What actually happened with Stephens? Didn’t see it, just the aftermath. From the aftermath it looked like he jarred his knee or something but without seeing the incident I don’t know. His reaction suggested it was bad though, but thought the same with Smallbone so fingers crossed it’s not as bad as his reaction suggests.
I feel the same with SAA, but I am glad we gave him a start while there was an oppertunity, it will do him good in the long run.
Unfortunately even if that has been realised I can’t a way of signing a second in the same window when manning was clearly signed as first choice. Perhaps just bring in someone like Johnson from West Ham and play KWP left back if he stays
I have a feeling it was his ankle. Looked like he couldn’t put any weight on it. Absolutely gutted for him
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0g91712 Russell martins thoughts. I love him more and more every week. Fantastic manager & bloke. We would still be in the premier league if we appointed him instead of Nathan Jones when we were weighing it up.
Haven't read the thread. Just got back from the game. We look very good, things to improve upon, only naturally. Fraserburgh and Flynn had real impacts. Good goal from Edozie. Though Charles slotted in at centre back well. More goals will come if we continue bossing teams with the amount of possession
So much this. All around me, I could hear moaning and groaning despite us dominating the game and playing at times slick football. Fans don't seem to get that a player will make an occasional slip or overtime a pass from time to time. We are far ahead of where I thought we would be performing at the end of August
Downes and Fraser are game changers, Downes is morganesque, He's going to be our metronome in midfield. Downes, Smallbone and Adarma in midfield is such a quality midfield With Charles, Stuey and Alcataz (For now) As bench options is incredible depth.
Special mention to Charles. Very good in midfield and then excellent at CB. What a useful player he is going to be. Can already see he'll be ready to make the step up by the end of season. Had an absolute battle with their forward today. On Charly, give him time ffs. Had to transition to English football, and now he has to transition to an even more bruising version of it. He'll come good. Edozie's best 45 of the season in first half. Sat his opponent on his a*se at one point. He could get double figures this season. Much more effective on the left cutting in. Adarma's double tackle at the end. Go on son!! He knows exactly what the Championship is about.
Saying Charly needs to be an impact sub is exactly giving Charly time. He needs a slower integration and is not, right now, in our best starting 11. Doesn’t mean he isn’t fantastically talented.
Martin just said Fraser isn’t the Tella replacement, and we will look to bring in someone else. That’s absolutely fantastic if true. Puts my fears at ease. We are title contenders if we replace Che & Tella well.
Probably most Fans who basically **** the bed on just assumptions. Let's give Wilcox until the end of the window, he's been fantastic so far this summer.
