Rampant

Early morning thoughts from me.....
1. That's W9 D1 L1 in the last 11 league games. We'd all like to see us playing like the Brazil '70 team but we're in league one and still recovering from the Mel Morris induced meltdown. We're doing okay.
2. We need to play with three in the middle which would be Thompson, Bird and Hourihane for me. 
3. TJJ's best asset is his first touch in the box and ability to get a shot away. He's not as effective out wide or playing deeper. Collins deserves to start up top given his run of goals but TJJ should either directly replace him as a sub or play alongside him up top and central with a view to getting him in the box as often as possible.
4. Vickers isn't overly convincing but he can be forgiven for not being at 100% in all areas given the personal upheaval he's experienced recently. None of us would be immune from a dip in performance levels in his boots. 
6. What happened to number 5?
5. It's early morning Rampant, relax. I'm here.
7. What's the deal with Fozzy? Injured?

Ha - yeah, I know. Reckless days and boy did we suffer the consequences.

This thread has reminded me that we once paid £3m for Florian Jozefzoon.

Probably fair to say that none of Ward, Fornah or Sibley advanced their claim to be starting league matches.

Wildsmith
Ward         Nelson         Cashin          Elder
                          Robinson
               Thompson      Fornah       
   Barkz                Collins                Sibley
                           
Vickers, Cox, Wilson, Bradley, Smith, John-Jules, Brown
     
 

TJJ's first touch and ability to get a shot away under pressure is stunning. He's done it two or three times now and it's not something you see at this level. He looks sensational imo.

Although not 'our' player, TJJ is miles better than either of them. Securing him until the end of the season is surely our priority?

The criticism of Bird is harsh. The central midfield area needs attention, and was badly outplayed in the first half especially, but Bird should not be the one to be dropped in my opinion. All things being equal I'll like to see Fornah, Bird and Thompson starting as I continue to be underwhelmed by Hourihane.

Yeah, Posh deserved it. 
 

They really do tbf. 
Hourihane off at HT for me.

I'd go for Michael Mellon of Burnley personally (currently on loan at Morecambe). 

The comms team on MUTV were very complimentary throughout about our team.

That's a very kind offer. Hopefully somebody can take you up on it.

Good man. 
The "not that one" made me chuckle.
