    And no, not Sandro, nor Ariel, nor Cousins can do what Kante did. That man does the job of two players and is ridiculously technically proficient for his style of play.

      10 points out of 18... working pretty fine to me.

              I think it's a bit harsh on Jimmy he only has what's at the club whilst I think we have brought better into the club this window but they are still players for the future as was most of last year's signings , much more than 50% of the playing staff Are lower league the club think can improve with work and time
              What has he got that isn't making a step up Onouha Caulker Sandro and Kelvin am I right they the only ones that have played above championship and league one ?

                Apart from Newcastle, has any other team in the championship looked good. Most of them have been inconsistent.

                  In England, also Perch. we've had a few who have played at the top level in other countries like Polter, Chery, Ngbakoto, Borysuik.

                      You're right - it looked like a very strong year on paper but football wise it looks bang average.

                      Yes, we're top six but a million miles below EPL bottom third so we might as well try opening up occasionally. If you can't be more expansive vs Blackburn at home there is a problem.

                          Maybe we should have spent a bit more to get a m/f play maker to me that the problem area

                            I think part of the problem with the championship is playing two games a week. Perhaps my memory is failing me, but was it always like this? We are about a month into the season and have played six games (plus two games in the league cup) with a week off for internationals. I can't see the advantage of this. Too many games, risk of injuries, and bad for attendance.

                              like I said pre season too much to expect TC to run the show on his tod every game.

                              I was informed El K was the answer...... that position was priority no 1 for me because without a play maker everything in front is irrelevant, they wont get regular service in decent space.

                                Not too many games J too much team rotation , rotating played is OK if you've got the players we havent
