Travis to start against Sunderland? 08:33 - Jan 9 with 10942 viewsDubtractor

McKenna doesn't tend to make a habit of throwing players in at the deep end, but we can't play at the tempo we need with Ball playing, and McKenna seems reluctant to pair Luongo and Taylor.

Really hoping that Davis is back as he's so important to how we play, and feels like an important game to win to keep things ticking over.

Do sunderland still play a high line? Mowbray was very attacking, not sure about beale. If they do, jackson will probably get the nod up top.


That, but Taylor for Travis I suspect. With Luongo playing the Morsy role. Too soon for Travis to drop straight in.

It's very interesting that you know why most Town fans do not use the forum ... and choose to do so yourself.

Just an observation.

I wonder if there is any club that has a forum that is used by even 10% of it's clubs fans let alone "most". I would also reckon this is probably as active a forum in terms of percentages of fans as the majority of club's independent sites.


that's a considered and thoughtful post.

yeah, it's been discussed many times in the past why there are so many views, yet it's always the same few dozen posters. I mean, none of the fans I know post and it seems to come down to the hassle if you don't follow the established narrative - both in football terms and politically.

Getting rid of the down arrow might encourage more to actually participate. Also, we know there are a few 'older' numpties on here that constantly try to belittle those that think independently. A more open and progressive attitude might embolden more posters to express there ideas, maybe. It can be quite a stale, echo chamber on here.

There are currently 34 different posters who have started threads on the front page.

I really don't get your narrative that a few dozen posters dominate all the talk on here. Perhaps if you list the few dozen you mean, I could add another few dozen who post just as much!

What does that mean? EDIT: Do you mean how many different posts were on the front page? About 38. 3 or 4 posters had started 2 threads, all the others one each.

The problem is "thinking independently" is often shorthand for "talking bobbins".

If you post any old rubbish you'll get challenged on it.

I wasn't defending a post flash. Just adding some context which you spoke of recently as a potential to what he meant. It's not that deep for you to do your usual twist this twist that. You just tend to try and as pedantic as you can rather than just discuss the things said. I still stand by their being 1 training session between a Wed and Sat. Of course other sessions take place as already mentioned but clearly altho not as clear as you feel required, I was in my original reply talking about the intense pre game session KM has spoken of.

Again it's not that deep. Bur you're doing a solid job of providing examples of how you like to drag things out so that you can then bemoan a posters volume if posts after.


You didn't add context you added nonsense in support of his post. When I talk about context I mean intelligent, relevant context, not your brain farts.

You've twisted training sessions AGAIN here, to "intense pre game" sessions. It's not pedantic to be correct. If we signed a player on Tuesday morning they'd have more than one training session before Saturday. Stop twisting, backtracking and straw-manning.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Ignore me, being stupid.

Think he should play though, despite me being stupid.

Just as prior to injuries when fullbacks, centre backs and forwards were shuffled around I can see more of Morsy and Travis being alternated. This would do two things. Firstly to give Morsy the occasional break and secondly to prevent Morsy from getting cards leading to suspension. Doesn't on the face of it look likely a new forward will be in prior to Saturday. I wonder if McKenna would be thinking of playing Taylor further forward with Loungo and Travis in midfield ?

I'd say you were being less stupid than the Sunderland board were when they sacked Mogga to be fair.

No, he's attracted criticism because he said "it doesn't look like we'll have that person in time and intending to limp along with what we have on Saturday" when it's only Tuesday morning. We have no idea what will happen between now and Friday.

That is stating the obvious.


Hopefully we’ll have someone in by 4pm Thursday afternoon, or that’s not much time to prepare for Saturdays game…

I would much prefer we get the right player(s) in by the close of the window than simply get someone in ready for Saturday. Ultimately we will be better not signing anyone than we will signing two or three no better than Ladapo, Jackson and Buabo.

Looking unlikely now, but my comment of Tuesday morning was correct at the time. And I still believe it's correct that we've not just been "intending to limp along" - I think we're clearly trying to get the right man/men, we just haven't been able to yet. These things take time.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Just hope we don’t spend all window chasing someone slightly out of reach… and end up with a 3rd choice loan option.

Yep it's a fine line to hit the sweet spot between just grabbing anyone and chasing someone slightly out of reach. This is where Ashton and the team earn their corn. Feels like the biggest window in forever.

Going to be walking that tightrope, when we end up with Dane Scarlett back on loan and Gassan Ahadme on the bench as his injury wasn't that bad you know we are in trouble!

I think Scarlett will come back! But obviously we need a main man don't we.

Hopefully, we'll get our man (men) soon.

I don't know what you want me to say. You're suggesting not much has been happening. I'm suggesting lots has, it just hasn't resulted in a signing yet. That's fine by me. I appreciate they're trying their best and that getting a decent player, let alone a striker, isn't easy. I appreciate real life isn't like a computer game where you just click "buy" and the player's in your squad.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.
