TRon

We only sold him because our backs were to the wall. It's not like we even got great money for him considering we had to take their cast off keeper for £20m to make it happen. Ideally I am sure we would rather have kept him as a squad player who we could develop, but that is just how PSR is screwing the game in general and lots of clubs are having to make such pointless deals.

I still think we'll sign Guehi, but I'm of the opinion now, that if we don't, there'll be no one coming in and we'll make do with what we've got. I did think we'd go for an alternative, but our policy of only bringing in players we really want might override this.

I agree, even against Bournemouth he wasn't as bad as some are making out. When I am being critical it's only in comparison to the leading clubs and their midfielders as that's where we ultimately want to be.

Wimbledon away. Can't complain, Big Les did us alright.

Didn't realise this draw had already been fixed to favour cartel teams. Who would have thought?

I think he's better suited to playing centrally tbf, but he was short of top level. Forest is a good move for him.

People can carp about his fragility with some justification, but we just look so much better when he's fit and firing. His pace was transformational before the injury. In fact even his injury was caused by him chasing back so rapidly and getting caught on the back of it.

Typical performance really. Very bright opening 15 mins then disappeared up his own arse the longer the game went on.

Or the left even. Fantastic performance over 90 mins.

Showed us all just what a difference genuine quality makes.

You shouldn't have polluted our forums with that shit tbh. Even if it was well intended.

Biggest positive for me in that game was Barnes, he was very good in a game where lots of players were struggling. Tonali was class obviously, better than we had any right to expect.

Not sure how we won that shoot out, Pope didn't make a single save. Our pens were class though, even Joelinton's was well struck, just a fantastic save.

Nailed on.

Great pens by Gordon and Longstaff to win it.

You need excellent technique to resist the press.

Didn't think he had the stones tbh. Might be hope for him yet.

Don't like the subs much. Feels like we are going out at this point.

He always looked more like a centre mid tbh. He always played wide left for us.

We did the right thing to give him the contract he's still an asset, but if we get other weaker parts of the squad upgraded, his place will also come under threat at some point.

Will be interesting to see how this season pans out for Big Joe. he's been a favourite of mine for a long time, but as we progress, every fault will come under the microscope. He's big, strong and has a surprisingly good touch. But in midfield you have to see everything around you, not sure he has that control of the situation which the really top midfielders do.

He looked fantastic while he was on.

Krafth is ok when he's just tackling or blocking, apart from that he's a horrendous footballer.

Should have been 1-1.
