Look at the quality of the young talented players in the Hull City highlights picture.
We may have not got as much as we could have done by way of transfer fees for Manning (270 championship & 24 PL games) and BoS (126 championship, similar number in Turkey, 21 Europa league & 5 Champions League game. The poor treatment by the club playing a contributory role, but that quality of young talent isn't matched by Nourry's current intakes; Morgan excepted to a point.
In fact, it could be argued that the one's that might grow into championship capable players from the current crop, pre-date Nourry: Walsh, Murphy-Cooper, Kolli and perhaps Sutton. . [Post edited 19 Feb 10:55]

No, instead we sign them at the age of over 21. Kealey Adamson being a case in point for a just in case signing who is nowhere near Championship calibre. |

Should Norwich stay up! Under Clement, their form is that of a team with aspirations of making the play-off zone. 7 wins, 3 draws & 4 defeats. By the end of the month, they'll in all likelihood be ahead of us.
A team that is now very well managed and plays a possession-based style of football with purpose, which I wish we could replicate. And all that with sideways Sam playing his part in their team!
Please enlighten me on this eye-catching and progressive free-flowing football of ours that was clearly on display on Saturday and the week before against Charlton, now that Field is no more. [Post edited 16 Feb 13:31]

Exactly this. The majority of victories gained in this league are by the odd goal. It's wonderfully idealistic to suggest that it would be great to win by more than one goal, but that's largely the exception not the rule.
Had a quick glance at Millwall's results this season and the odd goal victories predominate. |

I doubt that you're in the minority.
A very good defensive midfield player at this level has been allowed to go out on loan to further strengthen a side that was already strong in that area. Contrary to many misconceptions, he doesn't look out of place in a team that is far better in possession than we are.
Suspect that he shall continue to reliably play his part in Norwich moving above us by the end of this month or early next. [Post edited 15 Feb 22:34]

At this stage, I'm more concerned about how the current squad navigates the next five fixtures. Even Leicester and Pompey after that. |

Kolli for me. Played well against West Ham and after a bad game against Stoke, has been usurped by Bennie!! and a returning Saito, who was poor prior to his minor injury and has largely replicated that poor form since his return. Let's give him a run of games and see how he fares.
Smyth on the right for Bennie who should be nowhere near the first team. Respectfully, Mide Shodipo at the same age as Bennie showed more promise. |

He was at fault for their first goal too, why try and keep the ball in play by blindly kicking the ball over your head by the touchline on the half-way line. A throw-in to Blackburn would have sufficed.
Instead, we lose possession, they transfer the ball to their right and one of their players adroitly nutmegs RND by using his left foot before immediately delivering a dangerous cross from deep with his right foot, for them to then score the opening goal.
Not worth £3m for mine. Too lightweight. as evidenced by the ease at which he was dispossessed for Blackburn's second. Doubtless, he'll start again next week. [Post edited 14 Feb 18:31]

Clearly, that wonderful piece of skill of his when he went down a blind alley and bizzarely dribbled the ball out of play against Charlton, whilst hardly being challenged in the first-half, must have swung it, in yet another non-performance of his.
Kolli has a bad game against Stoke and barely plays again. Saito has has had a series of bad performances, yet is nearly always selected to start the next game. Interesting. [Post edited 14 Feb 14:28]

Femi Azeez for me. Everything that Saito isn't and acquired very cheaply by Millwall at about a third of the price we paid for the privilege of the continuation of more non-performances.
It's a fair comparison as they both embarked on their championship journey at the same time. He comfortably outstripped smiling Saito in his first season by way of goals and assists too. [Post edited 14 Feb 12:37]

If you're saying that Kolli is deficient defensively by referencing the WBA game from the start of 24/25 season, in which he provided an assist for Andersen, which I disagree with, you have to acknowledge the inability of Bennie to stick to his basic assignment of marking Eccles. He wasn't even blocked or impeded by any Coventry player. His peripheral and general awareness of the basic run made Eccles was awful. That's alongside the panicked clearance v Wrexham.
He was the one against Charlton who miscontrolled a poor cross-field pass by a Charlton player, so badly, it ended going back to a Charlton player. I'm personally not sure what he does as he hardly shows for the ball, yet he has played far more minutes than Kolli since Stoke City. The same team at Loftus Road when Kolli came on in the second-half and played on the right and was diligent in his defensive duties.
It wouldn't surprise me if Kolli in the paltry 13 minutes' playing time he had in that game, touched the ball on more occasions than Bennie who would have been on the pitch for over 30 minutes, as Kolli demanded that the ball be passed to him and always showed for the ball with real conviction.

Yes, that will be the same "sideways Sam" who was heavily involved in Norwich's second goal, culminating in a first time pass that got the overlapping left-back behind Oxford's defence to deliver a first-time cross for their new striker to score his second tonight.
Nose bleed Sam in the final third of the opposition's area having the temerity to get involved in precise one-touch football! Impossible, how dare he. The same Oxford that we laboured to a snore draw a few weeks ago. [Post edited 10 Feb 21:31]

Terrible injury notwithstanding, Willock "on one leg" in his final season still managed to contribute more goals and assists than £3m Saito achieved last season and probably this one too.
That's before you look at what he achieved for us in previous seasons, feats that none of our motley crew of current wide players will ever come close to matching. [Post edited 8 Feb 13:47]

Totally absurd.
So this is the same Sam Field deemed by some as not being good enough when in possession, yet clearly viewed as being good enough by a fast-improving, possession based team in Norwich and very good coach: P Clement.
Wrong at all levels. In terms of consistency in performance, he's way better than Varane for mine. [Post edited 2 Feb 14:09]

"Even" Willock at his lowest ebb still managed to contribute more by way of goals and assists in his final season than £3m smiling Saito managed last season.
That's before we look at what he did in the two seasons preceding, the second being injury-hit when he still scored 6 goals in just 28 games, a number which the likes of Saito, Dembele or Poku are unlikely to replicate. As for the season 21/22, they've no chance of attaining those numbers. [Post edited 28 Jan 22:03]

They're now just signing players for the sake of it. How many wide players do they need. They've got Sakamoto, Mason-Clark, Esse (loan), Yang (loan), now this signing. They're also looking to sign a Brentford midfield player on loan.
As has been said in other posts, they look vulnerable defensively and if we can take better care of the football in the manner that Norwich did against them on Monday, who were excellent in that regard, we can get a similar result. They are nowhere near as good as Leeds were last season or Burnley, albeit the latter not being a like-for-like comparison in terms of playing style. [Post edited 28 Jan 15:45]

Exactly this. The technique displayed by Windass to pivot, whilst slightly off the ground, and keep his foot over the ball to ensure such a perfect connection was of the highest order. Fail to understand why he didn't start. [Post edited 24 Jan 20:12]
