We still ave a few to go out and quite a few to come in. So, at the moment I ave no idea what our line up will be. Even allowing for it being the opening day I can't see you winning by four again. Shame about the virus cos this one would ave been a full ouse.

The stealth 1 Derby stalker is back

Thanks for posting REV, I hope you are well.

I'm over the shambles that was the nine game finish to the season and looking forward to the restart. I'm assuming that season ticket holders will get the same iFollow deal when we restart.

Two good signings and two wait-and-see so far. But hoping that the signing of Taylor signals and change in formation. I can't see either him or Grabban being happy to share the loan striker role. Also will Blackett mean a three at the back formation?

Hi Red, hope you’re well too

I was thinking/am hoping exactly the same, that surely the purchase of Taylor means he may go for a more orthodox 2 up front, and if so, then we’ll done him for at least being able to make those changes - the last thing we needed was another pig-headed manager that wasn’t prepared to change his ways - so if the mama get is going to try different options that we’ll done him

If we can just make another couple of signings and manage to keep hold of Cash and Worrall, we’ll have a cracking squad for next season - but time will tell

Great to see you alive and kicking Rev, don't do the star stuff so please don't knock me for that trash bro.

Looking forward to a newbie though 💪

And Red for 50 years...respect

Take care old foe ✌️

Cheers Igor.
Look forward to renewing fierce, fair, friendly rivalry.
Hope we both finish top six for a bit of extra spice.

REV, I think if Sabri does intend to play two strikers we need to bring in one more as backup. I wouldn’t want to rely on da Costa or Walker too often. Although I think Walker would benefit from playing alongside Taylor.

Where is Strett?


Asking for a friend.

Hi Igor - hope life is treating you and yours well

As it stands this is the team I would like to see run out on the first day -

......................Samba...................
..........Worrall..Figueirdo..Blackett....
................Sow.......Colback............
Cash................ lolly ...........Ameobi
...............Grabban..Taylor................

Lolly with a free role but going into the right and cash dropping back as and when needed to turn it into a more classic 442 and more aggressive 352/3232 when needed and capable, decent back up on the bench to give more options.

I like the look of that team

I wouldn't bet on Cash being here by the time the season kicks off.
Paul Taylor in his column on the Athletic is softening up supporters in anticipation of his sale. I can't see him going to Villa though?
