GenBr got a reaction from Ted McMinn Football Genius in The UEFA European Championship 2020 Thread
What position does Phillips play - is he a defensive mid?
We've got some of the best attacking talent we've had in a long time, but we're weak defensively. I'm hoping we go the Lampard route and just go all out attack to score as many goals as possible, so it doesn't matter how many we concede.

Grealish has to start. No setting up to the counter the opposition, let's for once play to our strengths please Mr Southgate.

Yeah, but mings deserves the opportunity to spamp on someone's face on the international stage doesn't he?

Croatia are a tough playing team. I'm not sure our kids are up to it, good as they are in the league. Stirling has a poor recent scoring record. I wouldn't start him, I think he unbalances the team. Given the fouls he wins I would start Grealish.

We don't have any other centre backs at the moment, but I do agree he is a lot better than the rest of the players he had to play next to last season. If he had a competent sidekick he wouldn't have had to cover for multiple other players in the backline either.

The academy approach when done right also leads to success. See the likes of southampton a few years ago.

GenBr reacted to Spanish in Yankee Doodle Derby
these are the official figures after excluding ground sales. Not the whole truth though because some like us have owners that inject money to keep the costs below P&S

There was 2 or 3 that made a profit i think. Can't remember who, but think it was teams like rotherham. If we didn't keep selling players at a loss it would be a lot easier to remain sustainable. Brentford managed to offset a lot of their costs with player sales.

We already let the cream of our youth go for buttons when Delap and Gordon went on the cheap to help keep the lights on.

GenBr got a reaction from MickD in Jason Knight
We clearly see things differently. Knight, Bird and Sibley were all far better under cocu and personally i think he managed his youth contingent very well. All of them are going backwards under Rooney and nothing will change in that regard.
We need to sell whilst they still have some value and they need to leave before we irreversibly cripple their careers.

Wazza plays him all over the pitch in every position. I expect Knight to be in goal at least once next season if he is still here. Hardly ever gets played in his best position by Rooney and is totally wasted here, which is why I want him to leave for his own good.
Can't tell if you are being sarcastic here, but yes Cocu certainly got a lot more out of our youth players than Rooney is doing. They all look to be going backwards now.

Nah he’s not going back, he’s a keeper.

We haven't sold any of our youngsters for any significant amounts of money B4. Hendrick is the only one we've really ever got an ok amount for, but people know we are desperate at the moment and they will take advantage of the situation.

Too right, we're far better than that; we're a bottom four club and proud!

Apart from Buchanan who got called up for England u21s and Knight who had been our best player until Bielik returned. Bird was having to do the work of 2 players next to Rooney.
He looked good against Blackburn last season.

I think it is too often overlooked, the squad the youngsters played in, they could be supporting roles and shine.

GenBr reacted to Ambitious in Jason Knight
We have to be fair to Knight, honestly, Brighton is a great opportunity to develop. Derby isn’t.
Get a fair fee, let him move on with our best wishes. I’d say the same goes for all our young players - all of which regressed during the past season. You’ve got to remember these are young lads, with a lot of potential and deserve the opportunity to move on due to our current situation.
£5m is more than fair.

No, I was being serious, the youngsters have gone backwards under Wazza unfortunately....
