Would be very happy with either of those next to Michael smith or Lee gregory

Just read £2.5m, that seems far too good to be true.

I’d be amazed if we got £2.5m for bird! Genuinely hope so but really don’t see it.

Intrigued what the fee is for this, be surprised if even close to £1m! You don’t sign players for that sort of money and loan them back. Lets see what striker this enables us to bring in.

Not against this at all, if selling bird enabled us to bring Clarke Harris in would think that a very good deal. Smith isn’t very inspiring, surely the £1m loan fee mentioned is incorrect?

Open to this, hopefully can stay fit. Fornah has been a bit up and down. Started really well, then fell off quite dramatically. Still has shown some qualities though, carries the ball well. Hopefully this a sign the midfield pairing is to change, bird and hourihane is not working.

It could be anything couldn’t it! My message was tongue in cheek

He’ll probably get injured on that basis

I get what you’re saying but some responsibility has to be falling on sibley at some point.

We never play well! Wigan was good for an hour and Oxford good. Since then been pretty rank in six games? call some fans awful if you like but the team were booed at half time, and warne even said he should’ve booed himself. If you are happy with first half yesterday then fair enough. But feel you’re in the minority. not writing Blackett Taylor off at all but has been pretty uninspiring so far, in close to 1 1/2 games has achieved very little. That’s all that’s pointed out.

Is he a central midfielder? Genuinely not sure his best position. Plays well as a 10 but is so inconsistent, and when is poor is totally ineffective.

I know, but surely on your debut you’d try and chase things down and get involved? Was awful but the whole team was awful for an hour. Hopefully has a better game at Charlton next week

Sadly is probably time to take some money for him. Sibley seems to go slightly backwards each season. Is obviously talented but just doesn’t seem to be able to find a position in our team. Under several managers now. Still think best spell he’s had for us has been at left back. Thought he struggled there today though, defensively was awful

It’s not even close is it. If we can do this financially would be a no brainer for me. collins having a decent season, barely touched the ball in three games though. Great goal today, but need a bit more hold up play. Not actually sure is his fault. Confused as to what our plan is

That first half performance was horrific, second didn’t start well but their goal at least pushed us forward. Two good goals from us, not many other positives though. Centre mid was awful again, bird actually got a lot better when Thompson and Fornah came on. Although didn’t think either played well when the came on. Blackett Taylor was poor too, just looked so casual. You’d think be eager to impress on debut but was almost the opposite. good result but we need to play better very quickly!

Every good run we’ve had under warne has been with a settled back four. Not sure why he ever wants to deviate from that.

Don’t hugely rate hourihane but think he is doing a better job than bird to be honest. Bird seems to be a midfielder who is neat at passing. Even that creates little though. Tackling non existent, shooting is two a season, has no pace, little energy. Not bringing enough to the table for me. hourihane also tackles horribly. But at least assists and scores more.

I also have wonder how much of rooneys time in charge was rosenior in charge of tactics etc. nowhere since has Rooney aimed to copy our way of playing. We went months without even looking like scoring away from home. Not sure rosenior was the man to get us out of the division.

Going to three centre backs a strange choice. I’d rather Bradley went up front and tried to win some headers than have three at the back

Him and bird is so bad to watch at times as a midfield. Hard to gauge who’s slower or tackles softer on a bad day! both technically decent but feel soft and slow as a midfield for me.

Got to be close to a sub? John Jules and Blackett Taylor on! Take your pic of players to come off

Yeah he does seem to be getting a bit better each game.

I thought he got the ball but is usually a foul nowadays for tackling too hard! ref not the issue though, been s**** so far! And getting worse it seems

Would take 0-0 at half time and hopefully start again! Been poor so far most players off it. Blacket Taylor on asap too!

Wonder if bird playing further forward with Thompson playing deeper with hourihane? didn’t think sibley was great on Saturday in the 10 role. expecting barks to have a good game, competition generally improves players
