There was an article from the Athletic last week saying a move is highly unlikely due to the poor relationship between the clubs. Guess it's hard to say if that's definitely the reason but it certainly wouldn't make a deal any easier.

Not sure Benson necessarily chose Hull over us, sounds like Burley refused to deal with us.

Plus he's a genuine right sided player. It's gone quiet on him though.

The problem has never been passing it around at the back. It's about drawing the opposition out of shape by moving it around quickly and with a bit of purpose.

Just seen that Cardiff fans reckon they played better today than they have in months! Think they had quite a changed side and missed a hatful of chances as well as the penalty misses. Sheffield Wednesday only had 5 shots on target and won 4-0.

Yep. Neto back for Wolves now though so not convinced he'd get a great deal of time there. Leeds seem inundated with attacking midfielders/wingers so I'd be surprised if he went there, guess Gnoto might be off. If Hull get Benson then I can only see them playing Carvalho centrally, which he can do to be fair.

It sounds weird because he scored and I thought things were looking up after a few decent cameos but today he struggled against League Two opposition in a dominant display.

He tied Manning in knots for the disallowed goal but let's be honest, it's not exactly a good marker for how good he is because my nan could do that.

I think KWP said in an interview he really wants to be a captain at some point. I'd imagine he's one of the most respected players in the dressing room. Bednarek would be a different type of captain but both good shouts.

You say you think KWP is too quiet to be skipper yet Armstrong has been great but seems one of the most quiet players on the pitch?

I think 2 is a premier league rule?

Id like to see the majority of the side made up by those usually on the bench plus a few youngsters. Would be great to keep the momentum and the unbeaten record going.

To be fair we seem to have sorted out this issue at home. Granted it's still a problem away from home though.

Yeah I'm not convinced Stephens is necessarily a "gaffers boy" in that sense. On the other hand, Martin and Manning are clearly quite close.

Thought I was watching us away from home tbh. Similar style of play to Brighton, they controlled the game but lacked the killer instinct in the final third.

A few links today to European sides being interested in Bednarek. I wonder if his agent is putting his name out there?

I'd imagine he's pushing to get more game time after his illness and injuries. A few minutes off the bench here and there isn't really going to help him.

Agree and this is how I've always seen Stephens, a decent leader and good back up for us but no more than that. He'd probably be in most starting 11s in this league apart from say the top 5-6 sides.

Yep Martin went on record and said we wanted to replace Tella in the summer. We tried to sign Patrick Roberts but Sunderland priced us out.

I think the club agrees considering we are looking at a Carvalho/Brooks/Benson sort of player.

Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea. You'd be incredibly disappointed if we didn't get 6 points from those two games.

Well this is a forum, where fans post things about the team. How's that for genius.

Well, it's pretty bonkers that anyone would think Stephens is a better option at right back than KWP. So you'd assume there's another reason behind it.

Well if that isn't the case then I'm concerned that our manager thinks Stephens is the answer at right back.

Russell Martin has done a really good job since we lost those 4 games in a row but surely he has to sack off this obsession with shoehorning Stephens into the side. The back 4 has been totally settled and we were keeping clean sheets for fun. Why change it?
