Signed for the club in 2024 from AFC Wimbledon according to the official site’s match report.

GK: Tyrer RB: Patterson [HT] / Tamen LB: Mykolenko [HT] / Patterson CB: Keane [HT] / O’Brien CB: Branthwaite [HT] / Keane CM: Iroegbunam CM: Garner [HT] / Armstrong [80] / Metcalfe AM: Armstrong [HT] / McNeil RW: McNeil [HT] / Chermiti [60] / Clarke LW: Alcaraz [60] / Heath ST: Chermiti [HT]...

Of the young lads: Armstrong (not even sure he’s classed as a young lad now!): pure quality. Should be in the first team squad this season sharing minutes in the number 10 role, he looked better there than deeper in the second half, but versatility to do both roles is also a bonus. Heath...

Team is currently: GK: Tyrer RB: Tamen LB: Patterson RCB: O’Brien LCB: Keane CM: Iroegbunam CM: Armstrong RW: McNeil LW: Alcaraz ST: Chermiti ST: Beto

Again, I totally agree with the idea behind it and you’re absolutely right about standing still. For me though, I can see Keane playing a maximum of 5 games this season. Next season, if Tarkowski is on the decline (which he might not even be), then O’Brien steps up to start alongside...

Team for next season based on current squad: GK: Pickford RB: O’Brien LB: Mykolenko CB: Tarkowski CB: Branthwaite CM: Gueye CM: Garner AM: Alcaraz RW: McNeil LW: Ndiaye ST: Barry Subs: Tyrer Coleman Patterson Keane Iroegbunam Armstrong Chermiti Beto Still need: Starters- RB RW...

I agree with this, but I do think the club did the right thing here; we can sort out the upcoming centre back next summer when there’s much less to do / spend money on. If we weren’t looking for so many players this season, I think we’d have binned Keane and gone for a young prospect.

RW RB CM GK RW In that order, please. And sell Patterson too.

Not sure loan signings of that ilk can be considered a “waste of money”; if anything, it saved us from lumping money on someone who didn’t quite fit the bill but that we brought in anyway due to desperation. I’m personally glad to see the back of the “£28m on Yannick Bolasie” days. Having...

Some signs of encouragement there. Observations - Harrison & Lindstrøm nowhere near good enough, must replace with a quality wide option. - Doucoure plenty of endeavour & pressed well but severe lack of quality in possession; can be used in certain games, but let’s get Moyes his Cahill /...

On red button now

I’m really torn on this one. I want Dyche out but I don’t want to burden the new manager with this current squad; would much rather the new manager have a totally fresh start in the summer: whole pre-season to work, new squad, new backroom staff, new stadium, etc. Even if Dyche refused to play...

Well surely that begins now? We have a LOT to do in the summer already; take a look at the “discussion points” of the original post: what do you think we can get done in January? Regardless of division, we have 14 players returning to parent club / out of contract in the summer leaving us with...

Coincidental timing but the Echo just posted a story on this. Didn’t realise Mills had been out for so long; 11 months since his injury whilst out on loan at Oxford in League One. Mills is 21 now and training with our first team. I really liked the look of him when he first broke through...

Hard to say with PSR, but we will have approximately £600k / week in wages freed up.
