I wouldn’t mind seeing Fellows and Scienza swapping sides at times for that reason, and crossing with their stronger foot. Especially if we’re going to play a big lump up top. Fellows especially, when he gets to the byline it’s a shit floated cross to the back post and beyond 

That type of cross was very effective last season for WBA with Maja scoring a lot of his goals from them.

I prefer them where they are, but every three f four times they need to go outside and use their swinger.

On that theme also noticeable that Edozie was the first there. Amazingly he seems to be be well integrated with the rest of the squad. Truly remarkable given the last 6 months, and 2 transfer windows when all we heard that he wanted away.

Suspect he did want away, but clearly didn’t get offers that match the money he is on here. This is his last chance to put himself in the shop window, so he has some self motivation. We benefit from that too, so not a problem. 

Clearly no problem with the other players, but didn’t expect there to be - they have to look after their own interests, so it’s all in the game…

A promising start from Larin and pleased for him. Put himself about and made out he could be a right handful for opposing defences, came across like a more mobile version of Tall Paul

Millwall look to be consistently consistent and good luck to them. Hull, perhaps?  But we still have to play Cov away, Ipswich etc and I think we'll fall short. As we'd only get nil points if we went up unless we spent £200m as I wouldn't put any of our team as a starter in the league above other than we'd get some more games out of it, I don't see what the fascination is. If we were any good, with the large amount of mediocre teams (all of them) we would be streets ahead.

Fascination? It's about the club continuing to be financially viable.

Good to hear. 6 goals in his last Championship season (I think). I know views vary but I thought he was improving again, after injury, and was looking forward to seeing him in the PL. Only for him to get dumped for BBD and Cornet.

He offers a good alternative to Leo, who can fade. So, hopefully we'll see some more of him.

BBD and Cornet.

Sorry. Your therapist was worried you'd stop needing treatment, and asked if I could guarantee some continuing income. 🙂

Watford are apparently hiring Will Stills brother to be their new manager. Shame it came after we payed them, would have been a fun sidenote to the game

Soon got rolled back to the previous version, reported possible vandalism.

Disapproving Dave would be closer IMHO.
