Wouldn’t be me without bringing up a negative after such a brilliant game.. but what’s the reluctance to bring Clarke off, ever? 4-0 up games won why not bring mundle on for the last 20 instead of letting them target Clarke and vent frustration?
Did cross my mind

Ideally I would want 3 specialist strikers in the squad. Plenty of games to swap them around, particularly which one comes off the bench depending on the game situation. If we can start to dominate games at home, give mayenda more starts at home to help him develop. We need a proper quality no 9 for tough away days. Someone who is going to bully defenders, hold the ball up, help us gain territory and bring our best players into the game.

I would want a fourth non-specialist player who can play up top in case of an injury crisis. Jobe perhaps?

I agree

however, RLB seems like the kind of bloke who wants to score every minute of every game. High pressing against Cardiff 88th minute while 1-0 up instead of seeing out the game. Pressing the keeper in the 90th minute today 4-0 up
 
I still want 2 strikers personally. 1 perm and 1 prem loan. There's plenty of games to be played this season and as good as Mayenda was today, he's only young and will have dips in form. I want us to be competitive all season, not run young players into the ground or suffer badly when we have injuries. Rusyn is 4th choice for me (if we can't move him on), I don't see a player good enough to have an impact for us.
I don’t want any loan signing preventing Mayenda getting time on the pitch, this lad needs developing as a priority.

Virtually every game Clarke is a fantastic outlet at that stage of the match, if he was injury prone I’d agree but he’s a fit young lad so let him entertain us.

Better defensively if you keep the ball up that end

Posted yesterday on page 658 about all of this. Should be translated ?

SM Caen. "An unpleasant situation for all": the Alexandre Mendy case remains pending | Sport in Caen (actu.fr)

At the weekend game there was two players watching their game from the stands and one at least was the Mendy replacement ? Maybe we hear more this week then ?

Again a bit more on their forum . Hope it's translated ? Mind they're no different to us . Suppose that's the nature of it all ? We get a mention as the thread goes along.

Top 6 needs to be a priority. We don't have to play any signings, but we do need options. Leaving ourselves short to "prioritise development" is madness imo. It's a long season and players will be running on empty at times. All it needs is an injury to Mayenda and we're short for the season.

You also have to be careful at cutting off options if you sign 2 strikers there's no way Mayenda gets enough chances it's just not realistic at all
