  1. Solid team but we have to score first. Really tough game and a big test of our top 6 credentials.
  2. Not a chance McBurnie is coming here. Far too expensive and there would be a fair few clubs interested in the championship.
  3. Sickener but we didn't stand a chance with 10 men. Still, 6 wins in a row before today so we can't complain too much. It's a miracle we are where we are at this stage with a bang average squad so I'm very happy overall with our season so far.
  4. Not the type of game for Cantwell or JRC. Hedges and Brittain need to come on and we need to hope one of those long balls falls to Ohashi to run onto.
  5. Outstanding first half. Brilliant performance. Gueye has been excellent but I cannot believe he didn't score!
  6. Big Mak is definitely a confidence player so that goal will do him the world of good. His touch and general play were excellent last night. The way he rolled the defender for the stonewall penalty was very impressive. The problem is he probably would have missed if he went clean through from that turn! The sending off against Burnley really impacted his game, he was brilliant before that. Hopefully last night was a turning point.
  7. Five wins in a row and 4 clean sheets in a row. Eustace is some manager. Big Mak was outstanding when he came on.
  8. What a total borefest. Aside from Bannan, not an ounce of quality on show. Can we nick a 1-0? How on earth is this team anywhere near top half let alone top 6.
  9. Four wins in a row, 3 wins away from home in a row, and 3 clean sheets in a row. Very impressive.
  10. I think we need a centre half that can also cover right back (James Hill is a great shout), a left winger, and a striker. We apparently have an interest in Poku but so do most teams in this league probably so that won't happen. Godo very nearly signed in the summer so that's a good suggestion too, he'll likely be on the list again. The Sierra Leone guy Kargbo has also been heavily linked. Nicko wrote recently we'd ideally like a striker with championship experience in Jan. Doesn't everyone in this league! That's the problem. Decent strikers cost big money which is why we shop in the bargain basement for them. Ohashi has been a good find though.
  11. What a manager Eustace is, certainly the best one we've had in the championship. We've not been this well coached and organised for a long time. It was knife through butter at times under Mowbray and more often than not under JDT. Cantwell aside, we don't have any genuine real attacking quality so Eustace has got his tactics spot on by trying to keep games tight and nicking a goal. To beat two of the best teams in this league in the same week, and deservedly so, is very impressive. We're certainly not going down this season, no chance. We probably won't get top 6 either because there will be games where we go one down and then it almost feels like game over. If Eustace was backed with a striker and pacy winger in Jan then it could be a different story - that probably won't happen though. Gueye and Buckley should be moved on. The former is not good enough and the latter needs to be playing games at his age.
  12. Travis is in the form of his life. He's been excellent this season. Having Trondstad sitting in behind has really helped as it's enabled him to make those attacking runs knowing that Tronstad will mop up anything behind him. Both are top players.
  13. There's no doubting that we are a well organised, hard working team. We lack a lot of quality in forward areas but as a fan all you can really ask for is that you're well coached and work hard. We have that. Just a shame the owners have constantly left us short on quality. I would probably look to shift out Gueye in January. He will be 4th choice soon. I think we'll look to bring in another striker in Jan, and once Leonard is fit he will be behind him and Ohashi too. He's never gonna score goals in this league and his all round game is not up to championship standard. Ohashi is doing well. He's definitely got the nuisance factor even though he's low on quality. Definitely a good player to have in the squad.
  14. Not sure you've got that phrase quite right for this context but, yeah, never gonna get any attacking quality under Venkys. They cost too much £££
  15. Wow shock result but fully deserved. It was the perfect away performance. As the Sky commentators said, if we had some more pace and quality up top then we'd be a real force. We are incredibly well organised but we have to score the first goal in games. I'd certainly take our league position at this stage! Eustace is working miracles.
