It would be a tough call between Wood, ASM, Fraser and King, Dennis, Sarr in all honesty. I wouldn't swap ASM for any of them but as a front 3 I'm not sure which is better tbh.

Over the last 10 games we are 14th in the form table, gaining 10pts from those 10 games. We have a better squad now then we did for those last 10 so that gives me some hope. Everton is a big game as a win potentially takes us out of the bottom 3 and that would be a huge confidence boost for everyone.

Ridiculous how Doncaster have gone from promotion contenders last year to relegation certainties this one. Still beating Sunderland though!

No Alli or VDB in the Everton squad at all today.

Seen that Michael Ndiweni has seemingly been training with the first team all week. Anyone know much about him? Seems he's scored a fair few for the youth team but that doesn't always mean much. I'm guessing because we failed to get another Striker in Howe has chose to protect one from within.

Lincoln City beat Burnley 1-0 a few years back when they were Non League.

Rice has been the best players since he came on. He personally deserves that goal but West Ham definitely do not.

A few West Ham players looking Sunday league in that first half. Diop, Noble and whoever that number 33 was.

1-0 Trippier

I think that is a decent team but again I worry about having Joelinton in a midfield 2 even if we have 3/5 at the back. He's going to have to learn extremely quickly if that's where he'll be playing. I feel like he's being used in midfield as more of a stop gap. I doubt he'd have been playing there at all if Hayden wasn't injured. Edit: I'm not saying he hasn't been fantastic there btw, because he has been. It's just that it is a postion in which experience of said position is key.

I do think this could be his best position. Either playing as a wide midfielder in a midfield 4 or playing as a wide attacker in a front 3. He can do his defensive duties and press in both of those roles and neither would really rely on him scoring. Definitely wouldn't want to use him every week as part of a 2. He does a good job in a midfield 3 though but I don't think that'll be forever.

I think before the Norwich incident he was barely in the minds of most people barring complaining about why he was in the team. That red card against Norwich was the last straw for most (including me). Could easily be the difference between staying up this season or not.

Great to see the video of him meeting his teammates. I'm sure it will help having Joelinton there but also that he's not the only new kid here. I'm really pleased with the increased social media/video clips/official websites pieces since the takeover. It makes you feel like you're involved so much more with the club and the team.

100% no wheelie bins anymore. Not a chance Amanda is having any of that! This guy will be having his own private ice bath and cryo chamber installed at the training ground in no time.

A win and anything looks possible. Drags Everton into it as well which would be a huge bonus. Going to be far more difficult against these now though with a new manager and couple of decent players in.

What's the chance of him going to Turkey as some have reported? Can't see it myself but who knows. He's obviously happy just to stay a toss it off for a few months.

Not sure we'll ever see him play for us again.

Thank christ for that! Good decision made.

Just seen the short clip of training today. Got good vibes seeing him there, I reckon this could be a far far better signing than first thought. Should be able to go straight into the team alongside either Lascelles or Schar and instantly improve us.

4231 relies to much on ASM tracking back. Although it does allow Willock or whoever is player as the CAM much more freedom. I much prefer 433 with the players we have as I still think we are weak in midfield so we need the extra player in there to compensate.

Those statistics suggest that Clark and Lascelles are both better than Schar purely down to the fact they win for Aerial Duels and make the same amount of progressive passes, yet how many mistakes do they both make per game. Far more than Schar is for certain and how many of those 'progressive passes' are just hopeful punts upfield? I'm not a fan of any of our current CBs tbh and it's been an issue for the last 3 seasons. We'll see how Burn does and I suspect he will be a huge improvement on all of them. Huge shame Fede has been out so much this season as he is far better than the other 3 but still isn't particularly good enough and should've been replaced along with the rest a couple seasons ago.

He will score a few, we've got a much improved squad since the first 2 games he's played. I've no doubt that with more quality in the team now he will start scoring. I hope now with Bruno in the team we'll get alot more out of our attacking players. 5/6 before seasons end would be fine. Hopefully that begins with a goal against Everton.

Going to be difficult to second guess the XI that starts against Everton. Not a certainty that he'll bring Burn, Targett and Bruno all in straight away. I do think he should but its hard to see him dropping Shelvey or Lascelles. Can't see an issue myself with having Bruno and Shelvey as 2 of a midfield 3. Having 2 players in there with the ability to play balls through to the forwards is a massive plus. At the moment, if the opposition nullify Shelvey, we lack that ability to make balls over the top or diagonal switches. With two players capable of that it suddenly makes it much easier to execute.

If we stay up, basically yes. Or tbh I could quite easily see Gayle and Wilson both leaving. Wilson as good as he is, is a liability in terms of injuries. Wilson and Gayle out and 2 new strikers in.

I'd hope 90% of them would get moved on even if we are relegated. Those players won't get you promoted from the Championship anymore.
