A lot of people complaining about pre season planning are miraculously expecting us to now be world beaters. Can’t have it both ways, unbeaten when most thought we’d be sacrificing the opening games

We've dropped points to a poor Argyle side, I don't know what you'd call that other than sacrificing points. Yes we lost to them last season etc. etc. but each game on its merits and that game would be expected to be a win in 2-3 months when our side is settled.

I’d argue that poor Argyle side had a better attack than us today.

You do a combined front three it’s

Millar LW, Hardie ST and Whittaker RW

Thanks. I don’t mind Baz but he does come out with some ****e sometimes. He said on that video that Charlie Hughes has never played at this level; he has. He also kept whinging about Seri not being played.

I’m going to go against the grain on here and other social media and say Seri just isn’t what we need at the base of midfield. People are waxing lyrical because he came on second half against Sheffield Wednesday’s second string and set the tempo. He’s 33-years-old, he can’t cover as much ground as he used to when he was younger, he lacks physicality and doesn’t provide good defensive protection for the back four and he just doesn’t suit what Walter wants in a holding midfielder. He’s a good player with loads of technical ability but he has a tendency to hold onto the ball for too long and it has occasionally led to the opposition nudging him off due to his small frame and stealing the ball in areas close to our box. He’s also one of the highest-paid players in the squad. He’s a luxury player who doesn’t suit the new coach’s style of play so we should sell him. I think Meffert would be an upgrade as he’s similar to Seri in terms of technical ability on the ball and is experienced but better defensively, taller, stronger and covers more ground. Plus, we have Simons and Zambrano here as well.

At Seri’s age, a move to Saudi Arabia or Turkey is a no-brainer as the leagues there are less intense, he’ll have more time and space on the ball and will probably end up at a club that will play a ‘destroyer’ next to him in midfield instead of Regan Slater lmao.

Precisely my point mate, we've sacrificed two points against them by not having players in or at least not having the players better up to speed with the style. I think a lot hinges on the Millwall result as to how palatable it ends up being.

Nixon reckons we are in for Travis at Blackburn.

Fits the bill for that number 6 it seems. Blackburn fans don’t want to see him go. Ipswich were happy to take him on loan for a bit last season too. When you look at their recruitment, that can only be a good thing. All in all, this might be an excellent signing.
 
Travis would definitely add bite in midfield. Think I mentioned his name last summer during one of my rants about needing a defensive midfielder.
