squad sooner than later.

Totally forgot about Abbott - has he played at all yet? Is Roerslev fit? We've really got to start giving Dobbin some minutes soon too.

I thought one of Mubama's big strengths was running off defenders and finishing chances? Guess what our key attacking midfielders key attribute is - being able to pick out that killer pass between the defenders for the striker. Sounds like it could be a pretty good match up! He's likely to get plenty more chances at least up to January so lets see how he gets on. Fingers crossed he smashes in some more goals - Sunday would be a good starting place!

Almost unbelievable that a sensible decision has been made and we can finally put this to bed. Of course the FA will have wanted a 3 month ban (hilariously harsh) but the (non bias) panel saw sense. There's plenty of much bigger things for the FA to worry about than this and see it's already fallen off the top stories of the BBC Football page, which Middlesborough will no doubt be devastated about.
