    Just seen his goals on SSN - what a pair of belters!!

    This guy is now really starting to raise eyebrows, and is arguably our biggest flair player when he's on song, so Kenneth get out the (long term) contract offer and stop pi**ing about - along with Clayton while you're at it too.

    Good to see other squad players being given a chance, especially Zac Thompson. Grayson definitely has a better squad to pick from this season.

    Nunez HAS to start against Ipswich on Saturday.

    Somma was given the chance, he deserves it too.

    nunez definately has flair and can score goals from anywhere, but his all round game needs improvement, he was at fault for their goal tday by not tracking his man. maybe this would be less of an issue if he played the 2nd striker role

    I don't really think anyone from the WHU 11 as done anything to deserve being dropped for Ipswich. Nunez has shown plenty of promise but is very one footed and far from the finished article IMO, he doesn't seem to do much outside of his goals.

    My team for Saturday would be:

    Usual back 4 depending on who's fit
    Snoddy Howson Clayton Max
    Nunez Keogh

    With Becchio coming back soon, this side is really starting to take shape. The original plan of top 6 minimum & top 2 as the target, even after 2 iffy games at the start, is starting to look very realistic. We have big games coming up. But a 2-2 draw away to the promotion favourites without Becchio shows we really don't have as much to fear as we might at first have thought after the first two games.

    Yeah I actually think he would work well in a 4-4-1-1, especially if we have a striker shortage. I do have a feeling that if he has bad games though, they'll be very bad games.

    However, given what we've seen so far, we should be definitely offering something longer term. Those 763 Honduras caps probably ain't done him any harm either.............

    He shouldn't be sitting there up front looking for service all the time and sapping all the opportunities out of the midfield. He needs to play deeper with the wingers alongside him and be made to forge his own chances and collect the ball. Don't want him developing the Beckford complacent attitude that all your chances will be served to you on a plate.
