Can’t imagine Gordon Greer is particularly looking forward to his annual review (assuming these outgoing loans come under his remit).

Building on this, I think our best hope with him is that he develops into a Pascal Gross type of role because ultimately he’s not got the physical profile to play as a second striker/10 (which has reminded me that’s where Gross played in his away debut against Leicester and looked like a...

Under RDZ Hinsh played as an inverted full back and got to spend a lot of time with a bit of freedom in more central positions. He was often the spare man because of the tactical set up and because opposition did not see him as a threat. He didn’t have to do a great deal of 1v1 defending but...

Absolutely criminal decision from whoever is in charge of the music not to play a song where Baleba’s name could be sung after the final whistle on Saturday. If they’d have put I’m a believer on, everyone in the stadium would’ve been singing along to it and it’d have a chance of sticking as...

He’s improving, of that there if no doubt.

Feel like I might be going against the grain a bit here, but my feeling is that he still doesn’t have the physicality to play as a #10. He’s very tidy in what he does, but at this level that role requires so much. Definitely a player in there, just need to work out where he plays, because the...

Not sure about what’s he’s done wrong but I generally prefer him off the bench for the last 30. He hasn’t got the legs for 90 minutes and seems to have more of an impact coming on as a sub.

Big game for a variety of reasons, a notable one being it’s an opportunity for Fabian to prove some doubters wrong in regards to his tactics and team shape. I think there’s probably a fair amount of consensus on the belief that our out of possession shape is causing us issues, so it will be...

I think it depends on if you’re wearing the knock off Stone Island tat or the stuff that costs outrageous money. Either way I’m sure ‘being humble’ was not the correct phrase :lolol:

Yeah he was the other one that sprung to mind, along with Brezovan. Gonna need some older heads on here to help out for top pen keepers pre-Ormerod!

5/5 I think. Can we do goalkeepers? Stockdale surely the best in The Amex era, saved 4 out of 10. All 4 were significant in the outcome of the match as well if I remember correctly. Bart probably the worst in a very long time out of our regular keepers. Even Sanchez saved one.

Interesting nonetheless. Would love to see a breakdown of STH numbers into 10/15 year age brackets.

Does anyone have any insight into Strasbourg’s style of play under Rosenior?

I didn’t know the club had acknowledged that as a problem. I haven’t reflected on the age demographic at The Amex in a while, but your post has reminded me that it has always felt underrepresented by millennials and older gen Z types. Whereas it feels as though there are lots in the boomers...

With his usual riveting content I see :lolol:

If there is truth in FH being 4/5th choice, then I think it does somewhat increase the likelihood of a parting of ways in the summer, but only if there is a candidate that TB/PB have identified and are confident they can secure. One of our transfer philosophies appears to be that we will sign...

Because the style that worked required three key elements: - Webster (or a centre back pairing that fed confidence into the rest of the team) - Rutter - Minteh doing an incredible job in a hybrid winger/wing back role. Webster and Rutter are obviously unavailable and it was never sustainable...

But the two signings with a more reasonable sample size (Minteh and Rutter) are in the top 5 of players with 10+ starts.

Brilliant - thank you. Further underlines how much FH struggles to find a system that works without Webster, Veltman/Lamptey and Rutter. Sad that Dunk has the highest loss percentage. He must know the correlation in results between him in the side/not in the side. Confidence must be suffering...

You could argue cases for a few of the summer signings matching elements of those profiles when fully fit - Rutter, Minteh, Wieffer, Ferdi. (I might be pushing it with the last two!)
