A league 2 striker is better than one who has been scoring goals at Championship level?

Agreed with that point Den, we are missing that type of player, especially in the spine of the team.

Yet there are six points separating us. our problems are that we are overly reliant on youth players and desperately need experience and are being hampered by injuries. Carter and Pickering are two first choice defenders gone for a while and we have lost Hill, Hyam has only just got back as well as pears- tough time.

He is 6ft 3 and great in the air- won 83% of his aerial battles this season and scored 4 goals in 28 games last year- get him in! Also a striker please- who knows what is going to happen.

Sold one player for 19 million Euros and all transfers in the two years after have been cost less than that.

Garrett leaving makes little/no sense. Leonard needs a loan to toughen up for next year.

One more incoming!!!

Objectively I think he has done a good job. The renewal of contracts is something to be acknowledged. Our cash buys on the whole have been excellent and to get the right squad overall will take time. We are also running on a budget of 15% less than last year. This is not Greggs or JDTs fault.

Brittain is on fire!

To give the team more credit look at the players who are missing and we have a small squad anyway!

Key question, are we actually going to change anything? play Hill in midfield or Tronstad? Change the CB? Or are we going to hear this is the plan and avoid relegation is the key from JDT?

Goal!!!

I have had a night to recover for that nonsense yesterday. positives- we can outplay anyone in this league and have some outstanding young players in the squad. negatives- CM, either Travis needs to sit deep alongside Wharton or we need a third CM in there like Garrett because at the moment there is literally a hole and our defence is getting over run. Dolan needs to be dropped as well as Pears- yesterday was one of the worst goal keeping performances I have seen in a long time. Why does he always flap his hands at the defence like they should be doing something? top 6? Let’s target top 10 and a decent cup run 😂

Does this not suggest a lack of fitness as opposed to being injured? Something that JDT commented on when he first arrived. He was also playing in a one up front system alongside the best striker in the division so would explain his lack of mins too? from what I have seen he will be a good signing- let’s not call him injury prone after 7 games of the season (that’s not me quoting you)

Stoke- 15mill for soutar boro- 12 million for their striker, 25 million for Spence and Taverner. Bristol city- Scott- 25 million, semenyo 12 million. That’s for the last two seasons, it explains the outlay on player transfer fees but it is no way near what they have received. Hopefully now with GB leading we can get decent fees for players and then reinvest sensibly.

We need some finishers in the team. Generally a good performance but over passing again and again. Massive positives for me- we should have at least two attackers fit after the international break.

Awesome goal, those touches and finish. Goal of the season contender already!

Wharton is a brilliant prospect but he has not had a great game, far too many missed tackles, players going past him and inaccurate passes. Had this been Dolan the knives would be out!

How many times has he lost the ball??? yes he looks great on the ball at times but we have been caught out in possession a number of times via him.

Hmmm don’t think so 😂

Hedges, Brittain and Ennis need to start in the next game. JRC needs to play CM, we look so much better and Brittain and Ennis actually have some pace!

This has 2-1 loss written over it. We desperately need a pacy winger, someone to break the lines, we are so pedestrian and it’s bloody frustrating! I am tired of Dolan, he will get the odd goal but he is just so average

This is why you need some experienced players, youth will get you so far. At the moment Dolan does little but give the ball away and Leonard is learning his trade. Get Ennis on

Brilliant result. i would love to know the average age of that side, must be one of the youngest starting 11s we have ever chosen!

Blatant dive, should have been a booking
