Good to get the win tonight, but our frailties were there for all to see again.  Think Douglas Luiz has had enough chances now and it's time to get a combative central midfielder who can keep the ball to fit in alongside Kamara.  We also need a wide player as Bailey squanders possession far too often, though he did score a cracker tonight.

We need another forward option as well as Ings looks shot, but that might prove a bit trickier.

Guendouzi, Zaha and a striker for me. I’m a bit stumped for a name though.
Beto from Udinese, Charles De Ketelaere from Milan, Ben Brereton-Diaz from Blackburn, etc. Big tall pacy focal point style finishers.

Ben Brereton-Diaz is a good call. He's out of contract in the summer as well!
Would thrive under Emery

Harry Maguire didn't start the Manchester derby.
Luke Shaw is playing at left centre back.
Maguire really fallen out of favour.

Are you his agent or something?

Is he another that would thrive under Emery?

No to Diaz. No fucking way to Greaseball, I'd rather have BK8 as our stadium sponsor.

Me too Dave, but I've committed to Parkfield in the Sutton Over 45's Premier League for the rest of the season so it looks like the gig is yours.

Do they / you still play on Braemar Rd in Boldmere, sure I played a cup final against them ( open age team) many moons ago.

Edit. Come to think of it I think it was Parklands.

Played against Parklands loads of times, we went through the divisions with them.

We play on the stadium at Castle Vale as do a few of the teams, it's 9 a side on half a pitch.

Back in my heyday we played once at Castle Vale, against the Residents' Association. Biggest crowd I ever played in front of. Although that did include dogs. The only time I was ever not unhappy conceding a last minute equaliser.

I think my brother in law played for them and I did once, after being out clubbing all night and not having slept.

That was on the grass pitches before they built the stadium.

I also played for them back in the mid 90s for 2-3 years. Happy days although there were a few interesting clashes especially when we played against the Bagot!

We had some interesting games against Bagot also. I remember a a player noticing a scar on my knee and spending the rest of game attempting amputate my lower leg. Happy days.

Ash Baldry is my brother in law, he was a good player, wand for a left foot
