Saint Matty 76

Ben Jacobs is a bit of a chancer but it would be hilarious if they're getting scared into this by the prospect of him being cup-tied.

1 in 1 this season.

Was really highly rated when he first appeared. Played 40 games in the Championship and then 36 in the Prem at 18/19 years old, was linked to Barcelona and United in 2020 but career seems to have stalled a little bit since. 1 year left on his deal, and the kind of player we should definitely be going for (unfulfilled potential akin to Hojbjerg, Romeu, Bertrand etc) whilst still at a young age. RM's comments yesterday seemed to insinuate we'd replace Tino, even without KWP's likely departure. I'd be surprised if it wasn't Aarons & Bree for the season on the right. Championship YPOTY in 18-19, and in the Championship TOTY in 18/19 and 20/21.

Hopefully we can keep hold of Che. If not, an immediate replacement in Piroe would be perfect. "They (Arma and Che) are both top quality – that’s as long as we keep both of them. If one leaves, we will have to replace him."

Arma won't ever work in a team this favoured due to the deep lines he'll come up against. Makes far more sense to have somebody like Che (Piroe if Che is sold?) on the pitch for the first 70 minutes and then let Adam stretch defences when we're hopefully a goal or two ahead.

McCarthy Bree - Lyanco - Charles - Larios S. Armstrong - Lavia - Aribo Amo-Ameyaw - Adams - Djenepo A completely rotated team and one that would probably be enough to see us through? Or give a few of the players more minutes?

The two WP's excellent. Coin flip.

Wasn't anything too bad. Was asked if the fans can be excited about seeing him here next year and said something along the lines of "I'm just taking it game by game and we'll see what happens".

Well… Tella’s going based on that last question haha.

The only worry is that KWP, JWP, Tella and Che off the bench were our best players, and they could all leave in the next month. Stu was very good off the bench as well, I thought. Anybody watching that thinking we were negative/especially slow was just trying to find something to moan about.

That last 10 minutes was fucking brilliant, did they touch the ball?

What a fucking good goal that is, come on

I’m very happy with how we’ve played, it’s been nowhere near as irrelevant passing as people have suggested. We’re just not making the final ball and the striker isn’t good enough for this kind of football.

This small fast blokes gonna make it 2-1 on the counter from a long ball

Che is better than Arma, get him on whilst he’s here.

Here’s the test, can we break them down…

Well that was about as dominating a half as you'll see. The progression we really need to see now from a RM team is killing this game off ASAP.

Edozie is excellent.

Exactly this but with Aribo in for Bree. COYR.

We're inevitably going to be fuming at the lack of it soon!

Not that I wasn’t gutted about relegation or anything, but how nice is it going into games with a genuine expectation of winning again?

Think you’re absolutely spot on here. I can’t help but feel like it’ll be a case of the only way we lose is if we beat ourselves, without wanting to sound too disrespectful. We’ve all understandably only been taking in what’s happening on our end, but the last 2/3 months at Sheffield Wednesday have been an absolute shit show by all accounts.

Livramento, ABK, Larios, Perraud, Onuachu and Mara not travelled. I'll go with this as a final prediction - Bazunu KWP - Bednarek - Stephens - Manning Smallbone Alcaraz - JWP Tella - Arma - Edozie McCarthy, Lyanco, Bree, Charles, Lavia, S. Armstrong, Djenepo, Amo-Ameyaw, Adams

I could be wrong but I believe it's 40% of the profit (£4m), not the total amount. Would work out as us receiving £25.6m.

Apparently £40m.
