Was my ‘differential’ transfer this week for Minteh. Won’t be a maverick move now 😄

Honking second half (ref too). Only just survived but will take 3 points all day. We need Tolaj back and some more quality at the top end through the door asap.

Malen (x2 tonight) but can’t be sure he’d start.

Thanks! It’s what I’m on at the minute (540K OR). Not super confident with double Villa defence but also don’t trust myself to pick the right one between Schade and Dango 😅

Outtara and get Martinez instead of Kelleher?

In absence of Watts, would like to see one or two who can link midfield and attack. We have no advanced/attacking mids who can get close or support Tolaj.

True, we're in a similar place again (albeit with a lower quality of player). Agree, no manager will want to be handed a threadbare squad. Why I think they give TC every chance and until December at least. If Tolaj gets injured we're absolutely done. Ladapo is a free agent. Got DA back, so why not?

The contrarian (Argyle) thing will be to keep TC in until more players fit. Ridiculously we’ll pay inflated prices in Jan (or let blind faith in the poor summer persist). Must be shocked that the one player they spent significantly on is our best by far. Maybe that’s how football has always worked!?

I hope so. A lot to expect Amaechi, Watts and Pleggy to get up to speed and save the season! TCs squad got thin at Watford and they tanked. We had a deep squad when we won L1. I’d rather competition for places than whatever this is. Money was there so presumably was TCs wish.

We can’t even put out a full bench. Club dropped a bollock with poor recruitment and we’re paying the price. Not convinced by TC as so many problems. Tolaj is so isolated and despite 3 CBs we get opened up constantly. WBs so far from goal and midfield always overrun. Too many holes.

Feeding on scraps. Pepple been no help. Tolaj has to carry the team. Boateng been honking. Why on earth would you play Sorinola out of position and bench Mumba in this game!?

Dreadful team selection. Still unable to progress the ball and players evaporate whenever we lose possession.

Didn't happen as soon as I expected it to but writing was on the wall. As you say, that 7 weeks was ridiculous!

Hope Mitchell isn’t serious!

I don’t know how he didn’t score that bicycle kick. Couldn’t have hit it better 🤦♂️ chuffed with the Luton and Stockport results but it’s such a shame the squad is so thin. Feel like we’ll bounce around mid table until Feb where we might go on a run to playoffs (with any luck)

He is by far and away our best player and will hit 15+ if he stays fit. That bicycle kick, having got it on target, is a goal 9 times out of 10. The angle was awkward for the one off the post. Just lacked composure.

I’d prefer Bali LWB too. Just think TC will keep him high. Benarous looks tidy enough. Admittedly it was QPR youth but looked alright there in that cup game too.

Benarous at LWB I would hope. Wiredu, Mitchell and Ross the back 3.

Only just had a chance to read it. More red and yellow flags than anything green! Agree, that 9s thing is odd.

I agree Houghton was 'limited' but he's playing a key role sat 2nd in the league. We shouldn't have been so quick to offload him and more ridiculous we went looking for same profile. Like Joni sang "you don't know what you've got till it's gone, they passed it sideways and put up possession stats."

Yeh, we should’ve and could’ve. Can’t wait to get gaslit at next forum about how “we’ve signed 14 players, what else do we want?” 🤣
Still convinced we’re going to hear that Randle left and that’s why we didn’t sign a player for 4 weeks.

Outside of Tolaj, I think the “top 6” budget hasn’t played out.
If we were serious about promotion think we’d have a squad that looked (ironically) more like Bolton’s. The anti-loans thing is so dumb IMO.
We started the season so undercooked it’s hard to know whether it’s TC, the players or both!

I’m not there yet tbh. The squad under Rooney was way better than this one and he was an objectively horrendous coach/tactician. We’ve recruited a lower-to-mid table L1 level of player (for the most part) and it’s showing.
