He's a CDM rather than a centre half though. I don't see him making the transition as successfully as Coady has.

He's a centre half that they moved forwards after he made a few mistakes in his debut season. I think he'll go back there.

Yeah, I think he'll be much better a centre half. He doesn't offer much going forward

I think he needs to go back to being a CB that can play rather than a DCM where he often gets caught out. He'd make a very good Coady type player.

Stop doing that young master Olmo! You will price us out of the market.

What an amazing defensive error for the Atlanta error!

 

[playtheace]

Cant believe Wigan arent winning against West Brum, totally outplayed them tonight.
Boggies lose the west ham loanee and Perreria gets injured and they will look incredibly bang average.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They are bang average. We would fucking destroy them if we played them at the moment.

Might have to wait six months (minimum bar a cup draw) to prove it.

Not to hear them, best football since Regis etc!.,could survive in the PL now, better than we were in chump etc etc

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I know. It's fucking hilarious.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Tbf they are matching our points tally at the same point in 17/18 but they forget they're doing it with other teams players. That can all go away in January as it proved last season with Barnes

Crucially, none with a recall option.

Pereira doesn't have one either and he's the key to everything they do. In fact they have a guaranteed purchase option on him if they want to take it up. Diagana does, but he's not as crucial and certainly not as influential as Barnes was. West Ham have said it would be better for him to stay there. Could change if they sack their manager I guess.

Albion and Leeds are pissing the league. Not so much aimed at you Lincs but I find the 'the league is shit, they are shit, we were better, it's not their own players arguments all a bit pathetic.

As I said last week two teams we came up with both went straight down so it's not exactly supporting the strength of the league we were in. It didn't stop us being a bloody good Championship side

 

[YoungWolf]

Think Albion have a 9m fee agreed for Pereira which is great business.

Them and Leeds are pissing it. Both will have to improve their squads a fair bit if and when they go up of course, but they are having excellent seasons.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They are both better than Villa were last year. But Norwich were too. And Sheffield United obviously. It’s about both whether you invest and how you invest should you make it.

We were slightly different as we built a Premier League mid table outfit in the Championship which gave us the base to invest on.

 

[jd1981]

Reality is other than Albion and Leeds the rest of the division is of shocking quality, could argue Fulham should be doing better with their squad.

 

[AndyWolves]

The teams that do well after promotion aren't the teams who go gung-ho and blow teams away by attacking, it's the teams with solid defences

Nope, total rubbish. In our championship season we scored 82 goals (the most) and conceded 39 the same as Cardiff. Cardiff only scored 69 goals.

Of course the Championship season means cock all as it matters what signings you make in the summer and perhaps more importantly how your manager adapts the players to play in the league above.
