So a straight forward and good thread gets hijacked by a little dig at people with different opinions. Then when it's pointed out it's the fault of others and we get treated to the walking thesaurus. For someone with a love of words it's incredible how often you tell them they misunderstand what you are trying to say but they all come away with the same assumption. I now look forward to being insulted and being told what an idiot I am in no less than 500 words. |

Would Russell 'Sticking to my philosophy' Martin be interested? Maybe if he gets an allowance for polo neck jumpers and hair stylists he would be tempted |

Hopefully it continues. Maybe it shows that with certain tbjngs certain people at the club willing to acknowledge that with particular things, there are better ways of doing things. A good thing if more people being more 'humble' rather than just Marti and the team |

I think for the time being now it will be Morrison and JCS, if fit. Seeing Morrison as Cools long term successor it will be interesting to see him play alongside JCS. Cook is a good organiser and always the senior person in the back four. Wonder if JCS has the organisational side to his game. Morrison and JCS both good on the ball and distribution a part of their play. Might help with our build up play with a natural left and right combination who can play those progressive passes into midfield |

It was strange but during the game I thought he didn't quite look right. A couple of times he looked a bit tentative in his movement. |

I remember in one of his first games running back towards our goal and get got pushed off the ball so easily. Suddenly now he seems to win all of his physical battles. Reads it well and when out of position covers the ground so well. Always seems to win the tackle especially the ones where he is stretching. Slowly his distribution is improving. I get the feeling that Marti is the right manager for him as he will make him even better. Also love the relationship he has with his team mates and the fans. Really seems to get the club |

Saito weak? Really? I have thought throughout he is a tough so and so. Gets back and puts pressure on the opposing team and often wins the ball back. When he has the ball he is a bugger to get off it even when defenders all over him |

I wouldn't change it. A 30 minute cameo is totally different to starting. Chair always needs time to get fit and sharp. Saito offers so much tracking back. Don't think Chair could handle that volume of work. Slowly build up his fitness. He's had two big injuries this season. Keep brining him on and when the time is right either start him or an opportunity will present itself. Despite Smyths impact recently, I think he would maybe make way. Him coming off then bench with his pace against a tiring defence would be good. Also at some point Dembele to come back too. Soon we will have some nice options. I like Morgan in the advanced role too. Whilst the team are improving, players can't just come back in because of who they are or what they have done. Need to earn it and why risk pushing Chair too soon if our form and players form is improving |

Morgan just getting better. Quite like him playing a bit more advanced. Maybe not as a 10 but being allowed to get about the pitch. His energy helps with our press when we do it and he doesn't mind getting stuck in. He has a footballing brain too. |

I personally never said they were. Still holding judgement on Madsen. Think he will play better in a team full of confidence and playing well. The only player I wouldn't have near the first team at the moment is Ashby. I know he has been playing out of position but just really unsure about him. |

What I liked about that js that we are starting to play a bit of football now. Long way to go but some nice bits of play. Also like that at time we bullied them
Varane immense again. I remember in one of his first games he got brushed off the ball. Don't think that will happen again. So strong. Covers well and distribution slowly improving. Plenty still to work on |

Yep no doubting he made a difference. Sometimes just needs to go for it. Tough as well and fights for everything. Just knock it passed and run. If he loses it at least the defender is 10 yards furthur back and he can close them down. Towards the end when Smyth came off would have liked Alfie to go out why and have Frey bully Dickie for a few minutes |

I'm really struggling with Ashby. At the moment I really don't want him near the team. I know he is a young player playing out of position but at times he doesn't look like a footballer. Always seems to make the wrong choice. Does the opposite to the thing he should. So many times cuts in and passes it in field and into danger. So many times he came running out if defence to close someone down and left the runner to go in behind. |

I just wish he would trust his pace more. Tries to almost dribble passed the defender when sometimes today he could have knocked it passed the last man and ran. He seems unsure and allows the defending team to catch up |

He has had a good game today. He will also have blips but great potential there. Never sure what his best position is. What I like though, he has good football intelligence, we played some nice stuff off him with his link up play. He is also confident and aggressive. Aggressive in his closing down but also his movement. Make the defenders think and occupies them which creates space for others |

Saito has to stay in. Got a football brain and works hard in defence and attack. Smyth comes out of the team for me. Yes he has great pace and works hard tracking back but fed up with the final ball always being naff and falling over looking for free kicks when in promising positions |
