INCRED

For one so talented and getting player of the year 22/23 to signing for a random Belgium team seems a strange career decision. If he was badly advised and now hoping to get back into main stream English football than hopefully his talent will make him and us a better team. We don’t have a player like him who has raw pace & skill so I’m looking forward to see where he plays and how he adapts to our style and the Championship

Nothing on sky transfer centre yet on Bird or Mebude

Was in Man City’s set up and a very good player by what I have seen

Looked at a few clips of him playing at Man City and this lad looks a good player

100%, it can change the thought process and lose the periphery vision of what’s happening around them on the pitch The very best players channel their emotional reactions in a way that lifts their performance levels even higher Not my words but a sports Psychologist I know who has worked closely with Premiership clubs and professional rugby players

It would be a lot less versus a fee and apparently loan back for rest of the season Our midfield is going to be decent next season and I like what the club are doing by going out and buying young talented players that will not only increase in value but also bring a lot more energy, drive and ambition as well as talent

They will take what they can as Bird is OOC in the summer

I would be surprised if both went as I think Williams may get an offer to stay as we will need some experience to go with the youthful midfielders we have in the squad

He’s the Manager not the Finance Director, money talks!!

Hearing the same that we are trying to bring in two before the window closes, one is an opportunity to do business before the summer as the player will be OOC in the summer and they would like a fee rather than lose him on a free Other is a loan

He’s a destroyer of other teams and his press triggers others Being made captain and also being an international for me speaks volumes as to his standing within the squad/team sometimes it’s about the sum of all the parts and not individuals that make winning teams For me, he is one of the first on the team sheet along with Dickie & Pring

****

Dickie up front

How are our behaviours

What a soft goal to concede

Sykes was meant to be 2 weeks and he’s been out at least 3 weeks now

Quad strain is usually 4-6 week’s recovery Quad tear is 10-12 weeks recovery Bit of a disaster either way Can we send him back and get someone else in before the window closes?

Not a bad incentive for the replay and a possible 2017 league cup deja vu

LDV versus the Gas was worse tbh

Kicking off big time in a few areas of the ground and police struggling to gain control

All kicked off around various parts of the ground after Wolves 2nd goal Players gone off and police struggling to regain order Derby day in the Black Country!

I think we are much more of a threat away from home as we can break fast and not have to try and break teams down I am fairly confident we can win the replay

I don’t see them being brought back into the squad straight away tbh They will probably be given a week to recover as is usual

I thought RM was brought in to play the RB/RWB role in place of Tanner. I have no problem with Tanner as a defender as he is excellent at just that but I think RM & Sykes on the right side gives us something extra and better options Having a balance on both sides with aggressive attacking options gives us more threat albeit we still need to improve our goals scored record and hope we can bring in an additional forward before the window closes
