    Which was that? He’s much better down the right imo, offers great defensive work too.

    When are the lads back from Spain? Just wondering if and how Poveda and Mendy can get involved in training.

    If we could find Ballard a partner at CB I'd be quite content with this summer's business

    They're back now I think? I'm sure RLB has done a recap video of their time in Spain.

    Be a shame to see him go but it’s been expected for so long I don’t think it’ll feel like the kick in the balls it should, excited to see what we do with the cash

    We play Blackpool away on Saturday, so I assume today, or tomorrow at latest.

    An out and out DM is still needed for me. I don't think we will get one as they will shoehorn Browne there but I would rather him play a little higher with Neil and a new DM in that slot.

    This.

    We’d have been gutted had it happened last summer imo, but we’ve sort of accepted it’s inevitable for so long now.

    If he is off hopefully it's sooner rather than later so we can get a replacement in. Like you say though it is a shame.

    I'd agree that we lack that profile of player but I guess it also depends on whether we play that kind of way. LB might prefer two "8s" and a "10", rather than a "6".

    Agreed I just don't think they will though. We, imo, defo need a partner for Ballard, it's got to be a priority

    Wonder if they'll be in for Norwood still or like you said try and stick Browne in there.

    They played a back 4 for a lot of the season under Rohl, Poveda starts for them as a right winger - theyve been really keen to sign him plus he has interest in Europe

    He is an exciting player, who needs to kick on now and i think we could get the best out of him. He fits the high paced football we seem to be wanting to play under le bris

    Think i saw him 6 times towards the end of the season, 1 of the games he was pretty poor imo but it was against Leicester. The other 5 he was good, i think it was the game against birmingham where he was unplayable - was a joy to watch

    Aye he absolutely suits the two touch quick transitional play RLB seems to be focusing on. Can see him dovetailing with Rigg and Neil so nicely.

    Browne was saying how comfortable he is playing DM. Doesn't sound like he sees it as 'shoehorning'. Maybe you know better than the player himself.
