August 30, 2025Aug 30 Obviously I've never seen this guy play, but we're crying out for proven EFL goals and he's scored pretty regularly. 11 in 18 last time he was in L1. That was for Wimbledon too so he can start by scoring next week.

Tbf we'll have Gale, Cissoko, ACD, Warren & Forss who can mostly play in other positions if needed Decent recruitment considering we didn't have any wingers only a few months ago. Think folk forget without wingers we were nullified in to playing a handful of formations. I don't think we'll ever see shitter recruitment for that 10 position then we did under IE ... Ever

Ever I reckon Sheehan could do the number 10 job at this level, whether his previous injuries prevent that, maybe the deeper lying role is a safer bet to keep him clear of injuries.

August 31, 2025Aug 31 I’m not too unhappy about getting Forss instead of JK as they can do a similar job, but it all comes down to how SS sets up the team and uses him. Time for one or two to leave, but not sure where they’d go or who would want them, but hopefully they can find regular football in a team where they’re appreciated.

He’s a great prospect and would have been a coup if we’d got him with a cheeky bid, but Celtic have used their wealth and stature to try to ensure they don’t get short changed. If he gets a career ending injury next week, they can afford to have lost their stake in him whereas the potential upside is tens of millions so for them it’s a decent punt. We move on.
August 31, 2025Aug 31 Popular Post Whatever happens Burstow is the first name on the teamsheet for me. Everyone else will have to fall in line and build round him. He's surviving on scraps, scored what he gets and works his absolute bollocks off.

Back in the England squad in no time at this rate. Agree on Burstow BTW. Was great at Stockport and it's continued. Like the lad.
August 31, 2025Aug 31 Another Burstow fan here. Works his bollocks off and is putting in the onion bag

Intelligence to bring others into the game, confidence to try something different. and he can score, looks like he’s enjoying his football. It’s a joy to see.

He could easily get 20+ goals this season if the bloody wingers pass the ball to him in the box it’s really winding me up !

His conversion rate at the minute is excellent, imagine how good it would be if he was getting any sort of decent service!

Get Dalby up front with Burstow playing off him, we will score a lot more.

Is that not him just searching for the ball though? Which to be fair he’s done a great job of holding the ball up and feeding back, but it’s that point where the move breaks down rather than progressing to the point of getting him on the shoulder of the last defender and getting the ball back to him Absolutely agree with a Burstow-Dalby front two as long as we’re prepared to play to their strengths
August 31, 2025Aug 31 All for this 2 up top especially at home, may leave us light in the middle away though. actually sick of this no.10 talk, we’ve no one who can play it, so fuck the idea off. Dempsey really is the last hope for it, but he only plays 10-15 games a season if we’re lucky. 4, 4 fucking 2 2 lumps at the back, 2 lumps in the middle, 2 lumps (with brains) up top will get us climbing the league.
