I'm still not convinced by Propper, but he's got to get a chance to prove himself.
Unfortunately, Tav isn't getting dropped, so Sterling at RB is a non-starter.
I would also like to see Diamonde dropped! He has been very poor, and in no way, has shown anything to justify the 4.5m we paid for him. Infact, I'm confident enough to say that I believe Diomonde will be another over priced failure at our club who we will end up selling at a loss.

Propper seems unfit at times, and do u not think dio would be better as a 10, seems to be overwhelmed with defensive duties at times.
21 Sep 2024 11:12:56
That’s the team I’d go with my star but I’d be considering playing Kelly over Butland in this cup.
21 Sep 2024 11:37:06
I think that's close to our 1st team attacking wise, would love to see that front 4 in full flight.
21 Sep 2024 11:46:30
I think propper will be ok just getting used to a diffrent style of football. Dio i totally agree fail to see what he brings atm, keep willing him to have a good game but just never comes.
Fork no even sure that would help mate, what is his actual position?
21 Sep 2024 12:00:57
Can spot in flashes that Diomande could be a player, we've got to remember he's only 22 and only spent months in a strange country.
21 Sep 2024 12:21:10
Still have some doubts about Propper but he needs games to get up to the speed and physicality of the game here, I`m sure Murray will test him. I think Sterling may be saved for Thursday night as he will be needed to play left back with Jefte suspended . Lawrence will play after his display last Sunday so I think it will be either Cortes or Bajrami. I agree with comments about Diomande up to now but not completely writing him off yet, we just need to figure out how to get the best of him, he`s not a No10, so probably an No8 in the current parlance .
21 Sep 2024 12:45:58
Don't think we know yet BB, wsl and others think he's an 8, kinda hard to pin his position tbf?.
21 Sep 2024 12:50:59
Looks like a number eight.
21 Sep 2024 12:53:52
There's no denying that there is something there, but I'm not confident he's ever going to be able to prove that with us. I believe he's another overpriced, luxury, who unfortunately, will deliver very little resulting in us selling him at a loss.
21 Sep 2024 13:03:56
Why do players from other leagues need a month or more to get fit for our exciting style of play lol!
21 Sep 2024 13:10:57
I still think dio can come good but our midfield hasn’t been great this season and I include Barron in that also. I am hoping they can all click over the next few weeks but wouldn’t write any of them off.
21 Sep 2024 14:35:41
Agree about flashes mystar and age but he's never had even 1 game were he's totally stood out, that's worrying for me mate usually they'll have excellent games here and there but the consistency isn't there am just not sure on him at all. Being youg and in a new country will only carry him so far.
21 Sep 2024 17:26:33
Well said BAR72. ?????????.
21 Sep 2024 17:47:54
My Star, I like that team you've posted.
21 Sep 2024 18:31:42
Barron has been all over the park today covering miles n miles spreading passes all around and helping out the defence how one can criticise him I really don’t know. In fact I will go as far to say he is shaping up like the new Barry Ferguson. Sterling is a little boy lost, empty jersey.
21 Sep 2024 20:29:56
Only spent months in a strange country? Arne Engels over at the dark side has been here two weeks and has hit the ground running with two goals and one assist from midfield. How come he has instantly managed to play well in a strange country?
21 Sep 2024 22:31:20
The two penalties have helped him have they not critical? Diomande scored two from outside the box in his first two games so that doesn't wash.
21 Sep 2024 23:31:24
And it helps a great deal stepping into a winning side.
22 Sep 2024 08:02:58
So Diomande is now off form or just not what we thought he would be and not finding it hard to settle in a strange country? As you said he started well so it can't be about settling in a strange country.
So if you can settle quicky in a winning team and not a losing team, is that not a concern about
mentality?
We really need to decide what excuse we are going with here as it seems like we are contradicting ourselves does it not?
22 Sep 2024 13:31:18
Daddy long legs I said it from day one mate
Got shot to pieces though about Barron ?.
22 Sep 2024 14:26:36
Contradicting? critical.
22 Sep 2024 15:56:50
Yeah mate one minute you're saying time to settle (only been here for months) then the next you're saying started well (Dio scored in his first two games so that won't wash)
