    These so called experts are often wrong.

    2 big mates out of contract in June so I wonder if they’ll end up at the same team again. Kyle Bartley and Luke Ayling. If Corberan gives Bartley a new deal at WBA I can see Ayling reuniting with Corberan and his best mate.

    Didn’t see any of last nights game. When I saw them in the flesh for the 23s, Drameh looked like an athlete and very composed. Didn’t get forward much to judge him… seems his more wingback role at Cardiff gave him bit more licence to look a threat. Joseph was the other to stand out…Good movement and took his goals very well - seemed a natural finisher

    Maric told Adam Pope that Llorente will be fit for City plus Harrison not injured so will be back and Bamford and Koch should also be fully fit too. So sounding like we may not be far from a fully fit squad if you forget Dallas. However will Meslier be back or see Robles first league start

    Thought Drameh was defensively solid last night, to the point where he looked like he'd actually been given certain intructions and was carrying them out. If so then maybe the penny has finally dropped with the lad.

    That said though...only watched on LUTV and there were plenty of beer runs so may have missed quite a bit <laugh>

    Gelhardt to Corberan might be a good fit for us and him ?

    No Roberts again for QPR not even on the bench so obviously injured still. Lewis Bate starting for Oxford and Poveda on the bench for Blackpool

    For all you Charlie Taylor fans who wanted to resign him in the summer...

    1) hasn't played left back all season
    2) lost his place in the starting eleven for the last 7 league games and has had roughly 20 mins from the bench since mid October.

    Sounds ripe for us to steal in January then <laugh>

    Ironically even at 80% of his best he'd still be the best LB at our club.

    Taylor has been out injured and now on his way back. Played 19 times this season but injured in September and been recovering through the break. Don’t think he’s been dropped. If he has he’s only valued at £3m….

    Started the game on 22nd Oct and then he's been on the bench every week since Doc...7 games and counting.

    Hjelde, Dallas and Firpo...

    All back up to Struijk.

    Surely we don't need another left back ?

    We just need one good left back. Dallas is good but not sure even he can play with one leg. Hjelde and Firpo not up to it for different reasons. Struijk is too slow but should be commended for the job he is doing.

    Booo hoo.

    Only 2 nibbles for that pathetic bit of wumming.

    On the other hand if Firpo could get a run of games <ok>

    There is only one left back in the whole of the club and thats Emu’s mate. Cannot believe we don’t even have a LB specialist in the 21s or 18s, we just square peg it and use a variety of players.we sold Leif Davies and Niall Huggins? But not replaced them. Last season the 23s used Liam McCarron but then got rid of him in the summer. Is it really a hard position to fill or is a position coaches think anyone can play?

    Dunno Doc. I do know that marsch likes attacking full backs to provide width and crosses… which means he wants a left footer there. It’s staggering we haven’t at least replaced Davis with a 20 year old ‘wonder kid’ from Europe.

    The latest clickbait sites saying Orta wants Aaron Wan Bissaka from scumchester the player Man Utd paid £50m. My view is hes a great right back and has plenty of pace, but turns into Aidy White running down a cul de sac and cannot cross a ball. That would also mean Kristensen competing with WBS and maybe why Drameh is off and no new contract for Ayling? Obviously if true and I have doubts
