I would drop Dembele. You cannot have a player in the team that refuses to work defensively. Not at the moment anyway. |

Getting pumped 7-1 and pissing away one of the 3 competitions we play in is not to like.
Nourry bot post? |

Likely another 2.5 million down the swanny.
Along with the 3.5 million quid hit we will probably take on Madsen.
Wonder if Andy Belk will get another promotion. |

I think this where most of us that are longer in the tooth have landed.
What I will say, is that I noticed that the summer break came at a good time for me as the negativity was affecting my mental health a bit. Cue a great summer off watching cricket and now I am trying to manage that by being more balanced.
Like most, I am excited by some of the signings, but also concerned that winning football matches isn't going to be easy again. |

I listened to his post match presser from the club and he mentioned fatigue towards the end of the game.
After the team he picked on Tuesday and how that went down, he really should be more careful with his words as this fanbase will eat him alive, they won't accept many more stunts like that. |

But we are now a season and a half into the "game model".
Its a continuation of that. The only time we have had any sustained success in winning games, was when Cifuentes ditched the game model and went with 3 out and out midfielders and dropped the 10.
If you want to play with a 10, you need two wingers that will work back and defend (and backups) and also 3/4 players capable of playing 6 or 8.
The midfield, yet again is a massive problem. |

But it's not a tough ask to be expected to close down a man that he just watched cross the ball for their 2nd goal.
He literally stood there and watched. Complete lack of effort. Thats nothing to do with playing out of position. |

Larkeche ACL. Can happen.
I have heard Poku is 3 months with a hammy. That is unacceptable.
Get rid of the charlatan Williams and get some proper physios and doctors in there. Someone professionally trained. |

I know we have been talking up a striker and a left back. But we are woefully short in central midfield. That needs to be a priority! |

Two days out from the season and a few question marks in the squad and the club refuse to give the spiv fans an update. So what do we know?
Jimmy - Looks like a hip injury?
Steve Cook - Hammy.
Michi Frey – from all accounts, he looks like he is out for a while.
JCS - Broken Heartstring.
Anyone else? |

I think he has previously referred to his role as a Sporting Director type role. |

When I say messaging, I will admit, the way it was said can be interpreted in different ways. Apologies for the lack of nuance.
When I say messaging, I am not saying CN has said specifically he is reinventing the wheel. What I meant was, is that there is this widespread belief in the fanbase that this data, science and development thing is all new and there have been widespread changes in these areas. |

While I do admit thats it good that we are trying to stick to a specific path (data, science, development), I dont accept that this is anything new. The development line was being troped out for years under Ferdinand and Ramsay and they were the ones that started the DS.
We have also been using Andy Belks data for 10 years now, except now he has managed to wangle his way into a job where he is "more empowered".
So yes its good that the message is clear and consistent, but I just dont like the messaging that CN is reinventing the wheel. |
