Much tighter defence especially restricting Bournemouth breaking away and exploiting the space if Davis was playing |  | | |  |

And a superb assist for Townsend too. |  |

If we got decent dough for Davis I'd be perfectly happy with Townsend there next season. He's only 32, good engine, mature head. He's been a good addition for relative peanuts. |  | | |

Has Burgess got faster too?!
Don't we really need to get him to re-sign.
I like Greaves though. |  | | |

Don't think anyone will want Davis. Delap is the only one who will go. Well the big names anyway. And yet he might not even go. Interesting few months ahead. |  | | |

Delap's certainly the obvious one. Big bucks for him.
I think Davis and Hutchinson will attract interest though. Maybe O'Shea as well, he's every bit a Premier league defender. | | | |

If O'Shea goes, it'll be £20m+ and we'll get Japhet Tanganga to replace him. | | | |

One hundred percent. That back four should stay with us for the rest of the season, and definitely in the Championship if they're all still here.
I'd genuinely cash in on Davis while his stock is still somewhat high. Rogue, but alas. |  | | |

Plenty will want Davis. Quality player. It will sound ridiculous but put him in the Liverpool team and would be absolutely class. If you require him to defend for majority of a game then it's a little different. | |

I can see Forest coming in for Davis and Hutchinson, both would seem to fit with how they play and they're going to need depth to play in Europe. I'd be really upset to see Omari leave as he's still got a lot to give. |  | | |

His chance creation is still very impressive at this level, even for a struggling side. As you say stick him in a Villa side and he would look at home in the Premier league. | | | |

Add Broady to our teamsheet as a regular starter too. |  |

Nathan Broadhead is still our best player.
Regarding the OP - yes and no. Townsend did well in a team battling against better teams. If we want to finish top of the league next season we'll need someone like leif to provide 18 assists and a constant attacking threat. Great cutback for delap today but i'm not sure townsend could provide that. Maybe if we swap it round and push our right back very high instead? | |

Thought Townsend had a really good game, very pleased to have him with Davis likely to be poached in the summer. We still gave Bournemouth a hatful of opportunities however, they just didn't make the most of them.
Johnson in particular worries me no end. |  |

You could argue Townsend suits us more in the PL because we have less control of the ball during the game and we need to defend first, playing into his strengths more.
But in the Championship, we would control games more and Davis will be a lot higher positionally. His quality in attacking phases can't be questioned and he creates better chances than Townsend overall.
It feels like to me that Davis would suit more of a mid table Prem side who have less defending to do. He's technically good and works up and down well, so perhaps a club like Palace may take a liking to Davis as he's technically better than Mitchell for example. |  |

Delap is our best player, by far.
Broadhead looked so much better playing what seemed like a slightly different role. Not sure he has played as central as that for us before. |  |

Agree re Johnson. The Bournemouth goal could have been avoided if he didn't hook the ball straight to their player. He could have booted it anywhere! | | | |

You're right, in a top side that was dominating games he is quality. Is he good enough to interest that level of team though? Robertson ageing at Liverpool but they want Kerkez (according to the paper gossip anyway). | | | |

Better without Davis no where near as exploited,
He dosent suit our system in this league for a new struggling side,
If we were established yes,
Tighter is better so Townsend,
We can score the odd one or two keep it tight we have a chance,
Greaves hasn't been at his best post injury in afraid, burg generally dosent let us down,
Won 3 out of 4 with him in the side, |  | | |

Kerkez looked very average last night tbh, perhaps he is already mentally at Liverpool | | | |

I think McKenna sticking to his principles & wanting to play attacking football hasn't really worked. This season was always going to be a struggle after 2 successive promotions. He admitted he'd goofed with Muric by signing Palmer. Leaving out Davis - who offers so much going forward - would have been a huge call, but having him in a back 4 has left us very vulnerable to opponents exploiting the space behind him on the break. All easy with hindsight, I guesss. |  |

All these players people are talking about going, O'shea, Hutchinson, Delap and Davis can't happen. We don't need the money, unless it's stupid money. It has to be remembered that the midfield needs a complete rebuild. If Delap goes then we need another forward. Letting O'Shea go and not keeping Burgess either would mean two more replacements there. Tuanzebe looks like he may go and if reports are correct Godfrey has already gone. So two more there. What you would end up with is another dozen players needing to come in prior to the new season and we'd be back to a similar situation as what we have had this season with players trying to get up to speed and gel as a team. | | | |

Totally agree, another disjointed team with new faces needing time to gel and throwing in some injuries isn't exactly the best way to storm the Championship. The teams going straight back up usually keep the core of their players | | | |

Delap will not be playing in the Championship next season. Yes, we'll need another decent striker, with Hamadi as ~3. Not sure who else might be going.
Godfrey is a strong candidate for this season's "invisible man". | |

Could we look at Tanganga for the hybrid RB/CB role I'd Tuanzebe goes? |  | | |
