    Player Watch - Ashley Phillips

    Surely it depends how good Phillips is rather than just straight up saying no way? We’re not exactly signing Guehi for £50m to compete with a Kelly for 3rd of 4th choice CB are we. If we can then fantastic but I would be very surprised. If, and I recognise it’s a big if, Phillips plays games...

    Player Watch - Ashley Phillips

    Assuming he plays, how Phillips does in these games will give a decent indication of whether Dier will need replacing at the end of the year too (pretty sure we are after a LCB regardless such as Kelly). I hope he gets his chance.

    Team vs Wolves

    Vic Porro Dier Phillips Emerson Bissouma Sarr Maddison Kulu Son Johnson I’m excited to see what Phillips can do if Ange thinks he is ready - hope he gets the nod, and if he does it’s a good sign.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Chelsea - Day 11

    Relatively strong team for them against Blackburn tonight: Sanchez James Disasi Badiashile Cucurella Ugochukwu Gallagher Fernandez Palmer Jackson Sterling Who drops out of that for our game on Monday? Disasi, Badiashile, Ugochukwu I would expect then maybe James and Jackson?

    Wasn’t there a rumour earlier of a loan with obligation offer from Atletico?

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Ultimately I’m left with the feeling that winning was not Ange’s main priority tonight, finding out about his squad was. Maybe that leads to more winning in future who knows. Feels like a big blow given our drought. Still feel he could have done that with half the changes from the off and then...

    Match Threads Fulham vs Spurs

    I’ve not seen a worse performance in a shootout. It’s quite hard to come out of one a villain as a keeper but he managed it. Unfortunate as he made some decent saves beforehand.

    Match Threads Fulham vs Spurs

    They do deserve a chance but not all at once away to premier league opposition if you have the aim of winning the competition. Next round maybe full rotation against Port Vale or some low level team could suffice. In this game make 5 changes max and maybe you can even sun on a few more of the...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    9 changes was alway going to produce that away at premier league opposition. Also to only change Scarlett before 70mins was so disappointing. There is a balance between keeping squad morale up and practically throwing games. Make 5 changes (full backs, Forster, Solomon and a CM) then with your...

    Match Threads Fulham vs Spurs

    A major misstep from Ange tonight. 9 changes was always going to produce a disjointed performance that does the people coming in no good at all. Far better to make 5 and keep some fluidity. Perhaps against league 2 opposition you could chance it. The positive momentum that was building is gone...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Brennan Johnson

    Totally agree. Tony Bloom at Brighton and Matthew Benham at Brentford, they own Starlizard and Smartodds respectively. These companies have ridiculously advanced models that are used to predict the outcome of matches with greater accuracy than betting companies. Starlizard hires quants out of...

    I think we will go with Richarlison starting and then move for him in January if it’s not working out.

    Player Watch Player Watch: Brennan Johnson

    A lot of talk about how he will play against a low block and in tight spaces. I think we have to realise that probably half of our league games this year aren’t going to be against sides low blocking us. City, Arsenal, Liverpool, United, Chelsea, Brighton, Newcastle and possibly Villa will not...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Brennan Johnson

    Alex Scott - Championship young player of the season 22/23 = Everyone falling over themselves for him. Brennan Johnson - Championship young player of the season 21/22 - signing would be ‘a disgrace’. It’s hard playing ST/Winger for a struggling team in this league and he acquitted himself well...
