I see Charles as a completely different type of midfield player to Azaz, I don’t see him as a replacement. I view Shea as a powerful box to box midfielder, with strong defensive ability and decent physicality. The goal he scored against Leicester shows potential that the attacking side of his game can improve as he gets more experience but he doesn’t possess the defence splitting passing skills that Azaz does. Azaz isn’t perfect but I think he’s a good player at the Championship level and we are a better side with him in the team. He can go missing at times but that is often the way with his style of player. Azaz is the only player we currently have that can knit the attack together and play the incisive passes that break defences.

Waste of a spot on the bench though

Fellows definitely needs to work on his end product.

No conflict for me. Portsmouth every time

Mansfield, but still poor.

They've probably changed the rules so that there isn't any xG when the ball goes to Archer

I would keep him sharp by bringing him on as a substitute. We are clearly better with a taller striker upfront which is why we've just bought one.

I agree. I thought Watford looked a lot fitter and sharper and this was their 2nd away match in a week.

Agree with all of this, apart from the Azaz comment. I thought he was the only creative influence we had today. One defence splitting pass was brilliant, just not capitalised on. Personally, I would have dug out Fellows before Azaz. Fellows is becoming very frustrating, he turns inside every time and then runs about 20 yards with his head down but only takes us about 6 inches forward. Maybe it's his head down style of running but his final ball is really poor and his shooting reminds me of the Chris Waddle World Cup penalty.

He should have been given a few assists for opposition goals his defending was that negligent

You'd rate Manning on penalties over Scienza? 😲

I think it should be Scienza as he strikes the ball better than any other.

it's not as if he ever looked motivated before this window.

That's the spirit

That's never put us off
