Main takeaways tonight: 1. Fernandes needs to be first choice in midfield. 2. Dibling is not far off being a regular starter. 3. SAA should be first choice sub on the wing. 4. FFS let's get it forward more quickly. Tonight was a breath of fresh air. 5. Thank **** we are signing a quality goalkeeper!

Hard to argue with any of those. Was baffled to learn that Edozie came on out of position on the right wing at the weekend instead of SAA Are people potentially getting a tad carried away given the opposition? I expect point 1 is true regardless of opportunity and Saturday was just a little too soon for him
I would phrase its as: being able to buy Ramsdale is why we accepted the best available offer for Alcaraz
Wycombe actually would be my first pick. Then QPR. Then Plymouth. No doubt we'll get something dross like Wolves at home.
I'll take anyone but the big 6 at home, or a reasonable away game that might get a good allocation ... as long as its on a Tuesday night
Not bothered by this. We need more signings like this. Players that help us but also are going to be really sought after. It’s sucks that this is the way it is but it is the way it is. And doing a good job of it is one of the big reasons for the now enormous gulf between us and Brighton
If we sign another winger, I'd be okay with SAA going out on loan. He doesn't quite look first team ready to me. On that note, I'd be happy to sell/loan Edozie regardless of us signing another winger.
