Reply | Subs last night....

As I said before the goal, I felt we were struggling to get out, keep the ball and create. With the ball coming back off Lloyd to Blackburn every time. I would have brought Kolli on at 9 and moved Lloyd to the left and taken Saito off at that moment. I'm just saying what my opinion was at the time |

I thought the Lloyd sub was the wrong one myself and I dont agree Kolli is best suited as a 10 or wide either. Nothing stuck with Alfie last night to feet and their back line had pace. I said to the guy next to me no long before Colback scored that I would bring on Kolli and move Alfie wide as we were getting stuck in our own half, and Kolli would interplay better with Chair and the wingers and give us greater control and more goal threat |

I dont think this is about money this is about having first dibs in the summer from the Spurs puppy farm. This is about having something in the bank with our relationship. Warburton explained this in an interview recently (might have been Hoopsa's) that sometimes you take a loan now at no cost to get the next one. |

Big difference though between how he's been played at 10 before (almost in the hole or behind the 2nd striker) and how Marti played him last night, starting deeper in a midfield 3 and drifting to the left (Morgan going to the right). Previously when played at Traditional 10, he has struggled to affect the game as was easily man marked by the opposition 6.
Always felt he would end up in the centre midfield |

His passing also, there was one first half where he came out with the ball down the left and planted a perfect 60 yard cross field ball on Smyth's chest. At times especially first half, he was acting as playmaker. Hence I was calling him Ronnie Beckenbauer alongside our Jimmy Cafu |

There may be accounting reasons, why they want the renewals in January rather than earlier.
However certainly for a player like Dunne, a Championship defender in the form of his life. This contract renewal or next contract will be the most lucrative of his career. If I was his agent that is what I would be saying to him. That could be a strong position as things stand now, but all it takes is an injury and his position would be severely weakened. I'm glad the club has (so far) held out for its position |

Did not think we played to bad in the end, the Korean looks useful, thought we looked better after the subs. At the end of the day defence and keeper have cost us the game today.
Back to back losses but more worryingly is the goals against. Need to tighten up at the back again |

I'd imagine it was Dunne's decision, they dont get to bid stage if the players reps have not indicated they might be interested. |

gotta say but Nardi should be saving the first and tip the 2nd over the bar, though Fox asleep both times really poor footwork and balance
We look dangerous down the right and in danger down our left. I think Paal has done Ok but Field and Fox pretty poor IMHO. Lloyd gives us threat in behind but nothing is sticking to his feet |

At the end of the day he will get more money, maybe a promotion under his belt and possibly some premiership games. He’s not going to turn it down. But let’s be honest 18 months ago he was a bit part player, 3 months ago we would have said 5th choice centre back. Like most of the team he had a poor start. He has been sensational in the last few months as he was in the last few months of last season.
It’s a huge shame but it is what it is, FFP means we can’t hand out big contracts Willy nillly and not all at the same time. It’s why we do them in Jan. |

Cards on the table, live near the flight path. My understanding is that it won't be until the end of the parliament before they are able to actually put anything through so we are talking at least a decade before this happens. I get the view this is less about Heathrow and more about driving inward investment through optics by showing foreign investors they are ploughing ahead with changes to planning.
If they were being overtly political as the right would often be they shooting for Gatwick where are far more Tory / Lib Dem constituencies dont be surprised if they flip to that come the end of the parliament |

I think it was a Mark Warburton interview which talked about how clubs will sometimes take a player on loan from a premiership club in order to get a signing in the next transfer window. I think this is about building relationships with Tottenham and giving us first dibs on potential future releases or rising stars in positions we might need to strengthen next year |

He could play the Bannon role and the set pieces would be a hell of a lot better. But no its too disruptive and would change the way we play |

Question is whether Edwards can play on the left. I think we need Cook back because the on-field leadership yesterday was poor particularly in the back line where we needed to be more direct as our tactics through the press were not working.
Chair is an interesting conundrum. He gives us so much. more defensively. But the 4-3-3/4-1-4-1 formation does not suit as he needs someone to help him get into space to be effective. Morgan is going to the right. Field to the left. The whole left side from Fox, Paal, Field and Chair struggled to get Chair into the position to be an attacking threat because none of them are particularly good passers (missing JCS there) . Not helped by a poor display from Frey. In the 4-2-3-1 or the 3-4-2-1 Chair has better passers and a 10 to play off to work the space. Chair will be more effective IMHO with Colback and Kolli on the pitch but not sure that is right for Millwall |

1st half was a stalemate, I think we expected them to play 3 at the back and both teams set up for a mid block. Game was far more suited to Kolli than Frey, especially as we were not prepared to go long. Our left side was dysfunctional all game, Fox, Paal, Field and Chair. As good as I Thought Paal was at Hull Patterson out muscled him and he was very poor today.
2nd half game went how I thought it might, Morgan tired Bannon took over again. Colback weakened us in midfield. Lloyd was the wrong choice IMHO. We looked very leggy especially Dunne and Smyth and the goal came from a tired Dunne mistake.
I dont think our game smarts were great today especially the back 4 and the goal kicks, it clearly was not working and even Marti was screaming at them to go more direct and we kept playing ourselves into trouble or giving the ball away poor leadership from Fox at the back for me.
Run was always going to come to an end, I thought 2-0 Wednesday before the game, they are a bogey team for us and Marti. |

If I was him I would be wanting assurances re Marti's future. Keep going anywhere like we are and I dont see Marti here next season unless we are promoted. |

Fox and Edwards tomorrow. Morrison on for the last ten minutes maybe would not be surprised if Cook not even on the bench gonna be some "names" that won't be making the squad soon because Kolli, Lloyd and Morgan have cemented those spots |

Strange game played seemingly on a farmers recently ploughed field. I thought Morgan was terrific, Fields worse game for sometime (every pass was backwards!)but looked like we were on for a draw at best and possibly a loss until the subs changed the game. Well deserved goal for Paal who has hit form since the return of Chair whose defensive work often goes unnoticed. Great 2nd half from Varane as well. Lloyd caused carnage and Saito had his best minutes for the club and they will get the plaudits however we defended really well and ultimately I have to give MOTM to ... Christian Nourry.
Because that 1st Jan deal to bring in Ronnie Edwards won us that game today. JCS out again we would have had to start with Dunne and Ashby (who has fallen off a cliff since Xmas). He was superb as was Fox as was Dunne as was Paal |
