We won’t be playing a 10 we will be playing an inside right and inside left. I expect Loum or Marcus to replace Hannibal in the starting line up soon unless he starts scoring or creating. So that will be quite a dynamic front three with some real physicality behind them. But it also means no place ...

Having watched our first three league games I get the impression that to compete every player, except our No 9 (Foster) is expected to defend. THats why I feel Hannibal has started all three, and why Edwards has started none. I dont think Flemming gets round the pitch quick enough to perform two rol...

I suspect the spend was close to this years, and four or five made us a very good return, notably Odobert. However a number have become unsellable and we have resorted to regular loans of several players. I am confident a number of this seasons acquisitions could make very good returns too. More imp...

The acquisition of him three years ago when VK joined is just an indication of our scatter gun approach (Churlinov/Obefemi/Decroix/Vitinho/ Bastian/Ramsey/Amdouini/Muric/O Shea) -just to mention a few. Ok there were a few good ones ie Foster,Odobert, Koleosho, Benson, Zarourry. This seasons acquisit...

When does his contract with us end ?. Lets hope he gets game time, avoids injuries and plays as well as he did during his first season with us

Someone on here did state quite factually that he was off to the sunshine, so there could be something in this.

Not convinced he will get much game time at Wolves-they have some good players

The only creativity about Tresor is his brilliance over avoiding playing. Take a bow Mikey-30 minutes in 16 months is some achievement

warksclaret

Ramsey is a great move for both parties-I just hope we have specified some realistic target to Leicester on the amount of game time enjoys, otherwise its pointless

If Florentino & Cullen become our anchors I can see Big Les becoming our 10 and Hannibal battling JBL for wide right. We have some squad now.

Best option for right wing is Tchaouma and Hannibal a sub when legs are tiring

He is full of trickery but that comes at a price when he is disposessed for trying the impossible as witnessed yesterday

Thought Walker was a 2 year deal

Just watched the highlights again from yesterday. We could easily have conceded 4 from corners-one was a goal, then Mount hit the top of the bar with a glanced header and there were two that went to the edge of the penalty are, that involved a good save and the other one a shot from Fernandez that w...

The more I watch us the more I think there should be a spot for Tresor. Maybe not to start every week but we sometimes lack calmness and creativity in our passing which is what he has in abundance. He could have been really useful yesterday in helping getting us some control in midfield. AN attacki...

What stands our for me is that there is plan to mark the opponents danger men, ie when we play Arsenal are Esteve, Ekdal, Foster, Ugochukwu,Walker picking up Saliba, Gabriel, Timber,Calafiori etc'. You dont need to be an in depth set piece coach or analyst to know these guys will hurt you. Classic e...

Have you seen the size of Tzuanzebe?? Huge, fast and nearing fitness.

Not seen much of him, but lets hope he is match ready soon, but I believe most of his games at Ipswich were at RB

warksclaret

He gets very easily exposed I think because of the physicality of the PL. Several times today it happened and it nearly led to goals

warksclaret

Isn't Worral a towering CH? You might describe him as towering-hes probably the best aerial attacker of a ball that we have. However he is relatively slow for the PL and will get exposed relatively easy, and he is not to the mobility requirements of the PL either which is why he was not making the ...

Regardless of class there's no excuse for the free header that led to their first goal. That was just poor defending. Seems we were so worried about who to mark in the six yard box we completely forgot about the area outside. There were three United players including the scorer just queuing up unma...

warksclaret

If we get a towering centre half to partner Esteve it may allow Worrall to go on loan or move permanently. Ekdal is a competent back up, and Humphreys provides cover at CH but more importantly cover and competition for Hartman who looked exposed today. WE really do have a bloated squad

warksclaret

Not a big fan of a GK going up for corners or direct free kicks. Been watching football for over 60 years and the times a GK has scored I can count on one hand. What I have seen on numerous occasions is the opposition gaining possession from a poor corner and finding it easy to score as the other te...

Pathetic tbh. Dubravka was clear MOM and it wasn’t even close . Foster was at best 7/10 today and the +1 because he scored. We need better How would you set us up differently-its clear you feel he should not be starting. Bear in mind the window closes in two days, we have probably used our budget, ...

Lovely to see these comments-and to think one poster used the match thread to advise us he was cr..p

Good to see Foster with high ratings-thats in all three games, and could so easily be on 3 goals so far

warksclaret

Its either a pen or a Maguire header at the end-was always going to be the case. I know we were the subject of two disputed decisions, however we could easily have lost by 4 or 5 more goals today. Had that happened we would be being critical of our defending. The focus on these decisions is masking ...

WE cant be as bad in the second half-just need to get Anthony in the game and bring Tchaouma on instantly. At least Cullen and Les trying

I would worry if we bought in a hard tackling CM into the team who was unable to get a yellow card from time to time. Weren't Browmhill & Cullen both getting close to double figures last season

Managed to go tonight. A reality in witnessing the huge gulf between PL and Championship. Leicester under big pressure from PSR have sold well over £50m of players and brought no one in. But you have to take your hat off to the quality of their academy players coming through

Exceptional that season for us alongside Sam Vokes. Hard to believe how well it worked to be honest given neither of them had suggested they would be that good previously. He did more than OK during the PL season but I think it tailed off when everyone I think got a bit fed up of him because of his...

Goodison News reporting that Everton are preparing a bid for Luís. They contradict the reports that say we have agreed a deal with Benfica. Exciting isn’t it?

Fail to see why some fans want to come on here just to report that someone who may be joining us is no good.

I can also see away from home is going 4-5-1 rather than the 5-2-3 and the midfield 5 behind Hannibal and Anthony wide with Cullen Lesley and Florentino Luis as a 3 with them one of foster and broja the 1 up top

I think when Tchaouma gets a start, he will take some displacing

With these two names being mentioned-and phenomenal if one or both come off, its had me thinking how far the pecking order its going to push some of last season's heroes.

We only had 42% possession against Sunderland - suspect that may be a season high

As a comparison Forest averaged 40% possession last season and did not do too bad. They relied heavily on the pace of their wide men and fullbacks
