Ings has done fuck all for about 4 years Why do we keep banging on about him

18 shots and only 2 on target (discounting the Robinson posts) is very poor We need a striker and a winger/No.10

We’re having real problems playing against sides good at counter attacking, and unfortunately thats going to be a popular tactic against us I could blame Stephens and Bazunu for the 2nd but it was shit all round, we’d majorly over committed I didn’t think we were that bad but for all our depth we look devoid of ideas up top, I don’t think 3 atb helps either, its unnecessary, move to a standard 2 cb formation and utilise the extra man forward… Too many crosses, not enough take ons and no striker able to occupy CBs We need recruitments, I thought we’d be ok but we definitely need a forward to lead the line

Horrendous defending from Stoke but bullet header from THB Game on

Shite this We need a striker

Im assuming its because he expects us to press and Arma is high energy Which… coincidentally fits one of Downs’ attributes, work rate, albeit in a bigger frame

Not sure im a fan of leading a line with Arma leading the line although at home against lesser opponents to last week we should have more opportunity to press them Lets see Nice to see Stewart and Downs on the bench

That was never the full reason, he wanted assurances for breakthrough and didn’t get them so pushed to come back

I don’t think it was that bad, IIRC his parents are split and one of them and agent have been refusing to sit down for contract talks for over a year It is what it is and unfortunately the games the game… he’s still been playing and training and hasn’t spat his dummy out £42m + 20% sell on is fantastic, especially as we have the emergence of Robinson, too many forwards and his contract only has 2 years left

No way they can afford him in league one

Who else has there been ?

He’s a very good RB for this level Thats a great signing, absolutely sorts one of our problem positions Im assuming Sugawara’s days are numbered

I can’t see this happening lads tbh

Armenian journalist Robert Markosyan 🇦🇲 on Eduard Spertsyan 🇦🇲: "Krasnodar, which is supposed to 'love and value' Eduard Spertsyan, is compromising his future with all sorts of false excuses. In reality, there is only one explanation: 'selfishness'"

Wasn’t it Watford ? Im sure it was at Fleming park ? The other one I played in I was asked to play attacking CB IIRC 😂

Assuming its due to the club being russian and the issues surrounding the war etc

Nah Lighthouse is real, I played in midfield with him for one of the Saints fan games once 😂

Yeah my bad forgot i was on the dibling thread

Really getting confused with this now, do we have a deal ? Don’t we have a deal ? Have they moved the goalposts ? Are we just trying to get the deal done ?

- RWs are in high demand - He’s english AND U21 - Super highly rated at youth level - He was fine last year, i a squad that struggled I think 40-50m is comfortably reasonable

They’ve put in a bid apparently

I think some bits will begin to click this weekend and we’ll run out 3-1 winners Dibling with a goal that will sign him off as far as his ‘career’ here is concerned We’ll concede a sloppy goal as 3 atb causes too many issues

Is this strong competition in the room with us

Id imagine Spertsyan is the type of signing you just leave the offer there, if it goes through he’s potentially the best player in the league (if his form carries) Seems the Azaz links have come about after Rudoni rejected us Just a hunch really

Id imagine Azaz is the Rudoni alternative But yeah… excited for that one
