SAK

He lucked out with us, a big stadium, a massive fan base, our title challenges under Keegan still in peoples memory and importantly in the memories of media companies and journalists so despite being shit people spoke about us which generates interest. wont get that at Derby if he thinks he’s going to get them to the PL and flip them.

Sports Directs Shirebrook base is a bit up the M1 so makes sense for Ashley.

The crowd doing that Siuuu shit is cringe.

Good news, hopefully Southampton as well.

Give them realistic release fees in their contracts if we go down. Sign players on loan to perm contracts if we stay up, if we don’t they go back to their parent club who receive a loan fee for their troubles. Players may have concerns but there’s things we can go do to mitigate them.

Should have won, will take a draw considering I though pre game we were going to get bummed.

Dubravka decsion making bit shit today

Fuck nearly

Shelvey and Longstaff out of puff, no real midfield options.

Murphy needs to start helping out Manquilo, two chances from that side.

Burnsie or Trippier?

Are the tests self reported or verified by independent parties? What’s to stop us saying 10 first teamers have it and then take off two weeks?

He’s good in possession, has the strength and trickery to shift the ball away from opposition players and move it forwards thus helping us break the press. I see that as his role, a player that helps us transition from defence to attack by breaking the press and getting it to ASM, Wilson, Fraser and whatever potential future attacking players we bring in. Also pop up with the odd goal as well.

Long term is on hold until the short term is secured, plans have to change and be adapted to the situation you find yourself. The planned growth with investment during the summer window takes a back seat whilst we secure our league position, once we’re safe will switch back to the long term plan.

Don’t have to register your players if you can’t shift them to free up squad places. Just means paying for players who you have no intention of using but don’t think money will be an issue as it was in the past.

Dubravaka at fault for giving away the corner do not just Clark’s fault.

No leadership from Clark just head it away.

Hayden can’t handle any pressure when on the ball, gives it straight back to the opposition.

Will help us out massively if the games are called off until the new year. A big January window and we’d be a lot stronger and capable of staving off relegation.

They can’t stop us, go to Saudi Arabia during preseason play a couple of friendlies get paid £200m. Jobs a good un.

Might be the only we scrape those draws I was mentioning.

Park the bus for the next three games and try to get a couple of draws. Dubs Schar Manquillo I Lascelles Fernandez Lewis Hayden Shelvey Joelinton Willock Almiron Wilson

Shelvey literally plays on top of the defence, Willock was doing the same until the 2nd went in. Leaves a gaping hole in midfield behind the attacking players so we have no to challenge for the 2nd balls. Need better central midfielder's in Jan.

Game over.
