I really hope he does sign Lansbury, starting to show his quality and with a preseason under his belt could be immense for us next season 10 Quote Link to comment

Davefevs Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 I did wonder with Nagy going home (funeral) that it might be allowing him to prep for Euros. Possibly same for Kalas? 3 Quote Link to comment
wendyredredrobin Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 I shall be watching on RobinsTV and following the Derby score on the phone. Team selection is surprising without Kalas or Semenyo. We have been L1 class for at least the last 10 games whilst Brentford are knocking at the door of the premier League so I'm expecting another game of Boys v Girls and an embarrassing thrashing. We are so bad that they could even put a dozen past us. Quote Link to comment
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 No Kalas but what does Pearson learn by playing him and may have the Euros in mind. In most years with a fully fit defence Kalas would be dropped on recent form. Quote Link to comment

Maybe just a gentleman's agreement to keep him fit for euros. Kalas has been poor lately but still one to always put his body on the line. Plus, it gives another look to two good professionals to maybe help us next season. 3 Quote Link to comment

With the amount of key players we need to bring in its cost effective to have Baker on a new deal with reduced wages. It will cost us an awful lot more to replace him as cover for centre half, spend the money on a new first choice CH Quote Link to comment

It will be interesting to see if Nige goes 3 at the back again today. Still no idea what his preferred system will be with us going into next season. Not for the first time this season, Gregor’s predicted team was miles out & in the wrong formation, too.. 1 Quote Link to comment

firstdivision Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Amazing what a season can do to a team. The starting eleven today: four who weren’t in the first-team squad at the start of the season. Two who’ve missed nearly the whole season. One who was out on loan in the first part of the season. One who hardly played in the first part of the season. Three regulars (Bentley, Bakinson, Wells). And only three players who started the first match, start the final match (Bentley, Massengo and Wells). Quote Link to comment
Selred Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Interesting comment about needing to keep players available for longer. Clearly not happy at all with the medical department and rightly so. Quote Link to comment

I think that’s the obvious explanation tbh. Kalas has been available every game and whether he’s played well or not there is no need to risk an injury that makes him miss the Euro’s. Good man management by Pearson. 3 Quote Link to comment
Swede Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 I think this could very well be Bentley's last game for us. I fully expect the club to cash in. I think there is a lot of manouvering already going on behind the scenes with agents even before the season's finished. With the season we've endured we must all hope that there's a complete overhaul before next August and every player within the squad has to buy in to the new regime that will be instilled by NP or face being discarded.
