All the Germans

I'd suggest we definitely don't have sufficient money to buy a striker of required quality to make Sargent 2nd choice, not without enormous luck by stumbling across a hidden gem who would never be signed on the premise that he would make Sargent 2nd choice. I don't find it a sensible option to consider. Having a suitable understudy is a different matter.

Typo?

Build a partnership with a player on loan that leaves at the end of the season? Not sure that I get the logic.

Long is useless. However, that doesn't mean the alternatives aren't worse (either short term - actual performance, or long term - hindering development). Cue the "How could it be worse" questions, Remember when people got disillusioned with how Farke was doing and we got Dean Smith, it can always get worse.

I was about to mention the backpass. People above mention he did the falling over "first thing", it wasn't, it was a rubbish backpass that caused panic - literally within seconds of coming on. I've never rated Hanley, so this is just me banging the same drum, but I consider him a liability. The only time he is useful in my opinion is when you are backs to the wall with crosses coming in to the box, as he is good at defending high balls, anything else, I have always had serious question marks. Ball at his feet whilst we are on the front foot, useless, balls into channels / in behind, poor.

Why don't you two talk about something else, where you aren't at odds with each other as much. Like - I don't know - how you both feel about Kenny McLean for example?

I think (in no particular order), the Goss volley, the Farke Wink, Holt laughing at Ipswich and Fashanu goal all win equally, I can't separate them.

I don't "get" Gordon. Doesn't look like the player we need. Maybe it's confidence, but I want my wingers to have a go at their full back and he doesn't ever seem to even try to.

I blame Long for the penalty being given away, but fortunately Cordoba made sure the penalty wasn't scored. I think I'm getting this... ?

Definite penalty "in the modern game". Definitely not a penalty with what the intention of the rule is. Barely touched him,

I think McLean is excellent for this level. There. I've said it. Now let the usual debate commence.

Not sure about these changes. Marcondes had to be coming off for me.

Football is a matter of opinions. We agree to differ. I think the first goal aside, which is absolutely his fault, the rest is not his and if it was Gunn, nobody even mentions it.

I agree that he's the biggest problem that we have. I don't agree that he was the biggest problem in that goal/

Looks like Marcondes to me.
