I wouldn’t go anywhere near Ramsdale. Very erratic in his decisions and the kind of keeper who likes to make the easy saves look difficult.

They should have gone for a design like the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

High impact going forward but his ability and determination to rapidly drop in at wingback has been crucial in the last 5 games. Gives us great balance, especially when we don’t win the ball back during an initial high press.

We look way off it in the opening stages. Need to settle down fast.

Great we got Tzimas. Really think we’ve done well to move quickly and get a complicated deal over the line. Outside of that it looks like several glaring weaknesses have been deferred and we’ve taking a huge gamble in allowing Enciso and Ferguson to be loaned out. Even letting Moder go looks...

Hmm. Potter chooses his words carefully and that tally’s with Evan looking surprisingly sprightly at Forest.

Anyone know the latest on Duffus?

3 right now. Dead duck of a manager and Tzimas aside a baffling window.

Agree with all of this. Tony & Paul will undoubtedly have an eye on the underlying data and I’d imagine PB at least has regular interactions with senior pro’s to get 360 feedback. I’d imagine there is a small chance he’s gone after the window closes as we didn’t want to screw up pending...

Ed Turns to Exeter, permanent deal.

Beyond this season we clearly have a wealth of high potential talent available but also very tough calls to make on the retention of players who would have walked into almost any Albion 11 outside of the last few seasons. What’s most baffling to me is that we’ve invested so heavily but it’s...

All fair points to argue but for me his only direct competitor for a role in the team should be Welbeck. Does Danny’s fitness record and current form mean it’s smart to be loaning out his most capable and promising competitor/alternative? We’ve still got 14 league games and at least 1 cup tie...

Surely we need to keep Turns today. Some great prospects developing but at present he looks the only u21 defender ready to do a job if required.

Well for a start Mitoma didn’t want to go to Saudi.

Good move for Evan but sends the message we are writing off the present season.
