Oyekunle is youth so omit him. That leaves Archer, Downs and BBD. Archer seems destined for WBA despite being the one of the 3 I'd prefer to keep. Leaves Downs, who is confidence-shot but tall and BBD who has scored goals at this level but has been largely shite. In my mind it's Larin plus 2 new signings.

Quick redesign is, of course, very possible... ...But also very doubtful.

And brings his own tree to terribly hide behind/beside.

Hi, Essex Saint here. Looking to buy 4 tickets?!

If Tonda has to manage from the stands, imagine if he uses binoculars, an iPhone and some AirPods.

Yes, seriously bad miscalculation on this one by Infantino! After what went on in the World Cup with the Balogun/Trump debacle, UEFA were already well on the way to gunning for him so this has given them an open goal to get more support from outside Europe for getting shot of him! You never know with Fifa but surely his days are numbered. Whether his replacement is any better is another matter of course.

Ugliness

Yet again you show hiw much of a narrow minded twat you are. I am not and do not in any way, trying to 'defend violent incursions'. I merely try to verify pictures and stories, particularly from the cess pit that X and other SM platforms have become, and to not be as easily provoked or gulled into rash judgements by what appears to be clickbait for the easily manipulated.

TBH I’m beyond caring about people’s opinions on Bazunu but to expect him to make transfer decisions about his future based on an internet forum’s consensus about his ability is just odd.

What is his “right position” exactly, and do we play in a style to accommodate that ? He isn’t the genius of MLT to be allowed a free rein to go and play as you want (not a dig at him, very few if any players are). I’m sometimes sceptical of the player wanting to play in their right position if it means changing a formation to suit.

LOL Genuinely can’t understand why people with your political persuasion are so keen to defend invaders. Whether it be Spain or the UK, the left will jump through hoops to defend violent incursions.

Maybe needs to accept that midtable League One is very much his level, especially after the horror show of the Stoke loan.

Yes Archer is a confidence player but Tonda also hasn't used him as a CF (for good reasons) which basically means we are left with Larin. Replacing Stewart is the urgent priority really. Imagine if Larin got injured in training before the first game. We'd be starting on -4 without a proper striker.

The away kit has not been forwarded for mass production as yet. So will they really change it though?

We’re obviously looking at this from different angles. For me, I’d like to see a CF (in the Stewart mould) signed who is going to make a difference on the pitch. Which I suspect you do too. You’re talking of the squad size etc which is an equally valid argument. But the names you mention just reinforce the need for the CF really. Can’t see Archer, BBD and Downs offering enough. And Larin, as good as he was after January, was essentially job sharing with Stewart so tall order perhaps to expect him replicate that form and fitness over 46 games.

Baz could end up our Number 2 this season. Will be a shame for both the financial rules and the risk that he has to actually play, but I'm not sure who is buying or loaning him.

I was not talking about the appeal, in his first comments Dragon started that we were told off Boros complaint and given hours to reply just before the first leg, even at the first meeting we admitted what had happened.

Most likely his wages are an issue for a lot of Championship clubs, as he was signed in the PL. Having played in said PL and been promoted from the Championship once, he’s unlikely to want to drop to League 1, where he’s already played and been player of the season five years ago with Pompey. As with Ramsdale, we won’t be able to afford to keep him as back up but he won’t be easy to sell either.

Even Leicester (managed by his No1 supporter) have gone for another. Even if it’s McCarthy

Not a chance we find a club dumb enough to take him off our hands permanently. Best case is a panic loan deal late on in the window.

As previously stated twice it's not me, ask Admin.

I may be jumping to conclusions but we were certainly better second half, better tempo, pressed higher and I thought controlled second half - whether that’s because Tonda saw more from higher up ….maybe but as long as he is in stands at least and controls the team he stays.

I mentioned in the pre-season thread maybe they were practicing for this eventuality. Very important to note that the manager is still allowed to communicate with the bench either via radio or phone in such an event of a touchline ban, so Tonda would still be managing the side in real time.

Maybe they want to anounce it when Tondas ban drops, either to deflect attention or - perhaps the blue one was just a prank, and the real one is this:

Agreed. Archer is a confidence player. Downs and BBD just aren't players.
