Should we try him up front with Wesley?

yes

I'd be tempted to try El Ghazi through the middle almost as a false 9. This way we can keep Trez on the right. McGinn bombs forward well anyway, and El Ghazi's goals have been from center. 

My thoughts

I think it will be Pete Buttigieg. He is the most normal one out of them all, and he can actually take questions. I also think Trump is a little scared of Pete because he is probably the most calm and collected democrat so Trump's normal shithousery won't work. 

It's just not enough. Yea Wesley is doing a lot better lately of holding up the ball and moving which has allowed our wingers and midfield to find space, but that is the basics of any target striker. Even Davis does that very well. The main reason Davis isn't our starting striker is because he rarely scores. Well Wesley is having the same issue. If we don't mind our striker not scoring, then we might as well have saved our money and made Davis our starting striker. 

My biggest worry is Wesley is barely getting any chances. Yes he had a shot against United, but that was a poor effort from out of the box. He got a tap in against Newcastle which he missed. He maybe pops up with 1 decent chance a match which is worrying. We are a club that takes a lot of shots, but Wesley is not contributing to that. He needs to do more. 

I think we will slowly start turning these draws to wins, and losses to draws. You can see we are a good side with a lot of talent. Numerous matches even against the "big boys", we have been very good, but lack the experience, stamina, or confidence to close it out.

I think that will slowly change. If we can stay up this season, I really think next year we can be a good side if we hold onto our players. 

So at this rate we'd finish on 40-42 points which basically is always good enough to finish a few spots above relegation. 

Ideally come January 2nd, we can be on 30 points. We have 5 matches in the next month that are winnable/must wins for survival. 

If we can manage to knick any points off Leicester, United, Chelsea, or Sheffield, I'd be very happy. 

That steak is not cooked at all

I think if Kodjia had the same minutes Wesley has had, Kodjia would have at least the same amount of goals

Wesley already has as many PL goals as Kozak amassed for us.

As long as Ciaran Clark don't break his leg I'm sure he'll surpass him pretty soon.

Doesn't mean Wesley is excelling thou.

I am using minutes played because at this point in the season, kozak broke his leg and never played for us again. It's not like Kozak continued to play the rest of the season and never scored again. 

Libor Kozak had a better strike rate than Wesley at basically the same age, and Kozak is regarded as a shit signing on here. Kozak also was much better at holding up the ball, and played with a lot worse players than what we have now. 

Wesley is really struggling. 

Just want to say, we have only lost 1 match this season in which Conor has started and that was the very first match away to Spurs. 

He is so underrated in this team. He does a lot of little things right, and keeps the ball moving forward. We need that. If we want to win, we have to start him. 

I bought a ps4 pro just to play this. Hopefully it's good. 

Cardiff 100% have to pay for his transfer. Sala was a Cardiff player and Nantes lost their player because of it. This is Cardiff's deal, and it's terrible what happened, but they are on the hook. 

Trying to wind us up, but we made it back to the premier league without him, and he is stuck at home alone drunk with his career in tatters. Absolute tool. 

El Ghazi for striker? Honestly his movement is really good and he pops up in the box to get a shot off very consistently. 

His legs are gone, but he can still pass, shoot, and his vision is fantastic. In the right system, I am sure he can work, but I don't see him being a viable option unless we are chasing a goal or playing a team with 10 men.

You mean that Jota that is recovering from a Hernia? 

Back in training Monday, and it's not like he will be injured all season. I am just saying I prefer to bring on Jota if we need a goal vs Trez. 

Prefer to give Jota a chance. 

Jota has 1 goal and 1 assist in 406 minutes

Trez has 0 goals and 1 assist in 687 minutes

Not sure how legal their stance of take a pay cut or we will sack you is... 

Not that I mind then sacking him. Never liked him!

It's likely a contract extension with a lower pay but goes 3-4 years vs his high paid salary for another 1.5 years. 

I am not sure which one is better. Keogh won't be able to play till basically 2021 when his contract is up, and I doubt there will be any clubs after him even on a free. But signing a 3-4 year deal on a lower pay because makes sure he at least has a chance at playing for Derby again once he comes back from his injury and he keeps collecting pay while having access to their facilities.

Bit harsh to compare him to Holman in my opinion. He has much more about him. 

He definitely does have much more potential, but at the moment, Trez is just a hard working winger. El Ghazi struggled when he first joined us, but he later found his groove. I am hoping Trez will do the same.

Trez reminds me very much of Brett Holman who also offered very little football wise but tried hard too.

Yes! Trez so far seems like a flashier version of Holman. I hope he can get the hang of the league, but at the moment, I am not seeing much from him. 

I'd rather see us go for us vs bunker and hope to knick a goal. 

City is missing basically all their center backs, so this is a perfect chance for Wesley to prove himself. He will be going against centermids player defenders. I think if we provide an aerial threat, we will win. I'd keep Conor solely for set pieces because I think that is our best chance to win this.
