Midfield looking much better so far, Madsen unsurprisingly looking much better in a more familiar role.
Celar's press and hold up play has been a big improvement, really hope he gets that goal today. |

They've shown Dembele and Fox sitting behind the bench on the stream. Presumably they both pulled out of the squad late on so the Shepperd thing may not be as ridiculous as it looked. |

Another game where we should've scored at least 3, completely dominated, and then given up a completely preventable goal via a fortunate deflection.
Last three games we've scored 2 from 17 shots on target, whilst conceding 7 from 14. Something has to change, but when it does we'll be back on track. |

He plays the game at his own pace, completely independent of the other 21 players. Not necessarily a bad thing (the beginning of the Plymouth game he was just leaving their midfielders behind every time he got the ball), but it means he probably will drift in and out of games for a while, tonight he did basically nothing, scored and had a hand in the second, then went back to nothing until he went off.
The second goal is a good example of this, everyone else is sprinting around and he's just walking around, even when he's laying it off for Paal. [Post edited 31 Aug 2:42]

Overall not great, but given we played a more changed team than they did you'd have taken a draw before the game. Good to be making it through as well though!
Walsh was very good all game (and a good save in the shootout too), Varane much better in the second half, Lloyd looked good off the bench, and Morrison looks a very capable deputy to Cook/JCS. I actually thought, despite us letting them attack a bit too much, we were better in the second half, the only clear cut chance for either team was Madsen right at the end.
On to Luton! |

I think we're probably done in terms of signings aside from any potential last-minute loans once Premier League clubs have finalised their squads. I do reckon we could still do with a proper replacement for Kakay (i.e. someone who can fill in anywhere across the backline in case of emergency, rather than a not-quite-good-enough starting fullback), if Paal gets injured we don't really have anyone to play LB whilst Fox is also out. |

Really impressed with both of them, if we can get three from them, Andersen, and Chair playing every week we could really kick on. |

The way the announcement is worded makes it sound like Dembele is almost certainly staying beyond the end of the season. Both should go a long way to fixing the problems we saw at the weekend. |

It's likely a lot less than that up front - the tweet says including add-ons and is in euros so I'd assume it's somewhere between €2-2.5 million, which is around what we paid for Celar. |

Really good today, his kicking (distance-wise at least!) is much better than Begovic and he claimed a decent amount of corners/crosses comfortably. It'll be interesting to see what the club decide to do with the keepers next season, he's certainly done himself no harm today. [Post edited 4 May 14:44]

I was hoping we might get a point or two eventually so I'd say a little better than expected |

Up until Sinclair scored at Cardiff I was hoping we might maybe get a point eventually, by the start of September I thought we'd be okay and I couldn't believe how quickly it all went horribly wrong.
When Martí came in I thought we had a chance, and I've been confident about our chances since the Stoke win (although the Stoke and Hull away games came close to changing my mind). It was clear that a major issue over the Christmas break was JCS and Cook not being able to do so many games back-to-back, and everything started coming together as soon as we stopped having a game every 3 days. |

Definitely keen for Walsh to start so we can get a better idea of where he's at. A few players who could get an opportunity to properly prove themselves (EDB, Larkeche, and Cannon mainly). Other than that it'll probably be a relatively full strength team, Adomah and Kakay on the bench to get some farewell minutes at the end?
Walsh
Cannon
Cook or JCS
Fox
Larkeche
Field or Colback
Dixon-Bonner
Smyth
Andersen (Kolli if he's back from injury)
Chair
Armstrong
Then Adomah/Kakay plus some of the youngsters (Aoraha, Bala, Tuck, etc.) coming off the bench |

Where the hell did that come from? We've definitely played better this season but everything fell our way tonight. Nobody put a foot wrong, genuinely don't think there are any standouts because they were all so good (aside from Colback's silly booking) |
