I should then post about it excessively so I can tell everyone I was right all along if the player does turn out to be a dud. That sound about right? That’s 100% how it’s done. Don’t forget to have a little ambiguity in your context so if it turns out you’re wrong then you can claim deniability buddy 👍 Don't forget the classic "I hope I'm wrong", that way you can be happy if your negativity is justified and 'happy' if it isn't. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Naisby 736 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 It was always going to be an interesting window for us imo as we finally had a manager who was on the same page as us when it came to what we needed at a time when financial constraints and new regulations were effecting not only us but football in general. incomings and outgoings have been done with a sense of logic and understanding which has been a pleasure to see, no stroppy player vailed threats, no agents touting players unsettling them and the squad as well as the club and manager not publicly trying to engineer moves which were not wanted. As such we enter the next phase of the season with new players added who will be keen to settle and impress, an existing squad who focused on the targets they have been set, and fans who can finally look and see that for the first window in ages the club and fans seem to share the same vision and goals. Who knows what will be our fate for the rest of the season but I’m happy to look forward to it without wishing the window had gone better. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
rutters 52 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Can't find Dijksteel in the training pix. Which number is he on? Cancel that...he's in no. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

He’s probably the best at holding it up and most mobile of the front 3. Could do with a bit of strength on him. these rest of the season looks interesting. Play offs aren’t a million miles away.

mendieta420 988 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 It might depend on how his contract talks are going.. someone said he's close to agreeing a new deal a few days ago. Otherwise I think we'll see Bolasie stay in the middle.. or maybe he'll give Britt a chance with the DRC lads. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see Fletcher as our number one forward . 4/3/3 Kebano / Britt / Watmore NML / Fletcher / Bolasie ( getting fitter day by day ) Tav / Akpom / Johnson 4/2/3/1 Howson / Morsy Tav /NML Saville / Kebano. Johnson Watmore Britt / Akpom / Fletcher The options are endless and the best for a long time . Hats off to Steve . Edited February 2, 2021 by Simply Red Change Link to post Share on other sites

RiseAgainst 3,781 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 10 hours ago, TLF10 said: Here is a hypothetical question for all the posters now the window has closed. It is the play off final and all the team is fit and all playing close to the maximum of their respective abilities. Based on that who would be your starting 11 for the big game: For me: Betti Dijk Fry Paddy Bola Howson Sav Tav Kebano Bolasie Fletcher it was toss up between Britt and Fletch as both at they best are good but Britt at his best still misses easy chances but either of them two on top form are good. The really intriguing thing about this question is that with so many permutations to choose from, the best combination on paper might not be the best combination on the pitch. We might all pick MDF MPV NML to play out wide, only to discover Britt and Kebano have an intuitive understanding of each other's play from their time together in the Congo. I suspect it'll take February and possibly part of March for Warnock to figure out which combination works best, so let's hope we're still in touch with the play-off spots by the time the team starts to gel around a particular XI. Imagine going into the play-offs as the form team in the top six... Link to post Share on other sites
