Last week we poured out our comments and every single one is magnified in this game. No one outside of Cook deserves their pay today. Anderson should be released aka Cannon. We could have been 2 up inside the first half if Anderson could use the ball. Great positions, poor decisions. Dembele was great at running through middle. Dunne was absolutely awful. Again.. rather have field there. EDB would be better than Madsen. Saito was bossed. I would also prefer to see Walsh get a look in as #1. I can see why Hayden was valued so highly. I do think Varane, Colback Fox, JCS , Walsh and Chair . But some of this team today looked like they do not belong.. period! |

Interesting opinions all. To my point I look back on last year when Marti played a few players in games they should not have been in. Lately, I think we have universally questioned his stubbornness with Anderson. For me, I think Walsh deserves a shot. I was sure he would get a run last night. The other whiner is that Field was so good as a CB he should get another look in at the job. The Defensive unit with Dunne at RB, JCS, Cook and Paal is clearly far better than any other combo we have seen. |

Should have been done by the 31st August. Indicates to most that the club is feeling stable enough to make that statement. |

I think we should adjust expectations to include the possibility Chair is sold in January. Current lines effort may well be toward KD and Saito replacing him. Chair is still up there with the best talents in the 2nd tier so could be leveraged for the next round of imports. |

I do think all we have seen so far has been all about Marti shuffling his deck and trying to get different combos firing. That’s it. In my gentle opinion, we played Lutron x2, SHeff U (another parachute rich club) and 2 of our bogey teams from last year. Our only loss is to the club at the top. Agreed with the opinion, that KD needs to be the 10.. period. |

So, I (of course ) looked for his performance at the int break and saw he had an assist. I see him as a very different striker from Frey and possibly NOT the lone striker QPR are requiring for the 4-2-3-1 formation. |

I never do this, but I cant resist joining the festives. 1.-JCS . Day off Sat..Liam Morison ready for a run out too. . Ashby at RB is rested. Field only had a half game Sat. Considerate of rest (and the obvious Marti rotation policy), team Walsh, Ashby/Dunne, JCS Cook/Morrison Paal, Madsen, Field, Varane, Dembele Smythe Saito. |

Thank you for my blue & white fix for today. 1. Frey. I think he compares (favorably) to Chaz Austin. As as been much commented he was out of shape, but hopefully now has some oxygen therapy. I really do think the providers (Dembele, Saito, Paal et al) will provide him with plenty of opportunities. I also hope/expect Celar is more counterpart than partner. 2. Marti rotation: Based on a years sample, I estimate that Mats, Field, Colback, Varane will rotate in that MF triangle. I think Hayden was not as critical on the field as we often seem to remember him. I would dare say Field's play at the end of the season contributed FAR more. But it is about the whole recipe. 3. Contracts: EVERY team has pending free agents. But I do hope Paal gets a good offer and stays. As opposed to getting a take it or leave it. [Post edited 11 Sep 23:07]

Guys- I just don't see a place for Hayden especially with Mads and Varane added. |

Curious. I just saw Dwight Gayle linked to Hibs. Given that he is 34, just had a tour with Derby which was praised even with a disappointing injury hit campaign. I just wanted to add my opinion that he could represent a low cost-high yield impact striking option off the bench, and might like to stay near home. |

yes! Together they brought too many defenders in the penalty area and diffused the threat so apparent earlier on. With Kolli on the prior shape was restored. I was very disappointed that Saito came off. And I agree that KD is more effective centrally. |

In my humble observation, we are very similar to most teams punching at our weight. Usually linked to similar players and with similar challenges. Indeed a big lol for the fact Bosun is now a Stoke player. I hope this new influx of players DOES yield more return than the post-Eze class of Willock , Kerman and Andre. |

Comment should be re- directed to a new thread. From my observations of Marti, he is not afraid to throw players out there and see what they do. Case 1, Richard’s got a look once, now he is on loan. Case2, EDB has fit in the 1st 15 and rotates in or makes the bench. Case 3, Walsh is now the back-up keeper who I hope sees plenty of time as the starter. Tuck and Kolli both have starter and both are arguably in need of extra time at a level below, ala Kelman. I do like the argument made that Jack Colback could be the one sacrificed to make room for the newbie. |
| Forum Reply | Should Dykes play alongside Field in midfield at 02:10 19 Aug 2024
I have been highly critical of Dykes. But what he did yesterday expressed our frustration. All we want is that ! The finish was epic. In measure consider Michy and Jan both had similar opportunities. Maybe we have OUR Lyndon back!! To add to the conversation about the re-constituted MF: I see Field sitting in front of the CBs, then Varane in the pivot, with Karaoke ahead of him. Field then can protect Varane who can use his passing range. No doubt there will be a rotation (Home vs away). [Post edited 19 Aug 23:04]

Ditto. I first saw him scoring against Germany. And I thought he was a great find for us. Congrats to him and hope he has a good season. |
