Brenda from Bristol,,,,,,, ANOTHER ONE 

Really hope Gayle opens his account. A confident Gayle could make all the difference to our season.

3-2-4-1 in front of Wildsmith. 
 
Nelson - Bradley - Cashin
Adams - Bird
Wilson - NML - Barkhuizen - Sibley
Gayle

Looks like a man made out of Lego Sir and zero presence up front.

Think we got cup finalled by Barnsley today
Filled their stadium, got their fans riled up, made the most of the home advantage and we shrank into ourselves under the pressure in our biggest game of the season so far
But Barnsley also caught us at a bad time, we’re without a striker and Gayle wasn’t ready to start. That doesn’t excuse the headless passing but we’d have made more of our chances with Collo playing today. It was still a fairly even game.
We’ll have a similar situation at Pompey so we need to learn from this and get a result there to make up for today. We also need to make sure we’re the ones ‘cup finalling’ Bolton when they come to town.
Stopping the calls for the head of a manager who’s clearly not getting sacked would be a good start. 

We're second in the division. Why don't we deserve it? That makes zero sense.
We're not very good, but CLEARLY, neither is the entire division.
You don't fluke your way to 20 wins out of 33 games.

In the U21 games, I don't think there's much between Fornah and DRobinson
 
We had a couple of bad years with U18 intakes. Following the very succesful 2018 group which contained Cashin, Ebosele, Archie Brown, Sibley, Thompson and Stretton.
In 2019: We had Bardell (still with us but struggled with injuries), Nto (just returned to our U21s), as a well as the likes of Solomon, Aghatise and Cybulski. Delap would have been part of this group, but left prior to the season starting.
In 2020: We had Ibrahim and Borkovic. Williams was signed by Chelsea in Jan 2022
We are then into the 2021 group who are only 1st year pros this season so you can see why we've had a gap.
2021: Evans, Aideyan, Ryan Moore, Moloney, Sebagabo, DRobinson, Fapetu, Eze, Richards, Ebiowei, Nicholas-Davies, Kaide Gordon, ZDixon
2022: Shattell, Grant (joined Man City at U13/14 level), Cox, KRobinson, Perry, Gough, Hawkins, Simons, Kellyman, Sharpe, Davidson,DBrown, Wheeldon
2023: JThompson, Price, Osayande, IGordon, Banks, Gill, Eames, Tola, Allen, McAndrew, Osong, Agustien, Kaba, Scanlon, Oguntola
From having just a couple of 'high potential' players likely to play in the Championship or higher in 2019 and 2020 combined, we're back to having several players with a good chance of making it to that level in each year group - even with 9 players from the 3 most recent groups having been snapped up by other Cat 1 clubs

If we beat Bolton, it's in ours

Lee Gregory left out too. Thanks for nothing Wednesday. 

Mendez Laing is pretty adept at the low hard crosses that Gayle could thrive on.

Dwight in his green Pumas.

No, Thommo and Weston buzzing around Wheeldon. According to the trainee coaches behind me we are playing two number 10s.
I'm not sure what they know, though - one of them has a Forest coat on!

I like this a lot even if Collo hadn’t got injured I would have been pleased with this signing 
A goalscorer and more importantly a different type of striker …I really wanted us to sign him when he left Newcastle as I’ve always thought he’s a threat 
well done DCFC getting this done 👍🏻

Said somewhere else that this was the one I fancied us winning of those left in February. Draw the home games and best this lot. I feel like we're a better team and that they won't be as desperate to s******** as Charlton were and Stevenage even more so. The win against Stevenage was a good 3 points in a game where not a lot of football was played and I agree that Barnsley will at least attempt to win on merit. Hopefully a little easier on the eye and another 3 points after which a win at home to Charlton and we might be looking alright going into March.

He’s a 6 yard box poacher needing ball at feet. Could work well with NML, CBT providing the amo ?

Was linked to Port Vale. They would not have been paying much wages.
If he did want to play In Championship again his best chance will be to help push us over the line and earn a contract for next season.

Bolton have three tricky away games now. I'd take a draw at Barnsley

Gosh this thread is a hard read at times. For those of you so dissatisfied at Warne, the style of football etc, genuine question. Did you not get any enjoyment from scoring a near last minute goal and the amazing atmosphere that it created in the ground? Did you not enjoy the celebrations amongst the players and fans at the end of the match? Did you not enjoy the infectious enthusiasm of Adams interview afterwards? Didn't you enjoy getting three points and remaining second in the league? Because it honestly feels like none of this brings you any joy, and I find that hard to understand.

I think with Collins out and him being our only number 9, that we will syart to see more of a 3412/3421 like we finished with yesterday meaning Gayle would likely be in a front 2 with NML until Waggy & Washington are fit. We could switch to 343 with Barkhuizen, Sibley & CBT.
In the next few weeks our attacking options could well be Gayle Waghorn Washington NML CBT Barkhuizen Sibley Wilson so thats still alot of good attacking options at this level
