People are really gonna twist about the line up if we take a beating here..

Should be an instant ban

He wont but 20/30 mins off the bench against tiring legs could be a difference maker

Isaks pace will be key at getting behind their high line, Miggy as well.

Yess

More than likely we lose this with our current injury list but hopefully we can put on a good performance and continue to improve our showings against the top sides.

‘ I want my pay off’

His days are numbered, strange comments as he will know there’s no coming back from that

Imo Howe can’t have fancied Dubs that much, his fitness record alone would have any decent manager asking questions tbh. Pope was signed as a number 1, not to provide competition for the shirt. He likely would have expected Dubs to not want to stick around as 2nd choice. All in all the GK position is a lot stronger now even with Darlow as no. 2 - Popes fitness record is pretty solid.

Feels like it was only a couple of seasons ago that he was pretty highly rated

Or Bruno back in Jan

If a player is forcing a move through it must make negotiations on the selling side difficult, you lose the leverage altogether and then you add in the factor that its Man United (who fucked us in Jan with the Lingaard deal). At 34 as injury prone as he is a few million extra seems about right but I dont feel that we are miles away here.. the issue is that the player wanted away.

So you'd like to keep an unhappy player around on the bench? Absolutely no chance with Howe in charge.

Does anyone understand that if he wanted the move then we had to sell? Understand the fee isnt what you might expect but this one stinks of the player forcing it through regardless.

Been one of the most mental transfer sagas tbh As soon as he appeared in Brunos insta posts that was it.

Its Spurs allegedly

The issue is he’d want to be playing more often than not, I’m sure we’ve already given those sort of guarantees to Targett already.

Enough of it is down to playing a team of fucking backwards orcs in Tranmere

Potter, Bielsa and even Dyche? And they call us delusional

I don’t know about a start yet but the lad is up for it, doesn’t look like he feels the pressure really

He’s upset

Probably trying to instill some confidence in the lad by showing some faith in him, he will know he’s limited

On the bright side that game might prompt an extra signing
