Yep, I’m sure Nakamba will be playing for Zimbabwe as well soon enough. Either our medical team are massively over cautious or these players don’t really have much interest in playing for us.

Seen a few getting sucked into Chong actually doing something again. He’s absolutely awful and his role - a winger in a 3 - doesn’t exist in our current team set up. Massively hope we are working hard to assist him getting a move away, along with Mengi. Both absolute wasted of space and money

Pointless signing if we don’t invest in some actual wingbacks to get them some service. Don’t think Wells, Yates have had a decent shot in anger this season.

Yep rubbish but not surprised. There’s good individuals at the club but the TEAM is poor. The squad is poorly balanced and not really disposed to any clear way of playing. Because we have loads of centre halves we default to 3 at the back but that doesn’t suit the wide and forward players we...

Ripped our defence to pieces in our game at Home Park last season if I recall. But that seemed to be his best game for them and he was a bit hot and cold from what I read about him

Lost 1-0 in a very low intensity affair that was essentially a pre season game. Started quite bright but it faded in the second half. Fanne, Kodua showed some good touches and Woodrow provided some creativity - I don’t see Woodrow being a starter but off the bench he at least provides an option...

14 times since 2017. So yes, really.

Coventry away for us, familiar trip and ground so don’t expect huge levels of support. We don’t do well in the league cup recently but at least we will go out to higher league oppo compared to the usual L2 defeat.

Totally agree. Any idea when Jones will be back? Currently we only have Walters at RWB and he is still…”developing” if you are charitable to him. I really hope there is something in the works at LWB and Brammall is a break glass type signing like Pieters was last year - when we then brought in...

He’s too slow and unathletic for that. He wasn’t even good at that in his very first stint here - he will be worse now. He’s a pure LCB in a 3 at this point in his career which is actually one of the issues. The strongest part of the team is the CB’s but they are all best in a back 3 than a 4 -...

Agree with you that it’s a waste but the squad is full of centre halves, CMs wjth very limited wide players so probably the best we can make of it. I’m expecting a similar stodgy attacking performance as you just can’t play this shape properly with the wingbacks we have

Think they do look strong even without signing players. Colwill looks a standout talent for this level as does Tanner, Salech imo

Yes again was slightly underwhelmed. Being linked with Lowe and Al-Hamadi and then sign Yates. Probably need to re-align my expectations of who we sign and Yates has a very good record at this level. Was sort of hoping we would sign a few younger players though - squad must be on the older...

Terrible game. For me the issue is you cant play a shape like that where you want the attacking threat to come from your wingbacks with a CB playing there and at best a defensive minded RB (for me Walters looks more centre half that RB and certainly not a RWB). I never felt we were ever in any...

Yeah don’t want to come to the side of those moaning consistently about everything at the moment but that’s underwhelming to say the least. Reeks of panic signing as we’ve missed out on our other targets. Pretty inexcusable if you ask me given as soon as the relegation was confirmed Doughty was...
