Smith a good option to bring off the bench as well if we need a goal, seem to naturally go more direct and more balls in the box later on. Often not sure who we’re aiming them at.

Yeah agree, don’t hugely rate smith but for how we play and balls in the box is great for league one. To get out of this division is all we need, worry about championship next year

I’d be happy with ladapo on loan for six months! Think can play wide or through the middle.

I do like the look of him, find it worrying how little he’s been played though. That needs to change pretty quickly.

I think it’s time to move on from bird, we’re playing in league one and he’s still not running games. Is a nice footballer with some good passing but not sure that’s enough.

Second goal is a weird one, almost in slow motion. Think he maybe dived too early, perhaps had time to take a step and then dive.

Brannagan at Oxford also a good option.

Yeah not been impressed with bird or hourihane so far.

Lack of conviction sums it up well, even out first touches seem hesitant or initially backwards. Been better last ten though.

Yeah £4m is more than I expected. Again would hope for at least that in the summer if promoted.

I guess the stats show that scoring goals isn’t all about the striker. We have too many games where striker is not involved. Collins didn’t achieve much at Wigan or Oxford, still puts a good shift in though. Washington has been ok at best. Again we need at least another option or a better option than Washington. defensive mix wise we have smith, but don’t think he complements our other midfielders at all. An upgrade in this position be a big help. And we’re trying to win the league, scoring the most and conceding the least should be the target. Along with winning games. It’s not that difficult a league, we feel close at the minute. Is the ideal time to strengthen.

Yeah, think if the last eight/ nine games shown anything it’s that we all want derby to succeed. I’m so happy to be proved wrong on my opinion of warne, long may it continue.

What’s the answer then?

Agree on this, we need people to come into the eleven and improve it. Not in case of injury. A striker is the obvious one that we need, I think a wide option too. Someone above lists the six options we have in midfield, I wouldn’t be against changing a couple of these. Moving smith on if found a better option? Or if bird leaves a bid for Brannigan at Oxford, rumoured to have £1m release clause.

Has it ever been established whether the attendance is tickets sold or people actually attending?

I’m not sure about that, last night for example we had 19 corners and barely won a header from them. Don’t think we get the striker involved in the game enough either. Wigan first half is how I want us to play football, was moving the ball quickly, movement off the ball and creating chances. Is a great run but don’t think we’ve cracked it by any means, was a similar vibe around the club this time last year and that unravelled.

It’s a forum, it’s an opinion. Think a pretty reasonable one? We’re allowed to discuss players and selection.

Similar, really didn’t see where we were headed. Just all seems to have clicked hasn’t it. Looking forward to every game now. Long may it continue.

What a win!! Hard not getting carried away at the minute. Totally bossed it after a crazy start! Cashin was immense again. Still think we were quite wasteful tonight, didn’t create loads in open play and could’ve done more with corners! Feels a good spirit about the squad too, is all coming together. Like to see John Jules have a start Monday, Collins looked tired the last couple of games.

Sibley for barkhuizen seems an obvious sub

Yeah they have zero need to chase the game. Be very content with this. think I’d bring John Jules on for barkhuizen and go two up top. we’re giving some really lazy fouls away too.

That’s the most blatant penalty I’ve ever seen! No way you’re getting away with that, so brain dead

Was hoping would have played a bit more in the last month. Coming on out wide not really telling us much either! did think wigan was an ideal chance to give him half hour, manage Collins minutes too. Perhaps suggests warne sees him as a level below Collins?

Someone a bit like bamford was at the time, I know is unpopular now around here. But genuinely offered a goal threat from nothing on his loan spell. Had that bit of extra quality too. was a great option.

Would definitely have dobbin back! Liked him last season, really carried us up the pitch well. Just finishing that was an issue. Be a great signing in jan but think would want championship if going on loan again.
