pretty sure he was joking/being ironic.

yeah, without Grealish we have zero penetration and are so predictable. Hourihane is damn terrible, i really dislike that guy. El Ghazi/Adomah and friends just......no idea what to say tbh. Tammy missed a sitter again?

are we expecting Grealish back for the next match?

Green is injured.

and Adomah?!?!?!?!

probably not his fault, the team was playing bruce ball in the closing 20 minutes, the mid field may as well not have existed.

the impression im getting is we dont draw while trying to play football, we are drawing while playing Bruce ball.......no development?, is that a reasonable assessment?

then try Davis......he should.

Yeah i have personally thought for a few games now, this is a huge rebuild process, hoping to be ready for next season.

how has MIngs played? How is Carroll doing in his cameo?

up to 9th in the league if things stay as they are Only 4 points off the playoffs please be back next week Grealish.

mcginn picked up a knock maybe?

Hourihane will soon pull him to one side and "educate" him.

he's on the bench for Sheff Utd today.

Tbh I tend to feel this proves he doesnt rate Hause or Hause isn't ready for first team football yet, otherwise hause would have been starting where Mings is now to rest Chester.

just considering what our team might look like with a fully fit and up to speed team? Kalinic Hutton - Chester - Hause - Mings Grealish - Carroll - McGinn El Ghazi - Abraham - Green Obviously i dont 100% expect Hause to be in the first 11, im just kinda hopeful our loan to buy signings will actually prove to be good enough?? Also i think the Green slot is debatable?, could be Green, Kodjia or Adomah?, i also wonder if Davis would be capable of playing in that role, he is pretty strong/quick and tricky from the times i have seen him play. Next Season????? (assuming all loan signings work out and we buy them, and grealish stays?) Kalinic Gilbert - Chester - Hause - Mings Grealish - XXX - McGinn XXX - Davis - XXX So basically a ball playing DM needed (or Carroll if he does well), and some wide players (O'Hare/Green/homegrown pushing for one of those slots maybe?) Hopefully some U23s currently on loan will prove their worth and push for a 1st team spot or at least a cameo spot on the bench. I added Davis there as personally i really rate him, but who knows.

i wouldnt get carried away too much with expecitng us to win. Derby only beat them 2-1, Reading beat Forest recently, they also drew with stoke at home, if our form was better then i would be more optimistic, but eh, our form isnt great at mo.

Such a pity Grealish isn't fit yet, I think with him in the team and the new signings we would see our true potential. I think it could take a few weeks before we start seeing what our capability will be for the rest of the season. (Aka Grealish back and Mings/carroll/hause up to speed and fit)

If he lacks confidence god help him when VP gets on his back for one bad pass. I really hope he does well though, fingers crossed.

My point is, if they aren't good enough we shouldn't have signed them, and we should likely have tried to sign someone else. Will see let hope they are.

Me too. The last thinks we need is all our signings except kalinic being bench warmers, otherwise what was the point.

Yeah i just hope they also stick with smith, we need proper continuity and a plan. Sure they will ofc. (Hope)

we can epay via ebay, might get a good discount on multi shipping.

ye forgot about Davis, could add Bannan to that list too imo.

yeah agreed, i over played it a little, but i still stand by my general point that as a club we have historically wasted reasonable talent to varying degrees, and if we were better run and managed, we may not have.
