He has absolutely no idea how to utilise the profiles of each player. At one point we had Foden, Bellingham and Palmer on. Three outstanding #10s who all want to occupy similar spaces, playing with a striker who also likes to drop in as a #10. If you’re going to play those three, you need...

Moder’s injury was arguably the turning point in our trajectory. We had been on a dismal run, then a space was freed up in the XI for Caicedo and we never looked back. There was no point during that rich run of form we had from the end of 21-22 into 22-23 where people were clamouring for Moder...

Looks the kind of profile we need.

A Baleba-Gilmour midfield is severely lacking in goal contributions.

I assume if Pascal leaves, that statement of 5 first time signings needed becomes 6.

May well be in touch at some point as our current mortgage advisor signed us up to a three year deal despite the fact I have it in writing that we requested a two year deal. As far as mistakes go, it may not turn out to be a bad one but it’s still not ideal.

Very enjoyable afternoon for a free ticket! Hopefully that encourages some to come back again.

Part of the reason it’s snowballed so much on Twitter is because people have found out about his less than savoury past and now don’t give a shit about taking the piss out of the situation. I read the suggestion that he might be stuck to a cactus and genuinely couldn’t tell if it was satire or...

Do you know what date the game would be if we finish 3rd?

There really isn’t. I’ve seen posters on here saying we have players that could do it but I think they are really underestimating how good you’d need to be to play that role in the PL. I think there’s three options. Option A) he tries to develop someone we already have to play that role (I...

Four more wins would guarantee quarter finals and quite possibly a home match. Three should be enough to get through. Two might scrape it. Would be good to get a home tie if we do qualify.

It’s definitely more prominent in football stats these days and in that context I’m pretty sure it refers to 50:50 battles over a loose ball. Caicedo, for example, was a duel-winning monster for us.

Dunk’s passing is very good which would make him seem a good fit. Unfortunately in the PL, someone playing that role needs an exceptionally low centre of gravity to be able to spin 360 and pass or travel with the ball in any direction because the pressing intensity is so high. At this level it...

I wouldn’t feel comfortable with any of our current squad doing that hybrid cb/dm role. Not at this level of football. Realistically I think we’d have to sign a very experienced dm who fits that profile.

I agree with your general sentiment of preferring Welbeck for his all round game, but I think you’ve undersold Undav’s goals there, particularly the one against Arsenal which was absolutely vital. He is a better finisher than Welbeck and would be a brilliant option to have off the bench or...

I wouldn’t rule out more teacher strikes if their % increase for the next academic year falls short. Starting salary for new teachers is great, but experienced teachers pay will be a sticking point.

The upside is, if he manages to control Mitrovic then it should give his confidence a big boost for the rest of the tournament.

The prospect of one of our players starting for England in the Euros should have excitement levels through the roof, let alone the fact he’s our local lad who grew up in Hollingbury and has played over 400 games for us. Annoyingly, (and I include myself in this to an extent) there’s more of a...

Watford have another talented player on their books:
