I thought technically Hwang was good. It didnt help with his explicit filming allegations, but regardless is better than Idah

Saw more from Hwang than what we have in the modest mins SVH has got. Too soon to judge mind you, but another decent striker would be helpful meaning SVH takes pressure of Barnes, who for me has looked sub par for a little while now.

I dont think Rowe offers pace per say, more he is accomplished at running with the ball and makes defenders back off him. My only issue with Sainz is he likes losing the ball in and around our box after winning it and trying to play out from the back. He also seems to like cutting in from the wing, rather than taking on his man. Both are good options to have and Sainz will only get better, as will Rowe providing he can add to his fitness levels.

Quite a few to mention here for me. Man Utd, Spurs, Wolves, Leeds & Sheffield Utd top the list for me.

Im still not an Idah fan. I think he needed a new challenge/club in order to progress. Seems to be an impact sub mainly for Celtic where he's doing well. In hindsight he would of probably been a better option from what i've seen of SVH, who I suspect may struggle to fit in here, but remains to be seen re: fitness and what he can offer.

A pretty poor post with lack of consideration for Hanleys efforts.

I suspect Preston will be a banana skin for us this weekend. Hopefully Coventry fail to win their next game. Be lucky to see Rowe for the last few minutes of any of the next 3 games.

I think the wider subject here is that most people thought the above 3 players werent good enough and were pleased to see them shipped out. The lack of cover brought in was incredibly poor, as you can see a couple of injuries would derail our playoff push almost instantly. It also highlights the pressure on the starting 11 as our bench is either unproven, not match fit or youth players. We really shouldnt be in that position, nor any club for that matter.

I think if we manage to sneak promotion he isn't good enough for the Premiership and I suspect the wages he would command in the championship would be too high to sustain for another season. I wonder with coaching Sam M would push on and improve and Gianni would be sold & we'll be looking for a replacement for him. Sounds the most viable option currently, but of course remains to be seen.

Im not going to lie, this upset me. Wes was a great player. Jonny Rowe is capable of providing magic moments, but you cant really compare the two.

Most players fall in that category including Sara who suffered a dip in form.

Yes Stacey has had a good season overall and a vital part of out playoff push.

Would be happy with this swap in all honesty. Mikey Johnston fits the profile we should be looking for and would be an improvement in squad quality and age profile.

I would assume today

I suspect there are various moving parts currently. Not to mention our longer-term plan and whether that involves a new manager etc. Watch this space I suppose, but you would expect Knapper to have a mindset on longer term recruitment regardless of manager.

I suspect SVH has been earmarked as a replacement to Barnes next season. If Sarge leaves and we are not promoted then we would need to replace him with a similar mobile striker, who clearly isnt SVH.

I was referring to his long balls mostly went to the opposition. I'm sure lots of our players had similar stats from passing backwards/ sideways.

Not sure I'd agree with this. Kenny having overall a good season but was poor today. Most his balls went astray, but then did a lot of other players being sloppy in possession. When the tempo is changed we look a better outfit. Slow build up play and we look like a clumsy team.

I saw the extended highlights from the celtic game yesterday. A good header for the goal and a simple finish for the second. Im glad his loan is going well. However you could see that he still struggles positionally and doesnt bust a gut to get on the end of good crosses. Its beneficial for all parties that he does well on his loan obviously, but just my take is that we sell if we can get a decent price for him.

I think Dimi was at fault today. Bad subs as well didn't help us. Nunez injury is worrying as him out leaves as lacking in the middle again and exposing our lack of depth once again

Not so far, but pending any potential injuries we could be back in trouble. Luck needs to be on our side so we can continue trying to secure a playoff spot.

I see Rashica is back on Farkes radar with an offer rejected.

Very accomplished and tidy at this level mostly. He is susceptible still for questionable balls and against better opponents you would get punished. Nonetheless he has been consistent in the most part this season

You can take Kenny out of that mix. As much as he is accomplished at this level, at prem level he is nowhere near good enough.

That's because everyone is in the pub and not on the forum getting boozy
