Not being familiar with the players appendages to whom are you referring?

Wonder if this means Holgate will indeed return to Everton and Shea Charles will act as 4th CB cover if required ? Barring injury there is no way THB, Downes or Fraser arent in the match day squad. If Rothwell comes in and another loan that'll be the 5.

I know what you mean, 100 year + record hanging in the balance, up against a former Coach, Sheff Weds who, over the years, we havent always had the best of times against at home.....i mean we are going to lose sometime BUT with Ipswich having a tough game the chance is there to nab that second spot !!

So the people who dont want to sell Adams and reinvest it in a replacement (permanent or loan) are presuambly banking on one of his purple patches going on for a couple of months are they ? Cos lets be honest in between those hot little runs he is bloody awful goalscoring wise and has the most unique way of missing chances!! Its not different than putting your mortgage on a horse race in terms of a gamble.

Just wow !!

Good to see KWP given a complete rest. If any player deserves it this season it’s him.

Read it again, he means why didn’t he play this formation with KWP further forward and put Bree or Holgate at right back.

Hopefully KWP will be given a long overdue rest for the cup game Saturday

By all means 🤣

RM is very keen to shoe horn Stephens in as much as possible isn’t he?

To an extent I have to agree, he isnt brilliant by any means and I do worry that RM wants to shoe horn him in somewhere in the team. He would still be my centre back on the bench option but if while Bree is out he decides to play KWP and Stephens as the full backs then the question is would Jack be a better bet than Manning? Away from home where you defend more I would have to say yes he probably is.

You would hope during the festive period your colleagues would be obliging unless you are a “challenging” person to work with 🤣

Well I get what you are saying and obviuosly he's not going to describe him how I have, however we dont need to go all misty eyed in press conferences, surely his tactics for doing that are behind the scenes? And while you are bigging up his man management style lets not forget he can be quick to call out players for errors, so how does that make them feel ?

The way RM talks about Stephens worries me, it’s like the second coming of the Messiah instead of the return to fitness of an average centre back. I hope he only plays when Bednarek or THB need a break instead of them.

Well I think you are reading too much into that BUT if he does prefer Jack Stephens to either of the current shirt holders the mans an absolute bloody fool.

Didnt he fall out with Ralph ? That was the rumour just after he'd gone from what i can remember.......besides even the owners are different to when he was here so thats kind of irrelevant. The only question I have - is he better than Adams and Mara ? Well thats a bloody big yes then !

Oh I can go back to John Bailey for reasons to dislike Blackburn 🤣

Everytime I watch the side side back side side shuffle that is our style all I can hear in my head is Gordon Strachan's phrase "it's propoganda football" Little substance to it at all.

Not much good when your 9 point cushion to 7th is cut to 6 points

Its on the sky sports app if that’s any help but if you go about halfway down the homepage on Sky Go there’s a “More Live football” heading and it’s there !

In reality we never were, I’m just surprised at this stage we are comfortable in play off places with an 8 point cushion.

He’s not great with clubs that play in red and white stripes with a name beginning with S to be fair so I doubt it 😉

So, am I reading this right? We arent giving a defender of some note any credit for our defence looking more organised and conceding less yet had we contnued to ship goals at a rate of knots he would have been a disaster appoinment, total waste of money ? Yeah?

Ru Paul would have had a bigger impact than Adams in the last 3 months

He’s gonna have to improve a hell of a lot in the next month then !
