Our present squad

[Eagleman13]

Thats just the way we set up though.

He's scored at a reasonable rate everywhere he's been. Including international.

Our 2 CM's are to contain, not create.

Talking of 'setting up' watching our U21's v Boro 0-0 ht, but they are set up 4-2-3-1.

No great surprise. He will probably go wherever Glasner next ends up. One of those players who rarely catches the eye but clearly makes the midfield tick. We look a much worse team when he doesn’t play and the likes of Wharton have dropped a level without him playing alongside.

No big loss at all. Thanks for the two-and-a-half decent games you had for us. We've got and will go and find so much better.

Sorry but that's just rubbish.

Thanks for the detailed tactical analysis. I’ll look at the facts and the results if it’s all the same.

Haha, fair enough. I was a bit blunt. I've analysed it up the wazoo in other threads, so am tired of repeating myself, that's all. Apologies.

Hughes is far, far defensively superior to Daichi.
Daichi is marginally superior offensively.
Wharton is more of an offensive player.
Hughes offers the defensively solidity we need, as evidenced by recent clean sheets.
Wharton and Hughes is the best and most balanced combination.

Although I should add, I'm glad to have Kamada has an option off the bench for added offensive impetus, should we be chasing a game.

Stats dont show that though bud. Hughes just looks busier.

What the 1 clean sheet vs Brighton! Great evidence there.

If my contract was running out and the manager was leaving I would not want to make any decisions until I know who is coming in and what their plans are.

Hopefully Kamada will change his mind.

 

[MonsterMunch]

Certainly improved, the bar started pretty low though. Tidy but doesnt effect the game enough for me, like all our MF. I feel we can find better

A fair assessment and I agree I would not break the bank to keep him. However we don't know why he wont sign maybe money isn't the issue maybe it is.

I would be happy to keep him but as always if we can improve with another player then great.

There is no sentiment in football.

We don't really know that he won't sign an extension as it was just one clickbait article that claimed that he wouldn't and that was from Sky who aren't renowned for their accuracy
