Really impressed with John who at 18 looks much better than Skipp when he was 18.

CCV can't replace Dier. Had such hopes for him when he was on the cusp of the first team.

I know nothing of Pasktosi, Dier needs replacing, but I'd be surprised if these 2 were up to it.

I see Dier as a benchman. Tanganga can definitely replace him as can Rodon. Especially if we get 2 top quality starters.

Did you the watch the game yday? How was Skipp in the first half? I only saw the 2nd half and noticed Skipp getting bullied off the ball a few times. It was abit Winks esque. I'm still not won over by him and not sure how he will be in the Prem.

If Skipp didn't get bullied in the championship which is extremely physical and demanding. I have full faith in him in the Prem. Newly promoted teams don't really struggle with physicality of prem..usually the quality.

Ndombele and Reggy seem to be missing too

Whats everyone's view on Toby Alderweireld. Some say he was our best defender. If this was true why only Middle East bidding to pay him? No one paid his release clause of 25m either.

It actually illustrates how bad Dier Sanchez and Toby were.

Might be controversial but Rodon and Tanganga partnership could have outperformed the aforementioned three if they were given at least 8 grams together.

For me this is where we should use u23 games to test partnerships. Players can play u23 then sit on the bench for a match day. Rodon and Tanganga should have done this last season whilst Mason was selecting his mates.

Poor 1st half, I thought he was better 2nd half, what you make of Dele's evolution?

Missed the first half but from what I saw I thought he was alright in the 2nd.

Whiteman had a decent game in goal also, saved a pen in 1st half, be good to see Hart moved on, rumours that Celtic are interested

Troy Parrott is having a medical at MK Dons today ahead of completing a loan move from #thfc. | @mcgrathmike

Another good loan for Troy. Used to be alot of hype around him.

🤣 autocorrect is a pain. We definitely would be more attacking and free flowing.

I think you are probably right, which is very worrying. He is so pedestrian, and needs to be upgraded.
