Sage also now gone at Palace.

IF available I’d expect it to be a phased return. Perhaps building up to being available to start at home to Middlesbrough.

£9m on a CF seems the option to me.

And what is his best position? I’m struggling to see where he would be best suited.Not an Azaz replacement for No 10, not a winger, and certainly not a CF. That leaves as ‘second striker’, or just behind the CF (when we have one). Do we adapt the team set up just to accommodate him ? Agree re Mubama, poor judgement and signing.

Very poor handling of events by Utd. Although this was predictable last season even , Carrick has acted with a degree of dignity throughout. But poor sod was publicity undermined by players beneath him, and had Wilcox and another pulling strings elsewhere.

Can’t see Poch being answerable to Wilcox or accepting him in charge of recruitment. If Ratcliffe was looking for a reset he should be showing Wilcox the door, and bringing in someone his manager can work with. What’s Paul Mitchell up to these days ? (Seem to recall he left a couple of clubs under a cloud so perhaps not still the shooting star that he once was).

Any reason given, because they need him or lack of game time?

Fair enough, I had missed that.

Poch will fall out with Wilcox unless he’s given a free rein there.

Is his brother playing for them ? I last read he was at Eastleigh. Pleased for Winchester City.

Hope you’re right about both Larin and Jander, but I wouldn’t bank on it, Jander especially. There seems to have been an ominous silence over his recovery or so it seems.

Can’t disagree about the return on points from the games you mention but for me this is largely down to individual errors. Watford - Stephens shanking a pass, Manning going missing for the second, THB’s parting gift of a glaring miss. Lincoln - agree that was shit with substitutes weakening us Wrexham - how many chances did we miss ? Bolton - ditto Wrexham, with specific mention to Dobbin WBA - Dobbin could have won it (first half poor) Preston - poor, but still created chances. This makes no reference to penalty appeals. For me, the failing yet again is recruitment (not the manager).

Ridiculous if so. Wonder what the feeling will be in twelve months time if we’re mid-table Championship with Nivea in charge.

Agree with this, much of Fellows potential and what he can offer is diluted by the attacking options to cross to. Think me a made a number of goals for a CF at WBA before they sold the latter (name escapes me). Fellows shortcoming for me is his shooting and finishing, but interesting that his goal came when coming on for Scienza playing on the left for a while.

Interesting way of protesting about the bubble if you want to after FAB fail to secure its lifting ; https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cqy0r0lw4l5ro Block the team bus
