    Willock feels a little wishy-washy in that position. We are missing Uncle Fester.

    JoLo is a bit of a hothead but is solid as f'uck in every way. Lots of completed passes and not getting past him without a tackle or foul or some kind of grief.

    For me, Willock either needs to give more defensively but can't because he is too weak or more intensity going forward. His role os an attacking midfielder but he doesn't impose himself enough. If he did, we'd create more chances. ASM was anonymous.

    Tbf, Terry, I think most of us are in agreement with you.

    Our bench is poor. Murphy, Ritchie, Dummett offer very little and Miggy should be on the bench at best along with Fraser.

    To be honest there is no player on our bench who could come on and make an impact and be a game changer, which of course is the intention of a tactical substitutuion.

    Aye, Pat-the only option we've really got when we're making changes is tactically-and that's a worry.

    Anderson is potentially very good but, as yet, untested.

    Hoping for either Paqueta or Maddison + Ramos

    If we had our first 11 playing all season we'd make Europe i reckon but as things stand we don't have the strength in depth.

    We gave every team a 14 game head start on us last season mind and still finished 11th

    A point away to Brighton is a point gained rather than 2 dropped. Potter is the best manager in the league outside of wor Eddie, Klopp and Pep. Love the way Brighton play and the way they operate in general. There is a reason why we poached their Sporting Director after all.

    I think Fraser is more effective than Murphy, and should come on before him.
