Least it a new name. Another 19 year old Ben striker to be shunted out wide? Anyone seen him play, decent?

Jeesh, if that’s true I would keep it for the summer. Get a Gallagher on loan, along with a winger and centre half.

Very soft

Travis running the midfield

Bennett is shocking. Everyone else playing well

ESPN + showing it in the states.

Harrison Reed is a fabulous footballer, hands down our best player. All the stops to sign him please. The running the lad puts in during 90mins is incredible, good tackler, passer, has it all for a centre midfielder. If Southampton are stupid enough to sell him we should be all over it. Give him the armband and a five year contract. Get Bauer in now, enough of the speculation. He seems to fit the bill. Sign a Striker.

I thought that was about as complete a game as Armstrong has had all season, still only about 75%. Looked dangerous for most of the game. Got a rapturous congratulations from Tony when he came off. More of the same please Adam!

I actually agree with you. I said after Sheff Utd, that holding the ball up well, (sometimes) seems to be about the only thing he is offering at the moment.

Bell played well, and I'm shocked to see some don't agree. He actually was turning away from pressure today and driving forward with the ball. He got beat for pace once in the first half that I can remember.

Could see that, Barnes has no business in the Championship. He was a bloody nightmare today, not often you see Reed having to wrestle a guy to the ground cause he cant stop him. Bennett on skates all day. Stevens and then Barnes, Hurry back Ryan Nyambe.

It was panic stations from everyone Dave, I though Bell did more defending and intercepting than normal today, and looked to support up the left, particularly first half. Had a good game.

Amari Bell was excellent I thought, lightyears better than Williams who wasn't even in the squad. Reed is just incredible.

Start the car. I think he is absolutely mince

Raya Nyambe Rodwell Mulgrew Bell ———Reed———-Evans—— Palmer———--Dack——-Rothwell ——————-Graham——————

I think you play all three behind Graham and have Evans and Reed holding in midfield. That would be a side that could play some football.

Absolutely.

Thought he was bloody brilliant, apart from a few lapses in concentration. Put that down to a lack of playing time. Boys a player.

Thanks. Maybe the most controversial, especially as it was before his Pre-Birmingham reincarnation appearance.

I just can’t fathom the handing out of new contract plethora that has been going on this year. Bennett, Conway, Smallwood, Lenihan and Evans. (To a lesser extent, Dack when he has plenty of time left on his previous deal.) Those 5 guys are not top half championship material, so what’s the target here. Is Mowbray just so loaded with money he can reward his favorites? Moving forward, couple of things I would do. 1) Smallwood is out for me. Don’t play him after suspension unless there are serious injury problems. Not good enough. 2) Bell is first choice at left back until we can get a better one, Williams is on the bench, period. 3) Play Rothwell and Palmer more, with Dack. We actually did well in that area for the first time in months. Palmer I thought was maybe our best player up until he got hooked for god knows what reason. Rothwell will give it away more but he will make things happen. He glides with the ball and causes problems cutting inside. He needs to be in there to link with Dack. He and palmer linked up well to set up Brereton for his..um...shot. 4) Armstrong to the bench, and weight room. 5) Give Rodwell another go at centre back. 6) Consider formation change. 4-2-3-1 is not working with our personnel right now, we can’t keep a hold of the ball up top and it’s inviting pressure. 7) Have a peak at the young lads that’ Johnson has. I really do think Dack is away next week, I just don’t see his camaraderie coming through anymore. Strong chance that something may already be arranged. I think if you get 17m your laughing. Spend half in January, and use rest to strengthen in the summer. Shopping List: New Centre Half Suggestions: Efe Ambrose(Hibs) - Contract up in summer, their best player. Been interested before. Tony knows him. Patrick Bauer(Charlton)- He is big and he plays centre half, what else do you need? Grant Hanley(Norwich)-Someone mentioned he could go out on loan. Would be first name on the team sheet. New Left Back Suggestions: Brian Oviedo(Sunderland) - 40k a week, if they don’t sell him, would they consider a loan? Giorgos Kyriakopouos (Asteris Tripolis) - My guy, watched him closely over two legs vs Hibs in the Euro Cup. Outstanding left back, best player on the pitch both games. Centre Midfielder Suggestions: Joe Aribo(Charlton) - Assuming Dack leaves, and Smallwood is ostracized like he should be, we could use another centre midfielder. Aribo is also out of contract in the summer, and could fancy the step up. Winger Suggestions: Oil Burke(West Brom) - Not getting a game at the minute but is an out and out Right Winger, crying out for one. Thinking if Dack is interesting West Brom, could be used in a cash plus Burke deal, or at least a loan. Harry Chapman(Boro) - Bring the boy home, wont be expensive. Jordan Jones(Kilmarnock) - Out of contract in the summer, silky left winger, one of the best players in Scotland. Marcus Maddison(Peterborough) - Maybe the price is more reasonable now. Destroying league one again. Naturally left winger with a cracking cross on him. Striker Suggestions: Alexander Sorloth(Palace) - Massive target man, not getting a sniff at Palace, looks set to join someone in the championship. Lucas Joao(Sheff Wed) - Have to mention him everytime. Strange time at Sheff wed, they play him for a few weeks then he is out again, they have way too many strikers over there. Sam Gallagher(Southampton) - he will be available on loan. In’s: Sørloth 3m Bauer 500k Aribo 1m Chapman 350k Burke Loan/Part Exchange - Option to buy Kyriakopolous 2m Out Dack to West Brom 16.5m plus Burke Tomlinson sold Williams Sold Nutall loan Smallwood out of you can Might be a shitty plan but thats something like what I would try to do this January. Mowbray loves a player with an expiring contract in a cut price deal. Keep Palmer. Signing two wingers gives us the option to go 4-4-2 at home with Sorloth and Graham up top. Lump it up I don’t care, better than these boring passes across the back line which is what’s going on now. Rothwell is Dacks replacement and if not Palmer can play the AMC in 4-2-3-1.

I’ll go pick him up. Give him the arm band too.

Front 6 for the next game has to be ------Reed----Travis---- Palmer--Dack--Rothwell -----------Graham---------

Reed is

So it’s cool for him to just collapse after 70mins every game? Not all his fault but he is the captain and at the middle of a defense that is capitulating. Your talking about a knighthood?

Who was it that got caught out by the bounce for Sharps first goal, right before he hit it. Thought it was Mulgrew
