Big fan of Bowler. It's a lazy comparison anyway. Very different players using different skillsets.

We play with wide wingers so there's not always the option of a square pass but it's unlikely Theo would see it anyway as he plays with blinkers on. He's miles off the pace at present and it's only his natural ability - and the lack of fit options - that's getting him near the first team at this...

Not until Appleton's been given a fair chance. After that, it would be no different to getting Appleton in for me.

Clubs will be queueing up to get Critchley in. West Brom, Boro and Hull in this division alone. Wouldn't surprise me if we see him on the opposition bench in a few weeks time. What a ** waste. Crass decision in hindsight.

I haven't watched it back so can't remember how it played out but Dougall was nominally playing on the left side of midfield at that point and the attack initially came down our right (so Wright and Corbeanau to get involved). Dougall in that position would explain why there's a massive gap.

Patino can't really play in that central role. He has the touch and the vision but not the physicality. I'd expect to see Bridcutt and Dougall there from now on. Look at Theo's 'not my problem' stance.

Bridcutt clearly isn't fully fit yet which is why we started with that three in midfield. Connolly, Patino, Wright all had their worst games of the season. Williams and Husband aren't match fit and Garbutt played like someone who hasn't started since May. With Ekpiteta, Bridcutt and Thompson...

Corbeanau shouldn't be starting. He's too much of a luxury atm. Both CJ and Poveda look a better shout for the next two games. No problem with him coming on for the last 15 if the game is stretched.

I think the 1100 is from all games combined and that's offset by 300 additional per game. So 1100 down but 1800 (300 x 6) up.

If it's true that the £30 is putting a lot of people off then presumably we'll sell a lot more for Luton. If we don't then it's likely to be something else.

364 according to Fotmob but looks a lot less.

I did point this out several weeks ago but got a somewhat hysterical over-reaction so didn't push it. The lad is great at creating space for himself but has no idea what to do next. There's a difference between Corbeanu and Bowler - Bowler was much more developed at this stage. Madine's...

Good 15 minutes at the end. Can't rely on turnarounds like that though. Might be Southgate is just a lucky manager. Lets hope so.

Mount and Saka 😄

Basically 10 men behind the ball and hit them on the break. Fine if we score first but, if not, we've no chance of breaking them down. Desperate stuff from Southgate. Be gone after the WC whatever happens.

It was better than Rotherham, better than Stoke. For the first time this season I thought we passed the ball better than the opposition but it's a very low bar as Millwall were short of confidence same as we were. Lots of stuff still way off though. Formation, don't understand. It was 343 which...

I don't feel sorry for Appleton at all. Given the available players he could have picked a much more effective setup and better personnel. Part of a manager's job is to work within the given constraints and I doubt Appleton came here expecting big signings. He's got rid of a load of players...

I can't believe he started with that formation again. It barely worked against a dreadful Huddersfield side and was blown away tonight. Don't tell me thats 4 in midfield. It's two plus an orthodox left-back and Jordan Gabriel not knowing where he should be at any particular moment in time. Go...

Fair enough, we disagree. But I don't think you can have a debate about freedom of speech without considering the context. Even the self-styled bastion of free speech - the USA - has the proviso you can't shout 'Fire!' in a crowded theatre. Going to a funeral and abusing the deceased and the...

Slavery wasn't an offence under criminal law either. It''s more complicated than strict legal definitions. And I disagree they weren't trying to cause offence. We stand for lots of things in this country including freedom of speech but also decency and respect. All those - and many others -...
