Got another assist and scored in the penalty shootout against Cape Verde in a friendly. Definitely a player in there. Should be getting as much game time as possible from now until the end of the season.

I’ve always thought that he was the type of player that just looked uninterested, kind of like Jordan Ayew was for us but I don’t know if that reflects how he plays/feels. I’d argue the fact that he wanted to take a penalty shows that he cares. He wasn’t at his best tonight though, I think we...

Brennan Johnson has looked good at club level whatever league he’s played in. I watched him quite a bit for Forest and Spurs in the PL and he is definitely good enough, perhaps we aren’t playing to his strengths? That’s the only thing I can come up with.

Not enough quality at the top end of the pitch. We had 19 shots and only 3 on target. Gutting but that’s what happens when you get in good positions and don’t make the most of it.

Always annoys me that they are the only “big 6” side that we didn’t beat while in the Premier League. That stadium in the Championship is a joke, absolutely no way a club like that should be getting relegated, looks like spectacular mismanagement from those at the top.

Grimes should never be judged on his ability to score though surely? He was the type of player to retain the ball under pressure and keep the play ticking and he did that very well. He can’t be blamed for the style of football we were playing under particular managers. I used to be one of...

The Cabango situation for the pen is a strange one. There’s no foul but a little bit of contact and I think that’s why he didn’t argue. He knew that was enough justification even though no foul was actually committed. Also desperately unlucky for Vigs as he guessed the right way and was a good...

Think we stand a chance of getting something against Sheffield United away, they aren’t on the best form and if we show up on the day, we’ll cause them problems. Watched the highlights from yesterday, actually was encouraged by some of our attacking play and there was an element of unluckiness...

Think there is always going to be focus on the negatives after a loss like that, especially with the Grimes narrative in the background. Important to remember the positives as well though. Matos has us playing well in patches and any improvement to our set piece record is solely down to him...

Feel like Galbraith has the potential to be better than Grimes eventually but isn’t quite there yet. Hope we can keep him this summer and have a full season of him in the midfield.

Haven’t seen any of it today so keep that in mind. A lot of the criticism I’m seeing is about missed chances and the CB partnership which I think are things we’ve known for a while now. We know we aren’t clinical when it matters and that something isn’t quite right defensively so we just have...

Some positivity - getting in wingers with higher goal/assist contributions and adding a ball playing CB will improve this team hugely, I genuinely think it’s the difference between midtable and playoffs (with 8 places next season).

I get what you’re saying but I think it’s clear that Walta was bought with an eye on next season. Is it frustrating? Yes, because we want players who are going to make an impact but that’s the situation we’re in.

First home game I’m missing for a good while today and I’m glad I have! Being honest though, I can’t say I’m too surprised. We all know where we need to strengthen and hopefully it’ll be addressed in the summer🤞

Think we’ll probably still lose him this summer but at least we’ll get top dollar unlike some players who have moved on in the past. Can’t ask for much more from the owners than that in a situation like this. It’s exactly what progressive clubs do.
