Cantwell will become more effective once Leonard and Gueye learn to stay onside as well. Lack of ability and experience are one thing but that's pretty damn basic. Really limits the offensive outlets when they're straying offside far too often.

They didn't spend much more than us in summer so presumably set aside some of the Clarke cash. If only we'd made a few quid on outgoings that we could reinvest.....oh hang on a minute 🙄

I think we need to persevere with Leonard, it's not going to do him much good if we keep chopping and changing. It's a shame it didn't go in on Saturday when he rattled the bar, I can't help but thinking with a decent run of starts the goals will come though.

Forss has been injured rather than out of favour and the way its looking due to departures Boro will need him too....

Hulls away form was also dire going into that match, Sunderland only edged past them 1 nil - won't be easy at all.

He's literally obsessed

Either that or a clash with a prem team, anything more interesting than another championship team again

They've made a fair few changes though, not disputing the hard working and well drilled part though.

Not just Leonard but Weimann too now. As an aside this woman commentating on ESPN is getting on my wick. Toth has played some dangerous balls out from the back. Probably a dose of nerves like.

Have you seen half of them play? I certainly haven't.

True. My only slight gripe with Eustace is he never really involves fringe players in reserve games. For his faults JDT had that part nailed down and i was a big fan of keeping everyone match fit. Injuries or suspensions are the main opportunity now for them.

What would you have done with regards to cover at centre half though realistically? Because that all it should be really, cover. Up front is a completely different kettle of fish, if we can loan in anyone remotely decent they should walk into the team!

Don't expect much, it's dumped by the docks with not a great deal around bar a few pubs and it's always fucking freezing without fail! We badly need to get back to winning ways, I wouldn't be resting as many players as some on here. I'd honestly be inclined to try something different attacking wise though. Gueye up top with Leonard playing off him for the knock downs. Nothing to lose really, we can't afford to experiment too much in the league but I don't think anyone would have a meltdown if we went out today but showed a lot more attacking threat.

Not too bothered about Sanderson. We needed cover at centre half, we were never getting in a top notch prem loan as cover and nobody would meaningfully break up the Hyam and Batth partnership. McFadzean is effectively now a coach it seems, perhaps his legs have gone a bit. Tbh not fully against that either as he really gets involved on the touchline and presumably in the dressing room. On the flipside is it just a number to add to Waggotts tally when he starts saying we brought in X amount of players in Jan to support John.....

I wasn't expecting much this window tbh, but it wasn't expecting shite like Forshaw to sign. At least signing cheap foreign unknowns there's a chance, no matter how slim, they'll end up semi decent. We know what we're getting with Forshaw and it's utter dross.

A league 1 loan is probably exactly what he needs, but there's absolutely no chance we could allow that as it stands.....

Why? Are you just posting random nonsense as per?

Chaddy would still get a full season ticket, he can make every single game regardless of day or kick off time 👍

Fair play for trying something different. I've been mentioning it for years now that it would appeal to me BUT it would be a lot more beneficial if it was done at the start of the season rather than this stage. Hopefully the incentive works and they do just that next season, I'd almost certainly purchase one.

That cunt Suhail holding the purse strings for one?

When did Toth even play a game of some description? Can't recall seeing his name mentioned for the U21's at all lately ), believe he did have some kind of injury though. If he is called upon for the first time I suspect he's gonna be a little rusty....

It's been known O'brien is coming back for a while, is Nixon claiming its his exclusive? 🤣 I don't think he'll be too happy either, sounds like he was enjoying life in LA, surprisingly.

Is this Scott Michaels character a member on here?

I did just that following that comment from JDT, you'll be surprised to know I didn't get a reply 😏
