Due in no small part to the nature of the ground (think sardines), I think it was as close as I've experienced to terrace style (ahem) 'limbs' since all-seaters came in. |

This is the sort of post I was expecting to read when logging in today. Enjoying a great awayday, cautious optimism, while recognising it's early days, and the result could easily have gone the other way.
Really quite shocked about the number of hole-picking posts. Enjoy the moment FFS! We're bedding in half a new squad, most with no experience in this league, our best player is injured, yet we've gone to two just relegated teams, each of whom still have some quality players, gone behind twice, yet come back with 4. points. Oh and we won a cup game. |

I'm yet another who was DT first Stan second...tho that kinda swapped round when DT went to Everton and Stan stayed put.
Paul Parker and Ale Faurlin are probably my top two from the 80s onwards. |

Likewise Bournemouth the other day quickly splashing out two thirds of the Solanke dosh - all with their 12k capacity stadium... |

That’s the one I don’t get.
4 & 8 were the old school midfield numbers, 5&6 always centre backs.
Was there some influential Italian I missed who made 6 a sexy midfielder? |

Equally, there's a trend (pundits more than commentators) of referring to some players by their first name - especially 'Trent', like they're all best mates with him. |

Reply | Centre Mid - do we need Hayden
at 14:54 19 Aug 2024
...yep, left back arguably the only position where we don't have any cover.
Some people may not rate all the cover we have in other positions, but left back is the only one with no one obvious to step in if the first choice gets injured. |

...but the club has paid to sign Varanne and extend EDB's contract. Also Field signed a contract extension recently; and we're committed to another year of Colback.
We can't afford to rack & stack. |

I simply don't think we can afford him.
Looks like we're sticking with 4231. We have 4 players for the 2 - Field / Colback, then EDB with a contract extension, and Varane freshly signed. That's the path, for better or worse, we've opted to go down.
If we start having 5 players to cover 2 positions, we're taking risks we shouldn't take imho. |

This re Celar 100%.
Scraps on Sat, then came into a $hit second half performance yesterday. At one point last night, he controlled a hopeful clearance really nicely on the touch line, held off his marker, looked to shimmy away from a second CU player, only for a third to come in to press him - all without another hooped shirt in sight.
He may end up more Conor Washington than Clive Allen, but let's give it a good dozen games, eh? |

Equal parts downright hilarious (way too many genuine LOLs to single out just one) and 'deep dive' insightful, ably backed up by the oppo supporting cast.
I feel genuinely clued up now on all these clubs.
Cov will be interesting - they seem to be doing everything right, but that sounds like a bit of a rum do with the coach.
And spare a thought for Kieffer Moore, this year's model for "gets teams promoted every season but never deemed good enough for a shot at the Prem". |

Is he a direct replacement for Hayden, meaning we have 4 players (Field, Colback, EDB, Varane) competing for 2 spots?
I'd assumed that when we were linked with him...but just wondering whether the lack of transfer activity in the positions further forward means Marti's looking at 433 , or the old Xmas tree 4321 (so 3 from these 4 start - suspensions permitting, obvs). |
