...that he basically created a position in mckenna's tactic? The JD position - defensive right-back / right-sided centre back in a 3. It seems like we're signing right-footed centre backs specifically to play the role now. You could even argue that it was JD playing that position so well that allowed us to go and get a super-attacking left back...
Sorry if this has already been discussed but do we think our willingness to spend a lot of money this month is related to how well delap's doing? Are we now planning to sell him for 70-80m in the summer and spending that money already? Not saying it's a bad idea. If someone offers that monry, it could set the club up for years.
Not being able to root for the underdog. Brighton southampton for example. Defaulted to enjoying southampton's comeback and was annoyed by the VAR nonsense. But then remembered we need them to lose.
Only a 4-pager about ben johnson and something about us being a championship side on the first page of the forum. Nothing overly bed-wetty and irritating about the game. Not bad! Tempted to venture on here even earlier than tuesday after our next defeat if we're being this grown up about it.
This feels like far more of a problen than it would have felt like 2 months ago. Still think we'll win today but fair play to axel - show's how good he's been.
but there are a few jumping on mckenna after tonight. Is there going to be a bit of a undercurrent of negative feeling towards him after all the contract stuff in the summer i wonder. Bit less patience maybe, he's a bit more of a focal point for frustration.
No points but a really good first half performance at home to liverpool and we scored away at man city. I'd probably have taken that before we started. Hopefully mckenna and the staff can keep their spirits up ready to rip into fulham next week. COYB
Now i do just to keep up with the quality of the rest of the squad. Blimey what a window. There's a wonderful australian expression that's very appropriate here: we're not here to f* ck spiders.
Even if southampton get downes, the best that can be said for our fellow promoted teams' windows so far is that they are maintaining their squads. We're improving ours. Early doors obviously but very encouraging. Hopefully another season coming up in which we leave our peers in our wake.
I'm delighted we're going for smodzics. I get the arguments about philogene's stats and resale value but i just smodzics was an absolute menace last season and he'll help us stay up. And if the philogene deal falling apart means we can go get flynn back, happy days.
