With Burns looking sharp, McAteer putting in arguably his brightest substitute cameo, what do we do with Sindre?
With Nunez possibly out for a game or two, do we move Sindre inside into the central 10 with the experience of Burns beside him? It could be a decent opportunity to see what he's made of. I think he could add more of a goal threat to us as a central 10. |  | | |  |

I know that wide right role is one of creativity and scoring etc. but KM's off the ball work, tracking back, interceptions, work rate, tackling etc. was superb last night.
I'd like to see him translate that into the creative side - that said, I think he had a goal bound shot cleared near post?
I like a lot of KM's work. |
I do too, he's as fit as a butchers dog and there's a lot of Burns about him 'stylistically' IMO. I think we very much signed the profile with him, and as you say he offers really good protection to Furlong, and like Burns his defensive and positional discipline is really good. Lacking a bit of quality and composure with his final ball at times, but that can come. He's also still quite young. The main issue with him is the fee, I think if we paid £5m nobody would bat an eyelid and probably regard him as a really handy option who is showing promise after a slow start. People need to go a little easy on him IMO. |  | | |

I'd quite like to see Walle Egeli have a few more apprearances from the bench. The players coming off the bench often have more space to work in, particularly if the opposition are chasing the game and have been run in to the ground by the starting 11. When he has come off the bench he's tended naturally to drift more centrally as the game becomes stretched and this suits him more than hugging the touch line. |
I think we will now, and taking that bit of weight off his young shoulders might be a good thing. The challenge with him is I'm not sure he's the profile to exploit games as they become stretched, perhaps not like McAteer or Szmodics are with their pace and high energy.
I'd like to see him start in the 9 against Wrexham in the cup, especially if we don't add another in this window. | | | |

I do think he's our best option there other than Burns, he does put in a decent cross, looks to have more pace than Egeli. I don't think he is great but he does look serviceable there |  |

If Nunez is injured then get CC10 back. |
I’d love that but as somebody else remarked (forget who) the fact we haven’t entertained recalling him probably suggests they want to bring somebody new in. | | | |

A bit off the wall, why not try Cajuste as the No. 10, if Nunez is out, his defensive work is not great but he is good going forwards, good movement on and off the ball. He is a very good passer of the ball. |  | | |

I think that's a reasonable shout, but not sure he could do the pressing required from that position. Maybe. Skills for it, definitely. |  |

Good evening NthQldITFC, My only other thought is that would cause a problem when it comes to the subs as the change is Jack Taylor for Cajuste, so prob they will go with SS in that role of No.10 if Nunez is out | | | |

I find him interesting. If we’d paid 5 million for him, I suspect a lot of fans would be questioning about him. Because we paid so much, and were told he was the bees knees, there’s been a lot of buy-in that he has massive potential. I haven’t seen it. Moments, yes, but not a star in the making.
He’s had half a season now, the team are playing well, it should be his time. I’d love to see him grab a game and dominate it. |
I honestly think if you stuck Haaland on the right, we'd be seeing a similar issue, Egeli's talents aren't that of a winger, i won't say right forward as he's often seen coming to halfway to collect a ball from furlong.
I don't see what the coaches do with Egeli on the right, his stats are absolutely terrible

You can see the raw ingredients in him which makes him a very exciting prospect, but im not sure what good it's actually doing him by keeping out wide |  |

I think that the primary reason to get CC back would be to coach the current lot how to make the runs that he was so good at - there were couple of times last night where the ball comes across the box and our players would all make the same run and end up in the same place - so if the cross missed them then it would just fly across the box, while our players bumped into each other - Azon and Nunez were def guilty of that. I am not an expert but it seems to me that staggering their runs would create a whole load more opportunities. | | | |

Maybe a perception but he doesn’t APPEAR to have the pace needed out on the wing. He also just looks really awkward inverted and cutting in on his left foot. I think this has become more apparent with Burns return- he’s quick and direct and can get himself or the ball in the box without having to change feet.
For Jaden it doesn’t matter as he’s so 2-footed. Definitely would be interesting to see Egeli as a 10 he’s strong, got a hell of a shot on him, and some nice tricks to go past his man. [Post edited 21 Jan 13:19]

Which cinemas are showing The Egeli Conundrum. I liked the Odessa File and The Bourne Identity. Any similarity ? | | | |

Might be in the minority here but if Burns is fully fit now and McAteer is the depth option then I'd look to send Egeli out on loan.
He'll be improving whilst training with the rest of the first team but if we're going to be playing Prem football next year and we want him to hit the ground running there then I feel he has to be playing week in week out and that just hasn't worked for us so far. |  | | |

I think if we weren't looking so comfortable and had possibly been level or just 1 goal up Walle Egeli would have come on instead of McAteer
Last night felt like an ideal time to get some minutes into McAteer's legs and give Walle Egeli a bit of a rest |  | | |

What about your post have I agreed with?
FWIW I think SS is probably our best option there if Nunez is injured. I think all of us would like to see Sindre eventually grow into that position but maybe drip-fed over time not coming straight in as a starter |
Well presumably if you thought he was a good fit in that position you wouldn't be giving me the list of reasons as to why he didn't play well there earlier in the season? | | | |

That's an interesting way of interpreting my post
Just for clarity, I thought what you were saying was harsh. I don't think he's played too badly there, particularly the Sheff Utd and the Norwich games. I think with more time in that position and with a settled side around him he will look even better | | | |

Agree with your sentiments but ultimately, what options do we have if Nunez is unfit?
KM clearly doesn't rate Clarke there, SS has been hopeless there and Akpom hasn't been much better and is probably injured.
Taylor maybe and have 433? [Post edited 21 Jan 11:13]

I'm by no means writing him off but I do worry that promotion could come too soon for him. If we go up there will be little time for projects as we fight to establish ourselves in the league. Similarly, you'd have to imagine there will be few dead minutes where we are winning by 2 or 3 with 20 to go and no peril.
It feels like madness given the fee but I wondered if we'd loan him out in that scenario... | | | |

Perhaps he’ll come on to replace Clarke whilst Philogene is injured? | | | |

Pay £5, £5m or the £12m we actually paid he's still been absolutely awful since he's been here. If were going by his appearance last night as some sort of success then how low have our standards dropped?
He's our 3rd choice RW now, realistically he isnt going to play very often, if we are promoted would be stunned if he's still here next season. | | | |
